Balearics Charter Itinerary

Balearics Itinerary

Balearics Yacht Charter
The Balearics are four islands with four temperaments. Mallorca has the mountains and the cathedral; Ibiza has the reputation and, quietly, some of the best coastline; Formentera has the sand; Menorca has been left largely alone.





They sit close enough to take all four in a week, which is unusual and worth doing ’ the contrast is the point. The passages are short, the anchorages good, and the sea breeze reliable enough to plan around.





Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read the Balearics; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Palma

Palma is a proper city, and its cathedral ’ La Seu ’ stands directly above the water with a rose window the size of a house and a Gaudí canopy inside. Walk the old town, eat in the lanes behind it, and board in the afternoon. Leave the bay as the light drops behind the Tramuntana.

Day 2

Ibiza Town

Cross to Ibiza and take the Dalt Vila, the walled upper town, a UNESCO site of Renaissance ramparts and narrow climbing streets. Whatever the island’s reputation, this is a serious piece of history. The marina below is where the reputation lives. Both are true, and an evening ashore can accommodate either.

Day 3

Formentera

Formentera has no airport, which explains everything. Anchor off Ses Illetes, a spit of sand between two seas, and swim in water that is genuinely transparent over posidonia meadows ’ a protected seagrass, and the reason for the clarity. Lunch ashore, feet in the sand. Do not plan the afternoon.

Day 4

Es Vedrà & Andratx

Sail past Es Vedrà, a limestone monolith rising four hundred metres straight from the sea off Ibiza’s south-west coast, attended by a great deal of Atlantis mythology and no inhabitants. Snorkel below it, then cross back to Mallorca and Port d’Andratx, where the fishing harbour and the money coexist politely.

Day 5

Port de Sóller

Round the western cape and into Port de Sóller, a near-perfect horseshoe bay under the Tramuntana mountains. A wooden tram runs into the town behind. Take the road to Deià, where Robert Graves lived and wrote and is buried ’ a village of stone houses stacked on a hillside above the sea.

Day 6

Pollensa & Formentor

North-east to the Formentor peninsula, where the mountains run out into the sea in a series of cliffs and the lighthouse at the end has one of the great views in Spain. Anchor in the coves below. Kayak, snorkel, cycle the coast road if you have the legs for it, and dine on board as the cliffs go dark.

Day 7

Cala Morell, Menorca

Menorca is a biosphere reserve and behaves like one ’ low-rise, quiet, its northern coast cut into calas of red rock and pale sand. Cala Morell and Cala Algaiarens see a fraction of Ibiza’s traffic. Swim, lie on the sand, and take in an island that decided, deliberately, not to become its neighbours.
