2. What are the best cruising routes around Mallorca?

Most charters begin by cruising either east or west, depending on weather conditions, allowing you to comfortably explore or even circumnavigate the island within a week. Mallorca’s coastline offers a beautiful blend of sandy beaches, turquoise bays and dramatic cliffs, giving you a constantly changing backdrop as you cruise from one anchorage to the next. Highlights along the southern coast include Es Trenc and the pristine waters surrounding Cabrera National Park, both known for their natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere.

The western coastline offers a more rugged, dramatic landscape with iconic stops such as Dragonera Island, the charming harbour of Port de Sóller and striking coastal formations like Sa Foradada and Sa Calobra. With so many picturesque bays and scenic stretches to explore, your route can be perfectly tailored to your pace, your interests and the experience you want to create.

3. How much does it cost to charter a luxury yacht in Mallorca?

Charter rates in Mallorca vary depending on the yacht’s size, style, season and duration. As a general guideline, the yachts we offer range from around € 25,000 per week to € 1 million+, depending on the category and level of onboard luxury. These price differences reflect the yacht’s size, number of crew, onboard amenities and overall exclusivity.

In addition to the base rate, guests should consider 21% Spanish VAT and an APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) of around 30–35%, which covers personalised expenses such as food, drinks, berthing fees and any itinerary-dependent fuel. This structure ensures transparency and flexibility while giving you the freedom to tailor your charter completely to your wishes.

4. When is the best time of year to charter a yacht in Mallorca?

Mallorca offers excellent yachting conditions from spring through autumn, with May to October being the most popular months. During this period, the weather is warm, the sea is calm and the long summer days are perfect for swimming, exploring coves and enjoying life at anchor. May, June and September are particularly appealing for guests who prefer a slightly quieter atmosphere combined with ideal cruising conditions.

July and August bring the peak of the Mediterranean summer — warm seas, lively marinas and plenty of on-shore and on-water activity. Whether you prefer a vibrant summer ambience or a more peaceful shoulder-season experience, Mallorca’s reliable climate makes it one of the best and most versatile yachting destinations in the Mediterranean.

5. Which ports in Mallorca are the main embarkation points for luxury yacht charters?

Mallorca has several world-class marinas that serve as ideal starting points for your charter. Palma de Mallorca is the island’s main yachting hub, offering excellent facilities, a wide selection of premium vessels and direct access to some of the island’s most beautiful cruising grounds. Its close proximity to the airport also makes embarkation especially convenient.

Other popular marinas include Port Adriano, known for its modern Philippe Starck design and upscale atmosphere, as well as Puerto Portals and Port d’Andratx, both offering a great blend of yacht services, restaurants and nightlife. For charters focused on the west coast, Port de Sóller provides a scenic and charming alternative. Each marina offers its own character, making it easy to choose the perfect match for your itinerary.

6. How many guests can a luxury yacht accommodate in Mallorca?

Most luxury yachts on Mallorca comfortably host 6 to 10 guests overnight, making them ideal for families, couples or small groups travelling together. A limited number of larger yachts can accommodate up to 12 guests overnight, which is the maximum allowed for private charters. Cabins are typically arranged with master, VIP and guest staterooms, offering a high level of comfort and privacy for everyone onboard.

For day cruising or while underway, all charter yachts are licensed to carry a maximum of 12 guests, regardless of size, in accordance with international safety regulations. This ensures a safe, enjoyable and well-managed experience on the water. Your broker can advise you on the best yacht layout for your group, ensuring each guest enjoys a comfortable and balanced onboard stay.

7. What water toys are included on luxury charter yachts in Mallorca?

Most luxury yachts on Mallorca come equipped with a fun collection of water toys designed to make the most of the island’s bays and clear waters. Common options include seabobs, paddleboards, snorkelling gear and towable inflatables. Some yachts also carry jet skis, though these require a specific licence to operate and are not available on every vessel. All equipment is supervised by trained crew members who ensure safety and help guests get the most out of each activity.

Larger yachts and superyachts often feature an even wider selection, such as wakeboards, water skis, e-foils, diving equipment and sometimes a dedicated sports tender. Because every yacht has its own unique list of toys — and some items depend on licensing and availability — it’s always best to check with us in advance. This ensures we can match you with a yacht that offers exactly the activities you’re looking for.

8. How far in advance should I book a luxury yacht charter in Mallorca?

To secure the best selection, especially during the busy summer months, it’s advisable to book your yacht 6 to 12 months in advance. June through September is peak season, and the most desirable yachts often book out early. Planning ahead gives you access to the best options in your preferred size and style and allows plenty of time to tailor your itinerary.

During the shoulder months of May and October, availability tends to be more flexible, but booking several months in advance is still recommended. Last-minute charters are sometimes possible, but the choice becomes more limited, particularly for larger yachts or specific models. Early booking ensures a smooth planning process and the best overall experience.

9. Can I customise the itinerary for my Mallorca yacht charter?

Yes, every Mallorca yacht charter you book with us can be completely tailored to your preferences. Whether you want secluded coves, lively coastal towns, scenic cruising or a mix of everything, the route can be adapted to match your interests and preferred pace. Your captain will consider weather conditions and your personal wishes to create a unique itinerary that makes the most of each day.

Because a private charter offers total flexibility, your plans can be adjusted at any time during your trip. You can stay longer in a favourite bay, explore a new spot on a whim or simply follow the sun and sea. This freedom to shape each day exactly as you wish is one of the true luxuries of chartering a yacht on Mallorca.
