Renting a boat in Palma de Mallorca with a skipper is ideal if you want to get to know the most beautiful places in the area and just enjoy the ride.

What are the weather and sailing conditions like in Palma de Mallorca?
In the summer months, from April to October, a boat trip in Palma de Mallorca is particularly nice. The temperatures are pleasant to very hot and it hardly rains. If you like temperatures above 30ºC (86ºF), then you should travel to Palma de Mallorca for July and August, but don't forget your sun cream! In the other summer months it is not quite as warm, but the beaches are much less busy. With a boat, however, you have the choice of which beach to go to all year round and you can choose the quietest one.
When is the best time to go to Palma de Mallorca?
If you’re
going to Mallorca to swim, then you should plan on going
midsummer, as the
sea then reaches
temperatures of over 20ºC (68ºF)! However, this is also the
busiest time of year and so the
prices are also
usually very high. Of course, a trip in
winter is also worthwhile, because
in Mallorca the sun shines 300 days a year. In addition, you will often find
cheaper and more numerous offers in the winter months. Having said this, the
best time to go is generally either in
April/May or in
September/October as the
temperatures are still
usually fairly warm, the rain minimal, and the
crowds and hence the
prices much lower.
