Luxury crewed charter
in Mallorca

At most dive sites in Mallorca and Menorca we hope that certified divers may dive from the boat with one of our Divemasters, and those dives are complimentary for most TradeWinds members.

In the event that this is not possible we will work with one of the local dive centers to organise diving for our guests. Please note that if we have to outsource diving then it will be at guests’ own expense. We will update this section just as soon as we are fully informed of the position.

Swimming, snorkelling, water sports including SUPing and kayaking, and some hiking.

Here is a sample itinerary of what you may expect while enjoying a sailing vacation with TradeWinds in Mallorca/Menorca. Weather or other outside factors may mean that your Captain sets an alternative course.

Your Balearic islands adventure will begin in Port d'Alcudia (exact location to be advised) at 5pm, when you’ll be introduced to your awaiting crew - who will get you straight into vacation mode with a refreshing cocktail! We’ll move the boat over to beautiful Porto Pollenca to anchor overnight and enjoy our first gourmet dinner here under the stars.

After a delicious early breakfast, we'll lift the anchor and make our way to sail to Menorca, the "Jewel of the Balearics" The passage will take most of the morning, but upon arrival we'll anchor outside Puerto de Ciudadela and enjoy lunch aboard before going ashore to explore this former capital of the island. It's a charming little city, dating back to Carthaginian times, with fine old Spanish palaces,small winding streets and cosy restaurants. A definite plus is the cute market here on Sundays. We'll head back to the boat in the early evening and enjoy Captains Cocktails before another delicious dinner aboard.

This morning we'll take a short sail along the southern coast of the island to Cala Coves, where we'll enjoy lunch aboard again before going ashore to explore.. This is A MUST!  A stunning bay surrounded by 150 caves (some dating back to prehistoric times). The snorkeling is first class here and the whole experience is just magical.  Later, we'll all meet up again aboard for cocktails and dinner under the stars anchored in this gorgeous bay - we're beginning to get used to being spoiled!

After a leisurely breakfast this morning we'll up anchor and head around the southernmost point of the island towards the Menorcan capital of Mahon/Mao. This lovely city has been the capital since the British moved it from Ciutadella in 1721; the reason being that the harbour - at 3 miles long, over 1/2 mile at its widest point and approx 50ft-100ft deep - is one of the largest natural harbours in the world. This, coupled with its location in the Mediterranean, has made Mahon a strategic stronghold for many nations throughout history. The waterfront here teems with restaurants and tapas places, and the city is famous for  lobster stew and Mahon cheese. It also stakes a claim as the place where mayonnaise was invented before it was taken to France!!! Whether this is true or not, there's enough culture here to keep us entranced for the whole day; we'll take a quick trip back to the boat in the early evening to freshen up before going ashore again to dine in one of the many fine restaurants in this lovely old city.

Today is a lazy beach day! In the morning we'll sail just a couple of hours from Mahon back along the south coast to Cala Mitjana where we'll have a picnic lunch and spend most of the day lazing on the stunning beach and playing with water toys. After lunch aboard we'll sail onward to the beautiful pink-sand beach of Cala Trebaluger, where we'll drop anchor for the night and keep a look-out for turtles swimming around us as we sip Captains Cocktails and look forward to another scrumptious dinner aboard. Life is good!

We'll breakfast early this morning, still looking out for turtles and other wildlife, and then set sail back to Cala Torta on mainland Mallorca. After lunch aboard we'll move the boat to Cala Mesquida, but guests who would like a gentle hike can take the 1 1/2 hr slow walk - an easy hike for even for the elders among the group. We'll anchor here for the night and enjoy our usual cocktails and dinner off this lovely white-sand beach. 

This morning we'll head for Cala Calo - a lovely quiet beach known as one of the most beautiful beaches on Mallorca, where there are also great options for hiking.  After lunch aboard we'll hoist the sails and sail back to Alcudia. We'll freshen up and savor Captains Cocktails onboard before going ashore to dine in one of the many fine restaurants here for the last night of our adventure.

After a last tasty breakfast onboard, it's time to gather your belongings, as well as your wonderful memories of a week in this most beautiful environment. Before exchanging fond farewells, your crew will arrange transport from Port d'Alcudia to the airport at 9am. You will already be planning your next cruise with TradeWinds.
