On Mallorca the operator lists 25 boats in its live Balearic booking data at time of writing, a mixed fleet of monohull sailing yachts and a handful of catamarans and motor yachts, ranging from the 37ft Bavaria C38 &laquo;Levante&raquo; up to the 56ft Moody 54 &laquo;Adventuro&raquo;, with several boats added new for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:16px\">The operator runs two neighbouring Mallorca bases rather than one: Club Mar&iacute;timo in Can Pastilla, in the eastern part of Palma Bay near the airport, and Marina Naviera Balear in the centre of Palma's own harbour, added as their newest Balearic base in 2025. First Class Sailing's own site does not break down which specific hull sits at which of the two marinas &mdash; check this with Boat Rental Balearics or the operator directly when you enquire about a specific boat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:16px\">Fleet details in the search below come directly from First Class Sailing Spain's own live availability system; this profile is independent editorial content, not paid placement.

Winter\" and \"Yates Baleares\". According to the operator's own site, it sits under ten minutes from Palma Airport.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:14px\">In 2025 the operator added a second, newer Mallorca base: Marina Naviera Balear, in the middle of Palma's own harbour, a short walk from the old town and the cathedral. First Class Sailing describes this as roughly 20 minutes from the airport by taxi. Between the two bases, the fleet effectively covers both the eastern bay (Can Pastilla) and central Palma &mdash; useful if your accommodation is closer to one side of the bay than the other.

Marina Naviera Balear, the newer central-Palma base, runs roughly 20 minutes away by taxi according to the operator, since it sits further round the bay in the heart of Palma's harbour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:14px\">Both options are short enough that a pre-booked taxi or hire car is the practical choice for most charter guests arriving with luggage and provisions; Palma Airport has a standard taxi rank and all major hire-car desks in the arrivals hall. Once at Marina Naviera Balear, guests are within easy walking distance of central Palma's restaurants and shops for pre-charter provisioning; Can Pastilla has its own beachfront strip of cafes and supermarkets closer to the pontoons.

Bareboat charter of any of these boats requires a valid, recognised sailing qualification under Spanish rules; see our <a href=\"\/guides\/boat-licence-requirements-spain\/\">boat licence requirements guide<\/a> for what qualifies, or ask about a skipper if you'd rather not hold the qualification yourself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:14px\">Like most charter agencies, First Class Sailing Spain does not publish one fixed rate per boat independent of dates &mdash; prices move with season and demand, as shown by the live \"from\" prices above and in the search tool. As a general planning range for boats of this size and age in Mallorca during peak season, expect roughly &euro;2,600&ndash;&euro;4,000 a week for the 37&ndash;41ft monohulls and catamarans, &euro;4,000&ndash;&euro;6,000 for the 42&ndash;48ft range, and &euro;6,000&ndash;&euro;10,000+ for the 51&ndash;56ft boats including the Moody 54 flagship, with lower rates in shoulder season. These are indicative Balearic ranges by size and age, not confirmed First Class Sailing quotes &mdash; see our <a href=\"\/guides\/yacht-charter-mallorca-cost\/\">Mallorca charter cost guide<\/a> and use the live search above for an exact number on your dates.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"local-knowledge\">\nLocal knowledge<h2 style=\"margin-bottom:0\">Where boats from Palma Bay can reach in a day<\/h2>\n<p style=\"color:#9db6bc\">Realistic distances, not marketing distances.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#c9d8db\">From either Can Pastilla or Palma, the closest easy destinations sit along Mallorca's south-west coast: Cala Portals Vells and the Portals Vells caves are a short run from Palma Bay, well within an hour, and popular with day-charter guests for their clear, sheltered water. A little further along the same stretch, Illetes and Illa des Sec offer calm anchorages close to Palma's western suburbs, realistic even as a half-day out for a boat starting from either base.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:14px;color:#c9d8db\">For a fuller day, Port d'Andratx and the cliffs around Sa Dragonera island sit further west along the coast &mdash; a longer outing that rewards an early start, with dramatic scenery and, at Sa Dragonera, a protected nature reserve worth the extra distance. Both bases can reach this stretch of coast within a comfortable day's sail given typical Mallorca summer conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:14px;color:#c9d8db\">Cabrera, the national park archipelago south of Mallorca, is the ambitious option: it requires a permit to visit (limited daily numbers, arranged in advance) and a longer crossing than the west-coast coves, so it suits a full-day or overnight itinerary rather than a casual stop &mdash; check current permit rules before planning a Cabrera day with First Class Sailing Spain's boats.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:14px;color:#c9d8db\">Fuel and deposit norms here follow the same rules as any Balearic charter &mdash; see our <a href=\"\/guides\/fuel-costs-yacht-charter\/\">yacht charter fuel costs<\/a> and <a href=\"\/guides\/charter-deposit-insurance-explained\/\">deposit and insurance<\/a> guides, and our <a href=\"\/compare\/catamaran-vs-monohull-charter\/\">catamaran vs monohull<\/a> guide if you're deciding between the fleet's sailing yachts and its smaller catamaran contingent.<\/p>\n01<h3 style=\"font-size:21px;margin:10px 0 8px\">Bases<\/h3><p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#9db6bc\">Two Palma Bay bases: Club Mar&iacute;timo, Can Pastilla, and Marina Naviera Balear, Palma.<\/p>\n02<h3 style=\"font-size:21px;margin:10px 0 8px\">Fleet<\/h3><p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#9db6bc\">25 boats in the live Balearic listings, mostly monohulls with some catamarans and one motor yacht, 37&ndash;56ft.<\/p>\n03<h3 style=\"font-size:21px;margin:10px 0 8px\">Islands served<\/h3><p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#9db6bc\">Mallorca, sailing from Palma Bay; the operator also runs separate Croatia bases, unrelated to this fleet.<\/p>\n04<h3 style=\"font-size:21px;margin:10px 0 8px\">Charter mode<\/h3><p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#9db6bc\">Both bareboat and skippered options across the fleet.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"faq\">\nUseful answers<h2>Questions about this operator<\/h2><p style=\"max-width:320px\">Clear information before you choose a boat or make an enquiry.<\/p>\n<details><summary>Where is First Class Sailing Spain based?<\/summary><p>Two neighbouring bases in Palma Bay, Mallorca: Club Mar&iacute;timo in Can Pastilla, and Marina Naviera Balear in central Palma, added in 2025.
