Why the Axopar 37 is Perfect for Mallorca’s Waters
Mallorca’s coastline is a tapestry of rugged cliffs, hidden sea caves, and shallow turquoise bays. The Axopar 37’s shallow draft of just 0.85 meters is a significant advantage here, allowing you to venture into shallow anchorages where larger yachts cannot go. Whether you are navigating the narrow entrance of Cala Pi or anchoring close to the white sands of Platja des Caragol, this boat offers unparalleled access.
Furthermore, the Mediterranean sea state around Mallorca can change quickly, especially when the Tramuntana wind blows from the north. The Axopar’s deep-V hull is designed to slice through chop with minimal slamming, ensuring that your transit from Palma to Port de Sóller remains smooth and dry. For groups of up to 12 people, the extensive deck space—featuring social seating areas both fore and aft—makes it an ideal platform for socializing under the Balearic sun.

Itineraries: Exploring from Palma de Mallorca
Most Axopar 37 rentals originate from Palma, the island's nautical hub. Given the boat's impressive cruising speed of 30-35 knots, you can cover significant distances in a single day, making it the ultimate "beach hopper."
1-Day Itinerary: The South Coast Secret Bays
- Departure: Leave Palma’s Marina La Lonja at 10:00 AM.
- Morning: Cruise eastward to Cala Blava for a morning swim in crystal clear waters.
- Lunch: Head to Cala Vells and anchor near the "Three Finger Bay." Enjoy lunch at a local chiringuito or a catered picnic on board.
- Afternoon: Speed across the bay to Illetas or the exclusive Puerto Portals for a cocktail before returning to Palma by 6:00 PM.
3-7 Day Itinerary: The West Coast Adventure
For those chartering an Axopar 37 in Mallorca for a longer duration, the rugged West Coast (Serra de Tramuntana) is a must-see. You can find more inspiration for your voyage on our destinations page.

Logistics: Marinas and Berthing in Mallorca
When you rent an Axopar 37, your home berth is typically included in the price for the duration of the rental. However, if you are planning an overnight charter around the island, you must consider berthing fees in other marinas. Puerto Portals and Port Adriano are the most prestigious marinas, offering designer boutiques and high-end dining, but they require advance booking during the summer months.
For a more traditional feel, Port de Sóller on the west coast and Porto Colom on the east coast offer excellent protection. The Axopar 37’s size makes it relatively easy to find a berth compared to larger motor yachts, though we always recommend securing your moorings at least 48 hours in advance through the Ports de les Illes Balears portal or directly with the private marinas.
What is Included in Your Mallorca Charter?
Understanding the inclusions is vital to planning your budget. When renting an Axopar 37 in Mallorca, the "bareboat" vs. "skippered" choice is the first decision. If you possess a valid ICC or equivalent powerboat license, you may be able to rent bareboat. However, most luxury travelers prefer a local skipper who knows the hidden "calas" and best snorkeling spots.
- Included: Standard equipment, insurance, and the boat's home berth in Palma.
- Excluded (APA): Fuel is typically charged according to consumption. The Axopar 37 is efficient, but at high speeds, fuel costs can add up.
- Optional: Professional skipper (approx. €250-€300 per day), end cleaning fees (often mandatory for overnight stays), and VAT (21% in Spain).
- Water Toys: Many of our boats come equipped with Stand-Up Paddleboards (SUP) or snorkeling gear, while Seabobs can usually be added as an extra.
Best Months and Sea Conditions
The prime window for chartering an Axopar 37 in Mallorca is from late May to early October. During these months, the sea temperature ranges from 21°C to 27°C. July and August offer the calmest seas and most consistent sunshine, though this is also when the island is busiest. For those seeking a quieter experience, September is arguably the best month, as the water remains warm but the crowds at popular anchorages like Cala Varques begin to thin out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a license required for renting an Axopar 37 in Mallorca?
Yes, if you intend to drive the boat yourself (bareboat), you must hold a valid International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or a recognized national license for powerboats up to 12 meters. If you do not have a license, you can easily hire a professional skipper to handle the navigation while you relax.
How many people can fit on an Axopar 37 for a day charter?
The Axopar 37 is legally certified to carry up to 12 people (including the skipper) for day trips. This makes it one of the best options for large families or groups of friends. However, for overnight charters, the boat is best suited for 2 to 4 guests due to the cabin configuration.
What is the fuel consumption when chartering an Axopar 37 in Mallorca?
Fuel consumption depends heavily on speed and load. At a comfortable cruising speed of 25-30 knots, you can expect to consume between 70 and 100 liters of fuel per hour. A typical day trip from Palma to the nearby bays usually results in a fuel bill of approximately €250 to €450, depending on the distance covered.
"The Axopar 37 is not just a boat; it is a gateway to the most inaccessible and beautiful parts of Mallorca, combining the speed of a RIB with the luxury of a motor cruiser."
