While the Balearics are known for world class party spots, a luxury yacht charter in the Balearic Islands goes far beyond Ibiza’s nightclubs. These Spanish islands offer some of the best beaches in the world, long sweeping bays and a myriad of different islands, each with its own unique identity. Rent a crewed motor or sailing boat with YPI to have the best cruising possible in the Balearic Islands. This is an example of an eight day yacht charter itinerary for the Balearics, including the stunning beauty of Menorca. Yacht charter itineraries are created individually for every client based around personal preferences and how you want to spend your time onboard your superyacht in the Balearic Islands.
Start your superyacht charter with a welcome cocktail and sumptuous lunch prepared by the yacht’s chef. Explore the old town with its historic cathedral and 16th century citadel walls. Go shopping in the maze of stone alleyways or hit the beach for sunbathing or watersports. Head back to your yacht to prepare to party. Start off at Kyupiddo, a Japanese fusion restaurant overlooking the port, for dining with a view, then head to one of Ibiza’s top nightclubs and dance until dawn.
Wake up to the peace and calm of Formentera. Enjoy a late breakfast then spend the whole day lazing on one of the many deserted beaches. Take a yoga session on the pure white sand or go snorkelling in the clear waters and exquisite reefs. Choose between either the popular Es Moli de Sal on Playa Illetas and the Gecko Club on Playa Migjorn, both of which are perfectly positioned for watching the sun sink below the skyline over martinis. Enjoy dinner onboard your motor or sailing boat while sitting at anchor soaking in your holiday surroundings.
Visit the island of Dragonera, designated a Natural Reserve in 1995. Cruise up the coast in your private motor or sailing boat for lunch in Ca's Patro March, the over-sea restaurant featured in the BBC’s acclaimed series ‘The Night Manager’. Head off for a round of golf at Son Gual, one of the most exclusive golf courses on the island, and rejoin your yacht in Puerto Pollenca on Mallorca’s northeast coast. Paddleboard at sunset with your GoPro then have dinner at Argos, another Michelin starred restaurant.
Once the capital of Menorca, Ciutadella is a grand historical city with a pretty harbour surrounded by beautiful coves and beaches. Try Cala Mitjaneta, a clear blue cove with high cliffs either side accessible only by sea and therefore ideal for a superyacht charter. Alternatively, Cala Macarelleta or Cala Turqueta are breathtaking and Cala Pregonda's marine reserve has great snorkelling. Start the evening with a pomada, the local cocktail of gin and lemonade, then sample the island's speciality, Caldereta de Langosta, a type of lobster stew.
Stop en route south at Canyamel, a pretty town with lots of small bays. Get out the superyacht's water toys or snorkel in the crystal clear water. Explore Hell, one of the caves in the fascinating Cuevas de Arta, so called because of its rocks resembling monstrous animals and its hellish, magical quality. Take in the view as you arrive in Cala d’Or, a seaside village overlooked from a distance by the medieval Castel Santeuri, and paddleboard or kayak in its many inlets. Stroll around the marina and choose one of its waterside restaurants for dinner.
Wake up in Palma de Mallorca on your final morning for a champagne breakfast onboard your motor or sailing boat, followed by a visit to the glorious 13th-century Gothic cathedral. If time allows before your onward flight, experience a gastronomic lunch at the restaurant of the Hotel Convent de la Missió under Michelin starred chef Marc Fosh. Alternatively, try La Boveda, a traditional tapas bar near the harbour, for your last taste of Spain.
