About the Balearic islands

Each of the islands has a slightly different feel, encouraged by hundreds of years of relative isolation from the cultural development of mainstream Europe. Mallorca has a rich and influential tradition of fine art, literature and music.

History of the Balearics

The Balearic islands hold traces of habitation dating back 8,000 years, to the ancient civilizations of Greece and Phoenicia. Their recorded history begins 2,000 years ago with the Romans. Conquests by the Vandals, the Byzantine Empire, the Moors and various European minor royals, varied civilizations have left their mark on the islands.

Gastronomy of the Balearics

Traditional Balearic cuisine is rich in vegetables and legumes as well as being low in fats. Be pleasantly surprised by their primary dishes like seafood and vegetable stews, sobrassada - cured raw pork mixed with salt and pepper -, and hot paprika and local cheese and wine.

The unique benets of a private yacht charter in the Balearics

Private luxury yacht cruising has always been a fantastic choice for a vacation in the Balearic islands and its popularity is only on the rise. Next to freedom, privacy and independence, private yacht charters will also give you a time to connect. Aboard a yacht, time passes more slowly. It's a chance to get back to nature and enjoy life's simple pleasures—like a dolphin swimming by or a spectacular sunset. Most importantly, you spend quality time with those closest to you, in one of the most sought-after destinations around the globe.

Frequently asked questions about a yacht charter in Croatia

What does the charter contract look like?

The majority of the industry works with standardised contracts which have been created and refined by a consortium of industry professionals called MYBA. The charter contract outlines all the variables of a specific charter, such as the yacht, price, dates and location, as well as all the terms and conditions which cover all eventualities and the relationship between the various parties to the agreement.

In addition to the charter rate, which is the cost of renting the yacht, its equipment and its crew, there are extra costs which will be charged on top. These typically include any tax due on the charter (see VAT section above) and the APA which covers everything you will consume during your charter. On a case by case basis there may be delivery fees if you prefer to book the yacht in a location different to its base. Finally, some yachts require security deposits when hosting events.

All yachts have a limitation as to the number of guests which can be accommodated on board. This relates to the rules and regulations for the safety of passengers and is determined for each yacht based on the number of berths (individual sleeping places) and safety equipment. The maximum number of guests on board is usually 12, which is dictated by the general rules for commercial vessels, although some larger yachts can accommodate up to 36 guests if they are classified as passenger ships.

The process of booking a yacht can be quite complex, between finding the right yacht from the thousands available on the market, negotiating the best rates, the contract, working out the itinerary, the most efficient tax structure and many more. Our charter agents are here to take care of all the details so that you can focus on the fun part of the trip: relaxing on board and enjoying the sea and the area you are cruising!
