Discounted yacht charters in Spain

As of 28 Oct 2026, a discounted week in Spain starts from €1,148 for the whole boat; half of the models are at least 15% off. Transit log, cleaning and the refundable deposit are paid at the base on top.

By the agent's latest checks (monohulls), the cheapest month is October: a median of €260 per berth per week. The most expensive is January, at €300. The most boats with 20% off or more are in October: 45%. The agent checks the current month and the next five; each month has its own page with the numbers.

Per berth per week in October: monohull median €260, catamaran €538. A week on a catamaran usually costs more, but it has more cabins and berths, so the price per berth is the fairer comparison. Discounted right now — catamarans: 31, monohulls: 34.

In the Balearics the season runs May to October. July and August are the peak: marinas are expensive and full, so you anchor or pick up a buoy. June and September bring warm water and lower prices; May and October are the shoulder months. In winter people sail in the Canaries, a separate area.

Yes. Almost every boat in the selection can be taken with a hired skipper, and a cook or hostess can be added on request. The crew is paid by the day on top of the boat price, and their food on board is on you. Without a skipper's licence and a VHF certificate, a skipper is mandatory. The RYC manager books the crew together with the boat.

One-week routes in Spain, planned day by day: “Palma — Ibiza”, 7 days, about 155 nautical miles; “Barcelona — Costa Brava”, 7 days, about 120 nautical miles; “Menorca — Mallorca”, 7 days, about 110 nautical miles; “Alicante — Ibiza”, 7 days, about 185 nautical miles; “Valencia — Formentera”, 7 days, about 225 nautical miles. Each route page has the legs, miles and overnight stops.

In the Mediterranean (Turkey, Greece, Croatia), you can catch hot deals 2–⁠6 weeks ahead. For the Caribbean, the Seychelles and other exotic destinations, book early, 4–⁠8 months ahead: fleets there are smaller and last-minute discounts almost never come up.

Just the boat, for a week. Usually paid separately: transit log and final cleaning, fuel, marina fees, the security deposit (or deposit insurance), a skipper, cook and hostess if you need them, and extras (SUP board, on-board Wi-Fi, coffee machine, child safety netting).

For a bareboat charter (no skipper or crew provided), yes: a skipper's licence and, as a rule, a VHF radio certificate. Without a licence, we add a skipper, paid separately from the boat price.

99% of charter fleets worldwide work this way: the boat comes back on Friday evening and goes out to the next crew on Saturday morning. Other changeover days are possible in low season, by arrangement. In some destinations (the Caribbean, Cuba, France) you can add days beyond the week: +1, 2, 3 or 4 days.

The security deposit is your insurance excess in case of damage, usually €1,000–⁠8,000. It is taken at the base at check-⁠in on a credit card issued outside Russia: charter companies don't accept Russian cards or debit cards. With a hired skipper the deposit terms may be different, and not every charter company accepts a cash deposit or deposit insurance: check with the manager.
