Spain yacht charter

When it comes to spectacular art, architecture, fantastic cuisine, calm cruising grounds, sunny weather, and one of the world's best nightlife scenes, nothing beats a holiday in Spain. With the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Seas on its coastline, it is a yacht charter paradise. In the summer, from April to October, you will witness some of the world's best luxury yachts floating off the waters of Ibiza, Mallorca, Barcelona, and on the sailing haven of the Canary Islands.

How much to charter a yacht in Spain?

With thousands of coastlines and more than 300 sunny days every year, a yacht charter is the ideal way to truly capture Spain's gist and beauty. You can choose from many different types of sizes of boats, from speedboats to catamarans with two cabins, to superyachts with complete luxury amenities. A 156-foot sailboat in Spain can cost around $6,700 for a week's rent, while a 42-foot catamaran with six cabins can cost about $8,500. For a 134-foot luxury yacht, with five cabins, and complete water sports equipment, it can cost around $100,000 for 7 days.

What are the most popular yacht holidays in Spain?

The coastal cities and islands on the Mediterranean side of Spain offer the most popular yacht charter holidays. With turquoise waters, peaceful cruising grounds, sheltered bays, and plenty of charming and exciting islands to explore, Spain is a luxury yacht charter paradise. The Balearic Islands make up Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca, and Formentera. Mallorca is famous for its vibrant nightlife, stunning historical architecture, and secluded coves. The island also features quaint fishing villages and charming stone-built villages such as the popular Pollenca.

Ibiza, famous for being a party island destination, is known worldwide for its legendary nightlife. It is home to the world's largest nightclub, the Privilege Ibiza. But aside from its image as Spain's party capital, the island also boasts deserted beaches, calm anchorages, and crystal blue waters perfect for water sports activities. Formentera and Menorca's islands offer a more peaceful atmosphere, fantastic beach clubs, excellent restaurants, and gorgeous sandy beaches. If you want to step away from the buzzing nightlife and crowds of Ibiza, you can take your boat to these islands for some laid back vibe.

The Mediterranean coastal cities of Spain are perfect destinations for cosmopolitan life. You will discover spectacular architecture in Barcelona, particularly of Gaudi's works, who designed the famous Sagrada Familia Catholic Church. The city is the top spot for trendy shops, gourmet restaurants, and art museums. The city of Valencia, also on the coast, is renowned for its famous sailing grounds. Considered to have one of the best waters for yachts in the whole of Europe, it is host to the America's Cup, the world's most important sailing race.

In Costa Del Sol, you will find Sotogrande, also offering excellent sailing conditions, designer shops, and of course, an epic nightlife. And if you want a more rugged and raw natural beauty for a yacht holiday destination, the Canary Islands on the Atlantic Ocean is a hidden gem. It is located approximately 70 miles off the coast of Morocco and features seven main islands, all within a day's cruise. The island group is Spanish territory, and there are excellent marinas, thousands of beaches, and incredible natural scenery.

Where to go on a luxury yacht charter in Spain?

Spain is a luxury yacht charter destination, and you can find plenty of luxury tours on the Mediterranean coast. You can find Port Vell in Barcelona, one of Europe's most famous luxury marinas. You can find the Port Vell Wellness within the marina, which features a spa, a gym with personal trainers, and a Pilates studio. After seven days cruising the Mediterranean, get to drop anchor in this marina and pamper yourself with the 5-star spa only a few steps away from your boat. And with the city only a stroll away, get to explore the Gothic quarter nearby, and indulge yourself in world-class cuisine from any of the ten Michelin-starred restaurants located all over Barcelona.

Known as among the most expensive marinas in the world is the Ibiza Magna. With a prime location, this exclusive marina can host boats up to 60 meters in length. Found on the foot of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Dalt Vila, right in the center of the city, its luxury amenities and proximity to the best happenings and best spots on the island make it a true luxury destination. And of course, Costa Del Sol's Puerto Banus is not to be missed. Dubbed as the most expensive marina in Europe, it is one of the world's best known nautical destinations. Located on the suburb of Marbella in Nueva Andalucia, luxury yacht charters will find excellent facilities, shops, and plenty of exciting adventures waiting for you to discover onshore.

Spain is a vibrant, exciting, and spectacular yacht charter destination. With the Mediterranean Sea offering crystal blue waters and excellent sailing conditions for most of the year, a luxury yacht charter hopping from one island and coastal city to another is the best way to immerse yourself in the cosmopolitan and natural beauty of Spain.

Sailing holidays in Spain offer the chance to see this diverse, popular country in a completely new light, from the breathtaking fjords on the North Coast to the sheltered coves of the Balearic islands. The Spanish coast is home to an abundance of incredible landscapes, dazzling blue waters with a melting pot of cultures and history an a sailing holiday in Spain is the perfect way to uncover it all. 

THE NORTH COAST OF SPAIN

The north coast of Spain is a far cry from the tourist hub of the South and we really believe there is no better way to soak up the authenticity and atmosphere of this coastline than from a boat. This wild coastline is a wonderful mix of rugged cliffs, deserted estuaries and traditional fishing villages with the port of Vigo still being home to Europe’s largest fishing fleet.

Galicia is a unique and beautiful region framed by mountains, dotted with traditional ancient villages and oozing in Spanish history. Celtic carved-stone crosses and stones and fort-villages tell stories of the Galicians’ Celtic ancestors old. There is just so much to see from a sailing holiday in Spain.

A historic fishing and trading port, La Coruña is located on the North coast. The historic part of town is home to an interesting Romanesque road network with squares and medieval churches as well as the Hercules Tower, the oldest lighthouse in the world. The Museum of Fine Arts, with works by Goya and others on display, is also worth a visit.

SAILING THE SPANISH COAST

The air is full of the scent of eucalyptus drifting down from the mountains and this wild coast is frayed by the majestic collection of coastal inlets named Rías Baixas. The Rías Baixas are a series of four estuaries turning into magnificent Fjords located on the southwestern coast of Galicia. Sailing through and exploring these Fjords by boat is a truly breathtaking experience and the vastness of the cliff line dropping swiftly down to long stretches of deserted sandy beaches and hidden coves is a fascinating sight.

Nestled along the coastline and in the estuaries are clusters of islands that provide our boats with the best “off-the-beaten-track” anchorages for guests to explore. The beautiful archipelago of Iles Cies is situated in the mouth of the River Vigo and is a designated National Park home to picturesque sheltered coves, glistening clear waters and stretches of deserted sandy white beaches. Also teeming with birdlife, these islands are great for wildlife spotting!

SAILING TO CADIZ

One of our most popular itineraries when sailing in Portugal is from the ancient port of Cadiz. Cadiz boasts a rich maritime history as it is home to the Spanish Navy and served as the main port for exploration and trade during the 16th and 17th Centuries. There is much history to uncover here from the 100 watchtowers once used for spotting ships to the solid city walls which date back to the 18th Century. The entire port is surrounded by water and it’s worth ascending the hilly headlands to enjoy the fantastic sweeping views out to sea, along the picturesque coast, as far as the eye can see.

SAILING THE BALEARIC ISLANDS

Located East from the mainland of Spain, the Balearic Islands are a popular holiday destination, with a warm and sunny Mediterranean climate and an abundance of picturesque anchorages. Our skippered sailing holidays across Spain take you far away from the tourist hustle and bustle, showing you a secluded side to island life.

The largest of the Balearic islands, Mallorca is well known for its crystal clear waters, limestone cliffs and gorgeous sandy beaches, making it the perfect location for a luxury sailing holiday. Set the sails from the historic harbour city of Palma after a short flight from the UK. With plenty of anchorages in picturesque bays, enjoy these crystal clear waters with some snorkelling or swimming after a day of coastal sailing. 

 Majorca was one of the central locations on the Mediterranean trading route, meaning there’s a wealth of history and culture to be explored ashore.  From the prehistoric settlements ‘talaoits’, to the Roman cobbled streets, to the unmissable Gothic cathedral found in Palma, you’ll find yourself stepping back in time across the centuries. The melting pot of cultures on the island have resulted in a unique culture and lifestyle, drawing from Arabic, North African, Catalan and Spanish history across food, architecture and culture. Wander through traditional stone villages and citrus plantations before spending a starlit evening enjoying the local delicacies. 

Not only does this coastline offer fabulous scenery and fascinating Spanish history but it is also famous for its seafood and fresh produce. With our voyages being fully catered sailing holidays, our Skippers will definitely make the most of this coastline’s rich offerings. Traditional Spanish markets are a great opportunity to mix with locals, see the offerings of the local villages and purchase delicious fresh produce.

Spain Yachting: When to Go

The Spanish coast and Balearic Islands enjoy a classic Mediterranean climate: hot, dry summers and mild, sometimes rainy winters. And while it is accessible all year long, summer is prime yachting season in Spain, most notably in July and August. These peak months offer hot, sunny days and mild water temperatures that are perfect for outdoor adventures.

In the shoulder season months of May-June and September, the weather and conditions are excellent for yachting, as well. Temperatures hover in the mid-70s, with steady breezes and moderate swells. The shoulder season also offers a reprieve from the crowds of July and August.

Spain Yacht Charters – Where to Go

The majority of Spain yacht charters cruise the Balearic Islands. Regarded for their golden beaches, glimmering bays, and lively harbors, the Balearics – Mallorca, Ibiza, Formentera, and Menorca – are one of Europe’s best destinations for a private yacht charter.

The largest of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca is a stunningly beautiful island, known for its lush, mountainous interior and picturesque seaside villages. Tucked away in the interior, you’ll find countless olive groves, vineyards, and almond groves – a perfect afternoon escape – while the harbors are filled with incredible restaurants, historic Gothic buildings, and excellent shopping.

The most famous of the Balearic Islands, Ibiza is renowned for its vibrant nightlife – the best in all of Europe. Along the streets of Ibiza Town, you’ll find boutique shops, gourmet restaurants, and spas, with Vegas-style clubs around every corner. Spend an afternoon on one of Ibiza’s exclusive beaches, before a night on the town.

Menorca offers a respite from the bustle of the other islands. The entire island is a protected UNESCO nature preserve, offering plenty of opportunities to explore the outdoors. Yet, there’s still plenty of history and culture to explore in the island’s charming ports.

Formentera is the smallest of the Balearics, and it’s also one of the most beautiful. Located just a half-hour cruise from Ibiza, Formentera is the perfect getaway for some R&R. Enjoy the island’s splendid beaches, bask in the sun, and enjoy an al fresco lunch in one of Formentera’s quaint plazas.

VAT (Value Added Tax) in Spain

The following VAT laws pertain to private yacht charters in Spanish waters:

• If a yacht only cruises through Spanish/EU waters, a standard 21% VAT rate will be applied.
• All yachts must register with the Spanish Government in each region it intends to charter.

Things to See & Do in Spain

Whether you want to savor a glass of sangria while taking in the sunset, or you’d prefer an adventurous hike in the mountains, Spain offers boat rental itineraries full of memorable experiences. A few highlights include:

Explore Historical Sites   All throughout the Balearic Islands you’ll find numerous UNESCO sites and historical landmarks. From the centuries-old battery Dalt Vila in Ibiza, which offers stunning, 360-degree views, to the Roman ruins on Mallorca, the islands offer plenty of chances to explore the region’s storied past.

Enjoy World-Class Cuisine From southern Spain to Valencia, Barcelona, and the Balearic Islands, every corner of the country has developed a thriving culinary scene. Its most popular dishes – like paella, gazpacho, and chorizo – are coupled with seductive aromatics, like fresh olive oils and garlic. The result: Vibrant dishes that awaken the palette. Plus, the Balearic Islands are well-known for their seafood. Try the lobster stew, a local favorite, that’s served on every island.

Sample Fine Wine As you taste your way through the country, pair your meals with fine Spanish wines and sangrias. Sangria – the red wine, fruit concoction – originates in southern Spain, and you’ll find numerous variations on this classic cocktail while on charter. Inland, you’ll find centuries-old vineyards producing unique, native-grape blends and vintages. Can Rich de Buscatello in Ibiza is a must-visit, known for its amazing wines and stunning scenery?

Escape into Nature  From the sparkling, aquamarine waters, to the lush peaks of the Serra de Tramuntana range, the islands put on a dazzling display of natural beauty. Menorca, also known as the “Green Island,” is a protected UNESCO reserve, and boasts some of the region’s best-kept landscapes. Yet, you’ll find secluded coves, sparkling coastal bays, and dramatic mountain ranges wherever you go.

Clubbing in Ibiza Ibiza offers the best nightlife in Spain if not all of Europe. Around Playa d’en Bossa near Ibiza Town, you’ll find world-famous clubs like Ushuaia, which draw the biggest names in international DJing. San Antonio – on the island’s western coast – is another must-visit nightlife spot, where you’ll find the so-called “sunset strip,” a collection of open-air clubs and bars that stay open all night.

Explore Historic Villages The Balearic Islands are home to some of Spain’s most historic villages and seaside towns. Alcudia in the north of Mallorca is one you can’t miss. The restored walled city boasts a gorgeous Medieval city center. Spend an afternoon exploring the city’s narrow, winding streets, and be sure to visit the town’s bustling weekly market.

While on a Yacht Charter in Spain…

• Spend an afternoon exploring the historic Ibiza Town, before a night of clubbing near Platja d’en Bossa beach
• Climb to the top of El Toro on Menorca and enjoy 360-degree views of the island
• Enjoy a glass of sangria at a seaside bar in Mallorca
• Spend a day at the Palma Aquarium, which is home to more than 8,000 marine animals
• Relax and unwind on one of the Balearics sparkling beaches like Es Trenc
• Explore the Dalt Vila UNESCO site on Ibiza, which overlooks the old town
• Tour the cliff-top Far de la Mola Lighthouse on Formentera and catch a scenic sunset

Yacht Charter Sailing Holidays in Spain

The Balearics are often misinterpreted by the countless party towns in Ibiza and the large poolside villas of Mallorca. However, don’t be fooled as this area offers some of the most secluded and beautiful sailing grounds in the world. From the island national park of Cabrera where anchoring is illegal and fish are plenty, to the white sand beaches of Formentera, the Balearics offer a diversity seldom found.

Our Rough Guides to sailing from Palma

Unsure where you could reach in a week (or two if you're lucky)? Check out our rough sailing guides to sailing around the Balaerics below and give us a call if you have any questions. 

Two Weeks Sailing around Mallorca

Two Weeks of relaxed coastal sailing around magnificent Majorca. Short hops through clear seas beneath sunny skies.

Two Week Sailing Mallorca & Menorca  

Relax, unwind and recharge whilst sailing to marvelous Menorca for two weeks of tranquil escapism. Mmm!

Two Weeks sailing Mallorca & Ibiza

Be the life of Ibiza's incredible party town, arriving by yacht, or discover the islands hidden bays and beaches.

  One Week Sailing around Mallorca

If you can't escape for two weeks make the most of your time with this week long exploration guide.

Four stunning islands

The four largest islands in the Balearics are Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera. Each island offers a unique experience.

Palma, Mallorca’s capital, is rich in culture and boasts some of the best shopping and dining in the Mediterranean. On the west of the island you’ll find a rocky coastline with a treasure trove of towns and coves perfect for anchoring. Find secluded restaurants only accessible by boat such as Sa Foradada or spend the day basking in the crystal-clear water.

Ibiza’s reputation is renowned worldwide. This little island hosts some of the best nightlife and DJ’s around and is easily accessible from your anchorage. However, don’t be put off if you’re looking for a more serene experience as Ibiza offers quiet unspoilt bays and a beautiful sector in the old town.

Crews who are looking for a low key atmosphere with prehistoric sites, wonderful beaches and the forts that conquerors built (then left behind) should head across to Menorca. Its red beaches, caves and rock jumping offer a great family experience for those wanting a quieter holiday. The smallest Island is Formentera known as Ibiza's tranquil little sister and for good reason.

Our sailing base in Spain

The base for the Balearic Islands is Palma, the capital of Mallorca. Our base in Palma is handily only 15 minutes from the airport. This combined with the short two and a half our flight from the UK makes this a great destination for a short sailing getaway as well as longer breaks. 

What's the weather like?

The Balearic Islands enjoy a mild climate all year round, with the months June, July, August and September being some of the hottest months with an average of 10 hours daylight. The Balearic Islands are also a great destination for an early or late season sail with temperatures in the low 20's during May and October.

Spain Yacht Charter

Luxury superyacht charters in Spain can be organised at surprisingly reasonable prices. Spain yacht charters on private boats are easily the best way to explore the beautiful Mediterranean coastlines of Spain because your crew know all the best spots. Spain has grown as a crewed yacht charter vacation location in recent years and is now one of the most popular areas in the Mediterranean. Here's why:

Everything about Spain represents the passion and power of an awesome culture. The swirling Flamenco skirts, the flash of the Matador's cloak, the sangria, the tapas, and the rich and flaming personalities of the Spanish. Everything about Spain is red; except the startling blue backdrop of the Mediterranean , where the yachts moor with their shiny hulls, and the silvery green leaves of the olive groves. Balearic Islands , located in the western Mediterranean Sea , are the most sought-after charter destination in Spain with charter itineraries starting and ending in either Mallorca or Ibiza .

On a charter holiday in the Balearics you will come across continuous sunshine, pristine clear waters, beautiful beaches and rugged landscape with plenty of historical sites to visit; including castles, museums and ancient cobbled streets in quaint little towns. You will also see a range of beautiful luxury superyachts moored off shore in the warm Mediterranean waters. The four largest islands to explore are Mallorca (or Majorca), Minorca (Menorca), Ibiza and Formentera (Espalmador).

There are no half-measures on a Spain yacht charter and visitors on a luxury yacht vacation will be bombarded with visual delights, flavoursome cuisine and animated celebrations. Ramble through the evocative old lane of the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona and marvel at Casa Battlo, the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia and Park Guell, all showcasing Gaudi's playful and flowing style that strongly influenced the Art Noveau movement. Picasso grew up in this atmospheric city and the galleries here have the best collection of his earlier work.

The Balearic Islands have some of the very best beaches, some of which can only be accessed by luxury yacht. Party the night away in Ibiza then sail to a secluded anchorage where you can sunbathe in privacy and recover in your sundeck Jacuzzi surrounded by the ambient sounds of nature. The charming seaside towns on Menorca and Mallorca provide a laid-back setting for rest and exploration, while the surrounding seas are clear and offer a wealth of opportunities to break out your water toys.

TOP DESTINATIONS TO VISIT IN SPAIN

Majorca yacht charters are fabulous thanks to its beaches and coves, and is an excellent destination to enjoy everything from countryside golf to historic culture, water sports and lively entertainment. The capital city, Palma has numerous outdoor cafés, pubs and large seafront discos hosting some of the best DJs on the music scene. In Palma de Mallorca you could also visit the elegant Cathedral of Palma (Sa Seu), commissioned by King Jaume I and built on the site of a preexisting Arab mosque.

Have everything you could want on a Spanish luxury yacht charter and visit Mallorca in the Balearic Islands for the lush contrasts between the sandy beaches and verdant mountains, the medieval architecture and the nightlife. Adults and children alike will enjoy an afternoon exploring the myriad of caves along the coastline and the shallow clear water is the perfect place for younger children to play on inflatable and towable toys or learn new skills. Party the night away in Magaluf at the prestigious clubs and bars, where you will be serenaded by live music as you sip on exotic cocktails and meet other holidaymakers. If you wish to escape the bustling towns for a day or two of tranquility, Pollença on the north side of the island is ideally positioned close to the beaches with easy access to grassy hill tracks. The town is filled with high quality art galleries where you can pick up the perfect souvenir of your holiday. More on Mallorca yacht charter ...

Menorca features more beaches than Ibiza, Mallorca and Formentera combined and there are various attractions, including fabulous archeological sites and cultural attractions throughout the island. For yacht charterers Menorca is a perfect place to enjoy great diving, thanks to the crystal clear waters and fantastic diving sites. Minorca is also a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and has marked trails and routes in southern Europe ‘s most important wetland areas. The S’Albufera d’Es Grau Nature Reserve is where many aquatic and migratory birds thrive, or visit one of the monumental sites such as the historic old town of Ciudadela.

Referred to as the ‘White Island’ thanks to its typical architecture, Ibiza is one of the best known islands in the world. If what your desire is a lively nightlife and great entertainment on your luxury yacht charter, than Ibiza is the right place to sail to. The entertainment isn’t just reserved to the night clubs; after the sunset, Ibiza plays host to street markets, terrace bars, open-air cultural events and concerts.

In addition to lively atmosphere, the island is also a UNESCO World Heritage destination for its cultural wealth, boasting wonderful archaeological history and museums. By day you could choose to explore the ancient heritage of the island or simply relax and enjoy one of the many tiny coves, broad white sand beaches and water activities.  There are also two beautiful National Parks to visit in Ibiza: the Ses Salinas National Park and the Es Vedrà – an uninhabited nature reserve island. More about Ibiza yacht charter ...

FORMENTERA OR ESPALMADOR

Your Spanish charter itinerary would not be perfect without a visit to Fromentera; a mecca for nature-lovers with rich vegetation of pines and palms. Formentera is a lovely little island situated 11 miles from the South Eastern coast of Ibiza and can only be reached by boat. Adding to the exclusive atmosphere, there are numerous great beaches and tranquil bays to relax and unwind.

Water sports enthusiasts can play to their heart's content at the kilometre-long beaches of Formentera, which has preserved its natural beauty. Artists and photographers have plentiful subjects to choose from, including weathered lighthouses, windmills, watch towers and churches. Isla Espalmador is one of the region's most famous sites and your group can indulge in a therapeutic mud bath after a tiring day of kayaking, water skiing or even scuba diving in the sea.

The northern Catalonian City of Barcelona , Spain’s second largest, is also the launching base for some of Spain’s superyacht charters, for those visitors who wish to add Barcelona to their charter itinerary. The city is a melting pot of gothic and medieval architecture and the culture and nightlife in Barcelona, is as good as anywhere. There are two main marinas in Barcelona, including the newly developed Marina Port Vell. From here it is just a short stroll down to the Las Ramblas, Barcelona's famous main street. It is lined with restaurants, cafe and shops. Some of the 'must-see' sights include the breathtaking 'Sagrada Familia' surrounded by the Gothic Quarter - Barri Gòtic, Park Guell or the Picasso Museum. Barcelona, a Spanish City known for its unique diversity, is a microcosm of rich culture and history and considered as a teeming social milieu in tourist circles.

Mahón is a popular Balearic Islands destination among the yachting crowd for its easy-going character and fine eateries. The settlement has a personality all of its own; Georgian houses show an influence from tourists of a bygone era and guests can taste the locally made gin, tour the ancient ruins or listen to the organ in the serene church Iglesia de Santa Maria.Anchor in one of the many bays to watch the sunset as you dine alfresco aboard your superyacht, then spend your evening hosting your own private sundeck party while the town lights flicker on the water.

The naturally beautiful region of Ciutadella on Menorca will leave your luxury yacht charter party spoiled for choice for beaches and play grounds to break out the water toys. Fishing, snorkelling and diving in this region is also excellent and there is a variety of sea corals and marine life to make colourful photographs to share back home. Wildflowers and ruins throng the hillsides and outside of the peak tourist times, you can have the beach all to yourselves to enjoy a candlelit dinner beside the water. If you crave city life Ciutadella has excellent shops and plenty of cultural hot spots to discover, such as the Talaia Cultura and the Cathedral Ciudadela.

The Spain yacht charter scene has become increasingly popular and the types of yacht charter available in the Balearics, Barcelona, Palma, Valencia and The Costa Brava are all the main types of yacht charter including motor, sailing, bareboat charter, skippered, crewed yachts, catamaran, power boat, sailboat, luxury yachts and the ever more familiar super yacht charter.

Like most of the Mediterranean , the Spain yacht chartering season generally runs from April to the end of October. The summer season in July and August is the hottest and tends to have lighter winds. This is also the high season as far as yacht charter goes. Other good times to rent a yacht is generally on either of the shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October), each side of the main summer season, as the temperatures are still comfortable, and the onshore tourists have yet to arrive in their largest numbers. This is the time that you will see the bulk of the Mediterranean crewed luxury superyachts visiting Spain.

Spain Yacht Charter Enquiry

Trina: The Charter was excellent – the Best captain we have ever had and an excellent crew. The boat itself was very well suited to our needs, it was particularly good that all cabins were of a similar size, as you know often the 3rd and 4th cabins can be a little small the design of the boat meant they were all a good size.

A yacht charter in Spain offers the chance to set sail into different sailing grounds, like the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, but also parts of the Spanish coastline.

Discover sandy beaches and breath-taking landscapes and make sure you don’t miss the national park of Puerto de Cabrera on a charter starting from Palma de Mallorca . Let’s get started!

This beautiful group of islands, which consists of 7 larger islands:

• Gran Canaria, 
• Fuerteventura, 
• Lanzarote, 
• La Palma, 
• Hierro 

and a few smaller ones: 

• Alegranza, 
• Graciosa, 
• Montaña Clara, 
• Roque del Este, 
• Roque del Oeste and 
• Lobos  

They have splendid beaches of fine sand, warm climate and ideal sailing conditions year round. 

Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, benefits from the so-called Canaries cold-stream, which has a moderating effect on its climate, and from the refreshing trade winds, so greatly appreciated by sailors.

You might be wondering: Are the Canary islands for those looking for exhilarating sailing? Yep, they are; Especially for those! The Canary Islands are one of Spain's top sailing destinations.

But what about the budget? A Yacht charter in Canary islands is also ideal for a winter-sun escape on a tighter budget, as its proximity to Africa offers warm weather conditions year-round and yachts there are offered at lower prices than those one can find in a South Pacific or a Caribbean charter . It’s a win win!

These islands are often called "The Islands of Eternal Spring"; the temperature ranges between 20 - 28 degrees Celcius in both summer and winter. 

Almost always charterers enjoy moderate, fresh winds of 3-4 Beaufort, with stronger gusts between the islands due to the funnelling effect.

We recommend the Canary Islands to our more advanced sailors or those looking for a new, more challenging sailing experience.

Most yachts are based in Tenerife (Marina Del Sur) and Lanzarote ( Marina Lanzarote ). Lanzarote is well-served by the Lanzarote Airport. For Tenerife, you will need to fly in and out of the North or South Tenerife Aiport, which have frequent flights from Europe and the USA.

• Transfer Time (Lanzarote): 10 mins
• Transfer Time (Tenerife): 25 mins from Tenerife South Airport & 1 hour from Tenerife Norte Airport

We recommend allowing some time each day ashore for you and your crew to explore the amazing scenery of these islands. 

You shouldn't miss the “Timanfaya National Park” and a walk to the majestic cliffs of Famara, which offer a breathtaking view over Europe’s largest marine protected area – the Chinijo archipelago.

A Balearic yacht charter offers white sandy beaches, amazing nightlife, picturesque villages and breathtaking mountain and ocean views. Want to know the best part?

The Balearic islands have what the locals call "un poco de todo" - a little bit of everything to satisfy even the most demanding of travellers. But this is not the only thing they offer.

Mallorca and Ibiza offer excellent nightlife, sailing and snorkelling opportunities and a year-round stable climate.  Keep on reading: Mallorca sailing guide>>

During ancient times, these ideally located islands were the sailing crossroads of the Mediterranean. Balearic islands are ideal for more experienced sailors.

Here’s the deal: With more than 300 days of sunshine every year, the Balearic Islands are a sailor's paradise. 

The best sailing conditions are between June and September and the prevailing wind is a NW Tramontana/Mistral. 

The temperature ranges between 20-25 degrees Celsius in the summer months and the almost constant cooling breeze provides a relief from the heat of the day.

Due to the fact that the vast majority of yachts are based in Mallorca, we do recommend starting your holiday from this island. 

But how can you go there? You can fly in and out of Palma de Mallorca Airport and charter out of one of the many marinas (i.e. Marina Port De Mallorca or Palma Cuarentena). Is there any alternative starting-point besides Mallorca or Palma? Another option would be to start your holiday in Ibiza; should you wish to sail from Ibiza, we suggest booking your yacht early in the year, as there are few fleets based there and they get booked very quickly.

• Transfer Time (Mallorca): 15 mins
• Transfer Time (Ibiza):  25 mins  

Is there something you shouldn’t miss while sailing around balearics?

You should definitely visit Cabrera, an uninhabited island near Mallorca - now a preserved National Park. You can book your stay in Cabrera in advance (the sooner the better due to high demand). Please note: Each yacht is only allowed to stay there for one night.

There are various anchorages with many town harbours around the coast, as well as organised marinas.

While it is still popular with tourists, it’s the perfect destination to escape it all and immerse yourself in rest and relaxation, while surrounded by amazing scenery and culture. 

What to visit around Costa Brava?

Visit interesting villages like the medieval town, Besalú, or the white-washed Cadaqués, or the seaside towns of Calella de Palafrugell and Llafranc. 

Enjoy delightfully fresh seafood and al fresco dining in town - or from your yacht’s deck. 

It gets better. Meaning ‘wild coast,’ Costa Brava has some of the most amazing coastline, with rocky jagged cliffs framing the aqua blue Mediterranean waters in the hidden calas that you can only reach by boat. Walk the coastal paths that once connected fishing villages in the 19th century. Bottom line? Regardless of what you choose to do, a yacht charter in Costa Brava will be the experience of a lifetime! 

The best time for sailing Costa Brava is during between June-August when you can enjoy those long hot Mediterranean summer days. However, as Costa Brava enjoys mild weather almost all year long, the shoulder season of May and June are also lovely times to go. Now: Considering that Costa Brava has 300 days of sunshine a year, and an average humidity of about 70%, there really isn’t a bad time to visit Costa Brava.  

Average summer temperatures range from 27-30°C, and water temperatures of 23°C. Winter averages are between 8-12°C and water temperatures of 11°C. 

Summer is the driest season in Costa Brava, and you might see a bit more rain in the shoulder months. October is considered the rainiest time, with average monthly rainfall of about 90mm. 

As for winds, there is the Tramuntana which blows from West to Northwest in the mid-pyrenees and Perpignan regions. On the Mediterranean you’ll get northerly wind following the Bear, Creus and Begur capes. You’ll also get strong winds more frequently during October-April.

Option #1: The best way to get to our base located in Empuriabrava, is to fly into Barcelona’s international airport, which is about 163km from base. As the second largest airport in Spain, there are several flights daily from the UK, North America and the rest of the EU.  

From Barcelona-El Prat Airport: You can either go by car directly to base, or head into the city center and take the train to Figueras and then a taxi to base.

• The fast train is about 55 minutes to Figueras and then from Figueras to base is about 35 minutes by car.

Option #2: Alternatively you could fly into a smaller regional airport in Perpignan, or Girona, which are both a bit closer to Empuriabrava. 

If you would like help organizing airport transfers, ask your charter consultant! 

• Time from Barcelona El-Prat Airport to Base - 1h 45 min by car
• Time from Perpignan to Base - 1h by car
• Time from Girona Airport to Base - 50 min by car

You might be wondering:

What language do they speak in Costa Brava?

Well, In Costa Brava, the predominant languages are Catalan and Spanish . 

Catalan is a regional dialect, but don’t worry most everyone you meet will know Spanish, and even some English as well. 

For mooring: Anchoring in the sand is allowed, but stay away from seaweeds and grasses. If available, use a mooring buoy. If not, try to make sure you are not over a seagrass bed. Restoring a seabed takes many years, but you can prevent any damage by diving under to patrol the area before anchoring. You can also tell by checking the coloring for the area below you. Light patches are likely sand and darker patches are usually seaweed or seagrass.

For provisioning: Yacht4Less recommends Mercadona, which is a mere 8 minutes all. Here you can order online and arrange for delivery to your yacht. Ask your charter broker about it and we would be happy to arrange your provisioning for you!

At Borrow A Boat we're on a mission to make boating more accessible and to make it easier for you to get on the water. We believe boating should be available to everyone, and we can help the boating industry, boat owners, marinas, and everyone who wants to go boating by providing a 21st-century boating marketplace. Borrow A Boat is the best place to find and rent boats of all sorts, from a canal and riverboats across Europe to a sailing boat , motor yacht , catamaran across North America, the Mediterranean and Caribbean and further afield, along with some of the world's most impressive superyachts and luxury yacht charters.

A smaller alternative than a superyacht charter, catamarans are the fastest growing type of charter yacht at the moment and once you've sailed on one it's easy to see why. In terms of your ideal catamaran charter think of locations like Thailand, the Ionian Islands, BVI (British Virgin Islands), Croatian Adriatic, Ibiza, French riviera and Mallorca for your sailing adventure.

Types of Catamarans Available For Rent Or Charter In Spain:

When searching a geographical area on Borrow A Boat you can filter by the below boat types. There is also the option to further filter your searches by price, the number of guests, cabins or bathrooms, what year the catamaran yacht was launched, the boat length and the boat manufacturer.

Types of Catamarans Available:

Catamarans: Luxury catamarans are stable and spacious, with quick sailing performance, and and have been gaining in popularity in recent years. Better for larger groups, they have lots of room for water toys, and are big enough for a little privacy. A catamaran charter is easy and comfortable for novices not used to heeling and are loved by families due to their extra space when compared to a monohull sailing yacht. Typically far more luxurious than a sailboat the larger catamarans have en suite toilets and showers in the cabin as well as ample entertaining space in the saloon and on deck.

Power Catamaran: These motor boat are relatively new but have also been gaining in popularity as the two hulls keep the boat more stable when compared to a monohull. The wider beam also means more deck space and as they don't have sails or a mast, they have a lot more space on deck than a sailing catamaran rental or monohull. For a luxury catamaran charter , consider taking a crewed catamaran charter sailing vacation with an experienced skipper.

Catamaran Sailing Areas In Spain

On a catamaran yacht charter Spain, you've a wide range of options for a sailing holiday through Borrow A Boat. Fancy a bit of winter sun cruising the North East Trade Winds in the Canary Islands or a relaxed cruise along the Costa del Sol? There are a wide variety of options available in your choice of sailing holiday.

A classic catamaran boat rental holiday would be out of Ibiza Town or Balearic Island capital Palma de Mallorca. Enjoy the sailing and fun ashore on your luxury Balearic Island sailing holiday! Another important tourist hotspot is out of Lanzarote on the Canary Islands, tropical Atlantic Ocean islands with perfect winds and weather.

On the Spanish mainland you can do is cruise the coastline of the Costa Brava or Costa del Sol yacht charter on the Mediterranean Sea. Explore buzzing Barcelona and quaint Palamos on the Costa Brava or summer holiday capital Marbella and Torremelinos on the Costa del Sol. A Spain yacht charter is among the best you will find on the Western Mediterranean.

Crewed Catamaran Charter or Bareboat:

When it comes to a Spain catamaran charter you typically have two choices - bareboat or crewed catamaran charter.

When using Borrow A Boat you can filter all catamaran searches to be with or without skipper depending on what charter yachts you are looking for and below we cover some of the main points to consider for your catamaran hire.

Skippered Charter: A skippered yacht charter gives you the advantage of being able to get afloat without having to invest in getting sailing qualifications beforehand. For a crewed catamaran you will pay a fixed fee for the crew and skipper as well as their food and a tip at the end.

When you get to a luxury yacht charte r with crew these prices will increase and costs also depend on where you plan to sail to along with the size and type of yacht rental on your sailing holiday.

In some cases, skippers will also be the boat owner (typically day charter) which means they will know all the best - secluded beaches to show you the best that the area has to offer with their local knowledge.

For day trips you will often be able to use a skipper as well and prices will vary depending on the type of charter boat.

Bareboat Catamaran Charter : For skilled sailors, a bareboat charter is cheaper and gives more privacy for you and your charter guests. Many sailors prefer to be helming the charter yacht while choosing their own course, and provided you have the knowledge and relevant qualifications you can skipper these boats yourself.

Do You Need A Licence To Charter A Catamaran In Spain

If you are on a crewed Spain catamaran charter you do not need a license to sail - you can just turn up at the marina and go.

You do need a license if you are on a bareboat catamaran charter and in some countries a day skipper or ICC may not be enough for boats over 45 feet in length, you will need to check with the charter agent but here are some examples of typical sailing qualifications that will allow you to charter in most countries:

International Certificate of Competence: This is issued on request by your European sailing authority and you should automatically qualify with certain national sailing qualifications.

RYA Qualifications: If you have the following qualifications you will typically be able to take a bareboat charter out of Thailand (but it is worth checking as per above), these include Day Skipper , Coastal Skipper ( *sail or motor endorsement) or Yachtmaster.

American Sailing Association (ASA): The ASA 104 Bareboat certificate is commonly accepted but also check as per above

US Sailing: The International Proficiency Certificate is widely accepted and The Bareboat Cruising Certificate is also accepted in many cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should i consider when hiring a catamaran.

The main points to consider are what is your budget, have you got the necessary sailing experience and qualifications to manage the boat if it's not going to have a skipper, whom you are taking sailing, where exactly you wish to go and what will the weather be like on the proposed dates of your trip.

Do you have to pay a deposit when hiring a Catamaran in Spain?

You will typically pay 50% up front on booking the catamaran hire and the balance on arrival. You will either pay a security deposit with your credit card on departure or can get insurance covering damage in advance. In some cases (such as the recent Covid situation) charter companies may be more flexible but this depends on the individual charter companies themselves.

What happens if my Catamaran breaks down?

If you are at sea and in danger, call MAYDAY on VHF Ch16 or ring the coast guard on your phone if you have reception. If you have a mechanical fault and can make it to or are on a mooring you will be able to phone a help line number given by the boat charter company and they can typically send someone from the charter base

What should I think of before I hire a Catamaran in Spain?

You should consider do you have the experience to handle the catamaran before you book and where do you want to go along with what the weather will be like. Bring warm weather and cool weather clothing if it looks like the weather can be cool as well as warm and remember at sea it can be cool in the evenings.

What Qualifications Do I need to hire a Catamaran?

If you want to sail without a skipper then you will need relevant qualifications like RYA Day Skipper/International Certificate of Competence (ICC)/ASA 104 Bareboat certificate or the US Sailing Certificate. If you choose to have a skipper on board your catamaran you won't require licences.

Spain Yacht and Catamaran Charter

We have incredible yachts and catamarans ready to sail from Barcelona, the Balearics & the Canaries.

Sailing around Spain

Whatever you want from a sailing holiday, you can almost certainly find it in Spain. Fine sunshine, brilliant food, happy and hospitable locals, and a massive variety of sailing opportunities - from bobbing around idyllic bays and calas to island-hopping in the Med to embracing the winds out in the Atlantic. There's plenty of wildlife to spot, and you'll never see so many stars in the sky as you can in the Canary islands.

Spain has a long and famous history of sailing (Christopher Columbus sailed for Spain, the world-beating Spanish Armada, etc…) and their islands are perfectly equipped for sea-farers to enjoy today. You'll find excellent marina facilities, cute and historic port towns, and authentic local culture - including local fisherman, flamenco dancers, freshly-cooked paella, and sangria on tap. A blissful week awaits, and we can help you find and book your ideal yacht or catamaran.  

 SAILING RATING:  Beginner / Intermediate - The Balearic islands (we have bases in Palma, Portocolom and Ibiza) and Barcelona on the mainland are in the sheltered cruising ground of the Mediterranean sea, and suitable for sailors of all abilities.

The Canary islands (our bases in Arrecife and Tenerife) are based in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, offer more challenging sailing, with stronger winds, and are better suited for people who have solid experience of how to handle a boat.

 WHEN TO GO:  The sailing season technically runs from March to November , with peak season being in July and August, but there's sunshine for much of the year, and there's great sailing to be had outside of the season.

 MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:  You'll need an ICC (which you can convert from an RYA DaySkipper or equivalent ) or above to charter a boat in Spain. If you're not qualified, we can find you a professional skipper .

 VISA REQUIREMENTS:  Spain is part of the EU , which means UK and EU passport holders can travel there at will. US and Australian passport holders do not need a visa unless planning to stay in Europe for longer than 90 days.

 GETTING THERE:  There are a number of airports right across Spain and the islands, which are all well connected to the rest of Europe as it is a popular tourist destination. There's also good rail, road, bus and ferry links to get you to our bases. We can help arrange transfers to or from the marina, as well as helping you get provisions on board if your flight arrives late at night.

In the Balearic islands , for Palma and Portocolom it's best to land in Palma International airport, from which you can get to Palma in 15 minutes or Portocolom in 35. Similarly, our base in Ibiza is only a 30 minute transfer from Ibiza airport, which connects all over Europe. There's a choice of three airports near to our base in Barcelona , the closest is the main El Prat international airport (a 25 minute drive away), but it's also possible to land at Girona airport (1h15 away) or Reus airport (1h35 away). In the Canary islands , you'll land practically in the marina if you fly to the main Tenerife airport, and it's just 11 minutes drive away once you've grabbed your bags. And our base in Arrecife is just 14 minutes drive from Lanzarote airport.

Where to sail in Spain

We charter yachts and catamarans from six bases in Spain - Palma and Portocolom in Mallorca and Ibiza in the Mediterranean Balearic islands, Barcelona on the mainland, and Tenerife and Arrecife in the Canary islands. See below for ideas of where to sail when you get there (But be sure to check out our detailed destination guides to find out more).

  PALMA, MALLORCA   Ideas of where to sail: There's relaxing times to be had in touring the many calas (bays) of Mallorca, and there are over 365 beaches! You can see them all by circumnavigating the 160 nM of Mallorca, or head up the (better) East coast to Menorca and back, visit the wilderness of Cabrera, or, if you're after more of a voyage, it's a 56 nM hop to Ibiza.

  PORTOCOLOM, MALLORCA   Ideas of where to sail: You're well-placed for exploring the superb East coast of Mallorca, with all it's incredible cliffs, bays and calas. Island-hop to nearby Menorca (less touristy, and even prettier than Mallorca), before returning via the wild islands of Cabrera to the South to get a taste of everything the area can offer.

  IBIZA   Ideas of where to sail: Ibiza is big enough for outstanding tranquillity, excellent beaches, beautiful calas and historic old towns - as well as late-night parties. A circular trip around the island is 60 nM, so you could expand it by hopping to nearby Formentera, which is largely off the beaten track and boasts pristine white sandy beaches over 6 miles long!

  BARCELONA   Ideas of where to sail: There's a choice of sailing South along the coast to Tarragona, once the capital of the Roman Empire, and the old town of Sitges, or North to the fortresses of Roses. En-route in either direction are brilliant beaches, cliffs, and coastal towns to explore.

  TENERIFE   Ideas of where to sail: There's blissful beaches, relaxing old towns and national parks to explore on Tenerife, or hop over to La Gomera to check out where Columbus set sail for America! If you're willing to put in the hours, it's also possible to sail to Gran Canaria or super-remote La Frontera.

  ARRECIFE, LANZAROTE   Ideas of where to sail: Head to Papagayo bay on the south coast of Lanzarote - arguably the best place to anchor and snorkel in the whole of the Canary islands, then hop to Fuerteventura and the wilderness of Los Lobos, named after the colony of monk seals there. Or sail to the North to the Chinijo archipalego, Europe's biggest national marine park, and play with the dolphins and whales - they love this place as much as you do!  

Cost of a Sailing Holiday in Spain?

Prices change depending upon what sort of boat you are chartering, and when you would like to charter, and yachting offers great value for money because the fee includes a full-day activity, a means of transport and your overnight accommodation!

Charters are normally in periods of a week, from Saturday (check-in at 5pm) to Saturday (check-out at 9am), though you're required to be back at the charter base on the Friday evening. You can charter a 3-cabin yacht for as little as €1,140/week (including end cleaning) , 4-cabin yacht from €1,250/week, or catamarans from €2,800/week - Use the pink box above for live prices and availability.

  In addition to the charter fee, there is an end-cleaning fee to be paid, and you'll need to leave a security deposit on check-in (similar to a hire car, and usually placed as a pre-authorisation on a credit card).  You also need to consider fuel and Mooring fees .

You can also add transfers, an outboard motor, early check-in, security deposit insurance or other extras to your booking (if they are not already included) for an additional fee.  We can also arrange for a Skipper , Hostess or Chef to be on board - in Spain, these normally cost an average of €1,260 per week, excluding tips.

Yacht Charter Spain

Why go sailing in spain.

Charter a yacht in Spain and find out why is this one of the most desirable sailing destinations in the world. It is extremely difficult to beat the diversity of Spain, a relatively small country which is surrounded by one ocean, two different seas and a vast number of diverse cultures, climates, and landscapes. If you’re looking for hot summers, mild winters and rough ocean sailing conditions - Spain is the place to go. However, if you’d like to spend a mild and chilly summer on an atoll, Spain is the best destination for it as well. Even if you want a tropical feel on your sailing holiday, a yacht charter in Spain can offer it too. 

Yacht charter in the Mediterranean Coast of Spain offers the opportunity for sailors to discover the Spanish culture at its best, through regions such as Valencia , Catalonia, and the Balearic Islands – Mallorca , Menorca , Ibiza & Formentera. Hop aboard your luxury yacht charter and spend some time in the picturesque and bohemian-like cities and towns of the area: Sitges, Cadaqués, Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, Peñíscola etc.  

Charter a yacht in the unspoilt northern coast of Spain , well known for the best food offer in southern Europe. Its intact green coastal landscapes of Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, and the Basque Country can only be matched with the landscapes of much colder places like Ireland and Scotland.  

The Canary Islands , archipelago of volcanic origins in the Atlantic are the place to go if you want to run away on your rental yacht from the cold European winter without leaving Europe.

Sailing Conditions in Spain

You can charter a yacht in Spain throughout the entire year . Both spring and autumn are great for sailing the Mediterranean - the weather is great, but you also have the advantage of escaping the big crowds that come to the area as soon as the summer starts. However, summer is the most popular time for chartering a yacht on the Balearic Islands. As well, a right time for yachting in the northern coast of Spain. Be careful, though, the Atlantic Ocean can get a bit rough at any time of the year and you might need to look for a haven in July or August as well.

If you want to rent a yacht in Spain during the winter, between November and February, the Canary Islands are the perfect choice. The climate is mainly sunny and warm , with temperatures very rarely going below  18°C all year round. Besides that, the sea temperature is constantly close to 22°C. There are three main types of climates on the Spanish Coast. Mediterranean Coast climate is characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, dry winters. The average temperature in the winter ranges between 5°C and 15°C, while going up to 26°C and 35°C during the yacht charter season. The sea temperature amounts to around 14°C in February and 25°C in August. Northern Spain climate is colder and much rainier, although the summer tends to be mild and sunny. The average temperature in the winter ranges between 5°C and 10°C, and between 15°C and 23°C during the summer, so keep that in mind if you want to charter a boat in Costa Verde. The sea temperature is around 10°C in February and 22°C in August.

Winds and tides.

The Spanish weather is fairly stable, but it can also be prone to winds , creating the perfect sailing conditions for those who want to embark on an adventure by boat. Borrasca is a thunderstorm or violent squall, especially in the Mediterranean and the Northern Part of Spain. It usually comes from NW, W. Chubasco is a rapid and strong downpour, it starts up very quickly but stops in a matter of minutes. It is quite common throughout the country. It doesn’t come from a specific direction.

Levante is a hot wind from E, NE, that can be especially strong in the Strait of Gibraltar, where the local conditions increase its power and speed. Another SW wind you will feel on your charter yacht in Spain is lebeche . This one coming from the Sahara, bringing elevated temperatures and sand from the desert. In the Canary Islands area, it is also known as calima . Galerna is stormy, hot, and very humid NW wind that arises unexpectedly on the north coast, especially during the summer season. Wind gusts can go up to more than 100 kilometres per hour. Tramontana originated in the French Central Massif and the Pyrenees, it is a N wind that blows strongly over the Balearic Islands and some parts of Catalonia. Sometimes it can reach speeds close to two hundred kilometres per hour. 

Normally, the heights of waves in the Mediterranean range between 0.5 and 1.5 m , and very rarely exceed 5 m. However, the Atlantic and Cantabria coasts are a whole different thing. There, waves can easily go beyond 10 meters during the winter. Actually, the biggest wave recorded in Spain was appeared near to Galicia and was 27,81 meters high.  

On the Mediterranean Coast, there are practically no tides . The Cantabrian Coast of Spain has a tidal range of 1 meter . On the Atlantic Coast (Galicia, Canary Islands) tidal range can go up to 2,8 m . 

You will hardly notice any sea currents on your charter yacht in the Mediterranean, but this changes on the Atlantic side of the Spanish coast. The Galician coast is under the influence of cold currents all year long, but the more east you sail, the warmer water you will get.

Sail the stunning Balearic Islands , visit Mallorca , and explore its rich history, amazing medieval architecture, eat in top rated restaurants and enjoy the amazing nightlife.

What types of luxury motor yachts can I charter in Spain?

There is a superb selection of luxury yachts for charter in Spain. Some of these include:

Displacement yachts for charter

Known for their stability and lower centre of gravity, a displacement yacht is the perfect vessel for long-distance cruising in various sea conditions on the Mediterranean Sea and causal cruising along the Spanish coast.

Planing yachts for charter

These yachts are designed for performance, agility, and responsiveness. They handle well at high speeds, offering a thrilling and dynamic experience for those on board a yacht charter in Spanish waters.

Semi-displacement yachts for charter

Semi-displacement yachts can operate efficiently at a range of speeds. At lower speeds, they behave similarly to displacement hulls, cutting through the water with less resistance, resulting in better fuel efficiency. As the speed increases, they transition to a partially planing mode, riding on the water surface rather than ploughing through it, allowing for increased speed without excessive power.

Trideck yachts for charter

Trideck yachts are known for their spaciousness, luxurious amenities, and the ability to provide various entertainment and relaxation options across multiple levels. These vessels cater to discerning clients seeking an elevated yachting experience in the Mediterranean.

Flybridge yachts for charter

The defining feature of a flybridge yacht is the raised deck above the main deck, often accessible via stairs or a ladder. This elevated space provides panoramic views of the surroundings, making it a popular area for socialising, dining, and enjoying the scenery.

Explorer yachts for charter

Explorer yachts have sturdy hulls and reinforced structures to withstand rough seas, ice conditions, and extended voyages. Their design emphasizes durability and safety for long-distance travel, making them ideal for those who wish to explore regions far from typical cruising grounds on a Spain luxury yacht charter.

Superyachts and mega yachts for charter

Superyachts and mega yachts are luxury vessels that exceed traditional yacht sizes, offering unparalleled comfort, amenities, and often extravagant features. They represent the pinnacle of luxury on the seas and are ideal for those who want to indulge in personalized service.

Multi-hull vessels for charter

The most common types of multi-hulls include catamarans and trimarans. Catamarans, in particular, are popular for chartering due to their stability, spaciousness, and comfort, making them an ideal choice for leisure cruising and vacations on the Spanish coast.

Your luxury yacht broker will provide an estimated APA based on your needs. The APA is paid before the charter, and the captain will use the funds to cover your day-to-day costs. Any funds left at the end of the charter will be immediately refunded to you, along with a full breakdown of all expenses. During your yacht charter experience, you are free to ask the captain for details of the APA, including what has been used and what remains. The APA typically costs around 10% of the base charter rate.

Its pleasant climate and natural beauty make Spain an attractive destination among tourists. Our article [...]

The Canary Islands have a pleasant subtropical climate, while there is a greater fluctuation on the Balearic Islands. It often rains in the summer, and the amount of precipitation is higher during the winter. Between the autumn and spring periods, stronger winds arrive, for instance, the Mistral, the Vendaval or the Sirocco. We recommend water enthusiasts visit Spain in the summer, and the autumn period is perfect for visiting the historic and natural sights.

The geographical location, as well as the orographic conditions of Spain, made its climate particularly diverse. Spain is the most climatically diverse country in Europe. Spain is characterized by the overlap of one fundamental climatic division (between humid and semiarid and arid zones) by another (the threefold division of the peninsula into maritime, continental, and mountain climates).Some regions can be very cold during the winter and extremely hot in the summer. The vast central plateau, or Meseta, has a more continental-influenced climate. On the Mediterranean coast, the climate is moderate with rain in spring and autumn. The Balearic Islands have a maritime climate, with cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers.

On the central and southern coast of the Mediterranean, the sun shines quite often even in winter. On the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and in the small Atlantic coastline of the Gulf of Cádiz winter is mild. Temperatures range between 20°C and 30°C. Wet periods are between September and October. The months of January until February provide the coldest time of the year. In comparison with the northern coast, the rains are rarer and sunshine is more frequent. This is due to the fact that the Mediterranean coasts of Spain, exposed as they are to the east and south, are relatively sheltered from Atlantic weather fronts. Along the Mediterranean coast and in the Balearic Islands, summer is hot and sunny, as is typical of the Mediterranean climate , the air is humid but sea breezes temper the heat during the day.

Summer is cool and quite rainy on the Atlantic coast, where even in July and August the sky is often covered with clouds, and the sea is not warm, barely touching 21 °C in August. The Coastal Mediterranean region is marked by Leveche winds: hot, dry, easterly or southeasterly air currents that originate over North Africa. The climate and landscape are determined by the Atlantic Ocean winds whose moisture gets trapped by the mountains circumventing the Spanish Atlantic coast. If you want more accurate/detailed information about the weather and wind conditions, select a region from the bareboat yacht charter in Spain destinations tab. Please search for the desired holiday destination within the region and you can find the weather tab under the city tab.

Explore historical Spain

Spain is a country with a rich and vibrant culture and history. Different empires ruled over the Iberian peninsula during different periods in time and each brought their own unique culture to shape the Spain we know today. There are plenty of historical sites you can visit all over the country. If you want to see some buildings that were built during more recent times, you should definitely visit La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona which was built in the late 19th century and Casa Batlló which is another of Gaudi’s architectural masterpieces.

Sailing conditions in Spain

The marine weather can vary depending on the time of year and the location you choose to visit in Spain.

As a whole, summers in Spain offer calm conditions though occasional thunderstorms and heavy downpours in the hottest months in July and August can occur.

The east coast of Spain is the perfect place for novice sailors or those seeking a more relaxing cruise as this area is more secluded and therefore protected from the stronger winds and rougher seas of the Atlantic.

While wind speeds tend to be low with an average of 6 knots, it also highly depends on the region you’re sailing in. Winds generally peak at 10 knots, especially when there are sudden gusts that you need to take into consideration. Winds are generally much stronger on the Atlantic coast than on the Mediterranean coast. It is also quite common for wind speeds to fluctuate throughout the day.

Swell is another thing you need to consider when planning a sailing holiday in Spain. The height of the swell is around 0.5 to 1 on an average day and the period varies. It can be anything from 2 to 3 seconds to well over 10.

Temperatures in mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands peak in August while the highest temperatures in the Canary Islands are reached in September and October.

How much does it cost to rent a boat in Spain?

A boat rental in Spain doesn’t have to break your bank. You can easily spend less than for a hotel room, making it one of the most affordable destinations for a boat holiday in Europe.

Charter a sailboat in Spain for an average price of just 68 EUR per person per day. If you plan on going on a day charter in Spain rather than a week-long boat holiday, you can always charter a RIB or a speedboat. They are not made for overnight trips. Rent a RIB in Spain at an average price of 54 EUR per person per day. Renting a speedboat in Spain will cost you 85 EUR per person per day on average. Renting a catamaran or motorboat in Spain comes at a higher price, but it’s well worth it. You get to enjoy all the amenities you could dream of. Renting a catamaran will cost you 111 EUR on average per person per day. Rent a motorboat in Spain at an average price of 179 EUR per person per day.

What type of boat is best for sailing in Spain?

It all depends on the type of boat holiday you envision for yourself in Spain. Do you want to relax on the beach and swim? Rent a boat with a shallow draft. Do you want to feel the wind on your skin and feel like an adventurer? Rent a sailboat and set your sail.

Rent a catamaran in Spain

Pros of renting a catamaran in Spain

Rent a catamaran in Spain for the most flexibility. You can either sail with the winds when they are strong enough or drive with the engine should the wind suddenly stop blowing. This doesn’t just give you a lot of flexibility, it also means that you won’t suddenly get stuck in the middle of the sea.

A catamaran rental in Spain is perfect for you if you want to explore the most beautiful beaches Spain has to offer. Different regions in Spain showcase different kinds of landscapes and give them their own unique appearance. As catamarans have a shallow draft, you can easily access all the stunning beaches you only know from photographs right now.

Charter a catamaran in Spain if you crave the comfort of a resort holiday, but want to stay on board a boat. When chartering a catamaran you won’t have to miss out on anything! The rooms are relatively spacious and the two hulls ensure that the catamaran won’t shake as much as a boat normally would. This is particularly convenient should the wind suddenly pick up. People who easily get seasick will also benefit from this.

Cons of renting a catamaran in Spain

One of the downsides of a catamaran rental in Spain is the size of a catamaran. While you might enjoy the extra space and comfort you get from staying on a boat this big, you will also experience the difficulties that come with it when trying to find a spot for mooring. It might be difficult to navigate your catamaran to its designated spot and in many marinas you have to pay extra for bigger boats.

Charter a catamaran in Spain

Rent a sailboat in Spain

Pros of renting a sailboat in Spain

Charter a sailboat in Spain if you want to experience a true adventure. The wind on your skin and the salt on your lips will certainly have this effect on anyone who has set their sail to travel around Spain.

A sailboat rental in Spain is perfect for anyone who wants to practice their sailing skills. As the winds and waters in the Mediterranean are not as rough and strong as in the Atlantic Ocean, beginners will particularly enjoy this experience. More experienced sailors can opt to go sailing in the Atlantic Ocean.

Rent a sailboat in Spain if you want to go on an environmentally-friendly boat holiday in Spain. As sailboats are only fueled by the wind you won’t create extra CO2 emissions on your sailing vacation in Spain .

Cons of renting a sailboat in Spain

One of the downsides of a sailboat charter in Spain is the fact that sailboats have a keel. This means that you won’t be able to sail close to the shore to explore the many hidden bays, beaches and coves the magnificent Spanish coast has to offer.

Another downside of a sailboat rental in Spain is the fact that sailboats are only fueled by the wind. Of course, this makes sailboats incredibly environmentally friendly, but it also means that you might suddenly get stuck in the middle of the sea should the wind stop blowing from one moment to the next.

Sailboat charter in Spain

Rent a motorboat in Spain

Pros of renting a motorboat in Spain

A motorboat rental in Spain is great, because you get to explore all the stunning beaches, magnificent coves and other hidden natural wonders along the Spanish coast. Motorboats have a shallow draft, so you can sail super close to the shore.

Another great thing about a motorboat charter in Spain is the fact that you get to drive from island to island, city to city or beach to beach as fast as possible. Motorboats are generally faster than other types of boats, making them ideal to explore Spain when you only have a limited amount of time available to do so.

Cons of renting a motorboat in Spain

One of the downsides of renting a motorboat in Spain is the fact that they solely run on fuel. This makes motorboats one of the most expensive options when it comes to a boat holiday in Spain . You could even expect a hefty bill in addition to your bareboat charter - just for the fuel you’re using on your trip.

Motorboat rental in Spain

Charter a luxury yacht in Spain

Places like Marbella, Mallorca and Ibiza naturally scream luxury vacation. While it might be unattainable for most to own a luxury yacht, renting one might be an option. While there are luxury yachts in Spain that you need to spend a couple of thousand euros on, there are also more affordable luxury yachts available to charter.

You will be happy to hear that most luxury yachts will come with a fully staffed crew, meaning that you really don’t have to lift a finger while on vacation. You will have someone on board who is going to navigate the boat and someone who is there to prepare all your meals and whatever else you need.

What kind of boat licence do you need when renting a boat in Spain?

Especially novice sailors will be happy to hear that you don’t need a boat licence in Spain to operate motorboats that are shorter than 5 metres or sailboats that are shorter than 6 metres. This is only possible for boats that cannot go faster than 15 hp. This might sound like a dream come true, but keep in mind that you can only operate these kinds of boats during the day when there is light. You are not allowed to operate any boat without a licence in Spain as soon as darkness falls.

The Licencia de Navegación allows you to operate boats that are no longer than 6 metres. However, keep in mind that you can only sail up to two miles away from the coast with this certification.

Sailing routes in Spain

Whether you choose to sail along the eastern, northern or southern coasts or opt for a boat rental in Spain, you’ll be sure to find white sandy beaches to take in the hot summer sun, picturesque towns and cities to enjoy top-notch cuisine and impressive cultural sites. The many beautiful and tempting options can be overwhelming but, once you decide on a sailing destination in Spain, we can help with the rest.

Island-hopping around the Spanish islands : Mallorca makes a great base for island hopping. From Palma de Mallorca, sail south to visit the islands of Ibiza and Formentera or sail to Menorca from Porto Colom.

Sail around the Balearic Islands:

The Balearic Islands are located off the eastern shores of Spain’s mainland, east of Valencia and southeast of Barcelona. The island group includes the main islands of Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, Formentera, and several smaller, unpopulated islands. The climate, scenery, and beaches are exceptional and the people have a reputation for being some of the most hospitable in the world. Despite the close proximity to each other, all of the islands have very diverse landscapes, historic buildings and food to offer.

The Canary Islands

A popular choice for more experienced sailors lies off the western shores of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean. Situated further south from Spain’s mainland are the Canary Islands. They might be further away from mainland Spain, but well worth a visit!

This island group also makes a great place to escape the winter blues, but you’ll also be able to enjoy sailing around this piece of paradise all year long. The seven larger islands make for a perfect sailing trip, giving you a chance to explore the diverse culture, fine food, and incredible landscapes while island hopping. One of the best starting points for a sailing holiday around the Canary Islands is Lanzarote. Sail south to Fuerteventura then on to Gran Canaria before stopping in Tenerife, one of the most popular destinations in the Spanish island group.

Kendall & Kylie Jenner Kick Off Vacation Season In Sheer Party Dresses

What else would Kendall and Kylie Jenner wear while atop a mega yacht other than sheer party dresses? Over the weekend, the Jenner sisters kicked off their summer vacation season in Mallorca, Spain with the help of a mega-yacht and some runway-level holiday looks.

Of all the locales Kendall and Kylie have worn sheer dresses in—from the Oscars after parties to Paris Fashion Week —under the Mallorcan heat is perhaps the most appropriate of them all. Kendall, who grabbed headlines last week for rekindling her romance with Bad Bunny , slipped into a nipple-baring lavender gown from New York brand Khaite’s fall 2023 collection. Her dress featured a sleeveless turtleneck bodice and exposed seams down the front. A mermaid-style maxi skirt added a touch of whimsy to the outfit as did Kendall’s metallic stud earrings and casual hairdo. “9pm sunsets” Kendall wrote on her Instagram in reference to the stunning skyline that backdropped her photo-op.

The Jenners’s styles have undergone a bit of a transformation over the past few years. Both sisters have embraced more pared-back, neutral looks—dare we say, Quiet Luxury—that lend themselves to muted dresses and logo-less separates. Still, even with their newly-found appreciation for stealth wealth, they aren’t toning down their appreciation for sheer dresses anytime soon.

Kylie, for her part, followed her older sister’s cue in some skin-baring moments of her own. Off the yacht, the Khy founder opted for an entirely see-through lace mini that featured long sleeves and a curve-hugging silhouette. While some would have utilized this vintage Jean Paul Gaultier dress as, say, a beachside cover-up, Kylie sported the piece solo and sans undergarments.

Like Kendall, Kylie went with minimal glam in the form of sun-kissed skin and tousled hairdo.

The influencer also indulged in another fashion girl pastime, side boob, while vacationing in the idyllic Spanish town. Kylie sizzled in a halter neck Paris Georgia dress that featured a plunging side detail and a fitted maxi skirt. Kylie’s vacation style didn’t end there, though—she also showed off a siren red Khaite gown , an unreleased Khy bikini set , as well as a sister-sister moment with Kendall in which they sang Billie Eilish’s new song “L’Amour de ma vie” while sipping on some Spanish beer. A time well spent by both.
