Did you know?

Although Mallorca and the rest of the Balearic Islands belong to Spain, they are administered by an autonomous government. This government has designated some stretches of coastline as marine protected areas, where diving or fishing is only allowed with a permit.

When is the best time for a catamaran rental in Mallorca?

The climate on the Mallorcan coast is pleasantly subtropical, with temperatures often between 24 °C and 30 °C onland in the summer months. Mallorca boasts approximately 300 days of sun a year. Precipitation is most frequent in the autumn months as the island sometimes experiences short but heavy downpours.

What are the sailing conditions like on the Balearic coast?

Water depths and tides on the coast of Mallorca

Unlike other less exposed areas of the Mediterranean, the swell can be particularly high around the Balearic Islands. Between March and June, the north wind Tramontana causes the swell to become high and steep. Even when there is no wind, a wind-based, old swell can occur.

Important climatic features: changing winds throughout the sailing season

If you are planning to rent a catamaran in Mallorca, it is important to be aware that the winds often change, depending on the time of year. Between March and June, you will encounter either the north wind Tramontana or the north-east wind Mistral. However, in July and August, you will find easterly to south-easterly winds instead. Following this, in September and October, Mistral and Tramontana become dominant once again. Winter, on the other hand, is mostly windless.

Wind conditions in Mallorca

Due to the ever-changing nature of the wind, you will experience the best wind conditions for a catamaran charter from June to September. The prevailing summer wind is from the east-southeast, which normally starts around noon and measures from three to six BFT. This then dies down as evening approaches.

What exciting sites are there to see on your catamaran rental in Mallorca?

La Seu, Palma’s Gothic Cathedral

The construction of the cathedral began in 1230, but it was not until the 16th/17th century that it was completed. However, it is due to the work of Antoni Gaudi that the cathedral appears in its present form.

Palau de Almudaina

This palace is a former Arab fortress and boasts beautiful gardens which are perfect for long walks or for relaxing.

Es Trenc

Visit Mallorca’s most beautiful and best-known beach and enjoy a day of ultimate relaxation as you splash around in the sea and chill out on the sand. To access this beach during your catamaran rental, anchor at Ses Covetes.

Es Baluard, the Museum of Modern Art in Palma

Located near the harbour, the museum was built in a modern style and incorporates the walls of the 16th century San Pere fortress. The café and restaurant can be found on the battlements of the bastion and feature stunning panoramic views over the port of Palma.

Mercat de l'Olivar

Don’t miss out on a trip Palma’s largest and most centrally located indoor market which is situated on Placa Olivar. The Santa Catalina market (in the former fishermen’s quarter) is known for its tapas and also for its bodegas which offer wine straight from the barrel.

Cuevas del Drac (Dragon Caves), Porto Christo

These stalactite caves are located approximately two kilometres from the harbour. A visit to the caves will take about an hour and includes a classical concert and a boat trip across Lake Martel.

Port de Sóller

Board the historic railway and travel through the middle of the Serra de Tramunta to Sollér. After this, take the old tram to the Puerto de Sollér port and spend the day relaxing in one of the many cafés and restaurants or strolling along the wondrous harbour. You can also anchor your catamaran here and take a trip from the port to Palma.

What to be aware of when renting a catamaran in Mallorca

In order to operate a catamaran in the Balearic Islands, you need the International Certificate of Competence for Inland and Coastal Waters or the Sport-coastal Ship-licence (SKS/BR).

From the airport it is a 20 minute drive to the port in Palma. It takes a little longer to get to Pollensa (45 minutes) and Porto Colom (60 minutes).
