7-Day Yacht Charter Itinerary From Mallorca: A Complete Guide

Why a 7-day yacht charter from Mallorca is the ideal timeframe

A sample 7-day itinerary from Mallorca gives you enough sea time to circle the island's 550-kilometre coastline at a comfortable pace, with layover days for swimming, dining ashore, and exploring by tender. One week aboard a private yacht lets you alternate between the quieter north-east coves and the livelier south-west bays without ever feeling rushed. This guide maps out the route our brokerage recommends most often — refined over hundreds of charters — so you can see exactly what a week of luxury yacht hire around the island looks like before you book.

Day 1–2: Palma de Mallorca to Port d'Andratx

Most charters begin with a morning embarkation at Marina Port de Mallorca or the STP shipyard quay in Palma. Your crew will brief you on the week ahead while you settle into the saloon and familiarise yourself with the yacht — typically a 24–40 m motor yacht carrying 8–12 guests in four or five en-suite cabins. After lunch on the flybridge, the captain sets a south-west heading for Port d'Andratx, roughly 20 nautical miles along the Tramuntana coast. The harbour is compact and photogenic, ringed by terracotta-roofed restaurants. Day two is best spent at anchor in Cala Llamp, a deep turquoise inlet just south of the port, where the water depth drops to 8 metres over sand — perfect for paddle-boarding or a tender run to the rocky shore.

Day 3–4: Serra de Tramuntana coast and Cala Tuent

Heading north from Port d'Andratx, the limestone cliffs of the Serra de Tramuntana rise more than 1,000 metres above the waterline. The passage to Sa Calobra takes around 3 hours at 10 knots, hugging a dramatic shoreline with almost no development. Cala Tuent sits just around the headland — a pebble-beach anchorage sheltered from the prevailing south-westerly swell by a high ridge. The holding is good on sand and weed in 6–10 metres. Ashore, a single restaurant serves grilled fish under pine trees. On day four, continue 12 nautical miles north-east to the Cap de Formentor peninsula, where the lighthouse marks the island's northernmost point. Conditions here can build quickly when the Tramontana wind funnels through the channel toward Menorca, so your captain will monitor the forecast and may suggest an overnight repositioning to Pollença Bay, which offers flat-water shelter on almost any wind angle.

Day 5: Pollença Bay and Alcúdia

Pollença Bay is one of the most versatile anchorages on the island. The town of Port de Pollença lines the western shore with cafés, boutiques, and a weekly market. A short tender ride delivers you to a pine-shaded beach with shallow, warm water — ideal for families with younger children. In the afternoon, cruise 6 nautical miles south-east to the medieval walled town of Alcúdia. The old quarter dates to the 14th century, and the rampart walk offers long views over the bay. Your chef can provision fresh seafood from the Alcúdia fish market for dinner aboard. See our [Mallorca day-charter itinerary](#) for a condensed version of this northern loop.

What to expect each day on a Mallorca yacht rental

- Morning swim stop. The crew drops anchor by 09:00 in a sheltered cove. Water temperatures around Mallorca range from 20 °C in June to 27 °C in August. - Lunch at anchor or ashore. Your private chef prepares Mediterranean dishes on board, or the tender takes you to a beachfront restaurant within minutes. - Afternoon cruising. Most daily passages cover 15–25 nautical miles, keeping engine hours low and deck time high. - Evening mooring or anchorage. Some nights the yacht Med-moors stern-to in a harbour; others you swing at anchor under the stars with no light pollution. - Water-toy sessions. Expect jet-ski runs, SeaBob dives, and paddleboard excursions — most charter yachts over 30 m carry a full toy garage. - Cultural shore visits. At least two evenings include a walk through a coastal town — Deià, Sóller, or Alcúdia — for gallery browsing and local wine.

Day 6–7: Cabrera Archipelago and return to Palma

The Cabrera National Park lies 10 nautical miles south of Colònia de Sant Jordi. Permits are mandatory, and your captain will file the application 48 hours in advance. Once inside the marine reserve, the water clarity is extraordinary — visibility often exceeds 25 metres. Anchor in the main harbour below the 14th-century castle, then take the tender into the Cova Blava, a sea cave where refracted light turns the water electric blue. Day seven traces the south coast back toward Palma, with a final swim stop at Es Trenc — a 3-kilometre stretch of white sand backed by dunes. You arrive at the marina by late afternoon, giving the crew time to prepare the yacht for disembarkation.

Plan your charter

A week aboard a private yacht around Mallorca compresses an extraordinary range of scenery, cuisine, and coastal culture into seven unhurried days. From the wild Tramuntana cliffs to the protected waters of Cabrera, every morning anchorage feels different from the last. The 2026 season — roughly May through October — is already filling, and the most sought-after yachts tend to confirm earliest. Knowing your preferred dates, guest count, and pace of travel makes all the difference when matching the right vessel to the right itinerary.
