Yacht Charter Port de Pollenca

On a Port de Pollenca yacht charter with Borrow a Boat you can explore much of Mallorca and the Balearic Islands within an easy sail. Whatever you want from a Balearic Island yacht charter, from its beautiful beaches to its fantastic culture, a Port de Pollenca sailing holiday is going to be an unforgettable experience.

Puerto de Pollensa is a family oriented holiday town on the relatively quiet northern side of Majorca, around an hour from the airport by bus. Though it has an illustrious history, over the years it has become an important holiday resort with its beautiful beach, marina and port. Mallorca has a reputation for attracting the 18-30 crowd with wild nightlife and a 24/7 experience. Like its neighbour Alcudia to the east, Port de Pollenca doesn't try for that crowd. There are still lots some very good bars and restaurants you can relax and soak up the atmosphere.

The holiday resort is around 3km from the old town of Pollensa, a town that has been inhabited and dominated by a range of Mediterranean empires for close on 3,000 years. Both towns are administered by the local government here, and the culture vulture will love things like the 1900 year old bridge left by the Romans, the Arab-built irrigation systems that made farming possible and a range of Christian churches and monuments. For those who bring their walking boots, a trek up the 330m high Puig (mountain) is definitely to be recommended.

So, on your Port de Pollenca yacht charter, what else is there to see or do? Read on to find out more!

Explore Port de Pollenca By Renting A Yacht

On a Puerto Pollensa yacht charter you can explore the coastline of the biggest island in the Balearics or do a bit of island hopping. Majorca has a lot to offer and is moving away from its cheap holiday image as more attractions are recognised and invested in. You can go hiking in Mondrago National Park, and enjoy a bit of the 14km long Alcudiasandy beach all to yourself.

White sandy beaches are one of the biggest draws to Majorca, and on your sailing holiday you will be able to get to a sandy beach or two that can't be accessed from shore.

Cala d'Or, close to Portocolom on the SE coast of Mallorca is in direct translation 'the Golden Bay' - a yachty heaven of golden beaches and great natural wealth. This is a holiday resort but not one where you will find lobster red Brits in Union Jack shorts! Far more relaxed and family oriented, it is worthy of an afternoon's enjoyment as you explore the island.

Around 60km south from Pollensa as a crow flies is the capital of the Balearics, Palma de Mallorca. This is a cosmopolitan city that many say is at least as good as Barcelona with its sophisticated style, great shopping and top end restaurants.

Less than a day's sail away to the west is the hippy island of Ibiza and neigbouring Formentera with your choice of secluded coves, riotous partying and beautiful beaches and an alternative culture that rivals Glastonbury or San Francisco. Out to the northeast from Puerto Pollensa you can explore Menorca that has much the same on offer as Majorca but in microcosm.

Best Times To Hire A Yacht In Port de Pollenca

The sailing season in the Balearic Islands is best from May to October. The major party towns heat up to full frenzy in June to August, and so do the prices. It is very much down to what you want from a sailing holiday in the islands - if partying all night is on the cards, the top DJs will hit the region in that time and you will have quite a memorable time. If the quiet life is what you seek, then do try to get out during term time - the sea is still warm in September and October, though the infamous Tramontana starts to be more frequent at this time of year, as it eases off in early May.

Sailing Weather In Port de Pollenca

The NE breeze common to coastal Mediterranean France dominates Majorca, a cool relief from the summer heat. It never really gets above 17 knots or so so there will be some boisterous sailing but never more than is fun. You will see more precipitation towards the beginning and end of the sailing season (May and October) but the temperatures rarely stray below 15-17 degrees during those times. In the height of summer (July/August) it isn't as hot as mainland Spain, though you will see the odd few days in the 30+ C range. For Northern Europeans and those from other cooler climes this makes for fantastic sailing!
