| The
Balearic Islands consist of Mallorca, Menorca, Formentera and Ibiza. The
Islands are situated to the South East of mainland Spain in the Mediterranean
Sea. All the islands are Spanish speaking. The climate is typical Mediterranean
- warm and sunny for most of the year! The Balearics offer the best in
beaches and quaint fishing villages with fabulous restaurants. Sailing
in the Balearics is generally calm and stress-free. The Mediterranean
does not have the strong tidal flows and changeable weather as some other
popular sailing areas. This means that you can bring small children with
the security that there will be no surprises! The Balearics offer some of the best sailing facilities in the world. Mallorca has 45 ports alone! We can offer you a pre-agreed itinerary or if you prefer can be as flexible to go wherever the wind takes us!
