The Spanish mainland is rarely frequented by many charter customers despite its good accessibility by car. Starting from the Marina Port Olympic in Barcelona, you can either sail north to the lively Costa Brava or head south. The area offers numerous harbors and countless other mooring options over 300 km. The more challenging Atlantic offers the city of Vigo in Galicia as a perfect starting port.

The Balearics offer not only many anchor bays but also many well-equipped marinas and harbors. The yacht offer, especially in Mallorca, is balanced, so you can find a good selection of sailing yachts, catamarans, and motor yachts. The thermal wind, which blows evenly in the morning and lasts until late afternoon, usually comes from the northwest to northeast. Climatically, the Balearics have a moderate, subtropical climate with mild winters.
