Spain

Chartering a yacht in Spain allows you to experience modern cities, bustling resort towns or quiet nature experiences.

As the Spanish coast dives into the Mediterranean, the prolongation of the Betic Cordillera rides between ocean basins and it emerges, with extraordinary beauty, as the Balearic archipelago. The Major Gymnesia (Majorca), and the Minor Gymnesia (Menorca) are the two largest islands. In the south, there are Pine Islands, Ibiza and Formentera. Each of these islands, floating serenely in the glittering Mediterranean, could be said to have their own theme. 

Mallorca is the senior island, combining a little of everything, from spectacular mountain scenery and hiking through to the coastline of pristine beaches. Ibiza is the definition of clubbing, the island that gave Europe the rave, but without forgetting its turquoise waters. 

Menorca is a haven of tranquillity – splendid isolated beaches and coves, and prehistoric monuments standing as taciturn reminders of how small we are in the grand scheme of things. 

And tiny Formentera, a chill-out island, where some people lose themselves for the entire summer, needing little to keep them happy other than white beaches and luxury yacht sunset parties.
