The Balearics: The Fabulous Four

Day 1: Arrive in Ibiza and be greeted at the airport by your captain who will accompany you to your charter yacht. As soon as you are settled, depart for the lovely island of Formentera to spend the day in quiet comfort, snorkeling and swimming. Return to Ibiza for a night of fun.

Day 2: Enjoy a leisurely breakfast (or lunch, depending on what time you returned to the yacht from the clubs!) as you motor up the coast of Ibiza Cala D’en Serra. This exquisite sandy cove has turquoise waters that are perfect for snorkeling. Dinner will be served al fresco under star-studded skies. Following dinner, the yacht will depart for Mallorca, anchoring off the rugged island of Cabrera if the weather is settled.

Day 3: Leave Cabrera for Palma, taking time to explore the city, including the La Seu Cathedral and the surrounding sights. Return to the yacht for lunch underway as you head on up to Porto Cristo to visit the Coves del Drac, a wonderful cave with an astounding subterranean lake. After your visit, it is just a short cruise up to Port d’Alcudia. Enjoy dinner on board or try out the local cuisine.

Day 4: After breakfast, you might opt to take a short bike ride to the Parc Natural De S’Albufera for a walk and a chance to see unusual species of birds. Then, back to the yacht for some watersports before leaving for Menorca. Either anchor or dock in the capital city of Mao (Mahon) for the evening.

Day 5: Depart after breakfast for the northern end of Menorca, to Fornells. This pretty fishing village is situated at the mouth of a long bay. There are several anchorages here, each one nicer than the one before. Your captain will choose the one perfect for you. Spend the rest of the day playing in the water, and the evening anchored under the stars.

Day 6: Enjoy breakfast underway, as your yacht departs early for the Port de Soller, a beautiful natural harbor surrounded by the spectacular mountains of the Serra de Tramuntana. If you are a music lover, you might want to hire a car and visit the Carthusain Monastery of Validemossa, where Chopin spent time.

Day 7: Take a lovely short journey back to Palma in time to depart to the airport on Majorca, where you will catch a flight back to Ibiza, or simply leave from Palma to your final destination.
