Med Cat Yachts Yacht Charter — 7 Boats in the Balearics

Med Cat Yachts: 7 boats listed in the Balearics

Med Cat Yachts is one of the more focused names you will come across when researching catamarán charter in the Balearics: a specialist that deals exclusively in Bali catamarans, rather than trying to be all things to all sailors. Where many charter agencies mix monocasco, motor yachts and catamarans from half a dozen builders, Med Cat Yachts has built its identity around a single French yard's philosophy of open-plan, easy-living multihulls. The result, for a prospective charterer, is a fleet that behaves consistently from one boat to the next - the helm stations, the saloon layouts, the fold-down transoms and the general feel underway all share a familia resemblance, which makes comparing their seven Balearic boats a genuinely useful exercise rather than an apples-and-oranges guessing game.

What stands out most on paper is how young this fleet is. Every yacht in the Balearic line-up was delivered between 2023 and 2026, with several of the newest and largest models - the 55-footers and 58-footers - only entering service in the past two seasons. In a chartering region where older tonnage is still common and a boat built five or six years ago can pass for "recent," a fleet this current is unusual. Newer hulls generally mean tighter fit and finish, less accumulated wear on winches, heads and air conditioning, and equipment specifications that reflect current Bali production rather than earlier iterations of the range. For anyone weighing up catamaran operators across Mallorca, Ibiza and the wider archipelago, Med Cat Yachts is worth a look precisely because so much of what they offer has barely left the yard.

Med Cat Yachts operates a catamaran fleet with 7 boats (47–58ft) 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 medcatyachts.com.

Med Cat Yachts’s base & getting there

Med Cat Yachts operates within the Balearic Islands, with Ibiza forming the natural centre of gravity for their catamaran charters - a well-established departure point for cruising the island's own coastline as well as reaching Formentera, and, for longer itinerarios centrados en la costa oeste,, the crossing towards Mallorca. As is typical for charter operators working this island group, guests fly into the relevant Balearic airport and are met for a transfer to the vessel, with embarkation handled locally on the day of departure.

The company's administrative footprint sits partly on the Spanish mainland: it maintains an office at the Port d'Aiguadolc marina in Sitges, near Barcelona, alongside a base in Andorra, reflecting an operation with more than twenty years behind it in the broader business of catamaran sale and charter across the Mediterranean. This mainland presence is a useful point of contact for enquiries and contracts, but it should not be confused with where the Balearic fleet itself is berthed and boarded - that remains within the islands, close to the cruising grounds these particular seven boats are used for.

Beyond the specific marina detail, which the operator does not publish in a way that can be independently confirmed for every yacht, it is fair to describe the set-up in general island terms: charters depart from within the Balearics, guests typically arrive by air and are guided through pickup and check-in by the operator's local team, and the cruising radius from any Balearic base naturally extends to the neighbouring islands and their surrounding fondeos cristalinos. Anyone booking a specific yacht should confirm the exact marina and embarkation point directly with Med Cat Yachts at the time of reservation, since berth assignments can vary by boat and by season.

La flota, barco por barco

The backbone of the Med Cat Yachts fleet in the Balearics is a trio of mid-size Bali family cruisers: the Bali 4.6 DISFRUTON (2024, 47ft, 10 berths), the Bali 4.8 MARTINON (2024, 49ft, 10 berths), and - stepping up a size - the Bali 5.2 DISFRUTONA (2026, 52ft, 10 berths), which sits at the top of this bracket rather than alongside it in strict length terms but shares the same broad appeal. These are the boats that best illustrate Bali's defining idea: rather than closing the saloon off from the cockpit with a conventional sliding door, Bali catamarans use a forward-opening glass wall that folds back to merge the interior saloon, the aft cockpit and, in many models, a forward cockpit accessed directly from the saloon, into one continuous, shaded, sea-level living space. It is this open-space concept - rather than any single cabin count or berth number - that defines the marque and that these three boats express at a size well suited to a full extended family or two families sharing. With ten berths apiece across the 4.6, 4.8 and 5.2, groups get generous social space without stepping into flagship-size running Los costes, making these the most versatile all-rounders in the line-up.

At the top end of that same open, sociable philosophy sit the two 5.8 flagships: the Bali 5.8 ACRATA (2026, 58ft, 8 berths, four cabins) and the Bali 5.8 CRAZY BABY TOO (2025, 58ft, 10 berths). Both are among the newest tonnage anywhere in the Balearic charter market, and both scale up the same forward-cockpit, fold-open-saloon layout that makes the smaller Balis feel spacious, but with the added volume that a 58-footer brings - larger flybridge areas, bigger tender garages and more room to spread out at anchor. The difference between the pair is telling: ACRATA's four-cabin, eight-berth configuration trades a fifth cabin for larger individual staterooms and more generous private space per guest, while CRAZY BABY TOO's ten-berth layout is built for maximum group capacity. Choosing between them is really a choice between a boat optimised for comfort per person and one optimised for headcount.

Between those two brackets sit the two crewed Bali 5.4s - MIM OCEAN 2 (2023, 55ft, 11 berths plus crew) and MIM OCEAN 3 (2024, 55ft, 8 berths, four cabins, plus crew). Both are offered with crew, which shifts the experience away from self-sufficient sin patrón sailing towards a fully managed week aboard, with someone else handling navigation, boat systems and, depending on the package, catering and service. MIM OCEAN 2's eleven-berth capacity makes it the highest-capacity yacht in the whole fleet, suited to larger groups who want a hosted trip; MIM OCEAN 3's four-cabin, eight-berth arrangement mirrors ACRATA's approach of fewer, larger cabins for guests who value space and privacy over sheer numbers. On both boats, the same Bali open-plan saloon-to-cockpit concept applies, but with crew aboard it becomes less about self-catering practicality and more about effortless flow for hosted lunches, sundowners and service throughout the day.

Taken together, the four groupings within this fleet map fairly cleanly onto four different kinds of Balearic trip: the 4.6/4.8 boats and the 5.2 for confident bareboat groups or families wanting maximum berths for moderate size and cost; the crewed 5.4s for those who want a full-service week without operating the boat themselves; and the 5.8 flagships for groups chasing the newest, largest and most spacious platforms the operator has, in either high-capacity or few-and-spacious configurations.

Who Med Cat Yachts suits

This fleet suits multi-generational families, groups of friends splitting a boat between several couples, and anyone who has decided a catamaran's stability and social space matters more than outright sailing performance. Because every yacht in the range is a Bali, quienes lo hacen catamaran charterers benefit from a consistent, easy-to-understand layout across the whole fleet, while repeat clients who have chartered a Bali before elsewhere will find the transition to a Med Cat Yachts boat intuitive. The crewed 5.4s in particular suit groups who want the space and berths of a large catamaran without taking on watchkeeping, provisioning logistics or docking themselves, while the bareboat-capable smaller models suit competent sailors who want to run their own itinerary around Ibiza, Formentera and beyond.

Orientación sobre reservas

For anyone chartering one of the bareboat-eligible yachts in this fleet without hired crew, Spanish charter regulations require at least one person aboard to hold an appropriate patrón's licence recognised in Spain - commonly an International Certificate of Competence or an equivalent recreational skipper qualification accepted by the Spanish authorities - along with sufficient demonstrable experience for a vessel of the size chartered. Given the scale of several boats in this fleet, particularly the 55ft and 58ft models, operators in this class often expect or recommend hired skippers even where bareboat chartering is technically permitted; the two Bali 5.4s in the Med Cat Yachts fleet are offered specifically with crew included, removing the licensing question for those two yachts entirely, while the remaining five boats should be confirmed with the operator regarding bareboat eligibility, required qualifications and any minimum experience thresholds for the specific model booked.

As with most Balearic charter operators, prospective clients should expect to pay a booking deposit to secure a date, with the balance due ahead of embarkation, and a separate refundable security deposit held against the yacht for the duration of the charter - the exact percentages, currencies and cancellation terms are set out in Med Cat Yachts' own charter contract and are best confirmed directly with them rather than assumed. Given how new several of these yachts are and how limited any single hull's calendar is in peak Balearic season, early enquiry - particularly for the 2025 and 2026 boats - is the most reliable way to secure a preferred week.
