Route

Island-hopping - Mallorca, Ibiza and Formentera

DAY 1 FROM PALMA TO PORT D'ANDRATX (23 NAUTICAL MILES)

You start the day in Palma de Mallorca and pick up your yacht. If you still want to buy supplies, Palma offers plenty of opportunities for this. Take your time for an extensive breakfast and enjoy the anticipation of the trip. Then make your way to the first destination: Port d'Andratx.

You will pass the popular three-fingered bay of Cala Portals Vells. With its small beaches, beach bars and restaurants, it is a popular excursion destination. There are no shallows in the direct bay inlet and the bottom consists of sand with lots of seaweed. An alternative to the lively bay is a stopover in Cala Figuera. It lies between high mountains and offers beautiful anchorages with water depths of around 10 meters. The picturesque scenery of the bay invites you to go for a swim and enjoy the sun before setting off again.

Once you arrive at the former fishing port, you can enjoy the wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. The harbour impresses with its original charm: Port D'Andratx is far away from mass tourism and is characterized by its naturalness. You can sit down in one of the many fishermen's pubs and watch the local fishermen go about their daily lives over a glass of beer. You can shop to your heart's content in the small local boutiques or, if there is still time, go diving in the bay of Andratx.

DAY 2 FROM PORT D'ANDRATX TO IBIZA CITY (45 NAUTICAL MILES)

After you have fortified yourself for the day in Port d' Andratx, you set off for Ibiza. The route takes you across the open sea. However, if you arrive on the south coast of the island, you can make a few stops at the nearby bays. The bay of Cala Llonga, for example, is surrounded by high cliffs. You can go swimming and diving here. In the bay itself there are many restaurants and supermarkets as well as a pharmacy.

Once you arrive in Ibiza Town, head for one of the five marinas in the large harbor basin. Here you should make sure that you have reserved a berth, as the marinas are particularly busy in the summer months. Ibiza Town has a well-developed infrastructure, which means that the town is always buzzing with activity. In the evening, you can round off the day in one of the many restaurants and bars. Our recommendation: the Oliu restaurant. Here you are offered creative interpretations of Mediterranean specialties prepared with regional and seasonal ingredients.

DAY 3 FROM IBIZA CITY TO SANT ANTONI DE PORTMANY (32 NAUTICAL MILES)

Take the time you need to replenish your supplies and enjoy a hearty breakfast. Because you have 32 nautical miles ahead of you, dotted with many beautiful bays. Cala Portinatx, for example. Here you can take a break on the three large sandy beaches and enjoy a snack in the local restaurants and bars. If you prefer something more sporty, take the time to go diving or snorkeling in the clear water.

Once you have arrived in Sant Antoni de Portmany, you can moor at one of the more than 900 berths, all of which are supplied with water and electricity. The marina is monitored 24 hours a day, so you can leave the boat to explore the town with peace of mind. In the evening, you can celebrate with other guests over a few pints of beer in the popular pub district or round off the evening in one of the many restaurants.

DAY 4 FROM SANT ANTONI DE PORTMANY TO LA SAVINA (22 NAUTICAL MILES)

After a relaxed start to the day, you can check your supplies again and stock up if necessary. You then continue to the Spanish port of La Savina on Formentera. On the way, you will pass various bays, such as Cala Bassa. The spacious bay is surrounded by a shallow cliff and has a sandy beach to the southwest. Anchoring is possible just 10 meters from the popular bathing beach. With pleasant music and a stylish ambience, you can enjoy Mediterranean specialties at the Cala Bassa Beach Club and be pampered by the attentive service.

There are a number of small bars and restaurants around the port of La Savina, which serve typical Mallorcan dishes in a relaxed atmosphere. If you prefer a quieter atmosphere, stock up on snacks and drinks for the evening in one of the local supermarkets and enjoy the picturesque view across to Ibiza and Es Vedra on the yacht. Our tip: Make sure you stock up on supplies. Because there is almost no opportunity to do so the next day.

DAY 5 FROM LA SAVINA TO CABRERA (60 NAUTICAL MILES)

Take the time for an extensive breakfast, as the longest stretch of the trip lies ahead of you: It's off to the goat island of Cebrera. Make sure you have refueled, as there are no facilities for this on the goat island. The route takes you mostly along the sea path before you discover the first coastal points of the island. The views from the coasts are already spectacular. Once you arrive at the island's buoys, you have time to discover the nature-protected island. It is not without reason that the island is called "Mallorca's true treasure". We recommend taking one of the guided tours to appreciate the beauty of the island in its entirety. In the evening, you can share your impressions with other guests at the island's only bar before heading back on board.

As anchoring is only possible at buoys on Cabrera, you should definitely reserve in advance(http://www.reservasparquesnacionales.es/). The buoys can be reserved exactly 20 days before the desired date. As these buoys are very popular, this should also be done in good time.

DAY 6 FROM CABRERA TO PALMA (25 NAUTICAL MILES)

Get a good night's sleep, as the last stage with its 25 nautical miles can be completed in peace and quiet. You leave Cabrera via the north and slowly make your way back to Palma. With a short detour, you can visit the bay of Cala Pí, which lies to the east of Cab Blanco. The fjord-like coastline is impressive and offers another opportunity to capture some vacation memories on camera. The beach of Cala Pí lies deep in the wooded gorge. The bright and well-kept sandy beach offers fantastic water conditions and is perfect for swimming and snorkeling. A snack can be enjoyed at the local chiringuito, which also offers cocktails and drinks.

In the evening, we return to Palma, where our team picks up the yacht. Now you have the opportunity to review the trip in the local restaurants and bars. We recommend the Forn de Sant Joan restaurant, which offers a successful combination of rustic ambience and sophisticated, international cuisine.
