Chartering a yacht in Mallorca starts at €550 for a private day on a smaller boat, and runs from €1,936 to €17,150 a day across our crewed fleet, depending on length. Fuel is always billed separately, at actual consumption, and no boat licence is needed — the skipper comes included.
01How much a yacht costs per day, by type
The entry option is a private day on a smaller boat: from €550 to €860 depending on the experience, for 1-3 guests. It's the most affordable way onto the water for a single day, skipper included, without the size of a large yacht.
If you want a proper crewed yacht, the range moves up: our curated reference fleet — 11 yachts — runs from €1,936 a day (Fjord 44) to €17,150 a day (Azimut Grande 32). A Pershing 72, for instance, sits around €5,900 a day. The public catalogue is wider, with close to 179 boats listed, but those 11 are what we recommend as a starting point.
Price mainly depends on length and the crew it carries: the more metres and the more staff aboard (deckhand, hostess, chef), the higher the day rate climbs. We help you pick the yacht that fits your group and your budget, not the priciest one in the catalogue.
02What's included and what's billed separately
The day rate always includes the yacht and its base crew: a skipper, and depending on length, a deckhand, hostess or chef. You don't manage any of that — you just decide the day's plan.
Fuel is always billed separately, at the day's actual consumption. A short run out to anchor in a cove burns little; a long passage under power, a good deal more. No serious operator folds it into a fixed rate, because it depends on how you sail that day.
On multi-day charters, the APA (provisioning fund) is added: typically 25-35% on top of the boat price, itemised line by line — food, mooring fees, extras — with the unused balance returned at the end. It's real money managed against receipts, not a fixed commission.
03How the price changes with the season
The sailing season in Mallorca runs from May to October. July and August see the highest demand: yachts book up weeks in advance and prices sit at their highest point of the year.
Late May, June and September are mid-season: the same good weather and warm sea, but with quieter coves and lower prices than high summer. It's the window we recommend if you want room to book without paying peak rates.
October closes the season with days still warm enough, better suited to a single day out than a full week. Outside these six months, operations wind down and it isn't the window we run charters in.
04Single day vs a full week: which suits you
A single day — from €550 in the entry option, or from €1,936 on a crewed yacht — makes sense if you want to try the experience, mark a one-off occasion, or simply have one free day in your trip.
A full week (villa + yacht + chef + transfers) runs from €15,000 to €60,000, more on premium proposals. It suits you if you have the time, want different islands or coves each day, and prefer one team and one invoice instead of coordinating each service separately.
Either way, you don't need a boat licence: this is a crewed charter, the skipper is aboard and runs the boat. Only a bareboat charter — not our model — would ask for a valid qualification.
How much does it cost to charter a yacht in Mallorca?
From €550 for a private day on a smaller boat (1-3 guests), and from €1,936 to €17,150 a day across our crewed fleet, depending on length and crew size. Fuel is always billed separately, at actual consumption.
Does the yacht price include fuel?
No. Fuel is always billed separately, based on the day's actual consumption. A short run out to anchor burns little; a long passage under power, a good deal more. This is standard practice on crewed charters.
What is the APA and when is it paid?
The APA is the provisioning fund on multi-day charters: typically 25-35% on top of the boat price, itemised line by line, with the unused balance returned at the end. It covers food, mooring fees and the trip's extras.
Do I need a boat licence to charter a yacht in Mallorca?
No. Our model is crewed charter: the skipper is aboard and runs the boat, so you need no nautical qualification at all. Only a bareboat charter would require a valid licence, and that isn't the service we offer.
