Yacht Charter in Mallorca
Tramuntana cliffs, turquoise southeast calas and Palma's marinas.
Mallorca is the largest Balearic island and one of Europe's great yachting hubs. Palma, home to Club de Mar and nearby Port Adriano, welcomes superyachts from around the world, and the coastline is remarkably varied: sheer Tramuntana cliffs in the northwest, calm turquoise calas with white sand in the southeast. Where you depart from largely shapes your day on the water.
A yacht charter in Mallorca fits almost any plan. A half-day cruise around the Bay of Palma brings cathedral views and swims in the southwest coves. A full day can take you to Sa Dragonera island or the Cabrera archipelago. A week on a sailing yacht or catamaran lets you circle the island or cross to Menorca or Ibiza. The local fleet covers everything from skippered sailing boats to fully crewed superyachts.
As across the Balearics, anchoring on Posidonia seagrass is prohibited, and visiting Cabrera National Park requires a permit arranged in advance, usually by the operator. We send your request to vetted companies, compare what each price includes, such as fuel, VAT and catering, and send you clear options that are easy to choose between.

Yes, catamarans in particular are stable and spacious. Request child life jackets in advance. Bring sunscreen, hats, swimwear, a light layer for the evening and seasickness remedies if you are prone to it.
How do booking and weather cancellations work?
A deposit usually confirms the date, with the balance due before departure. If conditions are unsafe, the captain may change the route, reschedule or cancel; refund and rescheduling rules depend on the yacht and are set out in your quote.
