Charter Pershing in Mallorca: Models, Prices and Routes (2026)
Most-Requested Pershing Models for Mallorca Charters
Pershing’s "X Range" and traditional silver-hulled models are staples in the marinas of Palma and Puerto Portals. These vessels are designed for those who value time; their surface drives allow for cruising speeds that significantly outpace standard motor yachts, enabling you to visit more coves in a single day. For 2026, the following models are the most sought-after for private charters:
- Pershing 5X: Ideal for day charters or small families. Typically accommodating 12 guests for day trips and 4-6 guests overnight in 2-3 cabins. It offers a sleek profile and a large hydraulic platform.
- Pershing 74 / 7X: A favorite for groups of 6-8 looking for a 2 or 3-day excursion. These models feature the iconic "disappearing" glass door that merges the cockpit and salon into one vast social space.
- Pershing 82 / 8X: Often referred to as a "fighter jet on water," this model features a sports flybridge and enough volume for 8 guests in 4 luxurious cabins, plus a dedicated crew of 3.
- Pershing 9X: The flagship for luxury speed, offering expansive sun pads and a carbon-fiber superstructure. It is perfect for larger groups of up to 8-10 guests staying overnight in total privacy.

Best 1-Day Routes from Palma de Mallorca
Because Pershing yachts can comfortably cruise at 30-40 knots, your range for a day charter is significantly wider than on a standard boat. You can view our full fleet of available boats to see which Pershing is currently stationed in your preferred marina.
The Western Route (Cala Fornells & Port d'Andratx): Departing from Palma, head west past the cliffs of Cap Falcó. Stop for a swim in the turquoise waters of Cala Vinyes or the secluded Cala d'en Monjo. Lunch at a waterfront restaurant in the chic Port d'Andratx before a high-speed blast back to the Bay of Palma.
The Southern Route (Es Trenc & Cabrera): Utilize the Pershing’s speed to reach the pristine white sands of Es Trenc in under 45 minutes. If you have secured a permit in advance, continue to the Cabrera Archipelago National Park, a protected marine reserve with a stunning blue grotto and a medieval castle overlooking the harbor.
Multi-Day Itineraries: Exploring the Balearics
For those booking a weekly charter, a Pershing allows for effortless "island hopping" between Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza. For a 2026 charter yacht Mallorca experience, we recommend a 5-day circuit:
- Day 1-2: Southwest Coast & Sa Dragonera. Anchor at Sant Elm and explore the uninhabited island of Sa Dragonera. Overnight in Port d'Andratx.
- Day 3: The North Coast (Serra de Tramuntana). Speed along the UNESCO World Heritage coastline to Sa Calobra and Torrent de Pareis. The deep waters here are perfect for testing the yacht's performance.
- Day 4: Port de Sóller to Formentor. Visit the northern tip of the island, Cap de Formentor, known for its dramatic lighthouse and calm bays like Cala Figuera.
- Day 5: Return via the East Coast. Stop at Cala Mitjana or Cala d'Or, famous for their "calas" (narrow inlets) with crystal clear water, before returning to Palma.
Logistics: Marinas and Berthing
Most Pershing yachts for charter are based in Palma de Mallorca, specifically in Marina Moll Vell or Real Club Náutico, due to their proximity to the airport and luxury concierge services. However, Puerto Portals and Port Adriano are the preferred hubs for those seeking a high-end social scene. Port Adriano, designed by Philippe Starck, is particularly well-suited for larger Pershing models like the 8X or 9X due to its deep-water berths and modern infrastructure.
What is Included in a Pershing Charter?
Understanding the "all-in" cost is vital for a seamless experience. In Mallorca, luxury charters follow specific industry standards:
- Included: The yacht rental, professional crew (Captain and Stewardess/Chef depending on size), standard equipment, and base port mooring for the first and last night.
- APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance): This is an additional 30-35% of the charter fee paid in advance. It covers fuel (Pershings are high-consumption vessels), food, premium beverages, and customs fees.
- VAT: In Spain, a 21% Value Added Tax is mandatory on the charter fee.
- Exclusions: Gratuity for the crew (typically 10-15% of the base rate) and moorings in marinas other than the home port.
The Best Time for a Mallorca Yacht Charter
The Mallorca charter season begins in late April and runs through October. For the best Pershing experience, the months of June and September offer the perfect balance of warm Mediterranean water (22-25°C) and manageable crowds. July and August are the peak months with the most vibrant atmosphere, but demand for Pershing models is extremely high, requiring bookings to be made at least 6-9 months in advance for the 2026 season.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much fuel does a Pershing use?
Pershing yachts are built for speed, which requires significant power. A Pershing 74 can consume between 350 and 500 liters per hour at cruising speed. Fuel costs are deducted from the APA at the end of the charter based on actual consumption recorded by the Captain.
Do I need a license to charter a Pershing in Mallorca?
All Pershing yachts in our luxury fleet are chartered with a professional Captain. Even if you hold a yachting license, a permanent Captain is required to manage the complex surface drive systems and ensure the safety of the vessel and its guests.
Can we do a day trip from Mallorca to Ibiza on a Pershing?
Yes. While a standard motor yacht takes 4-5 hours to cross, a Pershing 8X can make the journey from Palma to Ibiza Town in approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on sea conditions. This makes a "lunch in Formentera" entirely possible for a day charter, though fuel costs will be substantial.
Are water toys included on Pershing yachts?
Most Pershing charters include a Williams Jet Tender, snorkeling gear, and Paddleboards. Larger models (74' and above) often carry Seabobs, which are highly recommended for the clear waters of the Balearics. Always confirm the specific toy list for your chosen 2026 hull.
