Mallorca and Ibiza yacht charter; golden sandy beaches by day, lively social scene by night
Great for:
  • Nightlife
  • Luxury yachts
  • Exciting winds

Sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, Mediterranean climate and great Spanish food make the Balearic Islands a lovely sailing destination. Consisting of Ibiza, Majorca, Menorca, Formentera and Cabrera, the Balearics are a sailor's paradise of bays, harbours, and villages. It is sailing that is increasingly coming to the attention of visitors to the Balearics however, with the opportunity to see the islands this a very different light, away from the mass tourism and British themed tourist strips.

Excellent service, all queries answered promptly and very helpful.One thing that needs to be made clear, was the monies to be paid at the actual yacht charters in Mallorca had to be paid in cash euros rather than on a credit card, cleaned me out of euros!!

Balearic Islands sailing itineraries
  • 1 Week - Whole Majorca Route
  • 1 Week - Ibiza Route
1 Week - Whole Majorca Route
Day 1 – Palma

Palma is the main town of Mallorca and is home to one of the largest marinas in Europe. Here you can explore the winding cobbled streets of Palma’s old town and lose yourself in the alleyways where you will find numerous tapas bars, restaurants and cafes hidden in the back streets.

Day 2 – Port d’Andrax

This is one of the prettiest harbours in Majorca which also makes it one of the most popular. On entrance you’ll see large villas climbing up the hillsides which are the first hint at the type of place you’re visiting. You can explore the town of Andratx which is a few miles inland or just stick to the harbour side bars and restaurants.

Day 3 – Soller

Soller is a breath taking horseshoe shaped bay. The bay is well sheltered if you don’t want to go into the marina. We could recommend heading into the charming town to explore the cobbled streets and waterfront.

Day 4 – Pollenca

Located on the north tip of Majorca you’ll find Pollenca. The anchorage is well sheltered, but there is also a marina if you’re looking for some creature comforts. You should also check to see if there are any festivals or fairs happening whilst you’re visiting as they are popular and frequent here.

Day 5 – Cala Ratjada

This small fishing village is popular thanks to its fine white sandy beaches and turquoise seas. There is a lighthouse a short walk away from the beach which offers some fantastic views over to Menorca.

Day 6 – Cala d’Or

Cala d’Or meaning ‘golden bay’ in Spanish, is located on the southeast coast of Mallorca and covers several coves including Cala Ferrera, Cala Esmeralda, Cala Serena, Cala Gran, and Cala Llonga. One of the first major tourist resorts in Mallorca, the buildings here were themed on Ibiza, so you’ll find small, pretty, white-washed villas, apartments and houses lining the cobbled streets. There’s also a wide range of cafés, bars and restaurants to suit all tastes.

Day 7 – La Cabrera

The Cabrera National Park is centred around a pristine archipelago situated just 10km off the south coast of Mallorca. The Archipelago is made up of 19 small islands, all uninhabited, except for the largest, which shares its name with the National park itself. Cabrera means ‘Goatherd’ in Spanish and refers to the masses of goats which used to graze here was once home to a notorious prison camp during the Napoleonic wars it then became a military outpost in 1916 and it wasn’t until 1991 when the area was declared Spain’s first Maritime-Terrestrial National Park. Due to its biotic wealth and abundance of diverse bird species, the park has also been declared a Special Protection Area (SPA) for birds. We recommend arranging a hike with the park ranger to explore some of the main sights including the lighthouse and the caves at la Miranda.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our two primary bases in the Balearic Islands are Palma on Majorca Island and San Antonio on Ibiza Island. Palma is the capital city of Majorca and is located just 15 minutes from the airport. Palma has a selection of well sheltered marinas and quays with all the conveniences and entertainment required to start and finish a sailing holiday with a bang! San Antonio is on the south western coast of Ibiza and is well regarded as a thriving tourist hub with plenty to do and see. It’s a fantastic launching pad for a sailing holiday around Ibiza.

To embark from Majorca you must fly to Palma Airport, while to embark from Ibiza you must fly to Ibiza Airport. Both airports are conveniently placed relative to our bases, so expect a transfer time from as little as 15 minutes.

The weather in the Balearics is typically Mediterranean, with long hot and dry summers. During peak season of July and August temperatures average in the early 30s. In May and October you’ll experience temps in the early to mid 20s. The winds are mostly moderate and average Force 3-4 (light to moderate winds). In Majorca and Menorca the wind comes predominantly from the north. In Mahon, the wind blows from the north 245 days a year. In Ibiza, Formentera and the other islands, the wind comes more from the south-east and wind speeds are generally lower.

Mooring fees can add up quickly in the Balearic Islands if you’re not careful. Ibiza Town, for example, has mooring fees so expensive that they aren’t even worth mentioning here.

Charterers in Spain need an ICC (International Certificate of Competence). Those with other RYA Qualifications can apply for an ICC with no further assessment required.

As a dynamic yacht charter agency headquartered in the United Kingdom, we take pride in offering expert guidance and fantastic deals on Mediterranean sailing vacations. We look forward to arranging your next sun-soaked sailing adventure!
