Balearics - Yacht Charter

In spite of a high Spanish tax, the Balearic Islands have never lost their popularity, but charter yachts sailing the Mediterranean stopped avoiding them only after the recent cancellation of that tax. This reform has made the islands accessible to chartering and the number of yachts sailing there has grown by fifty percent. Each island has its own distinctions, though 300 days of sunny weather per year, bright blue waters, and the bewitching beauty of nature tie together the four main islands that form the Balearics.

The largest of the islands is Mallorca with its chief city of Palma. For decades, Palma has been a center of yachting activities and though crowds of tourists frequent Mallorca, there are lonely anchorages that can only be reached by yacht beyond the city. The neighboring island of Menorca may be less frequented, but it has more beaches than Ibiza and Mallorca in total. A lot of Menorca’s beaches are secluded for yacht exploration and since Menorca is one of the Stone Age relics protected by UNESCO, a shore excursion is advisable.

Ibiza is an island of parties that is famous for its nocturnal entertainment. There are many ideal quiet places for relaxation along the rugged coastline, along with gorgeous restaurants for you to eat at. Tranquility and miles of beaches are intrinsic to the small island of Formentera, unlike the buoyant style of life on Ibiza. Soaking in the southern sun, swimming in crystal clear water, or dancing until dawn – all these things are available to you at the sunlit Balearics and you can enjoy it all when you sail on board your private charter yacht.
