The Balearics offer a perfect mix of vibrant island life, clear anchorages and reliable summer sailing conditions. Located just off Spain’s east coast in the Mediterranean Sea, the archipelago includes four main islands—Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera—each with its own character.

Mallorca boasts dramatic mountain-backed coastlines and sophisticated harbours; Ibiza combines bohemian charm with world-famous nightlife; Formentera is all about crystal-clear shallows and low-key beaches; and Menorca offers a quieter, greener experience with pristine coves and sheltered bays.

Chartering in the Balearics gives you access to stunning Mediterranean sailing without long passages between stops. With warm waters, modern marinas, great provisioning options and plenty of anchorages, it’s easy to build a flexible itinerary whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation or cultural discovery.
