Whether you’re seeking high-end dining, discreet relaxation, or vibrant nightlife, your yacht offers effortless access—with every detail curated in advance by your crew and the Althaus Yachts charter team.

1. What is the ideal yacht size for chartering the Balearics?
   The region accommodates yachts from 24m family-style vessels to 70m+ superyachts. Shallow-draft yachts are particularly suited to anchorages in Formentera and Menorca. Larger yachts often anchor offshore and use tenders for seamless guest access.
2. What are the best marinas in the Balearics for superyachts?
   Top marinas include Marina Ibiza, Port Adriano, Club de Mar Palma, and Port Mahón. These facilities offer high-end amenities, excellent shore access, and proximity to top restaurants, clubs, and shopping districts.
3. Can I attend exclusive events or nightlife in the Balearics by yacht?
   Yes. Ibiza is internationally recognized for its nightlife and summer events. We arrange VIP access to venues such as Ushuaïa, Lío, and Pacha, along with mooring reservations, onboard hospitality, and private transfers—all discreetly managed.
4. What are the most popular cruising routes?
   Popular itineraries include Palma > Menorca > Ibiza > Formentera, or focused routes between Ibiza and Formentera for shorter trips. Cruising times are short—typically 2 to 6 hours—allowing for relaxed, flexible movement between anchorages.
5. What can I expect onboard?
   Onboard features may include: expansive sun deck, jacuzzi, beach club, Seabobs, jet skis, paddleboards, diving equipment, spa area, private massage room, hair salon, open-air cinema, cigar lounge, barbecue areas, infinity pool and fully equipped gym.
6. How far in advance should I book?
   We recommend booking 2-6 months ahead for summer charters. Peak weeks in July and August fill quickly, especially for larger yachts and prime berths in Ibiza and Palma. Short-notice charters are possible, subject to availability.
