Cabrera Island Yacht Charter Guide
Cabrera is one of the Mediterranean’s last wild island groups — a National Park just 26 nautical miles south of Palma. Entry is highly regulated to protect its pristine waters and seagrass meadows: permits are required for all overnight stays, and moorings book out quickly in summer.
As your charter specialists, we secure Cabrera permits in advance, ensuring your yacht and crew have access to the limited mooring buoys in Cabrera Bay. This exclusivity makes Cabrera Island one of the most memorable and privileged stops on a Mallorca yacht charter.
