Spain

BALEARIC ISLANDS

Spain

Chartering a private yacht along the Spanish coast is an unmatched way to experience the Mediterranean at its most varied — from the sheltered calas of Mallorca to the pine-fringed harbours of the Balearics. It’s freedom, history, and effortless luxury combined into one tailor-made journey.

The destination

Spain’s Mediterranean coastline and the Balearic Islands offer some of the most rewarding cruising grounds in Europe — a blend of laid-back calas, dramatic cliffs, and storied ports shaped by centuries of sailing tradition. Chartered privately, a week in these waters unfolds at your own pace: anchoring in the crystalline coves of Mallorca’s south coast, gliding past the protected bays of Cabrera National Park, exploring the elegant old quarter of Palma by day, and dining at a candlelit quayside taverna by night. With a private crew attending to every detail onboard, the rhythm of Spain’s coast reveals itself quietly — sunlit swims, long lunches on deck, and sunsets over the Tramontana mountains.

The Journey

Sample itinerary

Day 1 in Arrive in Palma
Day 1 — Saturday

Arrive in Palma

Once you've flown in to Palma, you can check in to your yacht, and get familiar with your holiday surroundings, before heading out to explore the ancient cobbled streets and dramatic Gothic architecture that characterises the landscape. Wander the winding streets and grab some tapas in one of the city's many bars and restaurants.

Day 2 in Palma to Camp del Mar
Day 2 — Sunday

Palma to Camp del Mar

Head west out of Palma for a trip around the headland and away from the hustle and bustle of Palma and Magaluf for the relative peace of Camp Del Mar. Drop anchor in turquoise water, surrounded by mountains and a small rocky islet with a great restaurant.

Day 3 in Camp del Mar to Cala Pi
Day 3 — Monday

Camp del Mar to Cala Pi

Today, you’ll turn back to the east and reach across the south coast to the Cala Pi, a spectacular, fjord-like rocky creek where the pine forest goes down to the sea. The bay, carved into a sheer cliffs, is narrow and can be crowded during peak times. The bottom is sand and seagrass in 3-4m – take a line ashore.

Day 4 in Cala Pi to Porto Colom
Day 4 — Tuesday

Cala Pi to Porto Colom

One of the longer sailing days, the next leg will take you north along the east coast to the village of Porto Colom. The natural harbour is well sheltered, with a scattering of mooring buoys on the left as you enter.

Day 5 in Porto Colom to Cala Figuera
Day 5 — Wednesday

Porto Colom to Cala Figuera

A laid-back 9nm sail takes you from Porto Colom to the almost-untouched Cala Figuerara. Stop off for lunch and a swim at one of the many sandy beaches and calas along the way, from Cala Mondrago to Cala D’Or.

Day 6 in Cala Figuera to Cabrera National Park
Day 6 — Thursday

Cala Figuera to Cabrera National Park

Cross 16nm almost due south from Cala Figuera to the jaw-droppingly beautiful Cabrera National Park. An uninhabited island, Cabrera National Park is an almost untouched oasis just a stone’s throw away from Mallorca. Rich in natural life as well as beauty, this is the perfect stop to get away from the hustle and bustle of the bigger islands. On the way south, why not nip into the secluded Cala s’Almunia for a quick swim?

Day 7 in Cabrera National Park to Palma
Day 7 — Friday

Cabrera National Park to Palma

Time for one final sail back to base. On the way back to Palma, make sure to stop off at Sa Rapita for a last lingering lunch and a swim. Home to one of the best beaches in the Balearics, Es Trenc, 2km of gorgeous white sand, Sa Rapita makes a brilliant place to stop over and soak up the best of Mallorca on the way back.
