A one week skippered sailing holiday from Palma along the Tramuntana coast, with stops at Sa Dragonera, Sant Elm and the sheltered harbour of Port de Sóller.
This one week cruise starts from Palma, the capital of Mallorca, and explores the western and northwestern coast of the island with a captain on board, where the Tramuntana mountains meet the sea. The route links the Bay of Palma, the islets of Malgrats, Sa Dragonera and the harbour of Port de Sóller in a looping itinerary that stays close to the coast.
Distances are short to medium, usually between ten and twenty nautical miles a day, which leaves time to swim, snorkel and linger over lunch at anchor. The longest passage runs along the northern cliffs to Port de Sóller, where a free day gives guests a chance to explore ashore or to sail on to Deià.
The scenery changes every day: white limestone coves near Palma, pine covered islets, the steep cliffs of the Tramuntana and the green bay of Sóller with its orange groves. Anchorages are clear and sheltered in typical summer conditions, with sandy and rocky bottoms ideal for snorkelling.
Ashore, the route combines the old town of Palma and its cathedral with the fishing harbour of Sant Elm, the elegant marina of Port d’Andratx and the historic tram of Sóller. Each stop offers local restaurants where the catch of the day and Mallorcan specialities are on the menu.
On board the day follows an easy rhythm: breakfast on deck, a morning sail, a swim before lunch and a quiet evening under the stars. With the captain taking care of navigation and mooring, it is a holiday for groups of friends or families who simply want to enjoy the water.
Itinerary
Day1
Boarding in Palma and the Bay of Palma
Boarding takes place at the marina in the heart of Palma, facing the cathedral and the old town. After meeting the captain, settling into the cabins and a safety briefing, the catamaran leaves the harbour and crosses the Bay of Palma to the first anchorage at Cala Portals Vells, a small cove of white rock and turquoise water, for a swim and a first dinner on board.
Day2
Cala Portals Vells to Port d’Andratx
The captain follows the southwest coast of Mallorca, passing Santa Ponça and the small islands of Malgrats, a marine reserve with clear water that is perfect for snorkelling. The day ends in Port d’Andratx, a sheltered harbour lined with restaurants where the evening is spent ashore.
Day3
Sa Dragonera and Sant Elm
A short sail leads to Sa Dragonera, the natural park island at the western tip of Mallorca, where the cliffs drop straight into deep blue water. The boat anchors in the channel facing Sant Elm, a quiet village with a small beach and a relaxed seafront, ideal for a long lunch and a late swim.
Day4
Along the Tramuntana Coast to Port de Sóller
The longest sail of the week follows the rugged Tramuntana coast, a UNESCO listed mountain range that rises steeply above the sea. Sheer cliffs, hidden coves and old watchtowers pass by the starboard side before the boat enters the round bay of Port de Sóller, one of the few natural harbours on the northern coast.
Day5
Port de Sóller and Deià
A free day to explore Port de Sóller. The vintage tram climbs to the town of Sóller between orange groves, while the seafront offers cafés and fresh fish. Those who prefer to stay on the water can sail along the coast to the cove of Deià and the cliffs of Sa Foradada, then return to the harbour for the night.
Day6
Port de Sóller to Port d’Andratx
The boat leaves the north coast and sails back along the Tramuntana cliffs with the afternoon wind behind it. The night is spent at anchor or in the harbour of Port d’Andratx, with time for a last swim and an evening walk along the waterfront.
Day7
Back to Palma and Disembarkation
The final sail runs along the southwest coast and across the Bay of Palma, with the skyline of the cathedral growing closer. The boat returns to the base in Palma on Friday afternoon, the last night is spent on board and disembarkation takes place the following morning.
Important Note This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, sea state and operational requirements. The captain may adjust the route, anchorages and overnight stops to ensure safety, comfort and the best possible sailing experience.

What to pack for a sailing holiday?
Pack smart for your yacht charter: choose a soft bag instead of a hard suitcase, bring lightweight layers, reef-safe sunscreen, and non-slip shoes for onboard use. A couple of swimsuits and motion sickness remedies can also make a big difference. Each boat has limited storage, so pack light, but wisely! Need help building the perfect list?

What Happens in Case of Bad Weather During a Sailing Holiday?
Summer sailing holidays rarely face major weather issues, but when the sea gets rough, skippers adjust the route for your safety. Expect protected bays, marina stops, or a change in plan. These moments often lead to unexpected gems: local towns to explore, time to relax on board, or cozy dinners ashore. Curious about how crews handle these changes?
