From the cosmopolitan buzz of the capital, Palma de Mallorca to the pristine beaches of the east coast calas, the mountainous west coast, to the secluded bays of the north, a catamaran sailing charter in Mallorca has it all. Let's take a journey around Mallorca on to give you an idea what you might enjoy.

Palma's central La Seu is a delightful old town close to the main port. This is worth a wander before beginning your luxury yacht charter from Marina Port de Mallorca south and then west. Perhaps pause in Port Adriano or the fashionable Puerto Andratx on the SW corner, before heading north up the mountainous coast to the isolated Port de Soller, a town never defeated by Rome. Onward to the NW coast and the family resort of Puerto Pollensa, a vacation town undefeated by nightclubs and headline DJs.

Perhaps via a day or two in nearby Menorca, head to the NE point of Mallorca with the surfing sports town of Cala Rajada and an introduction to the pristine beaches of the east coast. Cala d'Or is very popular among charter boats thanks to its focus on water sports and golden beaches, while further south Porto Cristo and Porto Colom are great places to chill out. Before a little trip to the Cabrera Island group, it is worth popping by Cala Figuera on the SW point of Mallorca. Onward then, west back towards Palma with the noisy south coast resorts such as S'Arenal.

As you can see, from volume at 11 in clubs and bars to barely a whisper in a quiet anchorage or forgotten fishing port, a Majorca catamaran charter has nearly everything you could want from a luxury boat trip. Whether a day boat charter or a longer sailing vacation, a Balearic Island luxury yacht charter out of Majorca will have almost anything you could want.

With their local knowledge, even if you're an experienced sailor you can enjoy a perfect yacht charter vacation.

One of the advantages of a crewed yacht charter vacation is that you can go longer distances from the yacht charter base. The other Balearic islands of Ibiza, Formentera and Menorca are all within reach with the crew handling everything as you go.

As to you? You can just enjoy the breezes and views on your luxury yacht charter, or if you fancy learning a bit about sailing, help the captain or crew to get the boat from A-B.

Types of Catamarans Available For Rent Or Charter In Majorca:

Sailing Catamarans: Luxury catamarans are stable and spacious type of sailing boat, with quick sailing performance, and and have been gaining in popularity in recent years. Better for larger groups, they have lots of room for water toys, and are big enough for a little privacy. A catamaran charter luxury yacht is easy and comfortable for novices not used to heeling and are loved by families due to their extra space when compared to a monohull sailing yacht. Typically far more luxurious than a sailboat, the larger catamarans have en suite toilets and showers in the cabin as well as ample entertaining space in the saloon and on deck.

Power Catamarans: These motor yacht catamarans are relatively new but have also been gaining in popularity as the two hulls keep the motor boat more stable when compared to a monohull.

Catamaran Sailing Itineraries From Majorca

On your Majorca crewed catamaran boat rental or bareboat charter luxury charter you can explore Majorca itself or the wider Balearic Island archipelago on a longer trip. Here we suggest a 7 day sailing vacation and a 14 day yacht charter vacation on your charter boat:

7 days - South and East Coast of Majorca: On this trip you can take in the best of the beaches and resorts without doing many sea miles. Heading SE and then NE, you'll end up in the excellent and somewhat wild resort of Cala Ratjada as a northern point. On your way up and down, visit the Cabrera Island group just to the SE of Majorca, and then head north to Porto Cristo, Porto Colom, Cala d'Or with their golden beaches on the east coast and Cala Figuera on the SE point of the island. Return to base at Palma for handover.

14 days - Majorca and Menorca: This is a clockwise circuit of Majorca and a trip to the historic cities of Mahon and Ciutadella on Menorca. Perhaps from your base at Marina Port de Mallorca in Palma, head south and west to Port Adriano in Santa Ponsa with its beautiful beaches, or head on to Puerto Andratx with its renowned yachting vibe. Onward, up the north coast to the isolated west coast Port de Soller for a breather from the buzz and then round to the family resort of Puerto Pollensa on the north coast. From here, sail to the old capital of Menorca, Ciutadella before rounding the north of the island to Mahon, which the Brits made capital while using its large natural harbor for Royal Navy escapades in the Mediterranean. Back to Mallorca - this time to Cala Ratjada. Over the next few days sail down the east coast, spending time ashore at towns such as Cala d'Or with its pristine beaches and other towns like Porto Cristo and Porto Colom. Onto the SE coast where you can see what the fuss is about regarding Sa Rapita's beach (said to be the best on Majkorca) before returning to base at Palma.
