The Balearics: Island Hopping with Mediterranean Style

The Balearics: Island Hopping with Mediterranean Style

The Balearic Islands offer one of the most dynamic and versatile cruising grounds in the Western Mediterranean. From the iconic nightlife of Ibiza to the tranquil anchorages of Formentera, the rugged cliffs of Mallorca, and the unspoiled charm of Menorca, the region is best to be explored by yacht.

Yachting here combines vibrant culture with striking natural beauty. Chartering in the Balearics allows you to start the day with watersports in a secluded cove and end it at a world-class marina with dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Your captain and crew tailor the journey to your preferences, blending high-profile destinations with quiet hideaways.
