Finest Yachting, a German-market operator based in Palma de Mallorca, does something less common: it runs a genuinely mixed fleet that spans a modern bluewater sailing yacht, a sporty day-and-weekend motorboat, and a proper flagship motor yacht at the top end. For a small operation, that is an unusual spread of DNA to hold together under one name.<\/p><p>What makes this worth noting for anyone planning a charter is not novelty for its own sake, but choice. A <a href=\"\/guides\/yacht-charter-with-children\/\">family<\/a> that wants a week of gentle sailing between <a href=\"\/guides\/anchoring-rules-posidonia-balearics\/\">anchorages<\/a>, a group of friends after a fast afternoon along the coast, and a couple celebrating an anniversary who want a crewed motor yacht with proper standing headroom and a flybridge are, in most Mallorca operators' worlds, three different companies. With Finest Yachting they are three conversations with the same charter desk. Whether that suits a given trip depends entirely on what each of the three boats is actually like once you look past the brochure line - which is what the rest of this profile sets out to do, working from the operator's own live booking data rather than marketing copy.<\/p><p>Finest Yachting operates a monohull fleet with 3 boats (35&ndash;64ft) in its live Balearic listings. The listings below come directly from the operator's live MMK booking data &mdash; the same system the availability search on this page queries, so fleet and availability cannot drift apart. The operator's own site is at <a href=\"https:\/\/finest-yachting-mallorca.de\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">finest-yachting-mallorca.de<\/a>.<\/p><p>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.<\/p><\/section><section id=\"base\"><h2>Finest Yachting&rsquo;s base &amp; getting there<\/h2><p>Finest Yachting operates out of Palma de Mallorca, with its registered office in the Santa Catalina district of the city - a part of Palma known as much for its market and restaurant scene as for its proximity to the water. As a German-market operator, the business is set up to serve clients travelling from Germany, Austria and Switzerland in particular, with German as the working language of communication alongside Spanish and, typically, English.<\/p><p>Mallorca as an island is exceptionally well suited to this kind of operation. Palma's airport is one of the busiest in the Mediterranean during the season, with direct connections to most major German and central European cities, and the drive from the terminal into the city and its marinas rarely takes more than twenty to thirty minutes outside peak traffic. For charter guests, that means a short, straightforward transfer from touchdown to boat, and it is one of the practical reasons Mallorca - and Palma specifically - has become the default entry point for Balearic sailing and motorboat charters more broadly.<\/p><p>Beyond the office address in Santa Catalina, Finest Yachting has not published further specifics of berth locations or marina names on its website at the time of writing, so it would be misleading to name a particular marina here. Prospective charterers should treat \"Palma, Mallorca\" as the reliable base-level fact and confirm the exact pick-up marina and boarding time directly with the operator once a booking is confirmed, as is standard practice across the charter industry - final berth allocations can shift between marinas in a working port city like Palma depending on the season and the individual boat.<\/p><\/section><section id=\"fleet\"><h2>The fleet, boat by boat<\/h2><p>The newest boat in the fleet, and the one that will draw sailing purists to Finest Yachting in the first place, is the Bavaria C46 Infinity, built in 2024. At 48 feet overall and sleeping eight across a 6+2 layout, this is a genuinely current-generation cruising yacht rather than an older hull kept presentable through refits. Bavaria's C-Line was designed with exactly this kind of charter use in mind - beamy, stable, forgiving to handle, with enough cabins and heads to let two or three families or couples share a week without living on top of one another. For anyone planning an island-hopping <a href=\"\/itineraries\/\">itinerary<\/a> around Mallorca's anchorages, or a longer passage across to Menorca or the Cabrera archipelago under sail, Infinity is the boat in this fleet built for exactly that brief: comfortable at anchor, capable underway, and new enough that the systems, upholstery and rigging should still feel fresh rather than tired.<\/p><p>At the other end of the size range sits the Bavaria Sport 360 Open, named Felicita, a 35-foot motorboat originally built in 2015 and given a refit in 2025. This is not a boat designed for a week aboard - with four berths it can sleep a small group at a pinch, but its natural role is the <a href=\"\/compare\/day-charter-vs-weekly-charter\/\">day charter<\/a> or short weekend trip: a fast run out to a quiet cove for lunch and swimming, an afternoon along the coastline, or a sociable half-day on the water for a group that wants speed and open deck space rather than cabins and galley routine. The 2025 refit matters here more than the 2015 build date; a well-maintained open sports boat of this size, freshly refreshed, tends to punch well above its age in terms of how it actually feels to charter, and it is the boat in this fleet best suited to guests who want to be on the water for hours rather than days.<\/p><p>The flagship, in every sense, is the Azimut 64 Not Dead Yet - a 64-foot motor yacht built in 2015 with six berths. Azimut's 64 model line has long been positioned as a serious flybridge motor yacht: substantial beam, a proper saloon, and the kind of finish and systems that put it firmly in the crewed-charter category rather than something a competent amateur takes out solo. At 64 feet it is by far the largest vessel in the Finest Yachting fleet, and its six-berth capacity - modest relative to its length - signals a boat built around space and comfort for a smaller number of guests rather than maximum occupancy. This is the choice for an occasion that calls for genuine scale: a milestone celebration, a small corporate group, or simply a party that wants the room, the flybridge and the presence that only a boat of this size delivers.<\/p><p>Taken together, the three boats cover distinct and non-overlapping briefs rather than three variations on the same idea, which is precisely what makes the mixed fleet workable in practice: a sailor booking Infinity, a group booking Felicita for an afternoon, and a party chartering the Azimut 64 with crew are not really competing for the same slot in the calendar, or the same kind of guest.<\/p><table><thead><tr><th>Boat<\/th><th>Year<\/th><th>Length<\/th><th>Berths<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Bavaria C46 &laquo;Infinity&raquo;<\/td><td>2024<\/td><td>48 ft<\/td><td>8 (6+2)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bavaria Sport 360 Open &laquo;Felicita&raquo;<\/td><td>2015 refit 2025<\/td><td>35 ft<\/td><td>4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Azimut 64 &laquo;Not Dead Yet&raquo;<\/td><td>2015<\/td><td>64 ft<\/td><td>6<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p>Bareboat charter requires a recognised qualification under Spanish rules &mdash; see our <a href=\"\/guides\/boat-licence-requirements-spain\/\">licence guide<\/a>.

Sailors and families planning a multi-day cruise around the Balearics, who want a modern, stable yacht with real cabin space, are the natural fit for the C46. Groups after a lively half-day or full-day on the water - swimming stops, a beach lunch, music, no overnight commitment - are better served by the Sport 360 Open. And parties wanting a crewed, high-comfort motor yacht experience for a special occasion, with the scale and finish that only a boat in the 60-foot-plus class provides, should be looking at the Azimut 64.<\/p><p>Given that Finest Yachting operates as a German-market business from Palma, it is also a natural fit for German-speaking charterers who want to deal with an operator communicating fluently in their own language while based locally on the island, though its Mallorca location and mixed fleet make it relevant to any charterer whose plans fit one of the three boats above.<\/p><\/section><section id=\"booking\"><h2>Booking guidance<\/h2><p>For <a href=\"\/guides\/bareboat-or-skippered-charter\/\">bareboat<\/a> charter in Spain - that is, chartering without a <a href=\"\/guides\/skipper-hire-cost-balearics\/\">skipper<\/a> and taking the helm yourself - Spanish maritime authorities require a recognised sailing or motorboat licence appropriate to the vessel and its engine power, along with VHF radio operator qualifications in most cases; UK and other EU\/EEA equivalents are generally accepted, but it is worth confirming exact requirements with the operator ahead of booking, since rules can vary depending on boat size and whether the charter is coastal or extends further offshore. As with charter operators generally across the Balearics, a security deposit is standard practice, typically held against damage or loss and returned after the boat is checked back in; the specific amount and terms will depend on which of the three boats is booked and should be confirmed directly with Finest Yachting rather than assumed.<\/p><p>Timing matters more in the Balearics than in many charter destinations, because the high-season window - broadly June through September - sees strong demand across Mallorca, and boats in an appealing, well-specified fleet like this one, particularly a nearly new yacht such as the C46, tend to book up well in advance for peak weeks. Anyone planning a summer sailing holiday around Mallorca is well advised to enquire early. It is also worth noting that larger motor yachts of the Azimut 64's size are typically chartered with a professional crew rather than bareboat, both as standard industry practice and, in many cases, as a practical or regulatory necessity given the vessel's size and systems - so guests interested in the flagship should expect the booking conversation to include crew arrangements as a matter of course, rather than an optional extra.<\/p><p>For wider planning reading \u2014 season timing, licences, deposits, provisioning \u2014 see the <a href=\"\/guides\/\">charter planning library<\/a>.<\/p><\/section><section id=\"live\"><h2>Search Finest Yachting's availability<\/h2><p>Scoped to this operator only &mdash;
