Yacht Charter Balearic Islands

Yacht Charter Balearic Islands

There are 61 harbours with about 20.000 mooring lots in the Balearics; over 70 Yacht Charter companies offer sailing – and motor yachts of all makes and sizes. The latest yacht types are usually introduced in the Balearics into the charter service. The Balearic Islands of Majorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera feature very different aspects. Altogether there are about 550 nautical miles of extremely divers coastal line on the Balearics. This is not counting the additional islands of Dragonera and the Cabrera Archipelago.

Majorca is famous for its great mix of bays, marinas, multifaceted and different landscapes, culinary delights and culture – and for its vivid yachting scene, that extends far above the charter area and has attracted yacht owners from all over the world. The ones in search of solitude should sail to the slightly rougher sister island of Menorca, whereas Ibiza is known as the embodiment of party culture and shows its closeness to Africa with its white Ibizan architecture. The flat island of Formentera houses only one harbour among its dunes, but also some idyllic anchor bays and beaches that have owned her the nickname Caribbean of the Mediterranean Sea. Between Ibiza and Formentera, you’ll find the Archipelago of Espalmador, which is known also as the Pitius Islands. The great bay Puerto de Espalmador is a popular anchorage ground among many sail and motor yachtsmen.

As a general rule the anchoring ban on the Balearics is being extended to protect the sea grass meadows but large buoy fields make up for it. The climate is temperately subtropical, the sailing season lasts for almost the whole of the year but the months between April and November are mostly relevant for Yacht Charter tourism. For the ones interested in circumnavigating islands: due to the prevailing wind direction it is advisable to round Majorca counter clockwise; Menorca on the other hand is rounded easier in a clockwise direction.
