Pack light, in soft-sided bags: yacht cabins have clever but limited storage, and a hard suitcase has nowhere to live once emptied. Day life aboard is swimwear, cover-ups, and sunglasses; add one or two smarter outfits, because dinners ashore in Palma or Puerto Portals are part of the Mallorca charter experience, and a light layer for evenings, especially in May, June, and September.
Leave hard-soled shoes at home; decks are barefoot or boat-shoe territory. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, any medications, and swimwear you can actually swim in, because you will, several times a day.
You need less than you think: towels, snorkeling gear, and water toys are on the boat, and Palma has everything if something is forgotten. The crew handles the rest.
