Mallorca yacht rental: what rent a yacht mallorca costs, and the two coasts it buys

Renting a yacht in Mallorca means choosing between two coasts that behave nothing alike. South and east from Palma is a forgiving week of calas and short hops; north west is the Tramuntana, which is spectacular and offers almost no shelter if the wind goes into the north. Quotes rarely distinguish them and it is the difference that decides the week.

What is published

Click&Boat and SamBoat both print a from-price per day against their Balearic and Spanish listings, so a number is readable in seconds. Those are day rates across a mixed fleet whose cheapest listing sets the floor, and most of that fleet is small motorboats out of Palma. No company in this record publishes a Mallorcan weekly rate, which is recorded as a dated absence rather than inferred.

The two coasts

South and east: Cala Pi, Portocolom, Porto Cristo and the Cabrera archipelago, with short hops and reliable anchorages. North west: Soller, Sa Calobra and the Tramuntana cliffs, which are extraordinary to look at and have very little shelter, so the week depends on a settled forecast. A boat based in Palma can do either; the choice is made on the morning of the second day, not at booking.

Cabrera needs booking, not just deciding

The Cabrera archipelago is a national park with a limited number of moorings and a permit system booked in advance, usually arranged by the charter company. It is the best thing within a day of Palma and it is not available on impulse. Ask about it at booking rather than at the dock.
