The fleet is sailing yachts, catamarans and motor yachts for the Balearic week — Mallorca can be circumnavigated in seven days, Menorca is a night’s sail east, Ibiza and Formentera a day south-west.
The season runs April to October; June and September are the sweet spot between warm water and August prices, and the buoy fields at Cabrera and the calas are booked online days ahead in high summer.

What is not in the price?

Why do some boats show no price?
49 of the 99 boats in Palma de Mallorca are on request — usually larger or crewed yachts, where the rate depends on the week and the crew. They are left out of every figure above.
How far is the airport from Palma de Mallorca?
The nearest airport is Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI), about 10 km away as the crow flies; Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is about 135 km. Transfer times by road are longer; most charter companies arrange a transfer to the base on request.
Do I need a licence to charter bareboat in Spain?
For a sailing yacht or a larger motorboat, yes: Spain accepts most national skipper licences, checked at handover, though the rules are applied differently from port to port. Small motorboats under 15 hp can be hired without one. Without a licence, a skipper is booked as an extra on the boat page.
What day do charters start?
Weekly charters run Saturday to Saturday: handover in the late afternoon and return to the base the evening before check-out at 9:00. Day charters start in the morning from the same pontoons.
Can we anchor anywhere in the Balearics?
No — posidonia seagrass is protected across the islands, so anchoring is on sand patches or the buoy fields (booked online), and the rangers check. Fines for anchoring on seagrass are real.
Where can I sail in a week from Palma?
Round Mallorca — Andratx, Sóller, Pollença, Alcúdia and the east-coast harbours — with Cabrera national park to the south; or across to Menorca (a night’s sail) or Ibiza and Formentera (a day) for a two-island week.
