General info about Balearic Islands

Balearics (Balearic Islands) are popular destinations for sailors from the whole Europe and interest in this region is similar to the traditional holidays. It is very easy to come there, because Balearic Islands have very good flight connections with most of European cities. Most of Yachts are located next to Palma de Mallorca on Mallorca island. There are a few marinas in the capitol of Balearics. We have there more then 100 yachts available for charter, there are sailing yachts, motorboats and of course catamarans. Apart from Palma de Mallorca there ar emany boats available for charter in Ibiza Island in its capitol – Eivissa. Eivissa is famous for its greatest parties in Balearics, but also, for its most expensive marina Botafoch, where all Yachts for charter are based. The price of this marina is so high due to many celebrities having there their boats and not caring so much about the prices of berths.
In Menorca, in Mahon there is also a charter base, but it is not so popular and little boats are there. Menorca is not very well communicated with other European capitols and that is probably the reason of small charter fleet on this Island.

Sailing season

In Balearics season starts in the end of April when most of Yachts come from Canary Islands from winter season. They all should be in Balearic base before May, when the demand for bareboat charter strongly grows. Usually the middle season of rental lasts until end of June. In July and August, traditionally as in whole Europe, the highest season starts. In September there is still big interests in yachting in Balearics, but mostly come the experienced sailors who like wind and sailing on the wave. Last Chance to book a Yacht in Balearics is in October, because the the beginning of November all Yachts again prepare for departure for Canary Islands

What to see

Many tourists think that Balearics are only covered with beaches and sand. That is not true, visitors there can find really great architecture like wonderful Cathedral La Seu in Palma de Mallorca or High Town called Dalt Vila in Eivissa, which is listed on the UNESCO lists. When we are tired visiting cities, it is time to sail to national park in Cabrera Island with its famous bay Puerto de Cabrera. Please remember that entering this park is allowed only with special permission, which should be requested before the charter. If you are around Ibiza Island, you can always sail to Isla Espalmador. The Island is only 3 km long and if the water is low, you can go on foot to Formentera Island. If you want to anchor in really beautiful bay in Balearic Island – you must go to Sa Calobra bay, where high mountains go out directly from the water.

Compare yacht charter prices with Croatia

In general prices in Balearics are higher than prices in Croatia and Greece. They are on similar level than those in Italy, when of course we compare high season to high season. You can check the prices in Adriatic here: Yacht charter Croatia. In Balearics it is June, which is almost a high season, when the prices are not so high. When we compare prices of charter in Mallorca and Ibiza, the ranking for sure will point Mallorca as a cheaper base. For sure it is because of the competition, but also Ibiza itself has some kind of prestige, for which celebrities are willing to pay and sailors and charterers unfortunately a little suffer from that. But if you want to have fun in Ibiza – you must pay and forget about the prices. Because in Ibiza it is important “TO BE” there. Just one night in marina Botafach, just one day visiting Eivissa. To remember.
