What Is a Skippered Catamaran Rental?
Renting a catamaran with a skipper in Mallorca means booking the vessel together with a certified professional skipper who joins the crew. The skipper holds legal responsibility for the boat and everyone on board, which means you can sail with no nautical qualification whatsoever.
It's the perfect option for:
- Families with children who want to enjoy the sea safely and stress-free.
- Groups of friends looking for a different experience without any complications.
- Hen and stag parties after a memorable day on the water.
- Corporate events that need an exclusive setting out at sea.
- Couples or small groups who want to explore coves unreachable by road.
The skipper doesn't just navigate: they know the best seasonal coves, the quietest anchorages, and the secret spots along Mallorca's coastline that don't appear in any travel guide.
Why Choose a Catamaran Over Other Boats
A catamaran is the ideal vessel for groups that prioritise comfort and space. Its twin hulls provide exceptional stability, virtually no rocking, even in open water, making it the top choice for anyone prone to seasickness.
Add to that a set of advantages few other vessels can match:
- Wide deck and relaxation areas: bow nets, stern sun loungers, and shaded spots for everyone.
- Easy water access: stern platforms at sea level, perfect for swimming, snorkelling, or paddleboarding.
- Capacity for large groups: depending on the model, between 8 and 20 people in total comfort.
- Spacious interior saloon: for lunch, shelter from the wind, or simply a rest.
- Stability at anchor: ideal for eating on board, playing in the water, and relaxing without movement.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I rent a catamaran in Mallorca without a sailing licence?
Yes. With a skippered catamaran rental, no nautical qualification is required. The professional skipper is the legal responsible for the vessel and handles all navigation.
What's the difference between renting with a skipper and bareboat?
A crewed charter (with skipper) is designed for those without a sailing licence, or those who simply prefer not to worry about the sailing. A bareboat charter (without skipper) is reserved for sailors holding a valid official licence and proven experience.
How many people can come on board?
Depending on the size of the catamaran, between 8 and 20 people on day trips. Check the listing for each model for the exact legal passenger capacity.
Is fuel included in the price?
In most cases, fuel is paid separately at the end of the day based on actual consumption. Some full-day packages do include it — ask when booking to be sure.
Can I add catering on board?
Yes. We offer the option of on-board catering, from snacks and drinks to full menus prepared by local suppliers. Perfect for celebrations and corporate events.
How far in advance should I book?
For July and August dates, especially weekends and larger catamarans, we recommend booking at least 1 to 2 months in advance. For large groups or special events, the sooner the better.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Safety always comes first. If conditions are not suitable for sailing, the skipper will make the call. In that case, a date change at no extra cost or a refund will be offered according to the contract terms.
