About chartering in Les Arenal

Chartering in Les Arenal offers a relaxed, motor-boat-focused experience from the sheltered shores of Palma Bay, just east of Playa de Palma. The primary departure point is Marina S'Arenal (also known as Club Nautico de Arenal), a modern facility with over 600 berths, full amenities, and a repair yard, situated away from the noisy holiday crowds of the beachfront. From here, a day trip easily reaches the southern coast toward Llucmajor, the rocky outcrop of Cabo Enderrocat, and the quiet anchorages of the bay, perfect for short motor excursions.

The setting is defined by the long, sandy Playa de Palma and the calm waters of Palma Bay, ideal for beginners and families seeking stress-free motor cruising. Les Arenal itself is a major tourist resort, offering easy access to restaurants, shops, and beach clubs like La Marina S'Arenal, while the marina provides a quiet, professional base for your vessel.

Waters accessible within a day include the inner bay near Palma, the stretch toward Sant Antoni de Portmany, and the anchorages near Ibiza and Ciutadella de Menorca for longer trips, though motor boats are best suited for the sheltered bay and nearby coastal routes.
