Yacht Chartering in the Balearics

Yacht Chartering in the Balearics

Sleek yachts, sheltered coves, and sun-soaked afternoons, the Balearic Islands are tailor-made for chartering. With four unique islands, each offering their own rhythm, the region blends effortless luxury with a deep sense of escape.

Chartering a yacht here isn’t just about getting from A to B. It’s about dropping anchor in secluded bays, long lunches at waterside restaurants, and the freedom to do things your way.

‍

Start in Mallorca

Most charters begin in Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands and home to some of the best cruising routes in the Med. Palma is your starting point, a cosmopolitan city with a historic heart and world-class restaurants.

From here, you can explore the island’s rugged west coast: Deià, Port d’Andratx, and the remote beaches of Sa Calobra and Cala Tuent. The east coast offers a slower pace, with calas like Cala Mitjana or Cala Mondragó perfect for anchoring and swimming.

Ibiza and Formentera: Glamour and barefoot freedom

Sail southwest and you’ll reach Ibiza, known as much for its laid-back beaches as it is for its energy. Cruise into Cala Jondal, head ashore for lunch at Blue Marlin, or explore the quieter north with hidden spots like Benirràs.

Just a short hop across the water is Formentera, all white sand, turquoise seas, and beach bars that feel lifted from the Caribbean. Anchor off Illetes Beach, explore by paddleboard, or step ashore for sunset sangria and fun-filled lunches at restaurants like Beso Beach. Formentera is small but unforgettable.

Menorca: Quiet, beautiful, and completely underrated

Often overlooked, Menorca offers a completely different pace. The coastline is a dream to explore by yacht, unspoilt, peaceful, and rich with character. Cala Macarella, Cala Mitjana, and the hidden south coast bays are perfect for anchoring.

The island’s port towns, Mahon and Ciutadella, are understated, elegant, and ideal for a calm evening ashore. If you’re seeking tranquillity with a backdrop of wild beauty, this is the spot.
