YACHT CHARTER IN THE BALEARIC ISLANDS FOR OVER 30 YEARS
YACHT CHARTER IN THE BALEARIC ISLANDS FOR OVER 30 YEARS
If there's one type of vessel built for enjoying the Mediterranean with company, it's the catamaran. Space, stability, a deck that feels like a floating terrace, and the ability to swim from any cove with ease. Catamaran rental in Mallorca has become one of the favourite options for families, groups of friends, and companies looking to spend an unforgettable day or several at sea this summer 2026.
Unlike a monohull sailing boat, a catamaran has two hulls that provide far greater stability. This means virtually zero rocking, even at anchor, making it the ideal choice for anyone prone to seasickness or for families with young children.
What's more, catamaran hire in Mallorca offers advantages few other vessels can match:
- Huge outdoor space: bow nets, aft decks, and sun loungers that allow large groups to relax comfortably without feeling cramped.
- Easy water access: rear platforms make swimming, snorkelling, or hopping onto a paddleboard far easier than on a traditional sailing boat.
- Capacity for large groups: perfect for hen and stag parties, birthdays, corporate events, or simply large family gatherings.
- Shade and comfort: most catamarans come with awnings, shaded areas, and comfortable outdoor furniture ideal for the hottest days of July and August.
For summer 2026, renting a catamaran in Mallorca means comfort without giving up the authenticity of sailing and discovering coves with no road access.

A catamaran rental in Mallorca typically includes the vessel's insurance, a professional skipper, certified safety equipment, and basic snorkelling gear. Fuel, on-board catering, and extras (such as inflatables, additional paddleboards, or photography services) are usually charged separately.
Booking tip: July and August are the busiest months in Mallorca, and catamarans — especially the larger models — are among the first to be booked up due to their popularity with large groups. Booking 1-2 months in advance is highly recommended.
One of the great advantages of a catamaran is that its stability and space make it perfect for both short excursions and multi-day voyages. Here are some of the most popular routes:
Perfect for a half-day trip departing from Club de Mar or Real Club Náutico de Palma. Calm waters, views of the Cathedral and the Serra de Tramuntana, with the option to anchor off Illetes or Portals Vells beaches for a swim.
Departing from Club Náutico El Arenal or Cala d'Or, this route takes in some of Mallorca's most photographed beaches. Es Trenc, with its turquoise waters and white sand, is one of the island's biggest draws.
Perfect for those seeking deep-water coves and dramatic cliffs. The Mondragó Natural Park area offers some of the most spectacular anchorages in the Mediterranean, ideal for spending the day on a catamaran with your group.
Departing from Club Náutico de Alcúdia or Club Náutico Port de Pollença, this route combines sheltered waters perfect for catamarans with the chance to approach the imposing Cap de Formentor, one of the island's most iconic landscapes.
For those with a full week, renting a catamaran with a skipper allows you to explore the entire island, combining harbours, untouched coves, and coastal villages — without having to unpack each night. One of the most complete experiences nautical Mallorca has to offer.
- Sailing catamaran: Quieter, more eco-friendly, and with that extra sense of adventure that comes from sailing under canvas. Ideal for longer voyages and for those who enjoy the act of sailing itself.
- Motor catamaran: Greater speed and flexibility to cover more distance in less time. Very popular for day trips with several swimming stops.
Both options are available with a skipper, so a sailing licence is not required for either.
No, as long as the rental includes a skipper — which is the most common and recommended option. A professional skipper takes care of all the navigation, so no qualification is needed. If you hold a valid sailing licence and have experience, a bareboat (no skipper) option is also available for certain models.
It depends on the size of the boat. Catamarans between 10 and 12 metres usually carry 8 to 10 people, those between 13 and 15 metres carry 10 to 12, and the larger models can host groups of up to 15-20 people on day trips. Check the listing for each vessel's exact capacity and legal passenger limits.
A half-day rental (typically 4 to 5 hours) is perfect for a quick outing with time for one or two swimming stops. A full day (7 to 8 hours) lets you explore several coves, eat on board or ashore, and enjoy the trip at a more relaxed pace. For large groups or special events, the full-day option is usually the most cost-effective.
Yes, most catamaran rental companies in Mallorca offer the option of adding catering, ranging from snacks and drinks to full menus prepared by local chefs. It's a very popular add-on for celebrations and corporate events.
Safety always comes first. If weather conditions don't allow for sailing, the skipper will make the final call. In these cases, it's standard to offer a date change at no extra cost or a refund, depending on the booking conditions. We recommend checking the cancellation policy when booking.
Summer (June to September) offers the best sea conditions and temperatures, with July and August as the busiest months. If you're after a quieter experience and better rates, June and September are an excellent alternative, with similarly pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds at the most popular coves.
For July and August dates, especially weekends and larger catamarans, we recommend booking at least 1-2 months in advance. For large groups or special events, the sooner the better, as availability for the most popular models fills up quickly.
Few experiences capture the spirit of a Mediterranean summer better than a day on board a catamaran: sunshine, crystal-clear water, great company, and the freedom to choose your own route between the island's most beautiful coves. Whether you're after a one-day getaway with friends or a full week exploring Mallorca, **catamaran rental** is one of the most versatile and enjoyable nautical experiences the Balearics have to offer.
