Yacht Charter Spain
A yacht charter in Spain traces two of the Mediterranean’s most compelling coastlines – the pine-backed calas of the Balearic Islands and the sun-drenched glamour of Andalucía’s Costa del Sol – delivering a breadth of cruising that ranges from secluded turquoise bays to vibrant superyacht harbours in a single week. Mallorca’s jagged Serra de Tramuntana plunges into water the colour of liquid jade, Ibiza’s west-coast sunsets need no filter, and Marbella’s Puerto Banús remains one of southern Europe’s most electric waterfront scenes. Boatcrowd’s Spanish fleet numbers over 120 vessels, including modern motor yachts from 68’ to 98’, superyachts above 100’, and luxury catamarans from 55’ upwards – with scores of additional yachts crossing from the French Riviera, Sardinia, and beyond each summer.
Peak season runs from late June through August, when the Balearics buzz with charter traffic; May, early June, September, and October offer softer rates, emptier anchorages, and reliably warm seas still perfect for swimming. Charter rates in Spain start from €4,000 per day on a luxury catamaran, from €4,700 per day on a 68’–78’ motor yacht, from €8,900 per day on a latest-model 88’–99’ yacht, and from €12,300 per day aboard a superyacht above 100’, plus Spanish IVA 20% and APA. No other western Mediterranean country pairs Balearic island-hopping with mainland coastal glamour quite so effortlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a yacht charter in Spain?
For peak season – July and August – book at least six to nine months ahead, especially for superyachts and popular Balearic itineraries departing from Palma de Mallorca. Shoulder-season charters in May, June, or September can often be confirmed three to four months out, and occasionally at shorter notice when cancellations free up sought-after vessels.
What is included in the charter price?
The base charter fee covers the yacht, professional crew, insurance, and use of onboard amenities including water toys and tender. Fuel, provisioning, port fees, and crew gratuity are paid separately through the Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA), which is typically 25–35% of the charter fee and settled before your departure date.
What is the APA for a Spanish yacht charter?
The Advance Provisioning Allowance for charters in Spain is usually 25–30% of the base charter fee. It covers fuel, food, beverages, marina fees, and other running costs during your voyage. Your captain keeps a full accounting of all expenditure, and any unspent balance is refunded promptly at the end of the charter.
What is the difference between high season and low season pricing in Spain?
High season (July–August) commands premium rates – often 20–40% above shoulder-season pricing. May, June, September, and October offer lower charter fees, fewer crowds, and reliably warm sailing conditions across both the Balearics and the Costa del Sol, making them outstanding value for experienced and first-time charterers alike.
