Unlikely in summer. The Balearic season runs on long settled spells, mornings are typically calm, and the afternoon sea breeze is the kind of wind that fills sails rather than stomachs. Daily legs are short, and most nights are spent at anchor in protected calas where the boat barely moves.
If anyone in your group is nervous about motion, tell us and we build the trip around it. A catamaran is the steadiest platform: two hulls, no heeling, very little roll at anchor. Many larger motor yachts carry stabilizers that settle the ride under way and at rest.
The honest caveat: wind happens, especially outside high summer, and open crossings like Mallorca to Ibiza have more movement than a coastal day. A good captain times those legs for calm windows and keeps the route on the sheltered coast when it blows; Mallorca offers a protected side in almost any wind.
