Why the X4.3 is the Ideal Choice for Mallorca
Mallorca’s coastline is a mix of deep-water cliffs in the Serra de Tramuntana and shallow, sandy bays in the south. The X-Yachts X4.3 is particularly well-suited for these waters because of its vacuum-infused epoxy hull, which provides a light yet incredibly strong frame. This allows the boat to pick up speed even in the light thermal breezes (the "Embat") common in the Bay of Palma during summer afternoons.
With a moderate draft of 2.20 meters, the X4.3 can safely enter most of Mallorca’s iconic "calas," such as Cala Mondragó or Cala Llombards, allowing you to anchor close to the turquoise shorelines. The large cockpit area is designed for ergonomics; when at anchor, the fold-down swimming platform provides easy access for snorkeling, while the high-quality interior finishes offer a cool, refined retreat from the Mediterranean sun.
Chartering Costs in Mallorca: 2026 Price Estimates
When planning to rent a X-Yachts X4.3 in Mallorca, prices vary significantly depending on the season and the level of service required. The following table outlines the estimated weekly rates for a bareboat charter.
| Season | Months | Estimated Weekly Rate (EUR) |
|---|---|---|
| Low Season | April, May, October | €3,800 – €4,500 |
| Mid Season | June, September | €4,800 – €5,800 |

Bareboat vs. Skippered: If you possess a valid RYA Yachtmaster or equivalent ICC license recognized in Spain, you can opt for a bareboat charter. If you prefer to relax, a professional skipper can be hired for approximately €200–€250 per day plus provisions. For a fully crewed experience, including a hostess/chef, additional fees apply, and an APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) of 20-30% of the charter fee is typically required to cover fuel, food, and moorings.
Daily and Weekly Sailing Itineraries
Most X-Yachts X4.3 charters originate from Real Club Náutico de Palma or Marina La Lonja. Due to the boat's speed, you can cover more nautical miles than a standard cruising yacht of the same size.
Best 1-Day Route: The Southern Coves
Departing from Palma, head southeast toward Cala Vella. This secluded spot is only accessible by boat and offers crystal-clear waters for a morning swim. After lunch on board, sail toward Es Trenc, the most famous white-sand beach in Mallorca. The X4.3’s sailing performance allows for a spirited beat back to Palma even if the afternoon wind picks up.

Logistics: Marinas and Berthing in Mallorca
Mallorca boasts some of the best maritime infrastructure in Europe. When renting a X-Yachts X4.3, your primary base will likely be the Bay of Palma. However, during your charter, you may wish to dock in other ports. Be aware that 2026 mooring fees in premium marinas like Puerto Portals or Port Adriano can exceed €150 per night for a 13-meter vessel during August.
For those seeking a more tranquil and cost-effective evening, anchoring in the "Campos" region or using the buoy fields at Isla de Cabrera is recommended. Always ensure you book your Cabrera permit weeks in advance, as they are strictly limited to protect the National Park's ecosystem.
What is Included in Your Charter?
Understanding the "Transit Log" and mandatory extras is crucial for budgeting. When you book a X-Yachts X4.3 through Charter & Villas, the following typically applies:
- Included: Standard equipment, VAT (21% in Spain), and initial boat briefing.
- Mandatory Extras: End cleaning (approx. €180–€250), gas bottles, and bed linen/towels.
- Variable Costs: Fuel (the boat is delivered full and must be returned full), outboard engine for the dinghy, and mooring fees outside the home port.
