Have you ever imagined sailing the Mediterranean? Embarking on a Majorca yacht charter holiday from the sunny coast of Spain may be just what you’re looking for. Here you can enjoy the crystal clear waters, white sand beaches, and endless water sports as you cruise the picturesque coastline during your Majorca yacht charter holiday.
Majorca Yacht Charter Holiday
As one of the four largest Balearic Islands, the Mediterranean island of Majorca (or Mallorca) offers 341 miles of coast to explore. The natural beauty of the island’s east side has over 50 secluded bays with gorgeous beaches, perfect swimming coves with turquoise waters, and quaint beachside restaurants, all with an authentic Spanish flair for you to enjoy during your Majorca yacht charter holiday.
Visit the bustling fishing villages of Andratx, Soller, or Pollensa to the north, a very popular Majorca yacht charter holiday destination for naturalists where activities include birdwatching, hiking, and cycling. Worthwhile stops around the island include Porto Colom, Porto Cristo, Cala d’Or, Cala Llombars, Magaluf, Palma Nova, and Palma de Mallorca Bay.
Not to be missed sightseeing in the city of Palma de Mallorca includes the Cathedral of Palma known as Sa Seu, the 14th century Believer Castle, Almudaina Palace, along with the historic Old Palma district. Popular day sailing trips from Majorca include Ibiza, Formentera, Menorca, and the Cabrera Island Nature Reserve.
Typical sailing conditions for a Majorca yacht charter holiday consist of 70°F weather with mild winds. Marinas throughout the Balearic Islands can be somewhat expensive with prices ranging from $66 to $132 USD per night depending on yacht size and location but it’s also possible to anchor in any of the islands protected bays.
Nautilus Yachting offers a selection of catamarans and yachts, most less than 3 years old, from their home port adjacent to the Royal Yacht Club in Palma de Mallorca. A Bavaria 30 yacht for 4 guests can be rented from $1,725 USD per week or a Sun Odyssey 45DS that sleeps 6 rents for $6,800 USD during the peak August season.

Sailing Europe offers some tips before you go sail away on your Majorca yacht charter holiday. Have you chartered a yacht before? Are you qualified for a bareboat rental or a skippered/crew charter? How many passengers will there be – are any of them children? Are snorkeling and other water sport equipment supplied? Do you need to bring food and drinks? In case of an emergency, what should you do?
Knowing the answers to these questions will help ensure your Majorca yacht charter holiday will be smooth sailing all the way.
