We’ve put together a list of the top 5 crewed sailing yachts in Mallorca—based on what we actually see, review, and recommend as brokers. These are standout yachts we know well, with great crews, solid layouts, and that extra something that makes a charter feel special.
5. YUME
YUME is a 2024-built 71-foot Y-Yacht based in Mallorca. She offers a great mix of performance, size, and comfort for a very good price.
She has 3 cabins for 6 guests: 1 master and 2 twin cabins (one of which is convertible to a double). Her interior is bright and clean with light wood and fabrics, and a minimalistic, modern decor.
YUME has a spacious cockpit for al-fresco dining, sunbeds on the deck, and a foredeck large enough for yoga practices.
For only €24,000 per week, YUME is an excellent deal!
What we like about YUME
- Great Value for money
- Good balance between performance and comfort
- Very Experienced local Captain
- Brand-New Condition
4. L HIPPOCAMPE
L HIPPOCAMPE is a 100-foot Nautor Swan based in Mallorca in the summer months. Built in 2008, she offers exceptional value, providing the experience of a large, well-built yacht at a more accessible rate than a newly launched vessel.
L HIPPOCAMPE has 4 cabins for 8 guests: 2 VIP cabins, 1 double, and 1 twin. This is a great layout for families or couples sharing. She comes with a beautiful wooden interior with a clean look – no clutter.
A highlight of the crew is Captain Ella Holmes from New Zealand. Ella is a former swim instructor who has taught hundreds of children to swim, making her especially great with families and younger guests.
What we like about YUME
- Great Value for money
- Versatile cabin layout
- Very family-friendly captain
- 4 crew for 8 guests
3. ONYX II
ONYX II is a 99-foot Swan, one of the top sailing yacht designs out there. She was built in 2005 and underwent a major refit in 2o21, where she got completely new teak decks, new hull paint, all new interior and exterior upholstery, and a bar added in the saloon.
With 3 cabins accommodating up to 6 guests—1 master and 2 twins—ONYX II is well-suited for families. A crew of 4 ensures a strong crew-to-guest ratio, providing attentive service throughout the trip, even while underway.
ONYX II comes with a 16-meter chase tender, which opens up endless possibilities for guests who would like to be independent of the main yacht. They can visit restaurants and sites further afield, have day trips easily moving between yacht, beaches, and islands, and also travel to and from shore in comfort, even in choppy conditions.
What we like about YUME
- Top yacht design
- Older yacht in new wrap
- Big chase tender for exploring
- Great guest/crew ratio insuring top service
2. HYPERION
HYPERION is a 155-foot Royal Huisman built in 1998 – a true master piece that will impress anyone with a soft spot for classic yacht design.
She delivers a high-end experience for up to 6 guests, looked after by a dedicated crew of 8. Captain Daniel Rawlins has been with HYPERION for over 15 years—a strong testament to both the yacht and its leadership.
The 3-cabin layout includes a stunning full-beam master suite with a king-size bed, private study, and a marble ensuite bathroom. There’s also one VIP cabin and one twin cabin, making the setup ideal for families.
Other standout features include an aft swim platform, open-air dining, and an aft deck cinema—perfect for watching movies under the stars.
What we like about YUME
- Stunning classic yacht design
- Long-standing captain
- Full-beam master with private study
- Aft-deck Cinema
1. FANCY
FANCY is a 107-foot Nautor Swan built in 2023. This is a newer and slightly bigger version of L HIPPOCAMPE – but she is a world apart.
Designed for high-performance sailing, FANCY features a sleek, minimalist exterior and cutting-edge sailing technology. Inside, she offers luxurious comfort with a bright, modern interior—wooden floors, white walls and furniture, and elegant finishes throughout.
She accommodates up to 9 guests in 4 cabins: a stunning master suite, one VIP, two twins, and a Pullman berth for an extra child.
For active guests, FANCY comes equipped with windsurfing gear and even has a professional windsurfing instructor on staff.
What we like about YUME
- High-tech yacht design
- High-end interior
- Windsurfing gear and an instructor onboard
Who is William?
My experience over the years has allowed me to effectively guide clients in finding their dream yacht for their charter. This includes taking into account their preferences in terms of itineraries, cabin configurations, water sports, crew personality compatibility, and more.
I’ve attended numerous charter broker yacht shows, providing me with the chance to interact with yacht managers and crews, giving me the ability to recommend the perfect yacht to potential clients.
At the heart of my strategy lies communication between clients and yacht managers. I believe that providing clients with transparent information is critical to empowering them to make an informed decision, which is especially important since each charter is seen as a once-in-a-lifetime vacation. We aim to find the best option for their budget, resulting in many repeat clients at DMA Yachting.
If there was one piece of advice I could give clients, it would be to aim to book their charter 6 to 12 months in advance to secure the most fitting yacht for their chosen dates.
