Fancy Lobster SL: 2 boats listed in the Balearics
Fancy Lobster is a multi-destination sailing charter company - per its own site it also runs cruises in the Canary Islands, the Caribbean, and a Panama expedition, alongside its Balearic offering, with themed multi-week cruise routes such as the Colombian Pearl Route and San Blas. In the Balearics specifically, two boats appear in its live listings: the Bali 4.5 Open Space "Albert" and the Bavaria 51 Cruiser "Papaya", both 45-51ft.
A notable feature of the operator's business model is that it offers charter by the cabin or single berth, not just whole-boat bareboat or crewed charter - useful for solo travellers or smaller groups who don't want to book an entire yacht.
Fancy Lobster SL operates a mixed fleet of catamarans and monohulls with 2 boats (45–51ft) in its live Balearic listings. The listings below come directly from the operator's live MMK booking data — the same system the availability search on this page queries, so fleet and availability cannot drift apart. The operator's own site is at fancylobster.com.
This profile is independent editorial content, not paid placement. Exact base marina, equipment and current condition are confirmed per boat at enquiry through Boat Rental Balearics.
Fancy Lobster SL’s base & getting there
No confirmed Balearic marina is listed on the stamped page, though the operator's own site features Mallorca imagery including Port de Soller and Menorca's Ciutadella, suggesting itineraries touching both islands. Confirm the exact embarkation point directly with Fancy Lobster once your boat and dates are set.
The fleet, boat by boat
The Bali 4.5 Open Space "Albert" (2020, 10 berths) is a catamaran with four enclosed cabins, each with a private bathroom, plus a large open-plan saloon - the operator's own site emphasises comfort and family-friendliness for this style of boat. The Bavaria 51 Cruiser "Papaya" (2019, 10 berths) is the fleet's monohull option, similarly sized in guest capacity but a different sailing style entirely.
| Boat | Year | Length | Berths |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bali 4.5 Open Space «Albert» | 2020 | 45 ft | 10 (10+2) |
| Bavaria 51 Cruiser «Papaya» | 2019 | 51 ft | 10 |
Bareboat charter requires a recognised qualification under Spanish rules — see our licence guide. Deposits and fuel follow standard Balearic practice: deposit and insurance · fuel costs.
Who Fancy Lobster SL suits
Given the cabin-charter option and the operator's broader multi-destination cruise business, this operator particularly suits solo travellers, couples or small groups happy to book a cabin rather than a whole boat, as well as anyone drawn to an all-inclusive-style charter (the operator's own site lists fuel, bedding, a starter provisioning pack, SUP and snorkelling gear as included). Larger groups wanting the whole boat can charter the Bali 4.5 catamaran or Bavaria 51 monohull outright.
Booking guidance
Fancy Lobster offers bareboat, skippered, fully crewed and cabin/single-berth charter according to its own site, so the licence question depends entirely on which booking mode you choose - only bareboat requires a recognised sailing qualification under Spanish rules. Given the operator's broader Mediterranean and Caribbean cruise business, it's worth being clear that you're booking the Balearic fleet specifically when enquiring.
