What’s Included in the Service
It begins at the marina, where everything is handled for you. The car door opens, bags disappear into the right cabin, and introductions to the skipper are made with the ease of a crew who’ve worked together for years. No chaos, no guessing what’s next—just a short walk along the pier, the sound of water against the hull, and the first breath of sea air.
Once you leave the harbor, the island changes. Hotels and promenades fade into the background; the coastline breaks into pale cliffs, pine trees, and quiet coves you can’t reach by chance. The skipper knows when the sea is calmest and where the late-afternoon light will fall. Your only decision: swim now, or enjoy another glass of something cold first.
Where We Start: Best Departure Marinas
- Puerto Portals (Portals Nous) — quick access from Palma and the airport, polished on-shore amenities, easy arrivals and departures.
- Port Adriano (El Toro) — super-yacht–friendly berths, modern quay, dining and shopping steps from the boat.
We usually suggest Puerto Portals for fast transfers and Port Adriano for larger day boats or when you want dinner and shopping after docking.
A Relaxed 4–5 Hour Route
- Marina pickup & safety brief — step on board, stow bags, quick route overview.
- Coastal cruise — pale-stone cliffs and glass-balustrade villas give way to sheltered coves.
- Swim & lunch stop — anchor on clean sand, table set to your taste, time for paddleboards and photos.
- Easy ride home — golden-hour glide back to the marina.
Seamless, Safe and Posidonia-Friendly
Mallorca protects its Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows. We never anchor on seagrass—only on sand or on regulated moorings. It’s better for the water and saves you from fines. If you’d like a nature-heavy day, we can also arrange a full-day run to Cabrera National Park on reserved mooring buoys.
What’s Typically Included
- US-style brief & trusted skipper focused on comfort, safety, and local nuance.
- Chilled beverages & light setup matched to your preferences (full catering on request).
- Towels, sunscreen station, snorkels, paddleboards (by boat).
- Concierge logistics: door-to-dock transfers, provisioning, restaurant holds, celebrations, and post-charter dinner reservations.
Best Time to Go
From spring through early fall, late morning to sunset brings calm seas and long light. For the glassiest water, we’ll aim for earlier departures and pick leeward coves on breezier days. On the day, we fine-tune the micro-itinerary around wind and swell.

Quick FAQs

Yes. Mallorca enforces Posidonia protections. We anchor on sand or use approved mooring buoys; in Cabrera, buoy bookings are required—we handle that for you.
