Destination · May – October
The largest of Spain's Balearic Islands.
The destination
Mallorca is the usual starting point for a Balearic yacht charter. From Palma you can reach the east-coast calas in a day, work the Tramuntana shoreline to the north, or run across to Ibiza and on to Formentera if the itinerary allows. Distances between key stops are generally short, which suits families and first-time charterers; sailors still get usable wind in season. Marina infrastructure is strong - berths, provisioning and crew support are straightforward compared with less developed coasts. July and August are the busiest months in harbour; May, June and September usually give warmer water with more room to move. A week based on Mallorca is the standard pattern; adding Ibiza or Formentera needs a clearer plan and, often, a faster boat or an extra day.
Along the coast
Discover Mallorca by private yacht, from the vibrant waterfront of Palma to the dramatic Tramuntana coastline and beautiful bays of the north. Explore picturesque fishing harbours, swim beneath towering limestone cliffs and enjoy long Mediterranean lunches overlooking the water. Beyond the island's celebrated beach clubs lies a wonderfully varied coastline best experienced from the sea.
7 days
01
Begin your Mallorca escape in Palma, where historic architecture meets a vibrant Mediterranean waterfront. Settle aboard your yacht before exploring the old town's winding streets, hidden courtyards and excellent restaurants. With the magnificent cathedral overlooking the harbour, it's a wonderful introduction to the island before setting off along the coast.
02
Cruise west towards Port d'Andratx, one of Mallorca's most attractive natural harbours. Surrounded by dramatic hills and elegant waterfront villas, it's a favourite for long lunches overlooking the boats. Enjoy fresh seafood at one of the harbour's restaurants, explore the pretty waterfront or spend the afternoon discovering secluded coves along the southwest coast.
03
The journey north reveals some of Mallorca's most spectacular coastline, with the Tramuntana mountains rising directly from the sea. Arrive in the beautiful horseshoe bay of Port de Sóller, where waterfront cafés and restaurants line the promenade. Head ashore for a relaxed afternoon, or take the historic tram inland to discover the charming town of Sóller.
04
Few places capture Mallorca's natural beauty quite like Sa Calobra. Towering limestone cliffs frame remarkably clear water, creating a spectacular setting for a swim when conditions permit. Explore the dramatic entrance to the Torrent de Pareis gorge, or simply enjoy the scenery from the yacht. It's one of those places that feels particularly special when approached from the sea.
05
Discover Mallorca's quieter northern shores, where pine-covered hills meet sweeping bays and beautiful turquoise water. Cruise beneath the dramatic cliffs of the Formentor peninsula before making your way into Port de Pollença. Enjoy a leisurely lunch ashore, explore the waterfront or spend the afternoon swimming in one of the area's beautiful coves.
06
Escape to the protected Cabrera archipelago, a remarkable marine national park just south of Mallorca. With crystal-clear water, rugged scenery and almost no development, it offers a wonderfully different side of the Balearics. Explore the island's natural beauty, swim in designated areas or visit the historic castle overlooking the harbour. Access and mooring require advance arrangements, making this a stop best planned carefully.
