Why choose cabin charter?
For us, cabin charter is much more than a way to travel.
If you are looking to disconnect from the routine, avoid the crowds and enjoy unique moments, this option offers you everything you need.
It is possible that you have always wanted to sail but have not found the right company, that is, you do not have a group large enough to opt for the rental of a full boat.
Maybe the problem is that you don’t have the necessary budget, or you have always liked sailing but don’t want to give up any comfort.
Either way, cabin charter is a more affordable option.
In addition, it allows you to share the yacht and its common areas with 6-10 people, passionate like you about sailing and the sea.
Most of the time, all expenses are included (skipper, port taxes, fuel, food…) so it is usually more economical.
Cases in which cabin chartering might not be the best option
Although cabin chartering is an ideal and affordable experience, it does not always suit all profiles or situations. Here are some cases in which you might consider other alternatives:
Travelers seeking total privacy.
On a sailboat with shared cabins, you will be living with other travelers, which may not be ideal if you prefer a completely private experience. In these cases, chartering an entire sailboat may be a better option.
Large groups or large families.
If you are traveling with a large group or extended family, the limited cabin space may not be enough. Chartering an entire boat ensures that everyone is together and comfortable.
People sensitive to sea movement.
If although you love the sea you are prone to seasickness or prefer a more stable experience, you can opt for a larger cruise or a land-based accommodation close to any of the Balearic beaches.
Specific itineraries or activities.
The cabin charter follows an itinerary established a priori by the crew, which can be inconvenient if you have in mind to visit specific places or do activities that are not in the plan.
Special requirements or medical needs. If you need specific conditions, such as access to medical equipment or highly personalized diets, it is important to verify if the ship can meet these needs.
Very tight budget. Although less expensive than chartering a full sailboat, cabin charters can be more expensive than other options, such as staying on land or taking day sailing excursions.https://sailingtripsmallorca.com/en/sailing-day-excursions-in-mallorca/
