A classic Balearic week from Palma: Mallorca's south coast and Cabrera, then Formentera's turquoise shallows and Ibiza's west-coast sunsets — aboard a 92 ft Sunseeker 95 for up to 12 guests.
This is one of the most requested routes on M/Y Lio Black Knight: embark in Palma de Mallorca, explore the island's quieter south, visit the protected Parque Nacional de Cabrera, then cross to Formentera and Ibiza before returning toward Mallorca.
At 18 knots cruising (26 knots max), the yacht covers the longer legs without rushing the days. Cabins sleep 12 guests across five en-suite staterooms; crew of four includes a private chef.
Weather, preferences and season shape every charter. This outline is a starting point — your captain will refine it before embarkation and keep it flexible underway.
Embark mid-afternoon in Palma. Settle into your cabin, meet the crew, and ease out of the bay for a short sunset cruise toward Illetas or Portals Vells. Swim off the beach club platform and dine on the flybridge.
Typical overnight: calm anchorage or nearby marina berth as arranged by the captain.
Cruise the south coast toward Cap Blanc and Cala Pi's cliff-backed cove, then the long pale sand of Es Trenc / Sa Ràpita roads. Beach time, Seabobs and paddleboards; chef-prepared lunch at anchor.
Prefer sandy holding — your captain selects suitable bottom away from Posidonia meadows.
Short hop to the Cabrera archipelago, a protected maritime-terrestrial national park. Snorkel in exceptional clarity; optional walk ashore where permitted. Park access requires advance authorisation — arranged by the crew.
Strict environmental rules apply; anchoring only where allowed.
Morning departure for Formentera (roughly three to four hours at cruise from southern Mallorca, depending on start point and sea state). Afternoon at Ses Illetes — white sand and turquoise water — and the Espalmador channel.
Posidonia oceanica meadows here are UNESCO-listed and protected: moor or anchor only on authorised sandy patches / designated areas.
Explore Formentera's west: Cala Saona's horseshoe bay, quieter Migjorn stretches, or a short stop near La Savina if you want a stroll ashore. Sunset swim before dinner on board.
La Savina marina can be used for short stops when useful; berth fees are settled via APA — we do not publish fixed marina prices.
Twenty-minute hop to Ibiza. Afternoon at Cala Comte / Cala Bassa for swimming and water toys; evening light on Es Vedrà — one of the Balearics' iconic silhouettes.
Overnight at a west-coast anchorage or marina near Ibiza Town if you prefer dining ashore.
Optional morning ashore at Dalt Vila or the harbour, then begin the return cruise toward Mallorca — often via Sant Elm and Sa Dragonera — arriving Palma for Saturday disembarkation.
One-way disembarkation in Ibiza is possible when agreed in the charter contract and delivery/redelivery is arranged.
Balearic law protects Posidonia oceanica. Never drop anchor on seagrass: captains use sandy pockets, mooring buoys or authorised zones — especially around Formentera, Espalmador and Cabrera.
Mallorca–Formentera/Ibiza legs are comfortable at 18 kn. Exact timing depends on sea state; the schedule flexes so you still enjoy full afternoons at anchor.
Common options include Palma, La Savina (Formentera) and Marina Ibiza / Club Náutico. Berths are booked when useful for nightlife or provisioning; costs go through APA — ask for an estimate in your proposal, not a fixed public tariff.
Cabrera National Park visits need prior authorisation. Your crew handles the paperwork within park rules and capacity limits.
