Much of the fun to be had in the city today is in the Old Town, centred on the Gothic La Seu cathedral. For those after a culture fix, you will not be disappointed - very like Barcelona, it has a Ramblas where you will find much to absorb and enjoy. This was built on a dried-up riverbed in the 19th Century.

The city was originally founded by the Romans in around 102 BC, and called Palmaria - from which the modern name now stems. Much of the original city is buried but every time there is a new development (not unlike London in England) there are interesting finds from the past.

Several empires have had control of Palma over the centuries including the Arabs, British and of course the Spanish. You will see La Seu Cathedral and Bellver Castle that have watched over the city for hundreds of years.

Since the 1960s, Palma has been a byword for Balearic fun and relaxation. The biggest city in the Balearics it is the regional capital too, overseeing the governance of the other islands of Menorca, Formentera and Ibiza.

Palma has managed to avoid the over development and retains an atmosphere that many call the 'most cosmopolitan in Spain'. As such it is a fun place to start your Mallorca yacht charter.

Explore Palma By Renting A Yacht

On a Palma yacht charter, you can explore the coastline of the biggest island in the Balearics or do a bit of island-hopping. Majorca has a lot to offer and is moving away from its package holiday image as more attractions are recognised and invested in. You can go hiking in Mondrago National Park, and enjoy a bit of the 14km long Alcudia sandy beach all to yourself.

White sandy beaches are one of the biggest draws to Majorca, and on your sailing holiday, you will be able to get to a sandy beach or two that can't be accessed from shore.

For a bit of coastal walking, you shouldn't miss nearby Cala Figuera. Cala d'Or, close to Portocolom on the SE coast of Mallorca is in direct translation 'the Golden Bay' - boating heaven of golden beaches and great natural wealth. This is a holiday resort that is relaxed and family-oriented, it is worthy of an afternoon's enjoyment as you explore the island.

Just ten miles off the south-east coast of Majorca is the uninhabited Cabrera Island. This almost barren island has a very rich marine ecosystem and a range of animals and plants that will bewitch you as you sit and absorb it all. Mallorcans are said to escape here to avoid the tourists at home!

Less than a day's sail away to the west is the hippy island of Ibiza with your choice of secluded coves, riotous partying and beautiful beaches and alternative culture that rivals Glastonbury or San Francisco. Out to the east, you can explore Menorca that has much the same on offer as Majorca but in microcosm.

How To Get To Palma

Palma Airport

With two million passengers passing through the airport every year, Palma Airport is one of the busiest on the Mediterranean Sea. It is a short bus ride or taxi from Palma's two main marinas.

Marinas In Palma de Mallorca

There are two major marinas serving Palma - the smaller Palma Cuarentena has 70 berths and is in the city itself. Meanwhile, the much larger Port Adriano outside of Palma is 33km from Palma Airport. Both have charter yacht companies offering luxury yacht, monohull sailing yacht, superyacht , catamaran and motor yacht charters on a bareboat charter or skippered yacht charter basis as a day charter or longer.

Palma Cuarentena Marina:

Berth Characteristics:

Max Length 70m (229 Feet)

Max Draught 6m (19.7 Feet)

List of additional services: Shore power, water, recycling and waste, laundry, changing rooms, fuel, ship repair, bar and restaurant.

Port Adriano:

Max Length 80m (262 Feet)

Max Draught 7m (23 Feet)

List of additional services: Shore power, water, WiFi, recycling and waste, laundry, changing rooms, fuel, ship repair, market, bar and restaurant, ATM.

Suggested Sailing Routes From Palma

On a week-long boat rental trip, you can circumnavigate Majorca while on a longer trip you can explore the other Balearic Islands.

7 days - Clockwise around Majorca: With Palma itself the second to last day of the trip, you head out of Port Adriano and head to Soller for the first day, Pollenca the next before Cala Ratjada and Cala d'Or. You will spend the night on Cabrera Island before heading to Palma itself for the final day and returning to port for handover.

14 days - Ibiza and Mallorca: This is an opportunity to experience the two main climates of the Balearic Islands. Ibiza is the most southerly of the islands and has a south-east breeze that many find the best sailing on the Med. The northeast breeze dominates Mallorca and you will experience this for the first week as you head clockwise around the island before crossing to Ibiza, spending a night in Ibiza Town, the sheltered bays of Formentera and then San Antonio on your return leg before heading across to Port Adriano.

Best Times To Hire A Yacht In Palma de Mallorca

The sailing season in the Balearic Islands is best from May to October. The major party towns heat up to a full frenzy in June to August. It is very much down to what you want from a sailing holiday in the islands - if partying all night is on the cards, the top DJs will hit the region in that time. If the quiet life is what you seek, then do try to get out during term time - the sea is still warm in September and October, though the infamous Tramontana starts to be more frequent at this time of year, as it eases off in early May.

Sailing Weather In Palma

The northeast breeze common to coastal Mediterranean France dominates Majorca, a cool relief from the summer heat. It never really gets above 17 knots or so so there will be some boisterous sailing but never more than is fun. You will see more precipitation towards the beginning and end of the sailing season (May and October) but the temperatures rarely stray below 15-17 degrees during those times. In the height of summer (July/August), it isn't as hot as mainland Spain, though you will see the odd few days in the 30+ C range. For Northern Europeans and those from other cooler climates, this makes for fantastic sailing!

Frequently asked questions

The main points to consider are what is your budget, have you got the necessary sailing experience and qualifications to manage the boat if it's not going to have a skipper, whom you are taking sailing, where exactly you wish to go and what will the weather be like on the proposed dates of your trip.

Palma Cuarentena Marina is in the centre of the city close to the old town. It is smaller than nearby Port Adriano - 30km down the coast this is the main marina serving Palma de Mallorca.

July and August are the busiest months but September retains the warmth of the sea and air. Why not then go sailingafter school holidays begin?

You will typically pay 50% up front on booking the yacht hire and the balance on arrival. You will either pay a security deposit with your credit card on departure or can get insurance covering damage in advance. In some cases (such as the recent Covid situation) charter companies may be more flexible but this depends on the individual charter companies themselves.

If you are at sea and in danger, call MAYDAY on VHF Ch16 or ring the coast guard on your phone if you have reception. If you have a mechanical fault and can make it to or are on a mooring you will be able to phone a help line number given by the boat charter company.

You should consider do you have the experience to handle the yacht charter or boat hire before you book and where do you want to go along with what the weather will be like. Bring warm weather and cool weather clothing if it looks like the weather can be cool as well as warm and remember at sea it can be cool on most evenings.

If you want to sail without a skipper then you will need relevant qualifications like RYA Day Skipper/International Certificate of Competence (ICC)/ASA 104 Bareboat certificate or the US Sailing Certificate. For small 'day boats' or if you choose to have a skippered on board your yacht charter you typically don't require licences.

Yacht charter and vacation rental palma, spain, whether pure nature or beach parties – everything goes on the sea.

Ports and Marinas as far as the eye can see: cast your lines!

The possibilities to charter a shiny new yacht in Palma de Mallorca are endless. Whether in the Real Club Nautico Yacht Club, the Marina La Lonja, Marina Alboran and Marina Joyeria Relojeria or on Pier 46 , almost 200 sailboats, motorboats and catamarans are in the well maintained docking areas, waiting to be chartered. With the appropriate favorite water vessel, a very special and personal discovery of the island’s southern coast can begin. For example, catamarans have no keel and therefore do not weigh a lot, which makes them very fast boats. This makes the catamaran a wonderful and luxurious choice to explore the many beautiful corners of Palma de Mallorca. A quiet sailing cruise from the marina also goes by the giant mega-yachts that are anchored there, including the largest private sailing boat made of wood. The “Creole” is 60 meters long and belongs to the Gucci family, of fashion fame; the Emir of Qatar also often has his luxury yacht in the bay, in order to enjoy the idyllic view of the old city from the water. A secret that the super rich also want to take advantage of is Phillipe Starck’s Mole, including the specialty restaurant of the Sylt-Zanzibar owner, which was re-launched in the last year. For a longer trip, writing up a detailed list of advice and recommendations is a good idea in order to have a dream vacation on this Balearic island . Experienced sailors can also use Palma de Mallorca as the perfect point of origin for a trip to the neighboring islands Menorca and Ibiza and even for a trip ashore in Barcelona . Sailing route suggestion for Majorca .

With a license or without – in Palma de Mallorca it’s always time for a yacht charter

Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, with an average of 303 days of sunshine annually in Palma de Mallorca, it is always sailing season here . Even early in the year and in the fall, the temperatures are a mild 15 to 25º (59-77ºF) and even in the winter they often stay above 10º (50ºF). Better yet, it seldom rains, so just with the proper type of clothing, an excursion at sea is possible throughout the year. The island has many aspects that boat enthusiasts already enjoy no matter the time of year, but naturally they love it even more in the summer, when the water temperature is usually about 25º (77ºF) and is perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Despite the at times very crowded and therefore quite tight port facilities, which can then be difficult to maneuver through, the entire Mallorca area is a perfect region for beginner and less experienced yacht charter crews. Due to the shallow waters and almost non-existent current , there are hardly any navigational challenges in these waters . However, wind prediction in the area tends to be difficult. Generally, though, winds tend to blow at 2 to 4 on the Beaufort scale (Bft), and the Mistral and Tramontana winds only rarely create challenging conditions . The cruising area is also has consistently spaced buoys and beacons. However, it is recommended that, if you have any uncertainties at all when you are booking, that you hire a skipper and crew directly with your yacht charter, which is very simply with YACHTICO.com . If you don’t have a boating license, there are numerous and varied renowned schools in Palma de Mallorca, where you can earn your full sailing license in a few days. A sound knowledge of navigation, such as by map and compass; the safety equipment on boar; mechanical engineering; various sailing knots; and meteorology are also necessary for a safe and relaxing sail, and these skills, too, can be refreshed at the schools in Palma de Mallorca. Currently in Mallorca, it is not a problem to sail a boat of maximum 15 PS and four meters in length without a sailing license, and in smaller motorboats just four people are allowed on board. In 2014, it is expected that boats up to six meters long will also be allowed to be chartered without any special training.

Tips for an unforgettable day in the Old City

Palma de Mallorca also offers tons of popular attractions for those who want to take a land break from the Mediterranean Sea. When booking your accommodation, it is worth it to keep an eye out for options with a roof terrace. Nothing is so relaxing as, on the first day of your holiday, to look on the roofs of the city and start the day with the first rays of warm sunshine. In the morning, you should visit the impressive La Seu Cathedral, an important Palma landmark, and one of the largest churches in the world. And it is not for nothing that it is also called the Cathedral of Light – gorgeous light reflects through the entire height and width of the nave, with an extraordinary effect. Follow your trip to the Cathedral with a stroll through the trendy “Little Scandinavia,” west of the old city. Penthouse apartments and Fibonacci bakeries as well as coffee shops line the path. Then head to the magnificent old town, where the small and inconspicuous streets often produce the most interesting shops. The traditional café “Ca’n Joan de S’aigo” is a very popular chocolatier, and locals love it for the homemade almond ice cream as well as for the ensaimadas, which are the typical biscuits with a lot of powdered sugar. For a heftier spot for lunchtime, “Bar Joan Frau”, near the market hall, is a snack bar that is said to have the best paella in Mallorca. The neighborhood’s meeting place is the Sifoneria, where Majorcan wine is bottled and sold directly from the barrel. Just in time for siesta, a nice shady spot invites you to sit with a glass of the island’s schnapps, caramel liquor with gentian. In the early evening, beach clubs attract many people with their great lighting and lounge music, and you can sit and watch the last rays of sunshine for the day. Roxy Bar in Portals Nous and Balneario Illetas, west of Palma, are especially popular. Then let the day wind down in the show kitchen of the star chef Marc Frosh, before heading to one of the trendy clubs in exciting Llonja and dance the night away.

Convenient on-site yacht charters with Yachtico

A week in Palma de Mallorca is very relaxing and not expensive at all. With the extensive platform YACHTICO.com offers, more than 200 boats of all kinds are available to be booked for the next holiday in Mallorca. Catamarans , sailboats , and motorboats as well as yachts of all ages and from well known manufacturers can be sorted by starting port, the number of cabins and berths, boat model, price, and special options and then selected and booked – all in just three clicks. Depending on individual preferences and requirements, prices for the boats range between about 1000 and 6000 Euros per week. For the perfect cruise around the Balearic island, skippers and leisure sailors can find further practical, useful information about the region at YACHTICO.com.

With a suitable sailing yacht, it is also possible to sail to further away destinations such as the rugged cliffy seaside villages of Porto Colom and the sandy bay of Cala Mondragó, in the middle of a picturesque nature reserve, which with a boat are far more accessible. Even the worn canyons in the north, like the Torrent de Pareis, whose riverbed has been dried by drought, are possible destinations for a several day trip around the magnificent island of Mallorca.

Guide to Mallorca

Idyllic Mediterranean beauty

The largest of the Balearic Islands , Mallorca (Majorca) is perfect yacht charter territory thanks to its turquoise-blue waters, secret coves, soft golden sands, soaring mountaintops and a vibrant, cosmopolitan capital. Wonderfully diverse with many hidden gems to uncover, this magnificent island is a must-see destination.

Mallorca sits off the east coast of Spain, bathing in the sparkling Mediterranean Sea alongside her Balearic sisters: Ibiza , Menorca and Formentera . A stunning coastline of bone-white beaches, pine-flecked bays and deserted coves is undoubtedly the island’s main draw, but you’ll be enticed to extend your stay by the exquisite natural beauty of the island’s hinterland.

Located along the south coast, the Spanish city of Palma de Mallorca is the island’s thriving capital. World-class superyacht facilities here make it easy for yacht-goers to step ashore and experience the city’s designer shopping, exclusive restaurants, thriving art scene and magnificent gothic architecture.

Elsewhere on the south coast, sandy stretches backed by pine trees await your arrival, while idyllic coves and secluded beaches are sheltered by rocky faces in the east, soaring cliffs carve out hidden paradises in the west and, in the north, the peaks of the Sierra de Tramuntana mountains provide a spectacular backdrop to the gorgeous bays of Badia de Pollenca and Badi d’Alcudia.

Mallorca’s interior is certainly resplendent in natural wonders. As well as the limestone mountain range of the north, there are fertile plains with olive groves, windmills and old market towns, monasteries atop rolling green hills, vineyards producing world-class wines, and the nature reserves of Sa Dragonera and Albufera.

Such landscapes ensure Mallorca has something to offer everybody on a Mediterranean yacht charter , from relaxing on the beach and trying out the latest watersports to hiking and cycling. There is also an exciting food scene from the cosmopolitan eateries of the city to the hearty dishes of the traditional inland restaurants to coastal bistros serving the catch of the day.

Discover what this Spanish island can offer to you and your family by getting in touch with your preferred charter broker to discuss itinerary options and the best places and times to visit. Also, be sure to have a browse of all the crewed yachts available for charter in Spain .

Palma De Mallorca

Welcome to Mallorca!

Palma de Mallorca is the capital of the Balearic Islands and also one of the major yachting hubs in the Mediterranean. Here you will find large superyacht marinas, shipyards, crew agencies, crew training schools, a handful of crew houses and basically any other yachting service, you can ever dream of.

For yacht crew it is close to being the perfect destination to be based out of. Most marinas are located nearby shopping, nightlife and restaurants, perhaps with the exception of Puerto Portals and Port Adriano. The city itself has a great city vibe and is nothing less than breathtakingly beautiful! You will really enjoy your stay here, in particular on your days off, when you can explore the mountains, the old villages and of course the many beaches surrounding Mallorca. It is no wonder why so many yachties decided to call this little Mediterranean gem of an island home. There is little doubt that you will be leaving a rather large piece of your heart behind come the day, when you throw the lines and sail out through the Bay of Palma while watching the city and its’ cathedral with the mountains as a backdrop.

For those looking to find work or to get started in yachting, Palma is also a brilliant choice considering the large amount of crew agencies found here, the reasonably priced options for crew housing, crew training facilities, ease of networking and of course the large amount of yachts pulling in and out of port – all while being able to enjoy life to the fullest…  On the flipside many marinas are gated, yet most dockwalkers seem to be able to manage to hand out CVs, find daywork and for some that elusive permanent gig on the yacht of their dreams!

This little mini-guide was written to help you find your way around the city and to get settled in as smoothly as possible;

Please select any of the tabs below to view the information contained.

Palma De Mallorca Information

Enjoying mallorca, crew houses, property agencies, flat shares, room booking sites, accomodation facebook groups, transport info, tourist information, crew training, crew agencies, marinas & shipyards, crew medical services, emergency contacts.

1 Reserve crew house well in advance

The yachting hubs get very busy during the season with crew houses known to be fully booked from the end of March throughout June-ish. If you decide to stay in a crew house, then it is vital to make a reservation as soon as you know when you will be going. Make sure to bring a printed confirmation. A listing of crew houses can be found in the “Crew Houses”-section. Alternatively, you also have the option of staying in a hostel. HostelWorld is a brilliant tool to help you find the most suitable hostels for soon-to-be-yachties.

2 Passport- and visa copy

Keep with you a laminated copy of your passport and any visa you may be required. This way you limit the risk of being stuck overseas without any sort of ID. Include your emergency contact numbers on the backside – and possibly also your blood type.

3 Credit Card numbers

Make a note of your credit card numbers and the related lost/stolen telephone help line. You can leave them on a note with your family, for instance.

4 Local Transport

This is usually pretty easy although during the evenings or on public holidays public transportation can be somewhat limited. Tell the driver where you need to go, and he will normally let you know where to get off.

Watch your belongings when using public transportation. Several cases of crew having lost bags, phones etc. have been reported in the past.

The public transport around Mallorca is actually quite good;

• city buses (EMT)
• island-wide buses (TIB)
• public train line serving Inca and Manacor
• scenic tourist train Palma – Sóller, where you can connect to Port de Sollèr via the vintage tram
• ferries to Menorca, Ibiza, Barcelona, Valencia and Toulon

On the Palma de Mallorca Airport website you will find updated flight info along with other practical information about the airport itself and how to get to and from the airport .

To get into Palma from the airport get on Line 1 Airport–Palma .

Buses operate between 06.30 to 22.10h in direction of Palma and 05.30 to 21.30h in direction of the airport. A single fare is 5 Euros for non-residents. The bus stops just outside the arrivals and departures with easy access to both.

Fares within the city are 2 Euros or 1.50 if you buy a 10-journey prepaid card. All bus schedules can be found on the EMT Palma website .

If you are looking to go dockwalking in Puerto Portals ( Line 108N) and/or Port Adriano ( Line 106N ) you will need to get on the red/yellow TIB intercity bus, which operates between the main bus station underneath Plaza España and via the Paseo Maritimo (the port) to either of the two ports. All schedules and routes are listed here . Bus fares vary depending on your destination. Tickets are 40% cheaper when purchased in the bus station.

Airport taxis are found to the right of the pedestrian escalator just outside the arrivals terminal. The price into the city is approximately 18 Euros plus luggage- and night supplements. Taxis are usually plentiful but if not, they can be reached at

• Taxi Palma +34 971 134 700
• Taxis Palma Radio +34 971 401 414
• Radio Taxi +34 971 201 212

There are three different lines operating from underneath Plaza España;

• Line T1 Inca
• Line T2 Sa Pobla via Inca
• Line T3 Manacor via Inca, Sineu and Petra

All lines stop in Poligono Marratxí, where you find the Bluewater training facilities.

Additionally, the Ferrocarril de Sóller vintage train serves the very scenic route to Sóller from where you connect to Puerto de Sóller via the tram service. This makes for a great day of exploring. The Saturday market (8-14.00h) in Sóller followed by seaside lunch and drinks in the port is a Mallorca classic and a must-do!

• Uber: Not available in Palma

A few good pointers to how you can save money / avoid being scammed when using ATMs and shopping with your bank card overseas;

– ALWAYS withdraw in LOCAL currency (US$ in US, EUROS in EU/Euro zone, GBP in UK, Rand in South Africa, Swiss Francs in Switzerland etc.)

– ALWAYS decline conversion (leave it to your own bank)

– ALWAYS pay good attention to the transaction fee – in particular in areas with lots of nightlife. (one yachty experienced being charged 50 USD in Cancun just to withdraw 100 USD!!!)

– Some ATMs will offer quite large amounts (to make a larger profit from the transaction). In such case, see what your alternative options are.

Check out this great explanatory video where you will see how it works in real life. Potentially, it will save you a lot of money!

6 Get a local SIM card

Getting yourself set up with a local telephone number is not strictly required. Yet, people prefer to call local numbers rather than overseas numbers despite everyone being on WhatsApp these days. Furthermore, you may avoid any roaming charges associated with your current provider.

In Spain many yachties use

• Hits Mobile
• Lebara Mobile

All three providers offer pay-as-you-go plans with accumulation of unused GB.

As soon as you have a local number make sure to include it on your CV and business card as well as updating your number with any crew agencies you are signed up with.

7 Print business cards and CVs

The sooner you have your CV and business cards (the Spanish call it a “Tarjeta de Visita”) printed, the sooner you will be ready to start the job hunt.

Both clip art and templates are available for free online. The very simple design above was made using Canva (which also offers great templates for your CV). They even give you the option to include nautical themes such as an anchor, a lighthouse, a compass, a sail, waves, a rising sun, a dolphin – you name it…

Alternatively, for a very minimal fee you can have a professional designer create a print-ready professional looking business card (and CVs) on FIVERR . The design below includes double-sided design and unlimited revisions. This business card was designed by a designer starting her design service at just 5 USD.

Make sure to include the following information:

• Telephone / WhatsApp / Skype
• Short objective / “Available for Daywork, Freelance, Deliveries, Full-time or Part Time work” – as applies to you
• Qualifications
• Photo (optional, although it will help the recipient remember you)
• QR code* with link to your CV

* Free QR codes can easily be generated online. Next, download the scannable code and include it with your business card.

Your business card does not have to be the highest print quality available, but obviously the better quality the more it will stand out. Many yachties use Moo.com and VistaPrint.com . Both are great services and well-recommended. You can work on this in advance and have your business cards delivered straight to your crew house or your home address prior to traveling to Palma de Mallorca, although doing so you will not be able to include a local number.

Locally, crew have been recommending business card- and CV printing in the beginning of Carrer dels Oms (the pedestrian street connecting Las Ramblas with Plaza España). Here you will find a number of printing shops on the left side of the street. They are not expensive either.

• Copisteria Bohigas – Carrer dels Oms 40

( Mon – Fri: 9-13.30h 16.30-19.30h Sat 10.30-13.30h)

• Central Copistería , Carrer dels Oms 44

(Mon – Fri: 9-13.30h 16.30-19.30h)

• Paperoms , Carrer dels Oms 48

(Mon – Fri: 9-13.00h. Private appointments: 16-      19.00h)

A little closer to Santa Catalina and La Lonja you find

• Impresrapit , Calle Baró Santa Maria del Sepulcre 7 (one of the two streets opposite the main entrance to the small El Corte Inglès) on Jaime III (Mon-Friday 9-18.00h)

How many cards and CVs to print is up to you to decide, but somewhere around 50-100 CVs and perhaps 200 business cards should do you fine to begin with. It is easy to have more printed, if necessary.

As for printing CVs, one important thing to remember is that if you work on it or make prints in a public internet café etc . always remember to delete your CV off the computer , when you are done.

8 Get to know the ports Finding out which ports are most popular with superyachts is essential, obviously. Pick the brains of others staying in your crew house or hostel. They will most likely know where to go. Some marinas will be way better for dockwalking than others. Some may be gated, while others may have easy access. Some may have lots of large yachts, while others are for small pleasure yachts with no professional crew on board.

And then there are the shipyards, where there is always work going on. They will usually have security by the gate, often with strict security measures. There is a good reason for that; other than providing security for their clients, with a lot of heavy machinery moving around and the type of work going on, dockwalking can be dangerous, in particular for newcomers to yachting. Generally, dockwalking is not recommended in shipyards. Instead try and meet crew in the yachty bars after work.

The following marinas and shipyards are popular with superyachts in the Balearic Islands;

• Port Ibiza Town
• Marina Ibiza*
• Club de Mar*
• Pantalán del Mediterráneo*
• Marina Port de Mallorca*
• Real Club Nautico – RCNP*
• Astilleros**
• Puerto Portals (Portals Nous)
• Port Adriano (El Toro)

*   Gated Marina

** Gated Shipyard – for safety reasons   dockwalking is not encouraged!

Job seekers will primarily be looking for work in Palma de Mallorca, which is the main yachting hub in Spain. If you are in or close by any of the other locations, you can also try your luck there.

You can use MarineTraffic to see if any new yachts have arrived or to check out how busy the various ports in your area are.

9 Networking

There is little doubt that he large majority of crew jobs goes through word of mouth. For this reason, it is really important for you to start building a good network within the industry already from Day 1.

The more people, who knows you are looking for work, the larger are your chances of finding work. It is often seen that a yacht already employing a dayworker or two needs more dayworkers the following day. In such a case the captain will nearly always ask the dayworkers if they know of anyone else, who may be available. That’s where you get in the picture, but only if you have an established network. Here are a few of ideas of how to do that;

First off, build a good reputation for yourself as being friendly and helpful – and be sociable.

• When you do yachting courses meet up for a drink or two after training is over and connect with everyone attending the course on Facebook.
• If you do your STCW and other entry-level training keep in touch with your fellow students.
• Stay in a crew house instead of private accommodation.
• If you stay in a crew house be sociable with everyone.
• It is no secret that sailors like a drink or three. Neither is it a secret that the best way to meet yacht crew is either when dayworking or in the bars.
• When you daywork, be friendly and sociable with everyone on board– without interfering with their work. You may run into them in the bar one of the coming days or perhaps in years from now on a different yacht!
• Try not to miss out on any yachting events such as boat shows, crew events, webinars or crew dinners. These events will normally be announced ahead of time in the Yacht Crew Facebook groups, among others.
• When you meet people in the industry, share your business card and within reason ask them if you may add that person on Facebook.
• Use Facebook to build your network. Set up an account purely for yachting and add other yachties and industry professionals. Be active with posting photos etc., which gives them something to comment on. Make sure, they can tag you in job posts.
• In the Facebook group covering your current location ask if there is anyone, who might be interested to meet up. You could ask if there is anyone from your country in town or if there is anyone interested in participating in an activity that you both share (rent a car together and go exploring for the weekend, go for a run, go to the beach, go on a hike, go to the movies, go for a drink, go to watch rugby or Champions League in a bar, go out for a pizza etc.).

After work many venture out for a drink just to get off the boat for a little while. Crew tend to frequent the same bars, no matter where in the world, they are located. Some of the more popular yachty bars in the area are;

• The Corner Bar
• The Anchor (Cala Mayor)
• The Crow’s Nest (Cala Mayor)
• Mojo Beach (Cala Mayor)

Long story short, making a good name for yourself and being proactive in your quest to build a larger network will pay off, eventually. The more people you know, the larger are the chances that work will come to you. Good luck!

10 Weekly budget

Make your money last as long as possible. As simple as that may sound, you will have a fair few expenses including;

• Travel insurance
• Local transportation
• Accommodation
• Printing of business cards and CVs
• Mobile phone
• Training & ENG/1
• Unforeseen expenses

Your expenses will vary all depending on the location. South of France is by far the most expensive destination in Europe, while Palma is not exactly super cheap either. Fort Lauderdale is somewhere in between.

You can also save a fair amount of money on making your own food or sharing with others rather than going out for pizzas, kebabs and burgers.

Over in Antibes some have been using the local campsites in the past, which saved them a bunch of money. Unfortunately, camping is unavailable in Palma de Mallorca. Many end up renting a private room or share a flat with other job seeking yachties. These options are cheaper than most crew houses and hostels, but keep in mind the importance of networking, which will be limited in particular when renting a private room. If you choose to stay in a hostel or in a crew house inquire about prices prior to booking. You can find a list of crew houses and hostels in the crew house section.

There is also money to be saved on local transportation. To get around the city, you can buy a second hand bicycle or moped on Facebook or travel by bus and train instead of by taxi, even though they are not terribly expensive in Palma. Simon Chippindale has a great service offering fixed-up second hand bicycles at fair prices. His “buy-it-back”-policy is also very popular with yacht crew, so you may want to check out which bikes he has in stock. Most public transportation will offer discounts on multiple journeys or day passes so look into that. There are links posted in the “Local Transport”-section.

When it comes to printing business cards, then you can have FREE business cards printed on VistaPrint . They come with a small advert on the backside, but they do the job.

Phone plans continue to change, so it is impossible to say which one is cheapest and which one suits your needs best, but also there you can save yourself a bunch. Shop around, check online rates and if in doubt, ask on Palma Yacht Crew to see what other crew recommends.

Finding daywork is obviously a complete game changer when it comes to your budget. Suddenly, you have an income, which will make life so much easier plus you spend less if you eat on board. Keep spending your money wisely. You never know when you will find work next – it could take weeks!

Putting a number on any of the expenses mentioned above is nearly impossible, as we are all different. Some will not mind sleeping in a tent, while others may want to share an AirBnB rental apartment. Some may be partying everyday while others will meet up for a cup of coffee here and there. Some may not find any daywork at all (it is not uncommon these days, unfortunately), while others find daywork on day 1. In Palma, count on a monthly budget in the range of 1,000-1,500 Euros (not including training and medical expenses).

Watch over your money like a hawk! If you piss it away, apart from having a good time, your job hunt could come to an end much sooner.

11 Training

Having the right credentials is key to finding a job on a yacht. In an industry that is surrounded by rules and regulations, there is just no way around it. Common for all crew, you must have your STCW/10 Basic Safety Training (sometimes referred to as STCW/95) and the ENG/1 or a similar seafarer medical certificate.

The minimum requirements to work on a yacht depend on the position you are looking for;

• Deckhand: STCW/10, Powerboat 1+2 including VHF
• Stewardess: STCW/10, Food & Hygiene Level 2
• Engineer: STCW/10, AEC
• Chef: STCW/10, Ship’s Cook Certificate

Desirable courses, which will improve your chances of finding work:

• Proficiency in Designated Security Duties (PDSD) (all crew)
• Personal Water Craft Instructor (PWC Instructor) (Deckhands)
• Yachtmaster Offshore (Deckhands)
• Silver Service (Stewardesses)

If these courses are not available in your current location, you can do them in Antibes, Palma, Fort Lauderdale and UK – among others but remember to book your courses well in advance!

In the “Crew Positions” section, you can read more about which certificates are necessary to work in the position you are looking for and to progress up the ranks.

Course prices vary hugely between destinations. In countries such as South Africa, the Philippines and various Eastern European countries, you will find some of the best prices. In the UK and US prices are fairly reasonable while in Palma and Antibes some prices are at the higher end of the scale. It definitely pays to compare prices between the schools if you are on a somewhat tight budget. Do keep in mind any added travel expenses should you decide to do courses in other locations. Also make sure whether or not VAT is included in the course price. Some schools list their prices excluding VAT.

There are a number of training schools in Palma. All of them have a good reputation, and prices are mostly about the same. Some may offer you 10% Palma Yacht Crew discount off some courses, but you will have to inquire directly.

Courses available locally include (but are not limited to)

• STCW/10 (English or Spanish)
• Powerboat Level 1+2
• Yachtmaster Offshore and Ocean
• Proficiency in Designated Security Duties (PDSD)
• PWC Proficiency / Instructor
• OOW modules
• Food Safety & Hygiene Level 2
• Silver Service
• U.E.S.T. interior modules
• Medical training

If you have any questions, remember you can always ask on Palma Yacht Crew !

Good luck to you – and enjoy Mallorca!

Getting around Mallorca is generally pretty easy. During the evenings or on public holidays public transportation can be somewhat limited, however. Tell the driver where you need to go, and he will normally let you know where to get off.

As nearly anywhere in the world, when you use public transport, please

Watch your belongings! Several cases of crew having lost bags, phones etc . have been reported in the past.

With that said, the public transport around Mallorca is actually quite good and safe. You will find the following options;

General Info:   – www.aena.es/en/palma-mallorca-airport/airlines.html

Flight Info:        – www.aena.es/csee/Satellite/infovuelos/en/

To get into Palma from the airport get on Line 1 Airport–Palma . The bus stop is located after the taxis when exiting the Arrivals.

To get to or from the airport on Bus #1:

• STP/Astilleros and Santa Catalina get on/off opposite Bar Cuba.
• The rest of the port get on/off at Paseo Maritimo, but mention the name of the marina to the driver as the Paseo has numerous stops.
• La Lonja (Bluewater Yachting / Corner Bar) get on/off at Paseo Mallorc a
• The city centre get on/off at Plaza España

Buses operate between 06.30 to 22.10h in direction of Palma and 05.30 to 21.30h in direction of the airport. A single fare is 5 Euros for non-residents. The bus stops just outside the Departures and Arrivals with easy access to both.

The bus- and train station with connections to all other destinations on the island is located beneath Plaza España

You can find bus schedules here:

– Palma:                         www.emtpalma.es

Additionally, the Ferrocarril de Sóller vintage train serves the very scenic route to Sóller from where you connect to Puerto de Sóller via the tram service. This makes for a great day of exploring. The Saturday market (8-14.00h) in Sóller followed by seaside lunch and drink in the port is a Mallorca classic and a must-do!

STAMPING OUT of SCHENGEN:

If you are joining or getting off a yacht in Palma, and you are there on a Schengen visa, then you need to get stamped out / back into the Schengen, so your 90-day permit to stay reflects exactly how many days you have left on your visa.

What you need to do is to go to the ferry terminal behind Club de Mar. Take the escalator to the 1 st  floor and on the right of the building you will find the Police office (Puesto Fronterizo de la Policia Nacional). It’s open 8am – 2pm. Bring a stamped and signed (by the captain) crew list, letter from captain, boat registration details, your contract and your passport. If you are too busy to do this yourself, Estella Shipping offers this service as well for a fee.

What type of boat is best for sailing in Palma?

If you want to explore all the beautiful beaches that you can discover around Palma, you should opt for a boat with a shallow draft for easy access.

Rent a catamaran in Palma

Pros of renting a catamaran in Palma

A catamaran rental in Palma de Mallorca is the perfect choice for anyone who seeks to have the most relaxing boat holiday on the island. Due to the way catamarans are built and the two hulls on which they stand, they allow for more space on board and on deck. You can really stretch your legs and make full use of the space on deck when sunbathing. Equally, you can enjoy a good night of sleep without feeling like you’re stuck in a little cabin on board your boat.

A catamaran charter in Palma de Mallorca is great for anyone who wants to be flexible, but with a plan B on hand. You can set your sail and sail with the winds when they are strong enough, but can revert to using the engine if it’s not. That way you won’t ever get stuck in the middle of the sea.

A catamaran hire in Palma is going to make you very happy if you want to explore all the beautiful and more remote beaches Mallorca has to offer. Catamarans have a shallow draft, making them the perfect choice for exploring and for easy access to the shore.

Cons of renting a catamaran in Palma

However, chartering a catamaran in Palma doesn’t just come with pros. Especially the size of a catamaran can pose some difficulties when trying to find a spot for mooring at the marinas. And you probably have to pay extra. After all, you’re taking up more space and therefore might prevent another boat from taking the space next to you.

Rent a sailboat in Palma

Pros of renting a sailboat in Palma

A sailboat charter in Palma is a wonderful opportunity to practice your sailing skills, especially novice sailors will appreciate the fact that the winds and overall weather conditions are not as strong and intense as in other destinations in the Mediterranean.

Rent a sailboat in Palma de Mallorca if you feel like going on an adventure while sailing more sustainably. Sailboats don’t produce extra CO2-emissions as they are solely fueled by the wind. This in turn also makes them cheaper options than other types of boats.

Cons of renting a sailboat in Palma

One of the downsides of a sailboat charter in Palma is the fact that sailboats solely run on wind. While it does make them more environmentally friendly to sail, it gives you less flexibility on your sailing holiday as you are completely dependent on the wind and weather conditions. If the wind suddenly stops blowing, you might find yourself stuck on the water and have to patiently wait for the wind to pick up again.

Another downside of a sailboat hire in Palma can be the fact that sailboats have a keel which makes it difficult, or even dangerous, to sail too close to the shore. So if you’re planning on relaxing on one of the many beaches, a sailboat is probably not the right choice for you.

Sailboat charter in Palma

Rent a motorboat in Palma

Pros of renting a motorboat in Palma

A motorboat charter in Palma is great for anyone who wants to discover all the stunning and remote beaches Mallorca has to offer. Motorboats generally have a shallow draft, making them perfect for sailing closer to the shore. You can easily access the beaches and don’t have to worry about swimming very long distances in order to reach the beaches.

Another great thing about a motorboat charter in Palma de Mallorca is the fact that motorboats are relatively fast compared to other boats. You can easily plan on visiting many different spots in one day. This is particularly great for anyone who is relatively short on time, but has a long to do list.

Cons of renting a motorboat in Palma

One of the downsides of a motorboat charter in Palma de Mallorca is the fact that they only run on fuel, giving you a lot less flexibility than other types of boats. You always have to stay closer to the marinas in order to refuel should you run low on petrol.

The fact that motorboats only run on petrol also makes them a lot more expensive. You might even have to pay extra for fuel in addition to your bareboat charter in Palma de Mallorca . If you are driving excessively during your trip, don’t be surprised if you receive a very high bill for that.

Motorboat rental in Palma

Luxury boat holidays in Palma

Sunk Mallorca-based superyacht likely to cost insurers at least $150 million, experts say

Insurers of the Mallorca -based Bayesian superyacht that sank this month, killing tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and six others, could be on the hook for at least $150 million , according to the first estimates by industry experts. The British-flagged 56-metre-long (184-foot-long) yacht, which the experts estimated cost around $40 million, capsized and went down on August 19 within minutes of being hit by a pre-dawn storm while anchored off northern Sicily.

The superyacht’s hull was insured against physical damage by yacht insurance provider OMAC and a consortium of insurers including Travelers Companies Inc, Navium Marine and Convex, Reuters reported last week. Its protection and indemnity (P&I) insurance, which typically covers third-party liability claims including for environmental damage, injury and death, was provided by British Marine. The hull was likely insured for around $40 million, while the P&I cover would be larger, insurance sources said.

“Our understanding is that the cost of the boat was between $40 and $50 million, so the limit of the hull & machinery policy was probably around those values,” said Marcos Alvarez, managing director, global financial institution ratings at Morningstar DBR. The P&I policy would likely be “several multiples” of the hull policy, or $200-300 million, Alvarez added, noting it would also likely cover liability payments even if the captain or crew are found to be negligent.

More related news.

Prosecutors in the town of Termini Imerese, near Palermo, are investigating the captain and two other crew members. An investigation does not imply guilt or mean formal charges will follow. Prosecutors have said the probe would take time and require salvaging the wreck. Oscar Seikaly, CEO of broker NSI Insurance Group, that provides yacht insurance, estimated the hull value at $40-70 million, but said P&I cover might not total more than $100 million. P&I insurance would also cover recovery of the Bayesian, said Francesco Dubbioso, country manager for Italy for insurer Alta Signa Europe, who estimated the superyacht’s value at $30 million to $40 million.

Reuters is the first to report the potential insurance costs. OMAC, Travelers and Navium Marine did not immediately respond to Reuters’ for comment. Convex declined to comment. The Bayesian disaster, which has puzzled experts who said the boat would have been built to withstand a severe storm, adds to recent woes for yacht insurers , who have faced a raft of hurricane losses in the past few years. Premium rates have risen by four to five times in the past couple of years in parts of the U.S. and the Caribbean, and yacht insurers have cut the amount of cover they provide because of the risks, Seikaly said.

As a result, insurers have increased rates and re-evaluated their guidelines and risk appetite , according to industry experts. As well as hurricanes, insured losses have mostly stemmed from severe storms, floods, and other weather events in North America, the Caribbean, and Europe, according to a report by broker Marsh. Seikaly said four clients had last week been ready to buy boats but changed their minds because of the high cost of insurance.

Climate change was also likely to add to yacht insurers’ worries, Seikaly added, as it throws up more unexpected events. “Whoever thought a storm in the Mediterranean in the month of August is going to sink a ship?” The captain of the yacht, James Cutfield is recovering at his home in Mallorca , according to sources close to him, while a team of lawyers, led by Aldo Mordiglia, is working on his defence. The captain is said to have arrived on the island, where he lives with his family, on Tuesday night aboard a private jet which flew from Palma to Palermo to collect him. Although his passport has been withdrawn by the Italian judiciary, Cutfield has a certified photocopy which allows him freedom of movement.
