There is a discipline to this kind of fleet-building that is worth pausing on. Rather than assembling a mixed bag of makes, vintages and hull types, the operator has settled on a single builder and a single design language across two of its three yachts, with the third drawn from the same production <a href=\"\/guides\/yacht-charter-with-children\/\">family<\/a>. The result, for the charterer, is a fleet that behaves predictably from one boat to the next: similar sail-handling systems, similar deck layouts, similar underwater sections tuned by the same design office. That consistency rarely gets mentioned in charter brochures, yet it matters enormously to anyone who has <a href=\"\/guides\/skipper-hire-cost-balearics\/\">skippered<\/a> more than one unfamiliar boat in a week and discovered that no two charter yachts ever quite behave alike.<\/p><p>The three boats in question - Oceanis 51.1 \"Avocado\", Oceanis 46.1 \"Maracuya\" and Oceanis 51.1 \"Lima\" - were all built in the same model year, which puts them at a genuinely useful point in a charter yacht's life: broken in, systems bedded down, any early production quirks long since resolved, but still young enough to carry contemporary interior finishes, modern electronics and the newer-generation hull shapes that Beneteau introduced with the 51.1 and 46.1 ranges. For a <a href=\"\/guides\/first-time-charter-checklist\/\">first-time<\/a> visitor trying to make sense of the Balearic charter market, where fleets can range from decade-old workhorses to brand-new launches, a matched 2019 Oceanis fleet sits in a sensible middle ground: modern enough to feel current, established enough to have a known track record.<\/p><p>Blue Coast Charter operates a monohull fleet with 3 boats (48&ndash;52ft) 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.<\/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><p>The operator&rsquo;s own site is at <a href=\"https:\/\/bluecoastcharter.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">bluecoastcharter.com<\/a>.<\/p><\/section><section id=\"base\"><h2>Blue Coast Charter&rsquo;s base &amp; getting there<\/h2><p>Blue Coast Charter is based at Marina de <a href=\"\/guides\/best-calas-mallorca-by-boat\/\">Cala<\/a> d'Or, on Berth 31, on the south-east coast of Mallorca - the largest of the Balearic Islands, and the one with the greatest concentration of both charter operators and cruising grounds within easy reach. Cala d'Or itself is a well-regarded, relatively low-key marina by Mallorcan standards, sitting within a resort town rather than a major city, which tends to make for a calmer embarkation experience than the busier bases around Palma. The marina offers on-site amenities including a restaurant, a cocktail bar, parking and beach access, so arriving early or lingering after a return leg is not simply a matter of waiting in a car park.<\/p><p>Getting there is straightforward. The marina lies roughly an hour's drive from Palma de Mallorca Airport, the island's main international gateway, and Blue Coast Charter runs its own shuttle bus for clients, meaning the transfer from arrivals to the pontoon does not have to be arranged independently. For charterers flying in from elsewhere in Europe, this removes one of the more fiddly logistical steps of a <a href=\"\/guides\/bareboat-or-skippered-charter\/\">bareboat<\/a> holiday - hire cars, taxi apps and marina signage in an unfamiliar port - and replaces it with a single, known point of contact.<\/p><p>The location also earns its keep once the lines are cast off. From Cala d'Or, the nearest <a href=\"\/guides\/anchoring-rules-posidonia-balearics\/\">anchorages<\/a> are only around ten minutes away by boat, which is a meaningful detail for anyone chartering with children, older guests, or simply a crew that would rather be swimming than motoring. The south-east corner of Mallorca offers relatively sheltered water and a string of coves within a short hop, so a week based here need not be built around long transit days - a base close to good anchorages tends to translate directly into more time actually enjoying the water, which is, after all, the point of the exercise.<\/p><\/section><section id=\"fleet\"><h2>The fleet, boat by boat<\/h2><p>The two Oceanis 51.1s, Avocado and Lima, are true sister ships in every sense that matters to a charterer: same year, same length overall of 52 feet, same twelve-berth configuration split ten plus two. Beneteau's 51.1 was one of the more significant designs in the yard's recent history, a genuine step up in volume and comfort over its predecessor, and it shows in the layout: a wide beam carried well aft, a cockpit built for entertaining rather than simply sailing, and below-deck accommodation generous enough to sleep large groups without everyone tripping over each other at breakfast. The ten-plus-two berth arrangement typically means a run of proper cabins for the main party supplemented by additional pilot or crew berths, which makes these boats a natural fit for multi-family charters, milestone celebrations, or any booking where the guest list runs past the usual six-to-eight sailing party.<\/p><p>Having two identical 51.1s in the same fleet is, in practical terms, a convenience rather than a curiosity. It means Blue Coast Charter can offer back-to-back or simultaneous availability on effectively the same boat, which matters for anyone chartering two vessels together for a joint holiday, or simply for an operator managing turnaround weeks without needing to juggle two different sets of systems, spares and handover briefings. For the charterer, it also means that a booking on Avocado and a booking on Lima come with the same expectations attached - no guesswork about whether \"the other 51.1\" sails, stows or berths people any differently.<\/p><p>The Oceanis 46.1, Maracuya, is the more compact of the three, at 48 feet and ten berths split eight plus two. It shares the same 2019 build year and the same Beneteau design lineage as its two larger fleet-mates, which means the family resemblance in hull form, sail plan and deck hardware carries across, but in a size that suits a somewhat smaller party or a group that prioritises manageability over sheer cabin count. A 46-footer with an eight-plus-two configuration still comfortably accommodates a substantial group, but it does so with a tighter turning circle, quicker manoeuvring under sail or engine, and generally a slightly easier boat to handle for a skipper who is not chartering commercially every week of the season.<\/p><p>Between the three, the practical distinction is really one of party size rather than quality or specification. The Oceanis 51.1 pair suits larger groups - extended families, celebration charters, or two households sailing together - where the additional length translates into genuinely useful extra cabins and cockpit space. The Oceanis 46.1 suits a mid-sized group that wants the same modern Beneteau sailing experience and the same 2019-build reliability, in a footprint that is a touch easier to dock and manage in tighter marinas along the Mallorcan coast.<\/p><table><thead><tr><th>Boat<\/th><th>Year<\/th><th>Length<\/th><th>Berths<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Oceanis 51.1 &laquo;Avocado&raquo;<\/td><td>2019<\/td><td>52 ft<\/td><td>12 (10+2)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Oceanis 46.1 &laquo;Maracuya&raquo;<\/td><td>2019<\/td><td>48 ft<\/td><td>10 (8+2)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Oceanis 51.1 &laquo;Lima&raquo;<\/td><td>2019<\/td><td>52 ft<\/td><td>12 (10+2)<\/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>.

The consistency across the fleet - same builder, same model year, near-identical systems on the two 51.1s - also suits charterers who value predictability over novelty, and who would rather book with an operator whose boats they can research once and understand fully, than gamble on an unfamiliar mixed fleet. Given the marina's proximity to sheltered anchorages, it is equally well suited to parties who want more time at anchor and less time on passage, including those chartering with children or less experienced sailors aboard.<\/p><\/section><section id=\"booking\"><h2>Booking guidance<\/h2><p>Bareboat chartering in Spain, including in the Balearic Islands, requires the skipper to hold a recognised sailing qualification, since Spanish waters are regulated more strictly than some other Mediterranean charter destinations. In practice this generally means an International Certificate of Competence, an RYA Day Skipper certificate or equivalent, or a recognised national licence, and operators will typically ask to see evidence of this qualification, along with a VHF radio licence where required, before handing over a yacht without a skipper. Anyone planning a bareboat charter with Blue Coast Charter, or indeed any Balearic operator, should confirm exactly which qualifications will be accepted well ahead of the trip, since requirements are applied consistently by the Spanish maritime authorities rather than left to an individual operator's discretion. Those without the necessary paperwork, or who would simply rather not skipper themselves, can typically charter the same yachts with a professional skipper aboard instead.<\/p><p>As with the great majority of Balearic charter operators, a security deposit is standard practice, generally payable at check-in and refunded, less any deductions for damage or missing equipment, after the return inspection; the precise amount and payment method for any given booking should be confirmed directly with Blue Coast Charter at the time of enquiry, since these details vary and are best taken from the current contract rather than assumed. Given that the fleet consists of just three yachts, and that the Balearic charter season runs at its busiest through the summer months, popular weeks - particularly school holiday periods and the height of July and August - tend to be booked well in advance. Charterers with fixed dates in mind, especially those hoping to secure one specific yacht such as Avocado or Lima for a particular week, are generally best served by enquiring early, while those with flexible dates may find more room to negotiate availability outside peak season.<\/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 Blue Coast Charter's availability<\/h2><p>Scoped to this operator only &mdash;
