Yacht Charter FAQ Mallorca

Answers to the most common questions about chartering a yacht in Mallorca — pricing, what's included, booking process, cancellation policy, and more.

Charter Basics


Inclusions are yacht-specific. The yacht page, checkout summary or written proposal states the crew arrangement, fuel treatment, catering, equipment, VAT and any optional extras for your date. The written breakdown controls.


No. Our charters are run by a professional captain, who handles navigation, anchoring and safety. Self-drive (bareboat) hire is not offered unless the yacht page or our charter team confirms it, together with any licence, experience and insurance requirements.


Duration is yacht- and booking-specific. Many day charters follow an eight-hour format, and some yachts offer half-day or sunset slots. The yacht page, checkout or proposal shows the operating hours for your date.


A day charter is priced for the yacht and its crew; catering, transfers and extras depend on the yacht. A day charter package bundles a specific yacht with the inclusions set for that package, such as catering or a transfer, and shows a calendar-checked total. Package inclusions are not identical on every yacht.

Booking & Pricing


Choose a yacht and date on the website. Yachts with live availability and online payment can be booked through checkout; other yachts use an enquiry so our charter team can verify the yacht and date before payment. You can also contact us by phone or WhatsApp on +34 674 42 76 92 or by email at charter@bluebnc.com.


Cancellation, rescheduling, weather outcomes and refund eligibility are governed by the checkout terms or signed charter agreement for your booking. The captain decides whether conditions are safe. We recommend independent travel or cancellation insurance suited to your circumstances.


Prices are yacht- and date-specific and are shown on each yacht page. The final total depends on the yacht, date, duration, route, VAT treatment, fuel, catering and confirmed extras. Some yachts display prices excluding 21% VAT, and this is stated on the yacht page.


Review the price breakdown on the yacht page, checkout summary or written proposal. It shows what is included and what is charged separately for the selected yacht and date, such as fuel, catering, transfers or VAT. Ask our charter team before paying if anything is unclear.

On Board


Bring sunscreen (reef-safe preferred), sunglasses, a hat, swimwear, a light layer for the evening and any personal medication. Towels, snorkelling gear and other equipment vary by yacht, so check the yacht page or ask our charter team. Share any dietary requirements when you book catering.


Rules for bringing your own food and drinks depend on the yacht and booking. Ask our charter team when you book; catering can also be arranged where the selected yacht or package offers it.


Families are welcome. The captain gives a safety briefing and has final authority over safety, route and swimming stops. Tell us the ages of children and any non-swimmers when you book so that the team can confirm suitable equipment and arrangements for the selected yacht.

Destinations & Routes


Popular day routes include the Southwest Classic (Palma → Portals Vells → Port d'Andratx), Es Trenc & Cabrera Views (south-coast beaches and the national park), the Deià Discovery (the Tramuntana coast and Sa Foradada) and Formentor & the North (high sea cliffs and northern beaches). The Itineraries page shows each route's stops, times and distances; the captain confirms the plan for your yacht, date and conditions.


Yes. Share your preferences and the captain will confirm the plan using the yacht's operating area, the forecast, sea state, protected-area rules, timing and safety. The route can be adjusted on the day for weather and sea conditions.
