map of balearic islands, mallorca, minorca, ibizaOur fleet of yachts regularly cruises the Balearic Islands. Majorca is within easy reach of our yacht base at Port D'Aro near the historic fishing port of Palamos on the Spanish Costa Brava. At approximately 120 nautical miles, the Balearic Islands of Majorca, Minorca and Ibiza offer a superb all-year sailing destination. Our fleet of Beneteaus can sail bareboat, skippered charter or you can charter a group of yachts as a flotilla for periods of one week or more and cruise in company with your friends and family. See our fleet of yachts for full specifications.

One-way sailing - Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza

One-way sailing aboard our Beneteau 473 has proved increasingly popular and an ideal way to achieve good seamanship skills as well as mile-building for professional qualifications whilst cruising the Balearic Islands of Mallorca, Minorca and Ibiza. One of our skippers can teach on the way, or you can bareboat - or combine a skipper and hostess to add that extra level of luxury to your charter holiday.

Fly inexpensively into Girona airport, transfer to the yacht of your choice and sail along the Catalan coast towards Barcelona; maybe make a stopover here and visit one of Europe's highly regarded cosmopolitan cities, before day / night sailing across to Palma on the beautiful island of Mallorca.

Take a skipper and / or hostess and enjoy your holiday visiting many of the nicest anchorages, cruising and sailing areas to be found. Majorca, Minorca and Ibiza are all within easy striking distance of the Catalan coast and give you access to an extended cruising area. All the Balearic marinas and anchorages offer safe sailing havens and ashore the entertainment and cuisine is first class.
