Yacht Charters in Mallorca
Turquoise calas below pine cliffs on the east coast, the wild Tramuntana to the north, and Palma's cathedral lighting up the bay at night. Mallorca has more good anchorages than a week can hold.
Mallorca is where Mediterranean chartering grew up — Palma is one of the great yachting capitals, an easy flight from anywhere in Europe, with a cathedral-crowned bay and a marina scene to match. But sail an hour out and the island turns wild: the south-east coast is a string of calas, narrow turquoise inlets bitten into low cliffs, each with a sand beach at its head and a fish restaurant on the rocks.
A week barely covers it. North of Palma the Serra de Tramuntana drops sheer into the sea — Sa Calobra, Sóller's hidden port, monasteries on the ridge above. South lies Cabrera, a whole archipelago turned national park where you anchor by permit in water so clear the boat throws a shadow on the seabed. Between them, the calas of the east: Cala d'Or, Portocolom, Mondragó. The sailing is friendly, the tables are extraordinary.
What to look for in the right vessel

The east-coast calas
Cala d'Or, Mondragó, Portocolom — narrow turquoise inlets with sand beaches and rock-side restaurants, most beautiful from the water.
Sail into Palma
One of the Mediterranean's great yachting cities — provision under the Gothic cathedral, then leave the bay at sunset.
Cabrera national park
An uninhabited archipelago south of Mallorca, anchoring by permit in glass-clear protected water. The crew arrange it.
The Tramuntana coast
Sheer cliffs, Sa Calobra, the hidden Port de Sóller — the dramatic north coast is a day of pure scenery.

For mallorca.
Where do Mallorca charters start?
Palma is the main base — a huge marina scene 20 minutes from Palma airport (PMI), which connects across Europe several times an hour in season. Some charters start from Alcúdia or Portocolom on the other coasts.
When is the best season?
May, June, September and October are ideal — warm sea, open calas and space to anchor. July and August are hot, glamorous and busy: the popular calas fill by mid-morning, so a boat that can move early is the way to enjoy them.
Can we combine Mallorca with the other islands?
Yes — Mallorca to Menorca is a comfortable passage, and Ibiza/Formentera are a longer but common hop south-west. A 10-day charter can link two or all of the Balearics; ask for a multi-island itinerary when you inquire.
Is it good for families?
Very — the east-coast calas are sheltered and shallow-edged with sand beaches, distances are short, and there's always a restaurant near the anchorage. Crewed catamarans are the family favourite for deck space and stability.
