Balearic Islands Yacht Charter Guide

A luxury yacht charter of the Balearic Islands is a potent mix of the best weather in Europe with a culture-filled capital city, idyllic countryside and world-famous nightlife. An undisputed favorite that brings many back year after year.

Watching the sunset over Formentera from the private deck on board your luxury yacht is a blissful experience, whilst the island’s bohemian markets are thought to rival those of its bigger sister, Ibiza. Take a day trip to Palma, Mallorca, and jump on the pretty vintage train which takes passengers through citrus and olive groves and aromatic and pine forests to the pretty town of Soller with its Art Nouveau architecture, boutiques, and restaurants.

These islands have been inhabited since Medieval times, and the footprint of each era can be seen throughout its many castles, villages, and fishing ports. The many bars and nightspots of Ibiza are complemented beautifully by its quirky cobbled medieval streets, secluded and chilled-out beaches, and some of the region’s most beautiful cathedrals.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the colorful Menorcan towns, winding streets will take you into quiet villages where locals live a traditional and unhurried lifestyle – and here is where you can feel the true soul of the Balearics.

The islands of Ibiza, Menorca, Mallorca, and Formentera lie within easy cruising distance of one another, meaning that you can sample the exquisite delights of each during your holiday in the Balearics. Charter yacht vacations in this region are typified by stunning anchorages, where the deep blue waters and white sands edged with palm trees will leave you feeling as if you’ve stepped into the scene of a picture postcard. The sheer cliffs of these islands form ‘calas’ – fjord-like inlets - which are not accessible by road but more than reachable by private yacht, where an afternoon can easily be spent swimming, snorkeling, lunching, and sunbathing in utter seclusion and peace.

The Balearics’ natural harbours are possibly the best in the world, and the region has become attractive to the many hundreds of yachts that can be seen glittering in the marinas and harbours of Mallorca and Formentera, as well as in the calm waters of Ibizan idylls such as Cala Portinatx. Charterers can be sure to return home with charter holiday memories of sun-drenched beaches, warm starry nights, and crystal clear waters full of darting silverfish.
