Rapide Routes: Palma de Mallorca

Palma has long been an important base for sailors in the Mediterranean. ⚓️

It’s where yachts come for refit and preparation, crews come together, and seasons begin. With a strong sailing culture, a deep network of marine expertise and easy access to the Balearics, it’s a natural starting point for exploring the Mediterranean.

And for the performance multihull community, the upcoming Multihull Cup at Port Adriano, September 25–27, 2026, is one to have on the calendar.

In our latest Rapide Routes, we take a closer look at Palma, from provisioning and refit to racing and exploring beyond the city.

Thinking of exploring Mallorca? Talk to us about finding the right boat for your Mediterranean adventures. 🤳
