The Charter Experience
Bareboat sailing in this region rewards both experienced skippers and capable crews with consistent Mediterranean conditions, sheltered anchorages, and centuries-old ports that range from cosmopolitan to secluded. The Balearic waters offer exceptional clarity, while the Costa de Alicante provides access to Spain's lesser-known coastal villages and hidden coves. Self-provisioning throughout your charter means exploring local markets, dining ashore at waterfront establishments, and anchoring where fewer charter fleets venture.
Suggested Itinerary
Consider departing Denia to sail south along the Costa de Alicante, with stops at protected anchorages near Jávea and Calpe, before heading east towards Ibiza's northern waters. From there, the Dufour's shallow draft allows access to Formentera's pristine bays and the narrow channels between islands that larger vessels cannot reach. Return via Mallorca's quieter eastern shores if time permits, or anchor in secluded coves accessible only to bareboat sailors willing to navigate beyond the main charter hubs.
