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

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

A sample 7-day itinerary from Mallorca lets you experience the full spectrum of the Balearic coastline — from sheltered calas on the southwest shore to the dramatic cliffs of Cap de Formentor in the north. This route is designed by our brokerage team based on thousands of charter weeks organised across motor yachts from 20 to 55 metres. It balances sea time, shore excursions, and genuine downtime. Each leg keeps cruising under 25 nautical miles, so you spend more hours at anchor than underway. Whether you are planning a family cruise or a corporate retreat in 2026, this day-by-day guide gives you a realistic framework to shape around your own preferences.

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

Most luxury yacht charters begin at Marina Port de Mallorca or the STP shipyard quay in Palma. After a captain's briefing and safety walkthrough, the first afternoon leg heads southwest — roughly 18 nautical miles to Port d'Andratx. This harbour town offers calm overnight mooring and a waterfront lined with restaurants serving local langoustine and tumbet. On the morning of Day 2, a short 6-nautical-mile cruise brings you to the anchorage off Sant Elm, where the tender can drop guests at the beach or ferry them to the tiny island of Sa Dragonera. The nature reserve is car-free, criss-crossed by hiking trails, and home to endemic Lilford's wall lizards. Swell here is typically mild from May through September, making it a reliable early-itinerary stop. Browse our [fleet in Mallorca](#) to find the right vessel for this route.

Day 3–4: Cruising north to Sóller and Sa Calobra

From Sant Elm, a 22-nautical-mile passage along the Serra de Tramuntana coast reveals some of the most dramatic limestone scenery in the western Mediterranean. By midday on Day 3 you can Med-moor in Port de Sóller, a circular bay ringed by 19th-century townhouses and connected to the mountain village of Sóller by a vintage wooden tram. Spend the evening ashore — the walk from the harbour to the main square takes under 15 minutes. Day 4 is reserved for the short hop north to the cove of Sa Calobra. The Torrent de Pareis gorge empties into a pebble beach accessible only by sea or a winding mountain road. Anchor in 8–12 metres over sand, launch the tender, and explore the gorge on foot. Conditions permitting, this is one of the most photogenic lunch stops in the Balearics.

Day 5: Cap de Formentor and Pollença Bay

A morning cruise of roughly 15 nautical miles rounds Cap de Formentor, where the lighthouse perches 210 metres above the waterline. The passage can be lively when a tramuntana breeze funnels through the channel between the cape and Menorca, so your captain will monitor forecasts closely. Once around the headland, the broad sweep of Pollença Bay offers flat-water anchorage and views across to the Alcúdia peninsula. Port de Pollença is a convenient spot for provisioning or a late-afternoon swim off Platja de Formentor, a crescent of fine sand backed by pine forest.

What to expect each day on a week-long boat charter

- Morning briefing with the captain. Each day starts with a weather review and route confirmation, usually over coffee at 08:30. Flexibility is built in — itineraries shift with wind and guest wishes. - 2–4 hours of cruising per leg. At a comfortable 10-knot cruise, most passages on this route take under 3 hours, leaving generous time at anchor. - Tender excursions to beaches and coves. Many of the best calas are too shallow for a yacht drawing 3 metres or more. The crew handles all tender logistics. - Lunch at anchor, dinner ashore or on board. A private chef on yachts above 30 metres typically prepares lunch using local market produce; evenings alternate between onboard dining and harbour restaurants. - Water-toy sessions in the afternoon. Jet-skis, paddleboards, and SeaBobs are standard on most charter yachts over 25 metres in our fleet.

Day 6–7: Southeast coast and return to Palma

From Pollença, a longer passage of around 30 nautical miles tracks the east coast to Portocolom, a traditional fishing harbour with a deep natural inlet. Day 7 follows the south coast back toward Palma, with a final swim stop at the turquoise shallows of Es Trenc — a 3-kilometre stretch of undeveloped sand that feels remote despite being only 35 nautical miles from the capital. Arrival back at Marina Port de Mallorca is usually timed for late afternoon, allowing the crew to handle customs clearance and disembarkation before sunset.

Plan your yacht charter week from Mallorca

A 7-day private yacht hire around the island strikes the right balance between exploration and ease — long enough to round the northern capes, short enough that every anchorage feels purposeful. The 2026 summer season, running from late May through October, offers warm water temperatures above 24 °C and predominantly light northwesterly breezes that favour this counter-clockwise route. With the right yacht beneath your feet and a crew who knows every cala by name, a week on the Balearic Sea becomes the kind of trip that quietly reshapes how you think about time on the water.
