The Balearic Islands Yacht Charter

Four islands. No two the same.

A Balearic Islands yacht charter is defined by island-hopping, short Mediterranean passages, clear-water bays and a range of experience that moves from Mallorca’s Gothic cathedral and UNESCO mountain range to Ibiza’s clubs, Formentera’s Caribbean-clear water and Menorca’s protected biosphere coves. Routes are shaped around your pace, whether that means vibrant nightlife and dining ashore or quiet anchorages and unhurried swim days onboard.

Princess Yacht Charter curates each luxury yacht charter in the Balearic Islands around your timing and preferences, carefully matching yacht, crew and itinerary to your group so the experience feels seamless from embarkation to return.

Why The Balearic Islands remains a
charter favourite

The Balearic Islands are one of the Mediterranean’s most versatile cruising regions, where short crossings between four distinct islands mean more time swimming, dining and exploring ashore.
The contrast between Ibiza’s lively harbours and Formentera’s near-empty beaches allows itineraries to move naturally between energy and calm. In peak summer, Ibiza’s marinas and the popular Formentera anchorages fill quickly, which is why local insight and thoughtful planning are essential.

Day 4
Ibiza to Es Caló, Formentera
