What Does a Day Charter in Mallorca Actually Cost?
It is the first question every prospective charter guest asks, and it deserves a straight answer. A day charter in Mallorca in 2026 costs between €1,500 and €85,000+ depending on the yacht size, season, and level of service. That is a wide range, so this guide breaks it down category by category with real prices from the Bluebnc Yachting fleet — Mallorca's leading yacht charter company, best reviewed, managed fleet of over 20 motor yachts on the island.
Unlike many charter companies that hide extras behind vague "from" prices, we believe in complete transparency. Every price in this guide reflects what you will actually pay, including what is included and what costs extra.
Understanding the Price Structure
Every Mallorca day charter has three cost layers:
| Cost Layer | What It Covers | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|
| Base charter rate | Yacht hire, captain, crew, basic amenities | €1,500 – €85,708 per day |
| Fuel | Engine consumption for the day's route | €150 – €2,500+ |
| Extras (optional) | Catering, premium drinks, water sports equipment | €200 – €3,000+ |
The base charter rate always includes the yacht, a professional captain (and crew on larger vessels), complimentary soft drinks and water, beach towels, basic snorkelling gear, a stand-up paddleboard, a Bluetooth sound system, and all applicable taxes including VAT.

All-Inclusive Packages: The Smart Choice
For guests who prefer zero surprises, Bluebnc Yachting offers all-inclusive day charter packages that bundle the yacht, fuel, gourmet catering, premium beverages, and water sports into a single price. These packages typically add 30–50% to the base charter rate but eliminate all variables.

Seasonal Price Variations
Mallorca's charter season runs from April to October, with prices varying by period:
| Season | Months | Price Adjustment | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early season | April – May | Base rate or -10% | Water 18–21°C, fewer crowds, occasional wind |
| High season | June – August | Base rate to +20% | Water 24–27°C, calm seas, peak demand |
| Golden season | September – October | Base rate or -5% | Water 23–25°C, warm, uncrowded — captain's favourite |
Pro tip: September is widely considered the best month for chartering in Mallorca. The water is at its warmest, the summer crowds have departed, and prices are at or below base rates. Our captains call it "the golden month."
Half-Day and Sunset Charters
Not every charter needs to be a full 8-hour day. Four yachts in the Bluebnc fleet offer half-day charters (4 hours) and sunset cruises (3 hours) at reduced rates:
| Charter Type | Duration | Price Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half day | 4 hours | €1,050 – €3,150 | Morning cove exploration or afternoon swim |
| Sunset cruise | 3 hours | €900 – €2,700 | Romantic evenings, celebrations, photography |
| Full day | 8 hours | €1,500 – €85,708 | Complete coastal exploration |
Half-day and sunset options are available on CUCA, BOMBON, PETITCHET II, and PETITCHET. View half-day options →
How to Get the Best Value
- Book in the golden season (September–October) for the best combination of weather, availability, and pricing.
- Choose an all-inclusive package to lock in costs and avoid fuel and catering surprises.
- Match the yacht to your group size — a 12-metre yacht for 4 guests offers more space per person than a 16-metre yacht for 12.
- Book early — the most popular yachts sell out 6–8 weeks in advance during high season.
- Consider a half-day charter if you are short on time — you still get the cove experience at 65–70% of the full-day rate.
