What is the best time to hire a boat in Palma de Mallorca?

The summer is one of the best times to rent a boat in Mallorca. With little to no rain and hot sunny days, there is nothing better than sunbathing on a boat and taking a dip in the warm but refreshing waters. The temperatures tend to be between 25°C to 30°C from June to August.

However, with perfect sailing conditions comes crowds and high prices. Therefore, for a more peaceful experience, we recommend a yacht charter in Mallorca in the months of April, May, September, October, and November. The weather is still warm, with temperatures ranging from 18°C to 25°C, but the crowds are fewer and the prices are lower.

Rent a boat in Palma de Mallorca with or without a skipper.

If you have the appropriate boating or sailing licence, you might prefer to have a Palma de Mallorca yacht rental without a skipper. You can also hire a boat in Mallorca that doesn’t require a licence. However, it is always recommended having a skipper or crew on board to enhance your sailing experience. Typically, there are extra costs associated with having a skipper on board, but it is well worth it to sail without a worry in the world, knowing you are in safe hands.

Skippers are sailing experts who handle everything from docking and anchoring to navigating the vessel, so you don’t have to worry about anything but enjoying Mallorca. The best part is that they are usually locals, and can give you tips about where to go and what to do on your Palma de Mallorca boat rental so that you have an unforgettable experience!
