7-Day Mallorca Yacht Charter Itinerary

Day 0 – Arriving in Palma

We start our 6-day Mallorca yacht itinerary from Palma. After you enter the capital city, take the day to explore the “cosmopolitan rush” that it offers. Perhaps jumpstart your holiday with brunch at a Michelin-starred restaurant at any of the eight luxurious marinas in the Palma port. (We recommend Il Paradiso near Port Calanova Marina.) Post lunch, head to the bustling city to witness market blocks and quiet neighborhoods as you amble your way to the city center.

The port in Palma de Mallorca is one of the largest and most exquisite in Europe. The waterfront is usually crowded throughout the year, but you’ll find respite as you walk into the town. Quaint, cobbled streets, an imposing gothic cathedral, and numerous alleyways that are great for a post-siesta walk.

Board the skippered yacht post noon at around 4 PM and head to Puerto Andratx.

Sailing in Palma – Things to Know

• Palma is the largest port in Mallorca and a waterfront capital
• Several options for mooring with fine dining and entertainment options at every corner

Mooring in Palma – Things to Do

• Walk on the cobblestone streets of the old town of Palma
• Grab a sumptuous meal at a five-star restaurant
• Visit the La Seu Cathedral (Palma Cathedral), Europe’s most famous Gothic church

Day 1. Palma to Port d’Andratx

Your Mallorca sailing yacht charter kicks off in Palma, where most yachts are based. After a quick 17-nautical mile cruise west, your first stop is Port d’Andratx—a chic harbor town tucked into the hillside. It’s a favorite first-night anchorage for both motor yachts and sailing charters alike.

We recommend exploring Sant Elm, relaxing at anchor, and ending your day with dinner at a marina-front restaurant like Tim’s Bar.

Andratx Highlights

• Visit Port of Valdemosa and Cala Deia
• Visit Sant Elm white sand beach
• Visit the ruins of La Trapa Monastery
• Watch the sunset at a beachfront restaurant like Tim’s Bar

Day 2. Port d’Andratx to Port Sóller

Distance: 25 nm | Duration: 2-3 hours 

After a 25NM cruise from Andratx, this peaceful natural harbor backed by the Serra de Tramuntana mountains offers a scenic change of pace.

We recommend stretching your legs here. Either hop the famous 100-year-old wooden tram through fragrant orange groves or hike uphill for breathtaking views over the bay. Prefer something more relaxed? Grab a table in the old town, stroll through art galleries, and stock up on local olive oil or Sóller’s famous citrus preserves.

Many of our clients love to overnight here—easy docking, great food, and a very walkable village vibe.

Sóller Highlights

• Ride the historic Tramuntana tram

• Visit the buzzing Mercado de Sóller

• Sample local sardine tapas at a marina taverna

• Hike to a Sierra de Tramuntana viewpoint

• Enjoy sundowners with a mountain backdrop

Day 3. Sóller to Pollença

After a long sail up the coast, the Bay of Pollença feels like a well-earned reward. Sitting at the northern tip of Mallorca, this area is hands down one of the island’s most beautiful spots. Calm waters, pine-backed beaches, and reefy swim zones make it a dream for snorkeling and swimming.

We usually anchor off Cala Clara or Cala Molins—great for a dip and close enough for a shore trip. If you’re up for a bit of exploring, the historic Pont Romà and the ruins of the 14th-century Santuari de la Mar de Déu del Puig are worth the walk. Pollença town itself is a mellow mix of cafés, craft shops, and a handful of galleries.

This is also where we send our dive-loving clients—some of the clearest waters and best scuba diving in Mallorca can be found here.

This is also a great spot for scuba diving where you can explore a wonderful reef teeming with fish.

Pollença Highlights

• Swim and snorkel in Cala Clara & Cala Molins

• Explore the Formentor Lighthouse

• Discover the old Roman bridge and monastery ruins

• Try a local café cortado in Pollença’s quiet squares

• Time your trip with the Pollença Music Festival (July–August)

Day 4. Pollença to Cala Ratjada

Located on the northeast corner of Mallorca, Cala Ratjada is home to a super charming old fishing village and some of best beaches in the area.

We recommend mooring near Cala Agulla or Sa Pedruscada—both Blue Flag beaches with soft sand and unreal turquoise water, perfect for swimming and snorkeling straight off the yacht.

Later, stretch your legs with a walk to the Capdepera Lighthouse, where the views across the Balearic Sea are panoramic and peaceful. If you’re into local color, keep an eye out for the traditional llaüts—the wooden fishing boats still used by locals. Cala Ratjada also has a nice little food scene, great for cocktails and a sunset bite.

It’s a slower pace here—great for recovering after a few busier days of sailing in Mallorca.

Cala Ratjada Highlights

• Swim and snorkel at Cala Agulla or Sa Pedruscada

• Walk to the scenic Capdepera Lighthouse

• Hike the Punta de Capdepera trails

• Spot traditional Mallorcan llaüts in the harbor

• Enjoy fresh seafood and a cocktail at a seaside chiringuito

Day 5. Cala Ratjada to Cala d’Or

Cala d’Or is a postcard-perfect stop with a mix of laid-back charm and lively coastal vibes. Known for its whitewashed villas, hidden coves, and sunny microclimate, this southeast gem is one of the most accessible and guest-friendly marinas on your Mallorca yacht charter.

We recommend mooring at Port Petit—convenient, well-equipped, and close to the action. From there, it’s an easy stroll to beach clubs, restaurants, and boutique shops, or to one of the area’s many small coves like Cala Esmeralda or Cala Serena.

Not in the mood to hike or explore? No problem. This is the spot to relax, sip something cold, and soak in that sea breeze with toes in the sand.

Cala d’Or Highlights

• Moor at Port Petit for central access

• Swim at Cala Esmeralda or Cala Serena

• Browse shops or unwind at a marina-side café

• Enjoy Cala d’Or’s famously steady sunshine year-round

• Great spot for an extra day if you’re in chill mode

Day 6. Cala d’Or to Cabrera Island

A protected national park just two hours south of Cala d’Or, Cabrera Island is unlike anywhere else in the Balearics. Remote, raw, and unspoiled—it’s the kind of place we always recommend adding if you’re into snorkeling, marine life, and nature at its purest.

You’ll need a permit to enter, but it’s worth the planning. The waters here are crystal clear, with sea turtles, grouper, and even the occasional dolphin. The dramatic coastline and underwater cliffs make for an unforgettable swim.

Back on land, there’s a 14th-century castle with panoramic views and a haunting past, plus walking paths that lead to old lighthouse ruins and a defunct military post. This is one of the most peaceful stops of your Mallorca sailing yacht charter—and a favorite among our team.

*We take care of the Permits to access the protected marine zone.

Cabrera Highlights

• Prime scuba diving spot

• Swim or snorkel in the Cova Blava sea cave

• Hike to the Castell de Cabrera for a panoramic lookout

• Spot wildlife both above and below the surface

• A quiet, no-distractions kind of day

Day 7. Cabrera Island Back to Palma

The return to Palma gives you a chance to wind down. It’s a good day to take it slow—sleep in, have a relaxed breakfast onboard, and enjoy the final leg of your trip before disembarking.

Back in the city, we suggest hitting the spots you missed at the start. Palma’s food scene is worth the stop: DINS Santi Taura and Adrián Quetglas both hold Michelin stars and deliver consistently. For something less formal, Forn de Sant Joan is a long-time favorite in the old town, and Vandal mixes creative dishes with solid cocktails.

If you’re staying the night, grab a last drink at Bar Abaco—a little over-the-top, but worth it—or keep it clean with craft cocktails at Brassclub.
