Where to sail in Mallorca?
- Cabrera: Cabrera is a group of islands and islets that have been protected as a maritime and terrestrial park since 1991. For this reason, you will need to obtain authorization from the park administration before you can sail there. Cabrera is free of any construction apart from the ruins of a 14th-century castle in the north of the island. The island's seabed is exceptional and particularly well preserved, making Cabrera a perfect spot for snorkeling.
- Menorca: Located north of Palma, you will love Menorca for its calm, far from the mass tourism present on the other Balearic Islands, and for its beaches stretching as far as the eye can see. Authentic and wild, Menorca is a unique island that was classified as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 1993. You can take a boat trip between Menorca and Mallorca, departing from Port Mahon, for example.
- The coves of Mallorca: There is something for everyone: coves of fine sand, pebble beaches... with the common point of translucent waters that have nothing to envy of the Caribbean. Contrary to what one might think, it is possible to find unspoiled and intimate beaches. To name but a few: Cala Agulla, Cala Rajada, Cala Mondrago, Es Trenc, Port de Pollença... Cap de Formentor in the north of the island is wilder and has a white sandy beach where you will easily find anchored boats.

Our advice for a successful yacht charter in Mallorca:
- Familiarize yourself with local regulations: Before embarking on your sailboat charter, make sure you are familiar with the regulations in force in the region in terms of navigation zones, anchorages or protected areas.
- Documents and formalities: If you are the skipper of the boat, make sure you have a boat license to present. In addition, we strongly advise you to take out damage waiver insurance even if you have a skipper: in the event of damage to the boat, you are directly responsible, and damage waiver protects you from any involuntary damage.
- The Port of Mallorca: located in the city of Palma, the Port of Mallorca is the largest and most modern port in the Balearic Islands. In addition to being a marina, it also hosts regattas such as the Copa del Rey and the Princesa Sofía Trophy. On site, you can take advantage of the following services: toilets, water, electricity, Wi-Fi, laundry, boat maintenance, surveillance, etc. This port has 200 berths.
