the Balearic Islands
The Balearics sit off the eastern coast of Spain and divide neatly into two groups: Mallorca and Menorca to the north-east, Ibiza and Formentera to the south-west. Passages between the islands are short, the water is clear, and the mix of large marinas, quiet calas and sandbanks makes the archipelago one of the most flexible cruising grounds in the Mediterranean.
Guests charter here for Palma's marinas and shipyards, the sandbanks of Formentera, Ibiza's beach clubs and nightlife and the quieter calas of Menorca and north-east Mallorca. A yacht keeps all of it within reach without daily transfers, and the crew shapes each day around the weather, the sea state and how much time you want at anchor rather than under way.
Lund Group arranges private charters in the Balearic Islands on motor yachts, sailing yachts, catamarans and full superyachts. We present only what genuinely suits your dates, guest numbers and pace, confirm every detail with the central agent before it is proposed, and never describe a yacht, berth or shore arrangement as available until it is held in writing.
The season runs from roughly May to early October. July and August bring the warmest water and the greatest demand; June and September are calmer, better value and easier for berths and anchorages. Peak weeks around August are booked earliest.

Cruising
A typical week moves between islands in short hops, with mornings at anchor for swimming and water toys, lunch on board or ashore, and evenings either in a marina or in a quiet bay. The crew adjusts the order of the islands to the wind rather than following a fixed plan.
Charters often start or end in Palma, where berthing and technical support are strongest. From the Balearics, longer itineraries continue to the Spanish mainland, to Sardinia and Corsica, or west towards Gibraltar.
One archipelago
No island is "best": the experience you want decides the combination. Passages between the two island pairs are short enough to combine, and long enough that the route needs planning around the weather.
Itineraries
Sample shapes only: crossing times depend on the yacht and sea state, and the captain has the final say.
Embarkation
Palma suits Mallorca-led and multi-island weeks, Ibiza suits Ibiza and Formentera, and Mahón suits Menorca-led routes. Starting and finishing in different islands is often possible; the yacht's base, the route and any repositioning fee are confirmed before contract.
Environment
The Balearics protect their Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows, and anchoring over them is prohibited. In many popular bays yachts use regulated buoy fields or anchor on sand only. Rules are enforced and can change, so the captain decides where the yacht can lie on the day.
Berthing
Marina berths for larger yachts are requested by the yacht's agent for specific dates and are never guaranteed, especially in July and August. The public online booking systems for port and buoy places are not how superyacht berths are normally reserved. Berthing fees are generally paid through the APA.
Compliance
Commercial charter in Balearic waters requires the yacht to hold the relevant authorisation and to respect its permitted guest capacity. We confirm a yacht's status for your dates before presenting it; nothing on this page claims authorisation for any particular yacht. We do not sell individual places or tickets aboard.
Costs
The advertised rate covers the yacht and crew. It is not the total charter cost.
Arrivals
Palma, Ibiza and Menorca each have airports that handle private jets. Formentera has no airport and is reached by sea from Ibiza, often by the yacht itself or its tender. We arrange jets, helicopters and cars through independent operators and plan transfers rather than promise times.
Season and yachts
The season runs roughly May to early October; July and August are busiest and book first, while June and September are usually calmer. Winds can make one side of an island or a crossing uncomfortable, which is why routes stay flexible.
Motor yachts cover the inter-island distances most easily; sailing yachts and catamarans suit slower routes, families and shallow anchorages such as Formentera. Water toys, family set-ups and event dates are confirmed per yacht.
