Half a day, or the whole one

Four hours is enough for the bays either side of Palma: a swim, lunch somewhere with a jetty, and back before the afternoon breeze. Eight gets you round to the quieter side of the island and back without watching the clock.

Do you need a licence?

Only if you want to drive her yourself. The rules are not ours — they are what the Spanish authorities require for a vessel this size, and we check them before you leave the pontoon.

  • A skipper isn't included, but can be hired as an extra: 150 € for 4 hrs, 200 € for 8 hrs.
  • To take the boat out without a skipper you need a valid licence, checked and approved before the rental begins.
  • Spanish licence: PER, patrón de yate or capitán de yate. Non-Spanish licence: any qualifying title for maritime navigation in this vessel in the Mediterranean.
  • The original licence is requested at check-in. Photos and copies are not valid.

Or don't bother with one

Add a skipper and the licence question disappears entirely. They know the coast, they know where the water is clearest on the day, and you get to spend the whole time in the water rather than at the wheel.

Good to know

Questions we get asked

Only if you intend to drive her yourself. With a Spanish licence that means a PER, patrón de yate or capitán de yate. With a licence from another country it must be a title that qualifies you to navigate a vessel of this size in the Mediterranean. We ask for the original document at check-in — photographs and photocopies are not accepted. If you would rather not deal with any of that, add a skipper and no licence is needed.

From 450 € for four hours and 640 € for eight in the quiet months, rising to 690 € and 880 € in July and August. That is the price of the whole boat, not per person. A skipper is 150 € for a half day or 200 € for a whole one, and fuel is paid separately based on what you use.

Up to twelve. The rate is the same whether there are two of you or twelve, so the more of you there are, the less it costs each.

Club de Mar, Muelle Pelaires s/n, berth 1026 — about five minutes on foot from Palma cathedral. Note this is not the same berth as the boat ESSOESS, which sits at Moll Vell.

No. You collect the boat with a full tank and return it full, so you pay only for what you burn. If you would rather not spend part of your day at the fuel dock, we will refuel her for you at cost plus a 25 € service charge.

The captain has the final say on whether it is safe to go out, and that decision is never negotiable. If conditions stop you sailing we move you to another date when one is free, and refund you when it is not.

Pick a date and we'll get her ready

Send a request with the day you have in mind and whether you want a skipper, and we will come back to you with availability and a firm price.
