Welcome to our FAQ about day charters with crew in Mallorca and Ibiza. We have listed the most frequently asked questions and our answers for you. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Where are the yachts for day charters in the Balearic Islands?

On Mallorca we offer day charter yachts from Palma de Mallorca, Port Calanova, Puerto Portals, our home port Port Adriano and Port d'Andratx. On the sister island of Ibiza, the yachts are mainly offered from Ibiza Town.

How do you choose the perfect day charter yacht?

Finding the perfect crewed day charter yacht for your group depends mainly on your preferences in terms of design, water sports equipment and service, as well as your budget. The number of guests also plays an important role, as charter yachts in the Balearic Islands are generally approved for 9 to 12 guests. We will be happy to advise you. Simply let us know your criteria and we will be happy to suggest yachts that meet your requirements.

How do you choose the route?

We have prepared some route suggestions for your day charter on Mallorca, which you can find here. Some destinations can be perfectly combined with a visit to a restaurant or beach club for lunch, while others, such as Cabrera and Es Trenc, require catering on board your yacht. If you don't know which route to choose yet, just give us a call or write to us - we will be happy to advise you.

What time does a day charter start and end?

A day charter lasts 8 hours and usually starts at 10:00 (ends at 18:00), 10:30 (ends at 18:30) or 11:00 (ends at 19:00).

Are half-day charter flights offered?

In the early and late season, some day charter yachts offer the option of half-day charters (4 hours). Ask us and we will let you know the possibilities. In the high season, half-day charters are only offered if the boat is not booked for the next day.

How much fuel should be planned for a day charter?

Fuel consumption varies greatly from yacht to yacht and depends mainly on the route you are heading for. The speed of the vessel and the weather on the day of the charter also play an important role. On request, we can give you an estimate for the yacht and route of your choice.

How to book a day charter yacht?

Please let us know what type of yacht you are looking for, how many people you will be and your preferred dates and we will send you our available offers that match your requirements. If you choose one of the options, please let us know shortly and send us a copy of your ID and your billing address so that we can prepare the contract for you. Once the contract is signed by you and the other relevant parties, a deposit is due to secure the charter date. For some day charter yachts the deposit is 50% of the charter price excluding extras, for others full payment is required to secure the date. You will receive full details of the payment requirements as part of the contract.

What is the payment procedure for a day charter?

The deposit is paid after signing the contract, ideally by bank transfer to the account specified in the contract. For payments from the UK or USA, where international transfers can be challenging, we provide links for credit card payments using major credit cards (except Amex). Payments to be made on site at check-in can be made with major credit cards (except Amex). Fuel is to be paid directly at the gas station by credit card or cash.

What is included in the charter fee?

The charter fee includes boat rental, insurance and local VAT. For some boats, crew and final cleaning are also included, for other yachts this is shown as a mandatory extra. You can find this information on our website, in our offers and on the charter contract. On some yachts towels and some soft drinks are included, on others not, we will inform you in advance. Many yachts can accommodate additional water sports equipment which is listed as an optional extra and can be booked on request. Not included on all yachts is fuel on consumption and gratuities for the crew.

Is it customary to tip the crew?

Yes, tipping the crew is customary and the amount depends on your satisfaction with the charter.

What is an APA and how does it work?

Some of the larger day charter yachts operate with an APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) to cover incidental costs, payable by credit card or cash on embarkation. It mainly covers the cost of fuel and catering. All invoices are collected by the crew and presented to you, and the balance is reimbursed promptly. Please refer to your contract for further details.

What is a security deposit and how does it work?

When checking in in the morning, either at our office for yachts departing from Port Adriano or directly on the yacht, a deposit must be paid. The amount of the deposit varies depending on the yacht. The deposit is intended to cover any damage to the boat for which the guests are responsible.

How can I order catering and drinks?

We work with a number of partners who will deliver drinks, snacks and catering to your yacht before the charter. We will send you the order lists during the booking process and are happy to coordinate your orders. Payment is made directly to our partners.

Can I bring my own food and drinks on board?

Yes, of course. You are welcome to bring your own drinks and food on board the yachts. If possible, please prefer plastic bottles and containers to glass bottles and containers so that they do not cause damage to the boat if they fall and break.

What water sports equipment can be booked for day charter yachts?

In the exposés of our yachts you will find an overview of the water sports equipment included. In addition, Seabob, paddleboards, fliteboards and much more can be booked on most of our yachts. Ask us and we will send you a list of the available options.

What happens if the charter has to be canceled due to bad weather?

There is rarely bad weather in Mallorca in the high season. However, if it is not possible to make the day trip and your captain decides to cancel the charter for safety reasons, we will do our best to find an alternative date. If this is not possible, you will receive a refund.
