The Balearics
Turquoise shallows, pine-backed calas and dinner ashore that rivals the mainland.
The run from Palma around Cabrera to the Formentera shallows is a masterclass in short-hop chartering: no leg longer than four hours, and an anchorage for every wind direction.
The trick is timing. June and September belong to the yachts; July belongs to everyone. We plan mornings at the famous spots before the day fleet arrives, and quiet nights in the calas the crowds never reach.
Mallorca's restaurant scene has quietly become the best in the western Mediterranean. Your chef will fight you for the market runs.
