Overview
A yacht charter from Palma
gives you unlimited freedom to marvel in the Mediterranean’s glistening-blue
waters, stunning secluded beaches and all the natural splendor Mallorca has to
offer.
From the cobbled
streets of Palma’s walled city to the illuminated caves of Porto Cristo and
various vineyards producing some of the world’s most sought-after wines,
Mallorca is a small island with colossal character. Discover it all with one of
our suggested itineraries or expand your exploration grounds to include nearby
islands like Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera.
Palma
Highlights
There’s simply no
better way to enjoy all of Mallorca’s hidden treasures than by way of a Sail
yacht charter. As you immerse yourself into the idyllic coastline surrounding
this Mediterranean gem, endless opportunities await. In particular, there are a
number of must-see sights and onshore activities worth doing. Pay a visit to
the Golden mile of Palma for some fine dining and designer fashion shopping,
take a guided tour of the illuminated caves of Drach
in Porto Cristo, taste the premier Mallorca gin at a local distillery, hike
your way through Cabrera National Park, and of course, no Palma charter is
complete without indulging in the world-famous paella.

Balearic Islands (Illes Balears)
Just 50 miles off the
eastern coast of Spain, Palma enjoys a year-round, dry and sunny climate that
offers pleasant temperatures averaging 70 °F in May
and about 88°F in July & August. Winds trend between 5-15 knots,
southeasterly in the western part of the cruising area and northwesterly in the
eastern part of the cruising area.
Part of an island
chain spread over miles of open water, Mallorca offers an adventurous blue water
sailing vacations for experienced sailors. Take on some exhilarating coastal
sailing in the sparkling Balearic Sea. Less experienced sailors can go on short
trips between hidden calas, while strong
winds make for rewarding longer voyages for more advanced crews.
Just off the south
west coast of Mallorca you’ll find the Cabrera Archipelago National Park. This group
of protected islands shelters some spectacular underwater meadows where the
scuba diving is among the best in the Mediterranean, with groupers, octopi,
loggerhead turtles and even dolphins paying the meadows a visit. A spell
of exhilarating blue water sailing from the north of Mallorca will guide you to
the neighboring island of Menorca. With great food, beautiful scenery and
high-quality sailing on offer, a Balearic Island sailing vacation is about more
than just partying.
Why not discover
Mallorca together on our newest Mediterranean flotilla route? Sailing
on flotilla from Mallorca gives you the freedom to discover coastal sailing,
without the fuss of route planning. It is suitable for sailors with some
previous experience, due to a variety of conditions and navigational
challenges.
