Eighteen days, two islands and a constellation of hidden bays — from the limestone cliffs of Mallorca through the secret coves of Ibiza and Formentera, and onward to the wild coastline of Menorca.
This page is your shared logbook for the trip. Bookmark it: itinerary, weather, the boat, what to bring, what to wear, and what we can get up to each day are all in here. It updates as the plan firms up.
Two tours sharing one yacht. A Mallorca loop for the first week, quiet anchorages across the Balearics for the second. Both tours start and end at Club de Mar, Palma.

Tour 1 (Days 1–8) loops Mallorca's NW coast. Tour 2 (Days 8–18) heads to Ibiza, Formentera and Menorca via quiet anchorages. Both tours start and end at Club de Mar, Palma — changeover at Palma on Mon 27 July, final disembark also at Palma on Thu 6 Aug. Routes reflect Captain Alex's operational notes (Posidonia anchoring restrictions, LIND's 52m beam, etc.) and are indicative — the Captain has final say on conditions.
Two groups of friends, with a changeover at Club de Mar, Palma on Monday 27 July.
Days 1 – 8 · Mallorca & Ibiza
Days 8 – 18 · Ibiza · Formentera · Mallorca · Menorca

Reservations: Burgess and the crew can book on your behalf — give Kendall (Chief Stew) or the Captain at least 24 hours notice. Most starred places need longer.
Spain in summer means festes. Several fall during our charter — worth timing a port visit around. Confirm precise programmes with the crew closer to the date.
Spain's patron saint. Bands, parades and fireworks across Mallorca — Alcúdia and Santanyí throw particularly good ones. We'll be crossing to Ibiza but it's worth knowing.
Ibiza's older quarters fill with concerts and fireworks. If we're in Cala Jondal that night the glow is visible from anchor.
Patroness of Ibiza — processions, ancient ball pagès folk dancing, fireworks. We'll be in Menorca but it's the island's biggest summer festival.
Menorca's defining summer tradition — neighbourhood patron-saint days with horses jumping into crowds (the "jaleo"). Wear closed shoes ashore on festa nights.
Open evenings in summer. Long-running institution: clothes, crafts, music. Great after a tender ashore from Porroig.
Not a festival, an institution. Locals walk the harbour-front from 19:00 onward, before dinner. Joining the paseo is one of summer's quietest pleasures.
