Yacht Vacation in Mallorca - Discover Mallorca on a Yacht Charter

Yacht vacation in Mallorca

Mallorca belongs to a chain of islands that stretches for miles across the sea. The most popular island has a great deal to offer for an exciting sailing vacation. Most of Mallorca's harbors are on the southern side of the island. The high mountain range, the Serra de Tramontana, shelters the south of the island.

Sailors seeking relaxation and nature can discover the island's natural side in the calm weather conditions along the north coast. The list of sights and excursion destinations you can visit on a charter vacation is long. Far in the southeast lie the Cabrera Islands, which offer unforgettable experiences. In the southwest of the islands is the national park of the Cabrera Archipelago. This group of islands is home to spectacular seagrass meadows. The area is made for a diving adventure. There is plenty to see – sugar perch, squid, turtles and, with a little luck, even dolphins. Afterward, a detour to the west coast is worthwhile, where the island is dominated by Isla Dragonera. This unique spot is best explored from the deck of the yacht.

A famous meeting point for gourmets and promenade strollers is Port de Sóller. Because of the high mountains surrounding the area, the sea route is the only way to the outside world. From here, oranges and olive oil are shipped all over the world. The combination of strolling and racing across the waves makes the outing a one-of-a-kind experience.

When Is the Best Time to Go?

In principle, the island invites visitors all year round. But experience shows that the months up to March aren't particularly suitable. At that time of year the water is cold and the sea is unpleasant. The most pleasant time is spring, as nature wakes up from its winter sleep and it's still not too hot. On top of that, Mallorca isn't overcrowded in spring. A lovely time for a charter trip begins at the end of September and runs until the end of October. At that time prices are affordable again and the water is pleasantly warm, making it ideal for a yacht vacation in Mallorca.
