Mallorca is home to endless companies offering sailing yachts, motor yachts and speedboats of all different shapes and sizes. Part of an island chain spread over miles of open water, Mallorca offers an adventurous blue water sailing holiday for every fun lover sailors. Sailing on the isle gives you the freedom to discover coastal beauty, without the fuss of route planning. Living this experience, you can visit the busy fishing harbours of Andratx, Soller and Pollensa or get away from it, at the peaceful Cabrera Island Nature Reserve. The large bays of Alcudia and Pollensa on the north-east of the island provides safe anchorages and pretty harbours.

Families and less experienced crews can relax in the sheltered bays on the east coast with white sandy beaches, safe swimming areas and superb beach restaurants. The ideal time to be out on Mallorca’s water is between the months of April and October, although it is also possible to experience good calm weather in any season. The position of the Balearic islands is such that they create a ‘Mediterranean front’ so local winds are particularly favourable for yachting. Conditions are usually only bad when other weather fronts prevail which can happen during the winter months. Many yachts are based here in Mallorca all year around because of the warm Mediterranean climate. The coast receives an average of 300 days of sunshine per year with prevailing winds coming from the north-west so south-east regions tend to be warmer and drier. Sailing is more of a sport and operating a sailboat is a part of the experience with a sailing yacht. No matter whether you want to charter a motor or sailing yacht, a speed boat or a luxury mega yacht, discover the secrets of this majestic island in a unique way.
