Here’s how we did it:
Start — Palma de Mallorca: stocked up on food and drinks, checked in, and sailed out.
Es Trenc Beach — turquoise water, peaceful vibe, zero stress.
Cala Figuera — a cute fishing village, perfect for those “wish you were here” photo moments.
Cabrera National Park — zero motors, unreal starry nights, and snorkeling like in a nature doc.
Back to Palma — more swims, sunset drinks, and wind-in-your-hair moments.
📌 Tip: Reserve your entry to Cabrera early — they limit the number of boats.
Swimsuits, sarongs, flowy cover-ups;
A warm layer — the sea breeze can be chilly at night;
Non-marking boat shoes or barefoot only;
Phone leash or waterproof case;
Basic meds + seasickness pills;
Powerbank (maybe solar), outlets can be limited;
Dry bag, snorkel mask, optional drone.
We checked real offers on SeaRadar, and here’s what we found:
A smaller sailboat or catamaran: from €500 to €2,500+ per week, depending on size, comfort, country and season.
For example, in Spain, a 6-person+ sailboat: around €2,800 per week (discounted from €3,200) + mandatory fees (~€200-500 for insurance, cleaning, etc.).
Captain/skipper (if you don’t have a sailing license): around €1,000–1,900/week.
Total? Split between 6–8 people, it’s about €500–1,200 per person for a whole week — including the skipper and basic fees. That’s hotel-level pricing in Barcelona… except this time, you’ve got your own boat
