The best travel time
From May to October, Mallorca offers ideal sailing conditions with warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine. In spring, the island blooms in rich colours, in summer quiet bays and mild evenings on deck beckon. Autumn offers perfect conditions for connoisseurs – less hustle and bustle, steady winds and pleasant 25 °C.
Sailing conditions
The Balearics are known for moderate, reliable winds (3–5 Bft). Around Mallorca, thermal winds usually blow, enabling relaxed, genuine sailing. Short distances and many sheltered bays make the area ideal for beginners and connoisseurs – while still exciting enough for experienced sailors.
Arrival
Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI) is served daily from all over Europe. From there, it is about a 45-minute transfer to Port de Sóller, the boarding harbour for our cruises. Transfers can be organised on request.
Top highlights of crewing in the Balearics
Palma de Mallorca
Palma is the vibrant heart of the Balearics, combining history, culture and style. The imposing cathedral La Seu rises majestically above the sea and shapes the cityscape as much as the charming old town alleys with their boutiques, tapas bars and historic courtyards.
A walk along the promenade or an aperitivo in the harbour conveys the true Mediterranean lifestyle. Many guests extend their sailing trip in Mallorca by a day in Palma – ideal to immerse themselves in the island’s flair before the yacht sets sail.
Port de Sóller
Nestled between steep mountains and deep blue sea lies Port de Sóller, one of the most beautiful natural harbours in the Mediterranean and the starting point of our sailing trips.
The sheltered bay with its elegant promenade, small cafés and restaurants is the perfect place to board in a relaxed manner. From here your cruise begins along the spectacular northwest coast – past picturesque villages like Deià and Valldemossa, which impress with their authentic charm, olive groves and breathtaking views.
A sunset over the Tramuntana mountains rounds off the evening on deck memorably.
Ibiza & Menorca
Ibiza stands for more than just lifestyle and nightlife. Away from the hotspots, a quiet, natural side reveals itself: hidden bays, turquoise water and white villages with a relaxed boho flair. Here you anchor in quiet bays, enjoy the sea and authentic tapas in small chiringuitos on the beach.
Menorca, on the other hand, is the quiet, nature-connected sister – a paradise for connoisseurs. The coastline is characterised by untouched bays, turquoise shimmering lagoons and charming harbours like Ciutadella or Mahón. Those who sail here experience the Balearics at their most peaceful and original – perfect for a relaxing sailing holiday with Mediterranean charm.

Introductory Sailing Trip in Malta
Ahoy, we'd love to come back.
On that morning of the third day, the waves were high and lashed with great force against the hull of the majestic Chronos. When I asked what wind force we were experiencing, Felix, the young and passionate captain, replied, “We’re at a 5.” It was a surreal scene: a constant up-and-down motion, clinging to any part that resembled a handhold, and the hot coffee, sitting steady on the breakfast table (thanks to the rubber mat).
Read the full review
My partner and I spent three unforgettable days on the Chronos, filled with many such experiences. Although I'm naturally a bit of a worrier and have a deep respect for the vast ocean, we felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Not least because of the professional crew, who were very helpful, patient, and went out of their way to pamper the guests. We were also enchanted by the culinary journey aboard the ship, with its many delicacies. How the cook—always with a touch of humor on his lips, even in such cramped quarters—managed to cater to these 20 guests remains one of the great mysteries of seafaring.
You can look forward to a little adventure—whether it’s relaxing in the sun on deck, taking trips by motorboat to the most beautiful spots, watching the captain at work, or helping to hoist the big sails; a journey you won’t experience every day.
Ahoy, we'd love to come back.Samuel and Elke on the Chronos, sailing around Malta in June '26 -
We enjoy our 5th trip
High praise
This is the fifth time we have enjoyed a trip with Sailing Classics, this time between the Greek islands. And in November we want to sail across the Atlantic with the Rhea. In Pieter we have met an outstanding captain who has given us a lot of pleasure. I would also like to praise the speaker Marc, who introduced us to Greek history with his immense knowledge and his engaging and humorous manner. I would also like to praise the entire team.

Loved every minute of it
Absolutely marvelous charter
It was an absolutely marvelous charter. Loved every minute of it. I have chartered boats a number of times, and I have never had such a friendly, positive, and accommodating captain and crew. And the food was superb.

3 days in Italy
It was marvelous
About 10 days ago, we had zero sailing experience and no idea what to expect as a family with two young kids (ages 5 and 7) boarding a 3-night charter in the south of Italy. As we waited for the tender to bring us aboard, we spotted our fellow passengers - no other children in sight and most well outside our usual age range. We were more than a little nervous.

But wow - it was marvelous. From the moment we boarded, we felt not only welcomed but truly cared for. Normally, our daughter is quite shy around men, yet she immediately gravitated toward Captain Niko. She followed him around the boat with admiration, and he responded with incredible patience and kindness.
Everyone was fantastic and worked together like a well oiled machine. Thank you for a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we hope becomes a lifelong tradition.Sophie and her family after their trip at the Amalfi coast -
Wedding anniversary on board
A special experience
You are probably more than aware that sailing on the Rhea is a particularly beautiful experience. It was a special experience for me. Not that it was my first time sailing (North Sea, Atlantic, Mediterranean Sea), but it was my wife's first trip under sail. She enjoyed the time and we have decided to go on more sailing trips. We were also able to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary on board. We would like to thank you very much for the service on board and the highlights.

FAQs about sailing cruises from Mallorca
Für einen Segeltörn auf Mallorca und den Balearen herrschen von Mai bis Oktober ideale Bedingungen mit angenehmen 24 bis 30 °C, viel Sonne und meist moderaten thermischen Winden um 3 bis 5 Beaufort. Kurze Distanzen und viele geschützte Buchten machen das Revier entspannt und verlässlich. Das eignet sich für Einsteiger und Genießer ebenso wie für erfahrene Segler.
Mallorca und die Balearen eignen sich besonders für Einsteiger, Paare und Genießer, dank kurzer Etappen, ruhiger Buchten und klaren Wassers. Gleichzeitig bleibt das Revier mit Überfahrten nach Ibiza oder Menorca spannend genug für erfahrene Segler. Da die Yachten mit professioneller Crew fahren, ist keine eigene Segelerfahrung nötig.
Startpunkt ist die Marina Port de Sóller im Nordwesten Mallorcas, rund 45 Minuten vom Flughafen Palma de Mallorca (PMI) entfernt. Der Transfer kann organisiert werden; alternativ stehen Taxis und Busse zur Verfügung. Palma wird täglich aus ganz Europa angeflogen.
Start- und Zielhafen ist die Marina Port de Sóller im Nordwesten Mallorcas, einer der schönsten Naturhäfen des Mittelmeers. Von dort führt die Route entlang der spektakulären Tramuntana-Küste mit Dörfern wie Deià und Valldemossa, teils weiter nach Menorca oder Ibiza und Formentera.
Ja, die Route eines Segeltörns auf Mallorca wird flexibel an Wind und Wetter angepasst, statt einem starren Fahrplan zu folgen. So lassen sich die besten Segelbedingungen und die schönsten Buchten ansteuern. Die ausgeschriebenen Häfen bilden den Rahmen, die konkrete Tagesplanung legt die Crew gemeinsam fest.
Landausflüge und Badestopps gehören bei einem Segeltörn auf Mallorca fest zum Programm. Täglich gibt es Badestopps in einsamen Buchten sowie Landgänge nach Palma mit der Kathedrale La Seu oder in die Bergdörfer Valldemossa und Deià. Wie viel Zeit auf Baden, Aktivitäten oder Kultur entfällt, richtet sich nach Route und Wetter.
Für einen Sommer-Segeltörn auf Mallorca empfehlen sich leichte, bequeme Kleidung, feste Schuhe für Landausflüge, Badebekleidung, eine leichte Windjacke sowie Sonnenhut und Sonnenschutz. Am besten eignet sich eine weiche Reisetasche statt eines Hartschalenkoffers. Handtücher, Shampoo und meist auch Sonnenschutzprodukte sind an Bord bereits vorhanden.
Die Doppelkabinen bieten Stauraum über einen Kleiderschrank, Ablagen und Platz unter den Betten – ausreichend für das Gepäck einer ein- bis zweiwöchigen Reise. Da der Platz wie auf jeder Yacht begrenzt ist, eignen sich faltbare Reisetaschen besser als Hartschalenkoffer. Die Kabinen sind klimatisiert und verfügen jeweils über ein eigenes Bad.
