Yacht Charter in Mallorca

Yacht Charter in Mallorca – Best of the Balearics

Peak summer in Mallorca is the pinnacle of Mediterranean yachting glamour. The largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands, Mallorca combines stunning natural beauty with world-class luxury, making it the destination for high-net-worth travelers seeking the ultimate yacht holiday. In fact, the island is a renowned hotspot for the glitterati of Europe and the world. Superyachts fill the marinas each summer – in 2023, two visiting billionaire-owned yachts alone represented $700 million worth of floating luxury in Palma’s bay. This illustrious scene shows Mallorca’s magnetic allure among the global elite. Yet whether you’re a first-time charter guest or a seasoned yacht aficionado, Mallorca offers an unforgettable cruising playground for all.

With over 200 beaches and countless hidden calas (coves) along its 555 km coastline, Mallorca truly is the “Best of the Balearics.” Turquoise-blue waters meet secret sandy bays backed by soaring mountains – a wildly diverse landscape ideal for exploration by private yacht. The UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana range provides a dramatic backdrop on the northwest coast, while the south and east feature golden strands and pine-fringed inlets. Chartering a yacht in Mallorca is genuinely the best way to experience the island’s beauty, granting you access to secluded spots unreachable by land and the freedom to cruise at your own pace. Importantly, a yacht offers exclusive privacy: even as Mallorca anticipates a record 12 million visitors in 2023 (with beaches packed well into October ), your crewed yacht serves as a tranquil oasis away from the crowds.

Mallorca’s nautical infrastructure is second to none. Palma de Mallorca, the capital, boasts one of Europe’s largest and most modern marinas, with full-service facilities for superyachts and motor yachts alike. Puerto Portals, just 10 km from Palma, is famed as “one of the most exclusive yachting marinas in Europe” – a prestigious harbor where luxury yachts berth amid designer boutiques and fine dining. Strolling its docks in summer, it’s not uncommon to spot celebrities such as Brad Pitt or Michael Douglas enjoying the scene. Port d’Andratx, another elite harbor on the southwest tip, is often hailed as “the most beautiful port in all of Europe” for its scenic bay dotted with villas and café-lined waterfront. These distinguished ports-of-call set Mallorca apart from other islands, blending nautical elegance with authentic Spanish charm.

Above all, a Mallorca yacht charter promises lavish comfort and bespoke service. On a crewed motor yacht (55′–99′) or a sumptuous superyacht (100′+), you’ll have a professional captain and crew attending to every detail – from gourmet meals to guided onshore excursions – so you can fully relax. Modern luxury yachts available through Boatcrowd come equipped with high-end amenities (stabilizers for smooth cruising, onboard jacuzzis, Jet Skis, and more) to rival five-star resorts. Imagine sunbathing on your private deck as the captain navigates to the next enchanting cove, or enjoying freshly prepared Mallorcan cuisine al fresco under the stars. It’s this combination of indulgence and adventure that makes a yacht charter in Mallorca so irresistible. The island truly offers something for everyone: vibrant nightlife and culture in port cities, tranquil turquoise anchorage for families to swim and snorkel, and romantic sunset vistas for couples.

For those who demand the very best summer travel experience, Mallorca delivers in spades. From the moment you step aboard your yacht, champagne in hand, you’ll understand why Mallorca is “a favorite Mediterranean destination… a hotspot for the glitterati”. It’s the Best of the Balearics – ready to be discovered on your terms.

Most Popular Day Charters in Mallorca

Not every yacht adventure has to span a week – a single day charter in Mallorca can be utterly rewarding. In fact, a private yacht charter in Mallorca for the day is the perfect way for first-timers and busy luxury travelers to sample the island’s highlights. With your own crewed yacht and bespoke itinerary, you can hop between Mallorca’s iconic locationsin just 8 hours, enjoying turquoise bays, seaside villages, and gourmet dining along the way. Below we explore a few of the most popular day charter routes, showcasing how you can make the most of a sunny day on the water.

Palma Bay & Puerto Portals – Urban Coastline in Style

Most day charters begin in Palma, where you’ll depart amid the postcard-perfect backdrop of the Palma Cathedral (La Seu) rising above the harbor. Cruising out of Palma Bay, you’ll witness why many charters start here: “Palma’s epic waterfront vista” offers an immediate wow-factor. After a leisurely sail past the elegant Paseo Marítimo and perhaps a peek at the mega-yachts moored in Palma’s marina, set course for nearby Puerto Portals – the glamourous marina enclave of the southwest.

Within 20–30 minutes, your yacht pulls into Puerto Portals, a port synonymous with luxury. This marina complex features chic cafés, upscale beach clubs, and designer shops lining the quay. It’s “one of the most exclusive yachting marinas in Europe”, where people-watching is a pastime in itself. Supercars gleam along the curb and impeccably dressed visitors linger at Michelin-starred restaurants overlooking the harbor. Many A-list celebrities have been spotted here over the years, drawn by the privacy of Puerto Portals and its refined leisure offerings. If you’re inclined, disembark for a stroll on the marina boulevard – perhaps enjoy a late-morning cappuccino or a bit of boutique shopping. In summer, Puerto Portals also hosts yachting events and regattas, so you might catch a glimpse of a classic sailing race or a luxury car show on the quay. The atmosphere is see-and-be-seen, which is all part of the fun.

Back on board, your crew might steer the yacht to a swim stop at a sheltered cove near Portals (there are two pretty beaches adjacent to the marina). Slip into the crystal-clear water for a refreshing swim or let the crew launch water toys like a Seabob or paddleboard for some playtime. The Bay of Palma area is known for its calm, warm waters in summer – ideal for families with kids or anyone looking to snorkel right off the yacht. All the while, the skyline of Palma with its Gothic cathedral and the distant Tramuntana mountains provides a stunning panorama.

By early afternoon, your yacht can cruise a bit further west along the coast to Illetes or Portals Vells (just beyond Magaluf) – both are gorgeous small bays with translucent water and beach clubs, often visited on day charters. Here you could indulge in a Mediterranean lunch on the aft deck, prepared by your private chef or catered from a renowned local restaurant. Savor fresh prawns, paella, and chilled Mallorcan wine as you soak up the sun. For those interested in a lively atmosphere, anchoring off Nikki Beach Mallorca (an exclusive beach club in Magaluf) is an option; its upbeat summer vibe with music is popular among younger charter guests. Alternatively, remain in a tranquil cove for a peaceful siesta on deck – the choice is yours on a private charter.

To cap off the day, a quick return cruise brings you back to Palma by late afternoon. There’s time for one more pass along Palma’s waterfront to admire the early evening light on La Seu Cathedral. You’ll dock with a new appreciation for Mallorca’s mix of culture and luxury – having experienced both the historic charm of Palma and the contemporary chic of Puerto Portals in just a few hours. This Palma–Portals day charter offers the perfect blend of city and sea, ideal for travelers who want a taste of Mallorcan lifestyle within a single, splendid day.

(For an even more exclusive experience, Boatcrowd can arrange VIP restaurant reservations or spa visits in Puerto Portals during your charter – inquire now to customize your day.)

Southwest Cruise – Cala Llamp & Port d’Andratx via Dragonera

If you’re eager to explore beyond Palma’s immediate surroundings, head further southwest to discover Mallorca’s most scenic and elite corners. This popular day charter route brings you from the glitzy marina of Portals to the wild beauty of Sa Dragonera island and the postcard harbor of Port d’Andratx – covering the highlights of the southwest coast in one unforgettable outing.

After departing Palma or Puerto Portals in the morning, set a course along the southwestern shoreline towards Cala Llamp and Port d’Andratx (about 20 nautical miles from Palma). En route, you’ll pass rugged cliffs and emerald bays. The first marquee stop is Isla Sa Dragonera, a narrow uninhabited island just off Mallorca’s west tip. Dragonera is a protected natural park known for its pristine waters and abundant marine life. Your captain will anchor in the lee of Dragonera (weather permitting), allowing you to dive into an underwater paradise – the island is surrounded by a no-fishing zone teeming with fish. Snorkelers often encounter colorful scorpionfish, shy barracudas, and even groups of bottlenose dolphins that sometimes play in the channel. The dramatic backdrop of Dragonera’s pine-studded slopes and its 19th-century lighthouse create a cinematic setting as you swim. For the adventurous, the crew can lead a short tender ride to one of Dragonera’s small coves, where a trail leads ashore – even a brief walk reveals “cheeky” wall lizards found nowhere else on earth basking on the rocks. This island truly feels untouched by time, thanks to conservation efforts that halted development here decades ago.

Back aboard, rinse off with the deck shower and enjoy a light snack as we cruise a few minutes east to Cala Llamp. This striking cove near Port d’Andratx has crystal-clear water in shades of sapphire and teal, set against a backdrop of rocky cliffs. Cala Llamp has no sandy beach, which keeps it blissfully crowd-free – instead, it’s home to the exclusive Gran Folies Beach Club, perched on the rocks. Many yacht day-trippers stop here for lunch or cocktails. You can choose to go ashore by tender and dine at Gran Folies (famous for its seafood and stunning infinity pool overlooking the bay), or remain on your yacht for a private lunch with the same gorgeous view. Either way, Cala Llamp offers a glamorous yet relaxing midday interlude. The cove’s snorkeling conditions are superb too: the water is usually calm and ultra-clear, perfect for spotting schools of small bream and octopus hiding among the rocks.

With afternoon stretching on, a short cruise around the headland brings you into Port d’Andratx, often cited as one of Europe’s most beautiful harbors. As you enter this picturesque port, you’ll see why the international jet-set have vacation villas here – rolling hills dotted with luxury estates encircle the azure bay, and elegant sailboats and motor yachts gently bob on moorings. “Magnificent villas” ring the hillsides and fresh seafood restaurants line the water’s edge, lending Port d’Andratx an air of upscale tranquility. You might dock here for an hour or two to explore: take a leisurely walk along the promenade, stop by an art gallery or boutique, or enjoy a gelato in the old fishing quarter. Unlike some flashier ports, Andratx retains an authentic charm beneath the luxury – you may see local fishermen mending nets on the quay even as superyacht tenders come and go.

Before heading back, consider a final toast anchored just outside the port at sunset. The sunset in Port d’Andratx is legendary, with the sun sinking behind Dragonera island on the horizon, painting the sky in hues of pink and gold. From the deck of your yacht or the comfort of Port d’Andratx’s waterfront cafes, it’s a moment of pure Mediterranean magic. As day turns to dusk, you’ll cruise back toward Palma (about 1 hour away by motor yacht), likely with a gentle evening breeze. This day charter route leaves you with vivid memories of Mallorca’s southwest: from snorkeling in Dragonera’s untouched reserve to sipping cava in one of the Med’s poshest harbors. It’s an ideal itinerary for those who want a mix of natural adventure and high society in one day.

Northwest Charms – Sa Foradada, Cala Deià & Port de Sóller

Mallorca’s northwestern coast offers a totally different day charter experience – one focused on dramatic scenery, culture, and tranquility. Here the Tramuntana mountain range plunges into the sea, creating sheer cliffs and hidden coves. A day charter to the NW lets you discover gems like Sa Foradada, Cala Deià, and Port de Sóller, which are otherwise hard to reach. This is a perfect choice for families seeking a relaxed outing or experienced charter guests who’ve “done” the south coast and crave something new.

Many NW charters begin at Port de Sóller, the only sheltered marina on the Tramuntana coast (accessible by car or a vintage train from Palma if you’re coming from the south). If you start in Port de Sóller, you’ll immediately appreciate the laid-back vibe: this harbor is a lovely horseshoe-shaped bay framed by mountains, with a quaint tram trundling along the shore. However, let’s assume your yacht is coming from Palma or the south – in that case, you’d cruise up the west coast in the morning, enjoying an exhilarating voyage around craggy Cap de Formentor and past ancient watchtowers perched on cliffs. Dolphins often play in the wake here. By late morning, you’ll approach Sa Foradada, one of Mallorca’s most celebrated anchorages.

Sa Foradada is a rocky peninsula with a famous round hole (“foradada”) pierced through it, creating a natural archway in the rock. This unique formation is a landmark visible from miles away. Up close from your yacht, it’s even more impressive – and the small bay just behind Sa Foradada is “one of the most beautiful anchorages in the Balearic Islands… especially at sunset”. Here you’ll anchor in about 5–8 m of water over sand and Posidonia seagrass. The setting is utterly serene: towering pine-clad cliffs of the Tramuntana range all around, the only sounds being cicadas and gentle waves. You can swim or snorkel (the water is clear, though the seabed is rocky) or take the tender ashore. A winding stone staircase on shore leads up to Restaurante Sa Foradada, a rustic open-air eatery famous for wood-fired paella. If you’re a foodie, having lunch at this “cliffside paella haven” is a must – it’s an authentic taste of Mallorca, enjoyed with breathtaking sea views. (Your captain can call ahead to reserve a table; otherwise, the crew can serve lunch on deck while you admire Sa Foradada’s magnificent scenery.)

After savoring this tranquil spot, the yacht can move just a short distance to Cala Deià, another jewel of the north coast. Cala Deià is a tiny cove near the artists’ village of Deià, known for its bohemian heritage (it was beloved by English poet Robert Graves and today by celebrities seeking low-key luxury). The cove itself has pebbly shores and emerald water, great for a refreshing swim. Two rustic beach restaurants (Ca’s Patró March being one) sit on the rocks – perhaps you’ll stop for a quick drink or simply enjoy the view of local Mallorcan families diving from the rocks. Above you, perched on the hillside, you might spot elegant estates owned by the rich and famous who cherish Deià’s privacy. The atmosphere here is peaceful and culturally rich – a nice contrast to the bustling glamour of the south.

In the mid-afternoon, a short cruise (around the dramatic Sa Foradada point) brings you into Port de Sóller. As your yacht enters this circular bay, you’ll feel transported to a different era. The harbor is enclosed by mountains and has a quaint village vibe – fishing boats bob next to yachts, and a promenade lined with ice-cream parlors and tapas bars curves along the sandy beach. Many consider Sóller the perfect chill end to a day charter. You can dock or moor here and take the tender in. Perhaps ride the vintage tram that shuttles from the port to Sóller town (a fun activity for kids and adults alike), or simply wander the marina. Sóller is famed for its citrus groves – don’t miss trying a freshly squeezed orange juice or local orange sorbet. History buffs might visit the 19th-century Santa Caterina sea fort at the harbor mouth, while shoppers can browse artisan shops for olive oil or ceramics.

As late afternoon turns to early evening, you have a choice: some charters choose to linger in Port de Sóller for a gorgeous sunset (the sun sets over the sea here, casting reflections on the bay), then transport guests back to Palma by road. Others will depart Sóller in time to cruise back down to Palma by dusk. If you do cruise back, you’ll witness the entire Tramuntana coastline in the glow of golden hour – a sight few get to see from the water. They say the best sunsets are seen from Sa Foradada, and it’s true that as you pass that spot again, the sky often ignites in fiery oranges and purples. With the Serra de Tramuntana now silhouetted against the twilight, you’ll arrive back at port with a deep appreciation for Mallorca’s wild side.

This NW day charter is all about scenic beauty and authenticity – perfect for travelers who value nature and culture. It’s less about partying, more about connecting with Mallorca’s soul. And with a private yacht, you can do it in ultimate comfort, far from any tour buses or crowded lookouts. One could spend days exploring this coast, but even in just one day you’ll have seen a UNESCO World Heritage seascape up close, swum beneath cliffs, dined on paella with a view, and discovered charming Sóller. It’s a day to remember, and Boatcrowd’s experienced local crews ensure you find the secret coves and best vistas that only insiders know – turning a simple day out into a truly extraordinary journey.

3-Day Yacht Charter Mallorca – Sample Itinerary

For a more immersive escape, consider a 3-day private yacht charter around Mallorca. In three days (two nights aboard), you can experience a taste of everything – from the bustling sophistication of Palma to the tranquil beauty of remote calas – without feeling rushed. The following is a sample 3-day itinerary crafted by Boatcrowd’s experts, showcasing an ideal route for a long weekend charter. It’s tailored for the peak summer season, when the weather is warm, the waters inviting, and Mallorca’s coastal towns are buzzing with life. This itinerary focuses on the southwest and northwestern coasts (Palma to Sóller) to maximize your time enjoying destinations rather than in transit. Of course, every itinerary is bespoke – you can inquire now to customize it – but let this be an inspiration for your Mallorcan yachting adventure.

Day 1: Palma to Port d’Andratx (via Puerto Portals & Cala Llamp)

Morning – Departing Palma: Your journey begins at the Palma charter base where you’re welcomed aboard your luxury yacht by the captain and crew. After a safety briefing and a round of mimosas, the lines are cast off. As you cruise out of Palma’s marina, take in the view of the Almudaina Palace and the 13th-century Cathedral gleaming in the morning sun – a sight even more impressive from the sea. Palma’s 800-year-old skyline fading behind you sets a grand tone for the voyage ahead. The plan today is to hug Mallorca’s southwest coast, sampling both a chic marina and a secluded bay before reaching Port d’Andratx by evening.

Late Morning – Puerto Portals: In under an hour, arrive at Puerto Portals, the St. Tropez of Mallorca. Drop anchor just outside the harbor or pull into a guest berth for a short visit. Your crew has arranged a brief stop so you can experience this famed marina. Step ashore to find designer boutiques and luxury car showrooms, or enjoy a specialty coffee at one of the open-air lounges. The vibe is upscale yet relaxed – superyachts line the docks, and you might catch a glimpse of a familiar famous face enjoying a low-key holiday. (It’s noted that Bill Gates and Jim Carrey have strolled these very docksin summers past.) Take a moment to soak in the scene: Puerto Portals exudes modern Mediterranean luxury, with its white-and-blue marina décor and neatly tended promenades. If you’re inclined, this is a great opportunity to pick up any last-minute luxury provisions – perhaps some artisanal Mallorcan olive oil or a designer beachwear item you fancy.

Before noon, you’re back on the yacht, where a refreshing spread of fruits and appetizers awaits on deck. As the yacht gets underway again, Puerto Portals’ glitz fades into the distance, and the coastline becomes more rugged and natural. The crew might point out landmarks like the Illetes beaches or the posh villas of Portals Nous on the hills. The water turns a brilliant azure as you approach the next highlight: Cala Llamp.

Midday – Cala Llamp Lunch & Swim: By early afternoon, your captain anchors in Cala Llamp, just south of Port d’Andratx. The crew has timed it perfectly for lunch with a view. Cala Llamp’s setting is spectacular – a horseshoe bay of rocky ledges and unbelievably clear water that almost glows aquamarine. You have two enticing options here: remain onboard for a gourmet lunch prepared by the chef (perhaps a spread of Mediterranean mezze, fresh-grilled fish, and local rosé), or head to shore via tender to dine at Gran Folies Beach Club. Gran Folies is an upscale venue carved into the cliffs, featuring a saltwater pool and restaurant. Many charter guests opt for the shore lunch to enjoy the lively ambience; the chef’s seafood paella here is reputed to be among the best on the island. Plus, from the restaurant’s terrace you can gaze right back at your beautiful yacht anchored in the bay – a pinch-me moment of your day. Meanwhile, any kids or adventurous adults in your group can take advantage of the yacht’s water toys after lunch: Cala Llamp’s calm waters are great for snorkeling and trying a SeaDoo scooter or simply floating with a cocktail in hand.

By mid-afternoon, everyone is happily sated and refreshed. The crew weighs anchor and the yacht cruises a short distance – basically around the next headland – to Sa Dragonera island. Given the proximity to Cala Llamp, you have time for a brief exploration of Dragonera if desired (especially if you skipped a big shore lunch). Perhaps your yacht will do a slow scenic cruise along Dragonera’s coast, allowing you to snap photos of its protected Natural Park cliffs and the historic lighthouse perched at Cap de Llebeig. The captain shares the lore of how Dragonera got its name (from its dragon-like shape and the endemic lizards). If you’re keen to jump back in the water, the crew can stop at a cove where snorkeling reveals rich marine fauna – Dragonera’s no-fishing status means “the island’s subaquatic treasure chest shimmers with life”. It’s a snorkeling paradise if time permits.

Evening – Port d’Andratx: As the sun begins to soften, your yacht enters Port d’Andratx to berth for the night. The approach is unforgettable: you glide between two rocky breakwaters into a harbor ringed by pastel-hued buildings and green hills. Luxury yachts are moored alongside colorful local fishing llaüts – a charming juxtaposition. Once secured at the dock, you have the evening free to enjoy this elegant port town. We recommend a sunset drink on the top deck as golden hour light hits the water. From your berth, you might see the outline of Dragonera in the distance, silhouetted by the setting sun – a view that confirms Day 1’s adventures.

On shore, Port d’Andratx offers a range of upscale yet cozy options. Stroll the promenade as dusk falls; bougainvillea drapes over whitewashed walls and the scent of sea salt mingles with that of grilling seafood from tavernas. Dine at a waterfront restaurant like Villa Italia (a boutique hotel/restaurant in a converted mansion) or Oliu for contemporary Mallorcan cuisine. As you savor a fine meal, perhaps of locally caught John Dory or a tasting menu of Balearic specialties, relish the fact that just this morning you were in Palma and now you’re in this tranquil cove town – it feels worlds apart.

After dinner, you might take a leisurely walk to see some of Andratx’s art galleries or luxury boutiques (some stay open late in summer). Or simply return to the yacht for a movie under the stars on the sundeck. The yacht’s gentle sway will lull you into relaxation. Overnight, the yacht remains in Port d’Andratx’s calm harbor. Surrounded by the twinkling lights of hillside villas, you’ll enjoy a restful sleep in your plush cabin – ready for more exploration tomorrow. (If you’re an early riser, don’t miss the dawn view: the sunrise over Andratx’s harbor, with fishermen heading out to sea, is quietly spectacular.)

Day 2: Port d’Andratx to Port de Sóller (Tramuntana Coast Adventure)

Morning – Coastal Cruising & Dragonera: Awake to a beautiful summer morning in Port d’Andratx. Enjoy breakfast on the aft deck – perhaps a spread of ensaïmadas (Mallorcan pastries), fresh fruit, and coffee – as the marina comes to life. Today’s voyage will take you up Mallorca’s west coast, along the base of the Tramuntana Mountains, to reach Port de Sóller by evening. This is a day of dramatic scenery and idyllic pit-stops.

Before leaving the Andratx area, you have the chance for one more rendezvous with Sa Dragonera (especially if yesterday there wasn’t time for a full visit). It’s only a 15-minute hop from the port to Dragonera’s marine reserve. This morning light is great for spotting wildlife – keep an eye out for Eleonora’s falcons that nest on the cliffs (they’re often seen soaring above). If you didn’t snorkel here yesterday, the crew can lead a quick snorkel session in Dragonera’s clearest cove, or take you by tender to peek into the sea caves on the island’s north side. It’s a refreshing start to the day’s journey, and you’ll depart Dragonera knowing you’ve truly experienced one of Mallorca’s natural treasures.

Midday – Coastline Highlights & Sa Foradada: After Dragonera, the yacht steams northward. Settle into a comfy deck chair or the flybridge – as we round Mallorca’s southwest corner (Cape ***), you’ll have a front-row view of the UNESCO-listed Tramuntana range unfolding. Jagged grey mountains plunge into the cobalt sea, and tiny stone villages are visible high above in the folds of the hills. This stretch is what many call “the real Mallorca,” largely inaccessible except by boat or winding mountain roads. You may pass the famous viewpoint of Mirador de Sa Foradada (where tourists on land gaze down at your yacht with envy!). By late morning or midday, you arrive at Sa Foradada itself – but this time from the sea side. Drop anchor as close as safely possible to the rocky outcrop. In daylight, you can fully appreciate the namesake “hole” in the rock – it’s like a giant window through the cliff, perfectly round and framing the blue sky beyond.

Since this is Day 2, you have time to savor Sa Foradada at leisure. Perhaps you’ll swim to shore and climb the short path up to the rustic restaurant for lunch (if you didn’t yesterday). There’s nothing quite like the aroma of paella cooking over a wood fire at Sa Foradada – it’s a Mallorca legend. If you prefer to avoid the shore crowds (it’s a popular spot even for hikers and boat trips), your chef can replicate a similar meal on board. Either way, lunch at anchor off Sa Foradada is a highlight: you’re surrounded by awe-inspiring scenery, bobbing gently in pure peace. As you dine, look towards the sheer cliffs of the Sierra de Tramuntana – this perspective, seeing mountains tower over the sea, truly validates why exploring by yacht is so special.

After lunch, take some time to relax. Perhaps siesta on deck or enjoy the jacuzzi (if your yacht has one) with Sa Foradada in view. When ready, the journey continues northeast. A short hop brings you to Cala Deià for an afternoon dip. Drop anchor in this snug cove (it’s small, so your captain expertly positions the yacht). The afternoon sun filters into the cove, illuminating the water in emerald tones. You could snorkel to spot fish among the rocks or just float and admire the scene – the stone fishermen’s cottages ashore and maybe a few kayakers who’ve ventured from Deià village. This stop is intentionally relaxed – a chance to bask in a true Mallorcan cala without rush.

Late Afternoon – Arriving Port de Sóller: By 4 pm or so, it’s time to make our way to Port de Sóller, your destination for the day. The approach to Sóller from the south is grand: you pass the prominent Sa Illeta rock (a small islet) then the two lighthouses marking the entrance of Sóller’s bay. Cruising into Port de Sóller feels like entering a hidden harbor from a storybook. Mountains wrap protectively around the bay, and the water inside is usually calm like a lagoon. Your yacht either docks at the marina or anchors out in the bay (depending on berth availability and your preference).

Once settled, you have the evening in Port de Sóller. This is a fantastic place to unwind after two days of exploration. The town has a gentle, family-friendly atmosphere. If you’re interested in a bit of land adventure, take the historic Tramvia de Sóller – the open-air tram – from the port into Sóller town (about a 20-minute scenic ride through orange groves). In the town’s main square, you can visit the beautiful Sant Bartomeu Church and enjoy artisan ice cream at Fet a Sóller, a local favorite. Alternatively, stay by the water: Port de Sóller’s promenade is lined with inviting restaurants. One top recommendation is Kingfisher Restaurant, known for its seafood and harbor views, or Es Passeig for a creative take on Mallorcan cuisine. As dusk falls, the harbor lights reflect on the water, and you might hear the distant sound of the vintage tram bell or live music from a café.

Back on board, your crew has prepared the yacht for a comfortable second night. Perhaps enjoy a nightcap on the flybridge – the sky above is brilliant with stars, especially since Sóller has minimal light pollution compared to Palma. You’ve now experienced both the sophisticated south and the serene north of Mallorca’s coast. As you turn in, you’ll likely dream of the turquoise bays and dramatic cliffs you’ve seen – and anticipate tomorrow’s final leg of the journey.

Day 3: Port de Sóller to Palma (via Valldemossa Coast & Return)

Morning – Sóller to Valldemossa Coast: Begin your final day with a quiet morning in Port de Sóller. Perhaps take a swim off the yacht before departure – the bay is usually mirror-calm at daybreak, perfect for a few gentle laps in the stillness. After a hearty breakfast, it’s anchors aweigh for the journey back towards Palma. Rather than retracing the exact route, your captain charts a slightly different course, giving you new sights on the way south.

First, cruise by the Valldemossa coast. Just south of Sóller lies the coastal area below the village of Valldemossa (the village itself is perched high in the mountains). The yacht will pass Cala s’Estaca and Cala Deià once more, then point out a notable spot: the tiny harbor of Port de Valldemossa (also called Sa Marina de Valldemossa). This is a secluded rocky inlet with a few boathouses – a hidden gem rarely reached except by local boats. If the weather is favorable and you’re making good time, you could opt to stop here for a short exploration. It’s an off-the-beaten-path cove that really gives a sense of old Mallorca – time seems to slow down amid the craggy rocks and pristine water. Adventurous guests can take the tender to the little jetty and see the old fishermen’s huts up close, or hike a few minutes up a path for a splendid view of your yacht from above.

As the yacht continues, the towering Puig Major (Mallorca’s highest peak at 1,445 m) and other summits start to recede. You are leaving the wild Tramuntana behind. By late morning, the coastline gentles into softer hills. Now is a great time for the crew to pamper you with on-board amenities – perhaps a relaxing massage on deck (if a therapist was arranged as part of your charter concierge services) or simply lounge on the sunpads with a book.

Midday – Swim Stop at Camp de Mar: For one last dip in the Med, your captain pulls into Camp de Mar, a lovely bay on the southwest coast (near Paguera) that you passed on Day 1 but didn’t visit. Camp de Mar is known for its pretty sandy beach and an iconic little restaurant on an islet connected by a footbridge. It’s a delightful, sheltered spot to anchor for lunch. Enjoy your final al fresco meal on board – the chef might prepare a casual beach barbecue style lunch: grilled prawns, gourmet sandwiches, and a crisp salad, paired with a chilled white wine from Mallorca’s vineyards. The water here is warm and shallow, inviting you for one more swim. You can snorkel around the rocky edges of the bay where fish congregate, or swim ashore to feel the sand between your toes. If you haven’t already, this is the time to use any remaining water toys – one more spin on the Jet Ski or a fun tubing ride for the kids, creating those last-day thrills.

Afternoon – Return to Palma & Farewell: In the mid-afternoon, it’s time to make the final leg back to Palma. It’s a short cruise of roughly an hour from Camp de Mar around Cape Cala Figuera and into the Bay of Palma. As the familiar outline of Palma’s cathedral and the Bellver Castle come into view, reflect on how much you’ve experienced in just three days. From the celebrity-favored marinas and beach clubs of Day 1 to the unspoiled calas and villages of Day 2, and the leisurely capstone of Day 3, you’ve truly savored Mallorca’s diversity. The yacht glides back into its Palma berth by late afternoon. The crew handles the docking with practiced ease.

Now comes the fond farewell. The crew assists you with luggage and any purchases you made along the way (that case of Mallorcan wine or those handmade souvenirs from Sóller). You exchange heartfelt goodbyes – in a short time the crew have become like family, having catered to your every need with professionalism and warmth. Before you disembark, the captain presents you with a custom chart of your route marked with the spots you visited (a lovely keepsake offered by Boatcrowd for multi-day charters), and perhaps the stewardess hands out small jars of local sea salt as parting gifts.

Stepping onto the dock, you might feel a tinge of reluctance – it’s hard to leave your floating paradise. But the memories you’ve made will surely beckon you back to Mallorca’s seas. In just three days, you’ve cruised approximately 80 nautical miles, visited eight distinct locales, and experienced the island from a perspective few ever do. This 3-day itinerary showcased Mallorca’s glamorous ports, secluded nature reserves, cultural havens, and leisure hotspots – all seamlessly woven together by the comfort of your private yacht.
