The 5 Mallorca Yacht Charters for Exploring the Serra de Tramuntana
Introduction
The Serra de Tramuntana gives Mallorca one of the most dramatic coastlines in the Mediterranean.
Cruising along the island’s northwest coast reveals steep mountains dropping into the sea, hidden coves, stone villages and iconic stops such as Port de Sóller and Sa Calobra. For this kind of itinerary, speed, comfort underway, outdoor viewing space and the ability to linger at anchor matter more than sheer yacht size.
These five yachts are particularly well suited to exploring Mallorca’s Tramuntana coast.
MOONSHOT
Best for: The best overall yacht for exploring the Tramuntana coast
MOONSHOT is our strongest all-round choice for exploring the Serra de Tramuntana.
The 24.64m Sanlorenzo SL78 operates throughout the Balearic Islands and accommodates eight guests in four cabins with a crew of three. She cruises at approximately 25 knots and reaches around 30 knots.
That speed is particularly useful along Mallorca’s west coast. Guests can move efficiently between different anchorages, spend more time swimming or going ashore, and still cover a substantial stretch of coastline in a single day.
MOONSHOT also offers stabilizers both underway and at anchor, which adds comfort when cruising or stopping beneath the Tramuntana cliffs.
Her toys include two Fliteboards, a paddleboard, wakeboard, snorkeling equipment and an inflatable platform.
Why choose MOONSHOT: Fast cruising, stabilizers and strong water access make her the most versatile yacht for exploring Mallorca’s mountainous west coast.
SHADOW
Best for: Fast day trips along Mallorca’s northwest coast
SHADOW is particularly well suited to shorter, more energetic Tramuntana itineraries.
The 17.9m Sunseeker Predator 62 operates throughout the Balearic Islands and sleeps up to six guests in three cabins. She cruises at around 26 knots.
Her compact size and high cruising speed make her ideal for guests who want to spend a day moving between several coastal highlights rather than settling into one anchorage.
Outdoor spaces include front and aft sunbeds, an exterior dining table, sunshade and freshwater shower. Paddleboarding and snorkeling equipment are available once the yacht stops.
Why choose SHADOW: Compact proportions, fast cruising and practical outdoor spaces make her excellent for exploring several Tramuntana stops in one day.
BO
Best for: Stylish high-speed cruising beneath the Tramuntana mountains
BO brings Mangusta performance to one of Mallorca’s most scenic cruising areas.
The 33m Mangusta 108 operates in Spain and accommodates eight guests across four cabins with a crew of five. She cruises at approximately 26 knots and reaches around 30 knots.
That makes her one of the fastest yachts in the selection.
Along the Serra de Tramuntana, that speed gives guests the freedom to combine scenic cruising with lunch ashore, swimming stops and different anchorages without losing much of the day underway.
Once anchored, BO offers a bar, television and sound system for a relaxed onboard atmosphere.
Why choose BO: High-speed Mangusta cruising makes her ideal for guests who want to see more of Mallorca’s dramatic west coast in less time.
YCM 120
Best for: Luxury multi-day cruising around the Tramuntana coast
YCM 120 is the strongest choice if the Serra de Tramuntana is part of a longer Mallorca itinerary rather than a single day trip.
The 37m ISA 120 Sport operates in Spain and the Balearic Islands during summer. She accommodates up to 10 guests in five cabins with a crew of six and underwent a refit in 2024.
She cruises at approximately 19 knots, so she is slower than MOONSHOT or BO but still easily capable of covering significant sections of Mallorca’s coastline.
The advantage is the onboard experience.
YCM 120 offers a deck Jacuzzi, sun deck, sun pads, bar and stabilizers at anchor and underway. Her toy collection includes Jet Skis, SeaBobs, kayaks, paddleboards, wakeboard and snorkeling equipment.
She is particularly well suited to guests who want to spend several days moving between Tramuntana anchorages rather than rushing through the coast.
Why choose YCM 120: A Jacuzzi, stabilizers, six-person crew and extensive water toys make her ideal for a slower luxury exploration of Mallorca’s west coast.
LEIGH
Best for: Relaxed Tramuntana cruising with plenty of time at anchor
LEIGH offers a slower and more traditional way to explore the Serra de Tramuntana.
The 27.32m Mochi Craft operates throughout the Balearic Islands and accommodates eight guests across four cabins with a crew of four. She cruises at around 12 knots and reaches approximately 18 knots.
Her slower cruising speed means she is best suited to guests who want the coastline itself to be part of the journey.
Once anchored, LEIGH becomes particularly appealing.
She has a deck Jacuzzi and carries a Sea-Doo Spark Jet Ski, banana, wakeboard, waterskis and snorkeling equipment.
For guests who want to cruise beneath Mallorca’s mountains, stop in one or two beautiful bays and spend the afternoon swimming and relaxing, that slower pace can work extremely well.
Why choose LEIGH: A deck Jacuzzi and strong watersports selection make her ideal for guests who prefer relaxed exploration over high-speed island hopping.
