Charter & Rent a Sun Odyssey 380 in Mallorca: Prices, Routes & 2026 Guide
Sun Odyssey 380 Technical Specifications and Layout
The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 380 is a masterpiece of naval architecture, inheriting the award-winning "walk-around" side decks that have revolutionized ergonomic flow on deck. Unlike traditional sailboats where you must climb over the cockpit coaming, the 380 allows you to walk directly from the helm to the bow on a gentle incline. For 2026, the units available in Mallorca typically feature high-spec finishes and integrated Raymarine or B&G electronics.

The interior is remarkably bright, thanks to large hull portals and a contemporary rectangular bed in the master cabin—a rarity for a boat of this size. Most versions available for charter in the Balearics are the 3-cabin, 2-head configuration, making it ideal for groups of six plus a skipper.
Why the Sun Odyssey 380 is Ideal for Mallorca
Mallorca’s coastline is characterized by deep "Calas" (coves) and varying wind conditions. The Sun Odyssey 380 is particularly well-suited for this environment for several reasons:
- Draft and Maneuverability: With a manageable draft, you can safely enter shallower anchorages like Cala Pi or Cala Varques that larger yachts might avoid.
- The Walk-Around Deck: When anchoring in crowded spots like Illetes or Es Trenc, the ability to move quickly and safely to the bow to manage the windlass or fenders is a significant advantage.
- Sailing Performance: Mallorca experiences the "Embat" (thermal wind) during summer afternoons. The 380’s high-aspect rig and optional fat-head main ensure you can actually sail in 8-12 knots of breeze while others are forced to motor.
- Integrated Bowsprit: Most 2026 models come with an integrated bowsprit, allowing for easy deployment of a Code 0 or Gennaker for those light-wind downwind legs toward Menorca or Cabrera.
Pricing and Charter Types in Mallorca
When looking into **chartering a Sun Odyssey 380 in Mallorca**, prices fluctuate based on the week of the year. The 2026 season is expected to see peak demand in July and August.

You can choose between three main service levels when booking through our boats gallery:
- Bareboat: You act as the skipper. A valid ICC or RYA Day Skipper (or equivalent) is mandatory in Spanish waters.
- Skippered: A professional captain joins you. This is perfect for those who want to relax or learn the local secrets of the Tramuntana coast. (Expect to pay €200–€250 per day plus food).
- Crewed: While less common on a 38-foot boat, some clients request a host/cook to manage provisioning and light meals.
One-Day and Seven-Day Sailing Itineraries
Most Sun Odyssey 380 rentals depart from the **Real Club Náutico de Palma** or **Marina La Lonja**. These central locations provide immediate access to the Bay of Palma.
1-Day Route: The Southwest Coves
Departing at 10:00 AM, head southwest toward **Cala Falcó**. The 380’s easy-to-handle sail plan allows you to reach across the bay quickly. Spend midday at **Portals Vells**, famous for its sea caves. Before returning to Palma, enjoy a final swim at the pristine **Illetes** beach. This route involves minimal motoring and maximum relaxation.
7-Day Itinerary: The Southern & Eastern Shores
- Day 1: Palma to Sa Ràpita. Anchor near the famous **Es Trenc** beach.
- Day 2: Sail to **Cabrera National Park**. (Note: A permit must be secured in advance; the 380 is the perfect size for the park's mooring buoys).
- Day 3: Cabrera to **Cala d’Or**. Explore the narrow, fjord-like inlets of the east coast.
- Day 4: Cala d’Or to **Porto Colom**. A traditional fishing village with excellent protection.
- Day 5: Porto Colom to **Cala Ratjada**, passing the stunning Caves of Drach.
- Day 6: Long downwind leg back toward **Cala Pi**, observing the dramatic cliffs of the south coast.
- Day 7: Return to Palma, stopping for a final lunch at **Cap Rocat**.
Logistics: Marinas and Berthing in Mallorca
Mallorca offers some of the best maritime infrastructure in the world, but it comes at a price. During the 2026 high season, it is essential to book berths in advance via the Ports de Balears portal or Navily. For a Sun Odyssey 380 (approx. 11.5m including bowsprit), daily mooring fees in private marinas like **Puerto Portals** or **Port Adriano** can range from €120 to €220. Public "Ports IB" docks are significantly cheaper but harder to secure.
When **renting a Sun Odyssey 380 in Mallorca**, the first and last nights at the home marina are usually included in the charter price. If you prefer to avoid marina fees, Mallorca offers excellent holding ground for anchoring in sand, particularly on the south coast.
What is Included and Additional Costs
Transparency is key when **chartering a Sun Odyssey 380 in Mallorca**. Typically, the base price includes the yacht, VAT (21% in Spain), and standard equipment (bimini, sprayhood, GPS, kitchenware). However, you should budget for the "Transit Log" or "Comfort Pack," which usually covers:
- Final cleaning of the vessel.
- Bed linen and towels.
- Outboard engine for the dinghy.
- Gas for the galley.
Fuel: The boat is delivered with a full tank (130L) and must be returned full. The Sun Odyssey 380 is very fuel-efficient, consuming roughly 3-5 liters per hour at cruising RPM. APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance): Generally only applied to luxury motor yachts; for this sailing model, you will typically handle your own provisioning and "pay-as-you-go" for fuel and moorings.
Best Time to Sail
The sailing season in Mallorca runs from April to late October. For the best balance of wind and weather, June and September are the "Golden Months." During these periods, the sea temperature is pleasant (22°C-25°C), and the marinas are less crowded than in August. If you are looking for a performance-oriented sail, the north-westerly "Tramuntana" wind can provide exhilarating conditions, though the Sun Odyssey 380’s twin rudders ensure you maintain control even when the boat is heeled.
