Balearic Island Yacht Charters
The Balearic Islands are located between Spain and the coast of North Africa. The four major islands—Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera—retain a personality that is unique to them and to the rest of Spain. The three summer months of June, July, and August see a tremendous influx of tourists from around the world looking for sun and pleasure. Not really unexpected given everything the Balearic Islands have to offer, including gorgeous beaches, nonstop sunlight, delectable cuisine, casinos, and a raucous nightlife. You can encounter more during a vacation on a yacht charter in the Balearic Islands than the average mainland traveler could ever hope for. The islands include wild and distinctively Spanish landscapes. Any of the innumerable coves and beaches along the steep coastlines can accommodate boat docking. For breathtaking ports, visit the picturesque ports of Cindadella and Mahon. Explore the narrow cobblestone alleyways by coming ashore. Wander casually around the secluded beaches of Formentera and Cabrera. If you want, you can escape the chaos or completely avoid it while still enjoying it. Outside of the 24-hour festivities, one can see Gothic buildings, Stone Age artifacts, solitary bays, and commanding mountains. Mallorca, Palma, Ibiza, Formentera, and Menorca all offer a variety of yacht charter options, including motor, sailing, crewed yachts, catamaran, power boat, sailboat, luxury yachts, and the increasingly popular super yacht hire. Renting a boat in the Balearic Islands is your best bet.
Balearic Islands yacht Charter Cruising Itinerary
Day 1:When you land in Ibiza, your captain will meet you at the airport and drive you to your charter yacht. After you’ve settled in, head to the picturesque island of Formentera to spend the day swimming and snorkeling in peace and quiet. Come back to Ibiza for a fantastic night.
Day 2:As you cruise up Ibiza Cala D’en Serra’s coast, savor a leisurely breakfast (or lunch, depending on what time you got back to the yacht from the clubs!). The turquoise waters of this lovely sandy cove are excellent for snorkeling. Under a sky filled with stars, dinner will be served outside. If the weather is good, the yacht will dock off the rocky island of Cabrera before heading to Mallorca after dinner.
Day 3:After spending some time exploring the city, especially the La Seu Cathedral and its surroundings, depart from Cabrera for Palma. Return to the boat for lunch while you cruise north to Porto Cristo to see the magnificent Coves del Drac, a grotto with an amazing underground lake. After your visit, it is just a short cruise up to Port d’Alcudia. Eat dinner on the ship or sample the local fare.
Day 4: After breakfast, you might decide to ride your bike a little distance to the Parc Natural De S’Albufera where you can go for a walk and possibly spot some unique bird species. Before departing for Menorca, return to the yacht for some water activities. For the evening, either anchor or dock in Mao (Mahon), the country’s capital.
Day 5: After breakfast, depart towards Fornells in the northern portion of Menorca. This charming fishing community is located at the head of a large bay. There are a number of anchorages nearby, each one prettier than the last. The one that is ideal for you will be chosen by your captain. The rest of the day can be spent having fun in the water, and the evening can be spent anchored.
Day 6: Enjoy breakfast while sailing as your yacht sets out early for Port de Soller, a lovely natural harbor encircled by the breathtaking Serra de Tramuntana mountains. If you enjoy music, you might want to rent a car and travel to Validemossa, where Chopin resided, to visit the Carthusain Monastery.
Day 7: Take a wonderful short trip back to Palma to allow yourself enough time to get to the airport on Majorca, where you will catch a flight back to Ibiza, or just head out of Palma to your final destination.
