Boat charter FAQs
The things people email us about most.
Do I need a licence to charter a boat in Mallorca?
No — every charter on this page comes with a professional skipper included as standard, so nobody on board needs a licence or any boating experience. A licence is only needed if you choose the bareboat option and take a boat out yourself.
How much does a private boat charter cost in Mallorca?
Our own Alcúdia boats are priced in full here — from €99 per person on the Pronautica 880 up to €900 for a full-day bareboat charter. Sailboats, motor yachts, catamarans and RIBs are priced on request, since the right boat and rate depend on your dates and group size.
What is included in a skippered charter?
Skipper, fuel, drinks and snacks are included on the skippered Sole SP35 and Pronautica 880 routes, along with snorkel gear and paddle surf. Bareboat hire includes the boat and safety equipment, with fuel extra and a deposit held against the boat.
Is there a discount for larger groups?
Yes — groups of seven to nine get 10% off the skippered charters, and we can arrange a whole boat alongside jet skis or quads on the same day for larger groups.
What is the difference between a sailboat, catamaran and motor yacht charter?
A sailing yacht and catamaran both come with a skipper and no licence is required; the catamaran is the roomier, steadier option with twin hulls and more cabins. Motor yachts and RIBs are faster and more manoeuvrable, and are currently arranged on request rather than listed with fixed photos and pricing.
