Recommendation: Charter a private catamaran for honeymoons in the balearic islands to secure a romantic escape with privacy, tailored amenities, and flexible routes.
On a catamaran you anchor in secluded coves around Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera, enjoying sunset cocktails as the stars rise over turquoise water. The vessel can accommodate couples in very comfortable cabins, and the crew designs courses of fresh Mediterranean dining to suit your tastes, including vegetarian options and seafood pairings. For playful moments, a scurfer board sits on deck and a tube is ready for a calm drift as you soak in the balearic light.
Our crew includes a member from germany who speaks fluent English and German, ready to tailor every day to your pace. They are willing to adjust plans if you spot a guana on a private dock or wish a quieter anchorage away from crowds. The captain can suggest routes that minimize motion on the sea and maximize quiet time on deck with a tube for floating and snorkeling.
Floating dining experiences elevate romance. The chef conducts courses of tasting menus, often featuring fresh seafood, citrus, and herbs from on-board gardens. The crew can arrange a private dinner under the stars, or a sunset cocktail hour on the bow with the beauty of the horizon and the balearic sea reflecting light. The catamaran’s layout is designed to accommodate five to eight guests comfortably, or more with advance notice as a member of the crew coordinates extra berths.
Best seasons for a balearic honeymoon run from late spring through early autumn, with warm seas, light winds, and clear nights. If you travel with a yacht, budget allowances cover fuel, port fees, crew, and provisioning; this practical information about options helps you choose a tempo that feels right and keeps romance at the center.

Booking Process, Payment Milestones, and Budget Tips
Reserve at least 6–9 months ahead to lock preferred itineraries and yacht options. Start with a waters-based list of must-haves: number of guests, dinner preferences, snorkeling stops, wakeboards, and a comfortable cabin layout. Those requests shape the open itinerary and help the crew tailor the experience around Tortola and turquoise bays explored.
Booking steps and timelines: After you confirm dates, share take itinerary notes with your broker–ports of call, provisioning expectations, and any special celebrations. Include Tortola as your anchor, specify snorkeling sites, propose open-deck dinners, and review wi-fi needs for guests in salon and cabins, and provide a spare snorkeling tube for those who need it. Makovska coordinates the details with the captain and provisioning team to keep everything smooth for those aboard.
Payment milestones: Secure the yacht with a 30% deposit at confirmation, 30% due 60 days before embarkation, and the final 40% due 30 days before. Expect itemized invoices: base charter, provisioning, marina fees, fuel, and crew gratuities. If terms need adjustment, Makovska can suggest flexible options to keep your schedule intact while protecting the vessel.
Budget tips: Currently, set a baseline charter rate and add provisioning, marina charges, and fuel. Use a per-person daily budget (for example, 60–120 USD) to guide dinners and excursions. Plan two premium dinners–one onboard and one onshore–to maximize romance without surprises. For guests, build a flexible schedule that lets you explore towns and coves at a comfortable pace. Leverage open waters and snorkeling to add memorable experiences without heavy rental costs, and confirm wi-fi access in the salon and cabins to stay connected. The Makovska team can help tailor the menu, select exquisite options, and keep the spending list in check while you enjoy the turquoise scenery and waters around Tortola.
