Winesailing Area Mallorca
We found our love with Mallorca during our previous winesailing tours and the research for this trip. The local wine and the excellent regional kitchen are best companions for our cruise.
Mallorca offers ideal conditions for our winesailing trip: a beautiful and challenging sailing area as well as an internationally renowned wine growing area. We will be sailing along the fascinating coast of the island. We plan to leave Palma in southerly direction and then head towards the east.
The Winesailing Trip
Our trip starts in Marina La Lonja in the heart of palma (http://www.lalonjamarinacharter.com/index_de.htm). It is located approximately 10 minutes from the airport Palma de Mallorca. The Marina can be reached by public transport or taxi (approx. €25,- per cab).
You are not required to have previous sailing experience or wine knowledge. It will be a pleasure for us to share our know-how with you. The trip is well suited for everyone who likes people, enjoyment and wine.
Our catamaran is very comfortable and spacious. It has 5 double cabins – 4 with double beds and one with 2 bunk beds. We sell single beds (meaning 2 per cabin). The cabins are ideal for singles, couples, friends or groups.
We set high value on relaxing sailing and enjoyment. There will be enough time to relax, go swimming or land trips. For this reason the duration of the sailing parts will be no longer than 3-5 hours or 15-25 nautical miles. Variations can occur depending on wind and weather, of course.
We reach our partner wineries comfortably from the ports along our trip. Three wineries in two different wine growing areas will be visited and we are lucky to visit Mallorca during the harvest period. The small wineries will be very busy then, however, the winemakers take the time to meet us for a personal wine tasting of their wines.
