Charter & Rent a Fleming 55 in Mallorca: 2026 Guide, Prices & Routes

The Fleming 55 is often referred to as "The Ultimate Cruising Yacht," and for good reason. It is designed for serious offshore travel while maintaining the aesthetic of a classic motor yacht. For groups of 2 to 12 guests (depending on day-charter vs. overnight capacity), the interior volume is surprisingly generous, featuring high-quality teak joinery and a layout that prioritizes comfort at sea.

Why the Fleming 55 is the Ideal Choice for Mallorca
Mallorca’s coastline is a diverse mix of deep-water cliffs and shallow, sandy calas. The Fleming 55 is uniquely suited for this environment. With a draft of just 1.52 meters, it can safely enter smaller anchorages like Cala Varques or Cala Pi that deeper-draft vessels might find challenging. This allows guests to get closer to the turquoise shoreline for swimming and snorkeling.
Furthermore, the Fleming’s semi-displacement hull means it can cruise economically at 8-10 knots for a relaxing "slow travel" experience, yet it has the power to reach 18 knots if you need to beat a weather system or reach a dinner reservation in Port d'Andratx. The Portuguese bridge provides a safe, sheltered area for guests to move around the deck while underway, which is particularly beneficial for families with younger children or those who enjoy unobstructed views of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range from the sea.

Logistics: Marinas, Mooring, and Berthing
Mallorca boasts some of the best infrastructure in the Mediterranean. When chartering a Fleming 55, your primary base will likely be Real Club Náutico de Palma or Marina Moll Vell. These marinas offer full shore power, fresh water, and proximity to Palma’s gourmet dining scene.
During your trip, you may wish to berth in Port Adriano or Puerto Portals for a night of luxury shopping and high-end dining. It is essential to book berths well in advance for the 2026 summer season, as Mallorca’s marinas reach 100% occupancy in July and August. In many of the protected "Calas," you will be required to use the Balearic buoy system (Posidonia protection) to preserve the seagrass meadows; our skippers handle all reservations for these eco-mooring balls.
What is Included in Your Charter?
Understanding the "all-in" cost is vital for a seamless experience. Most Fleming 55 rentals in Mallorca are "plus expenses," meaning the base rate covers the yacht and the crew, while other costs are managed via the APA.
- Included: Professional skipper (and often a stewardess), standard equipment, bed linens, towels, and end-of-charter cleaning.
- VAT: In Spain, a 21% Value Added Tax is applicable to the charter fee.
- APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance): Usually 30% of the charter fee. This covers fuel, food, beverages, and marina berthing fees. Any unused portion is refunded at the end of the trip.
- Fuel: The Fleming 55 is efficient, but fuel consumption will depend on your cruising speed and generator usage.
Best Months and Sea Conditions
The Balearic charter season runs from late April to late October. For those renting a Fleming 55 in Mallorca, June and September are often considered the "sweet spots." During these months, the sea temperature is pleasant (22°C - 25°C), the crowds are thinner, and the winds are generally light and predictable.
July and August offer the most consistent "flat" seas, ideal for those prone to motion sickness, though the ambient temperature can exceed 30°C. The Fleming 55’s powerful air conditioning system and stabilized hull ensure comfort regardless of the heat or minor swells.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a license required for renting a Fleming 55 in Mallorca?
Because the Fleming 55 is a high-value, complex vessel, it is almost exclusively offered as a crewed charter. This means a professional skipper is provided, so you do not need a personal boating license to enjoy the yacht. You can simply relax while the professionals handle navigation and docking.
What is the maximum capacity when chartering a Fleming 55 in Mallorca?
For day trips, the Fleming 55 can typically accommodate up to 12 guests plus crew. For overnight stays or weekly charters, the capacity is limited to 6 guests across three cabins (Master, VIP, and Twin) to ensure maximum comfort and privacy.
Does the Fleming 55 come with water toys?
Most Fleming 55 yachts in our fleet come equipped with a Williams Jet Tender, paddleboards (SUPs), and snorkeling gear. Some may also include SeaBobs or electric foils upon request, making your time at anchor in places like Cala Mitjana even more adventurous.
Can we cruise to Ibiza or Menorca on a Fleming 55?
Absolutely. The Fleming 55 is a "Category A" ocean-going vessel. A crossing from Mallorca to Menorca takes approximately 3-4 hours, while a trip to Ibiza takes about 5-6 hours. This yacht is specifically designed for these types of inter-island passages, offering a stable and dry ride compared to lighter flybridge cruisers.
