Chartering a yacht in Mallorca starts from around 480 € per day for a smaller motor yacht and can reach 8,000 € or more for a premium vessel with full crew. The total cost depends on the size of the yacht, the time of year, and what extras you add on top of the base rate. If you want to understand exactly what you’d be paying and what you get at each level, this is the breakdown.

The main factors that affect the price
Size and type of yacht
Size is the single biggest driver of price. A well-equipped 10-metre motor yacht for ten guests sits at a very different price point from a 22-metre model with flybridge, multiple cabins and a full crew. As a general reference, in Mallorca you can expect day charter rates roughly in these ranges:
- Yachts up to 11 m: from 480 € to 900 € per day
- Yachts between 12 and 16 m: from 1.200 € to 2.900 € per day
- Yachts between 17 and 22 m: from 1.920 € to 4.700 € per day
- Yachts above 22 m: from 4.250 € to 8.500 € per day
Motor yachts, sailing yachts and catamarans each have their own pricing logic, but size remains the dominant variable across all types.
Season
Peak season in Mallorca runs from late June through August. During these weeks, demand is highest and prices reflect that. Shoulder season, covering May, early June and September, offers the same yacht in identical conditions at notably lower rates. If your dates are flexible, chartering in September in particular combines excellent weather with more competitive pricing and quieter anchorages.
Duration
Most yachts in Mallorca are available for day charters as well as multi-day or weekly bookings. Weekly charters are generally priced at a lower effective daily rate than back-to-back day charters. If you’re considering more than two or three days on the water, a weekly rate is almost always the better value.
What you need to add on top of the base rate
On crewed charters, the base rate covers the yacht and crew but not the variable costs incurred during the trip. These are typically managed through an Advance Provisioning Allowance, a sum paid upfront that the captain uses to cover fuel, provisioning, port fees and any extras you request. On most mid-range and premium charters, the APA runs between 20 % and 35 % of the base charter rate.
The other cost to factor in is crew gratuity. It is not mandatory, but it is standard practice to tip the crew at the end of a crewed charter. The usual range is 10 % to 15 % of the base rate in the Mediterranean, paid to the captain for distribution among the team.
On day charters with a skipper only, the structure is simpler: fuel is either included or charged at cost, and there is no provisioning allowance, since guests typically bring their own food and drinks or arrange catering separately.
How much does it cost to charter a yacht per person?
This is where yacht chartering often surprises people. Because the cost is shared across the group, the per-person figure is frequently far lower than expected.
A day charter on a 12-metre yacht at 1.200 € for a group of ten guests works out at 120 € per person. A premium 19-metre motor yacht at 4.700 € for ten guests is 470 € per person for a full day on the water, with crew, in one of the most beautiful sailing destinations in Europe. Framed that way, the comparison with a high-end beach club day or a private villa rental becomes straightforward.
The per-person logic is even more compelling on weekly charters, where accommodation, transport between destinations and most daily experiences are rolled into a single cost.
What you get at each price level in Mallorca
At the entry level, from 480 € to around 900 € per day, you get a well-maintained motor yacht of 8 to 12 metres with a skipper, suitable for day trips along the southern coast or to nearby coves. Comfortable, practical and a genuinely good introduction to chartering.
From 1.200 € to 2.900 € per day, the range opens up considerably: flybridge models, more powerful engines, greater range and space for groups of up to 12. These yachts cover more ground in a day and offer a noticeably more comfortable experience on board.
From 3.000 € upwards, you are in full-comfort territory: larger vessels with multiple deck levels, professional crew beyond the skipper, and the ability to combine day trips with overnight stays. At this level, the on-board experience becomes the destination in itself as much as the coastline you’re exploring.
