The Balearics islands yacht charters

Strategically positioned on ancient trading routs between  Europe and Africa, these islands got their fair share of invaders:  Greeks, Romans, Turks, etc. Christian kings, Arab rulers and Jewish  merchants have all left their mark there. With a yacht charter in  Mallorca you can easily explore its diverse architectural heritage, in  colorful fiestas, ceremonies and cuisine.

Like mainland of Spain, the Balearics Islands have been inhabited  since pre-historic times. So many invaders laid claim to them at various  points in history. Both Catalan and Castilian Spanish are spoken in the  Balearics Islands, which has been an autonomous region since 1983.

One of the Balearic Islands yacht charter bases is located in  Mallorca, a beautiful mountainous island, with rolling hills, sandy  beaches and stalagmite caves. It's landscape, culture and entertainment  offers a wide range of experiences during your sailing vacation. And it  is also by far the most culturally rich.

The great Polish composer Frederic Chopin stayed at the monastery of  Valldemossa with his lover Aurora Dupin, better known as the French  novelist George Sand, in the winter of 1838, where he composed his 24  preludes. The English poet Robert Graves hosted Pablo Picasso and actors  Alec Guiness and Peter Ustinov at his house. The painter and sculptor  Joan Miro also found his home here. His works are on display in the  Fundacio Pilar i Joan Miro, on the outskirts of Palma.

Yacht charter Mallorca is incredibly diverse in its landscape,  architecture, culture or just entertainment. There is so much to enjoy  in Palma during a sailing vacation: from stunning nature reserves and  charming fishing villages to picturesque ruins and impressive country  estates. With bareboat or skippered charter you'll get whatever you want  here: wonderful beaches and vibrant nightlife with dancing and music,  or rural retreats with sedate and peaceful atmosphere.

Mallorca sailing conditions

The climate is mild, typically Mediterranean, with dry and sunny  summer. During July and August, average temperature raises to 75 – 85 F  with stable light winds from 5 to 15 knots. The winds are predominantly  southeast on the west part of the island and northwest on the eat part.  July marks the beginning of the peak sailing season, which will last  till the end of September. Cold winters are very rare in this area, with  average temperature around 60 F, Palma boat rentals are available the  year round. Nights are cold, but days are mostly sunny with partial  clouds. The highest rainfall is usually between October and December.  All in all, the weather is very pleasant and mild all year around.

Winter navigation

The average temperature in December-January in navigation area  near Balearic Islands is mild. The average max temperature is 18 C and  the minimum temperature 13 C. But it’s quite frequent to have a few days  with 20 C or above.

It’s necessary to be equipped with warm clothes and waterproof  jackets, but don’t be afraid it is just a precaution and if sunny and on  land, you will have chance to wear T-shirt.

All boats are supplied with bed linen and warm blankets; additional  heaters are also available to make the main saloon and cabins warm and  toasty in almost any conditions.

Nevertheless you should keep in mind that it is better to bring all  staff in soft bags or backpacks because space on the boat is limited.  Take the most comfortable clothes (wool socks, wool sweater, waterproof  jackets, water resistant shoes, wool hats), sunglasses, and protective  sun cream, personal medicines, toilette accessories and gloves.

Places of interest

The island's north-west coast is especially scenic, with its  terraced cliff sides and hidden coves. Once you venture away from  crowds, this area will give you a pleasant sense of isolation. It's  craggy coast is dotted with watch towers, ancient monasteries and  churches and picturesque idyllic villages.

Sun Marroig, estate of 18th century, has been converted into a museum with a great collection of pottery and paintings.

Mirador del Ses Animes, the former defense tower, standing on a steep rock, is visible from far away.

Port d'Andratx, used to be a small fishing port, now harbors  expensive yachts for the rich and famous. The cute town, with its white  shuttered houses and cobbled streets, lies in a valley, while the old  watch towers are formidably standing on the hill above it.

Another popular attraction is the pearl factory at nearby Manacor.

On the island's east coast, near the fishing port of Porto Cristo,  are the Caves of Drach, which contain one of the world's largest  underground lakes.

Mallorca's Caves

Caves in Mallorca are formed out of limestone rocks. Some are the  size of a cathedral with dripstones that form fantastic forms and are  illuminated for better impression. Once they provided shelter for early  settlers or hiding places for pirates. Although Mallorca has about 200  caves, only a few of them are open to public. And it's worth taking a  tour! There is a number of caves with underground lakes. They have great  acoustics and concerts can be performed by the musicians seated in  boats.

Beaches of Mallorca

Mallorca has about 80 beaches. The best are around Badia de Palma.  Some of the beaches include restaurants, fun parks, water sports and  beachside bars. But it is still possible to find secluded beaches:  however they may have quite a few facilities and could be difficult to  reach.

Palma de Mallorca

Palma over the years has transformed itself from a provincial  town into a metropolis. With a quarter of a million residents, it is  Mallorca's main city and the capital of Baleares province. It captivates  you by the evident signs of its rich history: dominant cathedrals,  grand public buildings, exquisite private mansions.

On a hill overlooking the port there is Bellver Castle, a fine  example of the 14th century military architecture. Caiman Forum Palma,  built in 1902, the most impressive 20th century building, now serves as a  cultural center. Palau Reial de I'Almudaina, the former royal residence  built in 1309, is now turned into a museum. And here is the Gothic  Cathedral, built of golden sandstone, is one of the most breathtaking  buildings in Spain. Palma Cathedral is one of the best-sited cathedrals  anywhere - it is positioned high on the sea wall towering over the  harbor. The construction began in 1230 and finished in 1601. At the  beginning of the century Antonio Gaudi remodeled most of its interior.

Among other structures of interest are Arab Baths of the 10th  century, Church of San Francisco of the 13th century and The Forn Teatro  (Theater Bakery), well-known for its impressive facade and it's  delicious pastries.

Spanish cuisine is as varied as the country itself. Good  quality local cuisine is always available. Most of the Balearic dishes  are Catalan in origin: ensaimadas  - spiral pastries dusted with icing  sugar or sobrasadas - spicy pork pates.

But the influence of each occupying force over the centuries - Arabs,  French or British – also has left its mark on the local cuisine, as  well. Sobrasada - a sausage-meat spread. Embutits – cured meats.  Surrounded by water, there is no wonder that seafood (especially lobster  and cray fish) predominates here. Caldereta de llagosta (lobster stue),  once a simple fishermen's dish is now a delicacy. The classic Mallorcan  dish is Pa Amb Oli, a slice of toasted bread rubbed with garlic and  drizzled with local olive oil. Tapas are popular bite-sized snacks,  often served hot with chilled wine or beer.

Sailing itinerary

We offer several options of sailing itineraries in Malloca  depending on the duration of the yacht charer weather conditions, your  personal preferences and starting point of your sailing vacation. There  are three major charter areas in Mallorca: Palma, Porto Colom and  Alcudia or Pollenca. Alcudia is a great starting point for all types of  itineraries including one week sailing to Menorca, while Palma and Porto  Colom are the best to explore Eastern or Western part of Majjorca  icluding round the island sailing trip.

Porto Cristo

Is a small town located on the eastern part of Mallorca. It was  not affected by mass tourism and preserved most of its charm and lovely  white sand beaches. Here you will find no trendy bars or busy  nightclubs but tranquil atmosphere where you can lie on the beach and  drink a cold beer without being disturbed.

The must-see attraction are two cave complexes called “Coves del  Drach and Coves dels Hams” that offer and incredible experience of  Mallorca’s natural beauty

Cala Figuera

More than in any other part of Mallorca, Cala Figueres retains the  atmosphere of an authentic fishing port. Here you will see white washed  houses on the water’s edge and fishermen fixing their nets. It’s a good  idea to arrive early and buy some catch of the day.

Cala Santanyi

Cala Santanyi located on the south-eastern part of Mallorca, is a  popular beach and diving area. Local diving school offers great diving  courses so or you can just bask in the crystal-clear water. There are  several resort style hotels in the area

This place is famous for many hidden calla’s and coves in the  area. For the food lovers, Cala D’Or offers a number of diverse  restaurants and busy bars.

Cala Ratjada

Sailing east of Mallorca you will find this small fishing  village known for its fine white sand beaches, pristine clear water and  turquoise sea. If you’re looking for a slightly more serene experience  take a short walk away from the beach to the lighthouse at Punta de  Capdepera which offers fantastic view over to Menorca.

For the foodies, take a lunch trip to Es Coll d’Os which has a great  atmosphere and prides itself on home grown food. For a traditional meal,  Reco D’es Moll servers the finest Tapas in the area.

Sailing to the north tip of Mallorca you will find Pollenca, a  well sheltered anchorage, but there is also a marina if you’re looking  for some creature comforts. You should also check to see if there are  any festivals or fairs happening whilst you’re visiting as they are  popular and frequent here.

Mao-Mahon is the capital city of Menorca. It also known as the  second deepest natural harbor in the world; 5km long and 900 meters  wide. Sailing to Mahón harbor you will see La Mola Fortress, former  military prison during the Franco dictatorship and the Saint Felip  Castle. These sites certainly make entrance to the harbor quite an  experience. Once you are in Mahon you can choose either to take a  mooring, anchor or shelter in the harbor.

Fornells is a traditional fisherman's town on the north coast  of Menorca. Here you will find large well protected harbor, surrounded  by picturesque white washed buildings with local restaurants and bars.

Sailing to Fornells you see how this place retained its charm by fending off major development.

Near Fornells bay you will notice couple of pretty coves and three  small islands home to the indigenous blue green lizard 'S'argantana  Balear'. These coves and islands can only be reached by boat.

Must try local cuisine. Dinner in Fornells is a real feast for fish  lovers. This place offers number of fantastic fish restaurants which  Fornells has become renowned for.

This is a former capital of Menorca, a small charming town,  with old cobbled streets and reminiscent of a bygone era. Entering the  harbor, you will be amazed by stunning beauty of this town. Take a  mooring in front of the pier that is lined with bars and restaurants, so  you can literally hop off your yacht straight into a bar; and then roll  back out again.

The old town Cuitadella it's definitely worth visiting. You will  reach it by heading up some cobbled stairs where you will find many  remains of what the town used to be like, including the still standing  Cathedral of Menorca in the old town.

Ports and Marinas as far as the eye can see: cast your lines!

The possibilities to charter a shiny new yacht in Palma de Mallorca are endless. Whether in the Real Club Nautico Yacht Club, the Marina La Lonja, Marina Alboran and Marina Joyeria Relojeria or on Pier 46 , almost 200 sailboats, motorboats and catamarans are in the well maintained docking areas, waiting to be chartered. With the appropriate favorite water vessel, a very special and personal discovery of the island’s southern coast can begin. For example, catamarans have no keel and therefore do not weigh a lot, which makes them very fast boats. This makes the catamaran a wonderful and luxurious choice to explore the many beautiful corners of Palma de Mallorca. A quiet sailing cruise from the marina also goes by the giant mega-yachts that are anchored there, including the largest private sailing boat made of wood. The “Creole” is 60 meters long and belongs to the Gucci family, of fashion fame; the Emir of Qatar also often has his luxury yacht in the bay, in order to enjoy the idyllic view of the old city from the water. A secret that the super rich also want to take advantage of is Phillipe Starck’s Mole, including the specialty restaurant of the Sylt-Zanzibar owner, which was re-launched in the last year. For a longer trip, writing up a detailed list of advice and recommendations is a good idea in order to have a dream vacation on this Balearic island . Experienced sailors can also use Palma de Mallorca as the perfect point of origin for a trip to the neighboring islands Menorca and Ibiza and even for a trip ashore in Barcelona . Sailing route suggestion for Majorca .

With a license or without – in Palma de Mallorca it’s always time for a yacht charter

Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, with an average of 303 days of sunshine annually in Palma de Mallorca, it is always sailing season here . Even early in the year and in the fall, the temperatures are a mild 15 to 25º (59-77ºF) and even in the winter they often stay above 10º (50ºF). Better yet, it seldom rains, so just with the proper type of clothing, an excursion at sea is possible throughout the year. The island has many aspects that boat enthusiasts already enjoy no matter the time of year, but naturally they love it even more in the summer, when the water temperature is usually about 25º (77ºF) and is perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Despite the at times very crowded and therefore quite tight port facilities, which can then be difficult to maneuver through, the entire Mallorca area is a perfect region for beginner and less experienced yacht charter crews. Due to the shallow waters and almost non-existent current , there are hardly any navigational challenges in these waters . However, wind prediction in the area tends to be difficult. Generally, though, winds tend to blow at 2 to 4 on the Beaufort scale (Bft), and the Mistral and Tramontana winds only rarely create challenging conditions . The cruising area is also has consistently spaced buoys and beacons. However, it is recommended that, if you have any uncertainties at all when you are booking, that you hire a skipper and crew directly with your yacht charter, which is very simply with YACHTICO.com . If you don’t have a boating license, there are numerous and varied renowned schools in Palma de Mallorca, where you can earn your full sailing license in a few days. A sound knowledge of navigation, such as by map and compass; the safety equipment on boar; mechanical engineering; various sailing knots; and meteorology are also necessary for a safe and relaxing sail, and these skills, too, can be refreshed at the schools in Palma de Mallorca. Currently in Mallorca, it is not a problem to sail a boat of maximum 15 PS and four meters in length without a sailing license, and in smaller motorboats just four people are allowed on board. In 2014, it is expected that boats up to six meters long will also be allowed to be chartered without any special training.

Tips for an unforgettable day in the Old City

Palma de Mallorca also offers tons of popular attractions for those who want to take a land break from the Mediterranean Sea. When booking your accommodation, it is worth it to keep an eye out for options with a roof terrace. Nothing is so relaxing as, on the first day of your holiday, to look on the roofs of the city and start the day with the first rays of warm sunshine. In the morning, you should visit the impressive La Seu Cathedral, an important Palma landmark, and one of the largest churches in the world. And it is not for nothing that it is also called the Cathedral of Light – gorgeous light reflects through the entire height and width of the nave, with an extraordinary effect. Follow your trip to the Cathedral with a stroll through the trendy “Little Scandinavia,” west of the old city. Penthouse apartments and Fibonacci bakeries as well as coffee shops line the path. Then head to the magnificent old town, where the small and inconspicuous streets often produce the most interesting shops. The traditional café “Ca’n Joan de S’aigo” is a very popular chocolatier, and locals love it for the homemade almond ice cream as well as for the ensaimadas, which are the typical biscuits with a lot of powdered sugar. For a heftier spot for lunchtime, “Bar Joan Frau”, near the market hall, is a snack bar that is said to have the best paella in Mallorca. The neighborhood’s meeting place is the Sifoneria, where Majorcan wine is bottled and sold directly from the barrel. Just in time for siesta, a nice shady spot invites you to sit with a glass of the island’s schnapps, caramel liquor with gentian. In the early evening, beach clubs attract many people with their great lighting and lounge music, and you can sit and watch the last rays of sunshine for the day. Roxy Bar in Portals Nous and Balneario Illetas, west of Palma, are especially popular. Then let the day wind down in the show kitchen of the star chef Marc Frosh, before heading to one of the trendy clubs in exciting Llonja and dance the night away.

With a suitable sailing yacht, it is also possible to sail to further away destinations such as the rugged cliffy seaside villages of Porto Colom and the sandy bay of Cala Mondragó, in the middle of a picturesque nature reserve, which with a boat are far more accessible. Even the worn canyons in the north, like the Torrent de Pareis, whose riverbed has been dried by drought, are possible destinations for a several day trip around the magnificent island of Mallorca.

Palma De Mallorca

Welcome to Mallorca!

Palma de Mallorca is the capital of the Balearic Islands and also one of the major yachting hubs in the Mediterranean. Here you will find large superyacht marinas, shipyards, crew agencies, crew training schools, a handful of crew houses and basically any other yachting service, you can ever dream of.

For yacht crew it is close to being the perfect destination to be based out of. Most marinas are located nearby shopping, nightlife and restaurants, perhaps with the exception of Puerto Portals and Port Adriano. The city itself has a great city vibe and is nothing less than breathtakingly beautiful! You will really enjoy your stay here, in particular on your days off, when you can explore the mountains, the old villages and of course the many beaches surrounding Mallorca. It is no wonder why so many yachties decided to call this little Mediterranean gem of an island home. There is little doubt that you will be leaving a rather large piece of your heart behind come the day, when you throw the lines and sail out through the Bay of Palma while watching the city and its’ cathedral with the mountains as a backdrop.

For those looking to find work or to get started in yachting, Palma is also a brilliant choice considering the large amount of crew agencies found here, the reasonably priced options for crew housing, crew training facilities, ease of networking and of course the large amount of yachts pulling in and out of port – all while being able to enjoy life to the fullest…  On the flipside many marinas are gated, yet most dockwalkers seem to be able to manage to hand out CVs, find daywork and for some that elusive permanent gig on the yacht of their dreams!

This little mini-guide was written to help you find your way around the city and to get settled in as smoothly as possible;

Please select any of the tabs below to view the information contained.

Palma De Mallorca Information

Enjoying mallorca, crew houses, property agencies, flat shares, room booking sites, accomodation facebook groups, transport info, tourist information, crew training, crew agencies, marinas & shipyards, crew medical services, emergency contacts.

1 Reserve crew house well in advance

The yachting hubs get very busy during the season with crew houses known to be fully booked from the end of March throughout June-ish. If you decide to stay in a crew house, then it is vital to make a reservation as soon as you know when you will be going. Make sure to bring a printed confirmation. A listing of crew houses can be found in the “Crew Houses”-section. Alternatively, you also have the option of staying in a hostel. HostelWorld is a brilliant tool to help you find the most suitable hostels for soon-to-be-yachties.

2 Passport- and visa copy

Keep with you a laminated copy of your passport and any visa you may be required. This way you limit the risk of being stuck overseas without any sort of ID. Include your emergency contact numbers on the backside – and possibly also your blood type.

3 Credit Card numbers

Make a note of your credit card numbers and the related lost/stolen telephone help line. You can leave them on a note with your family, for instance.

4 Local Transport

This is usually pretty easy although during the evenings or on public holidays public transportation can be somewhat limited. Tell the driver where you need to go, and he will normally let you know where to get off.

Watch your belongings when using public transportation. Several cases of crew having lost bags, phones etc. have been reported in the past.

The public transport around Mallorca is actually quite good;

• city buses (EMT)
• island-wide buses (TIB)
• public train line serving Inca and Manacor
• scenic tourist train Palma – Sóller, where you can connect to Port de Sollèr via the vintage tram
• ferries to Menorca, Ibiza, Barcelona, Valencia and Toulon

On the Palma de Mallorca Airport website you will find updated flight info along with other practical information about the airport itself and how to get to and from the airport .

To get into Palma from the airport get on Line 1 Airport–Palma .

Buses operate between 06.30 to 22.10h in direction of Palma and 05.30 to 21.30h in direction of the airport. A single fare is 5 Euros for non-residents. The bus stops just outside the arrivals and departures with easy access to both.

Fares within the city are 2 Euros or 1.50 if you buy a 10-journey prepaid card. All bus schedules can be found on the EMT Palma website .

If you are looking to go dockwalking in Puerto Portals ( Line 108N) and/or Port Adriano ( Line 106N ) you will need to get on the red/yellow TIB intercity bus, which operates between the main bus station underneath Plaza España and via the Paseo Maritimo (the port) to either of the two ports. All schedules and routes are listed here . Bus fares vary depending on your destination. Tickets are 40% cheaper when purchased in the bus station.

Airport taxis are found to the right of the pedestrian escalator just outside the arrivals terminal. The price into the city is approximately 18 Euros plus luggage- and night supplements. Taxis are usually plentiful but if not, they can be reached at

• Taxi Palma +34 971 134 700
• Taxis Palma Radio +34 971 401 414
• Radio Taxi +34 971 201 212

There are three different lines operating from underneath Plaza España;

• Line T1 Inca
• Line T2 Sa Pobla via Inca
• Line T3 Manacor via Inca, Sineu and Petra

All lines stop in Poligono Marratxí, where you find the Bluewater training facilities.

Additionally, the Ferrocarril de Sóller vintage train serves the very scenic route to Sóller from where you connect to Puerto de Sóller via the tram service. This makes for a great day of exploring. The Saturday market (8-14.00h) in Sóller followed by seaside lunch and drinks in the port is a Mallorca classic and a must-do!

• Uber: Not available in Palma

A few good pointers to how you can save money / avoid being scammed when using ATMs and shopping with your bank card overseas;

– ALWAYS withdraw in LOCAL currency (US$ in US, EUROS in EU/Euro zone, GBP in UK, Rand in South Africa, Swiss Francs in Switzerland etc.)

– ALWAYS decline conversion (leave it to your own bank)

– ALWAYS pay good attention to the transaction fee – in particular in areas with lots of nightlife. (one yachty experienced being charged 50 USD in Cancun just to withdraw 100 USD!!!)

– Some ATMs will offer quite large amounts (to make a larger profit from the transaction). In such case, see what your alternative options are.

Check out this great explanatory video where you will see how it works in real life. Potentially, it will save you a lot of money!

6 Get a local SIM card

Getting yourself set up with a local telephone number is not strictly required. Yet, people prefer to call local numbers rather than overseas numbers despite everyone being on WhatsApp these days. Furthermore, you may avoid any roaming charges associated with your current provider.

In Spain many yachties use

• Hits Mobile
• Lebara Mobile

All three providers offer pay-as-you-go plans with accumulation of unused GB.

As soon as you have a local number make sure to include it on your CV and business card as well as updating your number with any crew agencies you are signed up with.

7 Print business cards and CVs

The sooner you have your CV and business cards (the Spanish call it a “Tarjeta de Visita”) printed, the sooner you will be ready to start the job hunt.

Both clip art and templates are available for free online. The very simple design above was made using Canva (which also offers great templates for your CV). They even give you the option to include nautical themes such as an anchor, a lighthouse, a compass, a sail, waves, a rising sun, a dolphin – you name it…

Alternatively, for a very minimal fee you can have a professional designer create a print-ready professional looking business card (and CVs) on FIVERR . The design below includes double-sided design and unlimited revisions. This business card was designed by a designer starting her design service at just 5 USD.

Make sure to include the following information:

• Telephone / WhatsApp / Skype
• Short objective / “Available for Daywork, Freelance, Deliveries, Full-time or Part Time work” – as applies to you
• Qualifications
• Photo (optional, although it will help the recipient remember you)
• QR code* with link to your CV

* Free QR codes can easily be generated online. Next, download the scannable code and include it with your business card.

Your business card does not have to be the highest print quality available, but obviously the better quality the more it will stand out. Many yachties use Moo.com and VistaPrint.com . Both are great services and well-recommended. You can work on this in advance and have your business cards delivered straight to your crew house or your home address prior to traveling to Palma de Mallorca, although doing so you will not be able to include a local number.

Locally, crew have been recommending business card- and CV printing in the beginning of Carrer dels Oms (the pedestrian street connecting Las Ramblas with Plaza España). Here you will find a number of printing shops on the left side of the street. They are not expensive either.

• Copisteria Bohigas – Carrer dels Oms 40

( Mon – Fri: 9-13.30h 16.30-19.30h Sat 10.30-13.30h)

• Central Copistería , Carrer dels Oms 44

(Mon – Fri: 9-13.30h 16.30-19.30h)

• Paperoms , Carrer dels Oms 48

(Mon – Fri: 9-13.00h. Private appointments: 16-      19.00h)

A little closer to Santa Catalina and La Lonja you find

• Impresrapit , Calle Baró Santa Maria del Sepulcre 7 (one of the two streets opposite the main entrance to the small El Corte Inglès) on Jaime III (Mon-Friday 9-18.00h)

How many cards and CVs to print is up to you to decide, but somewhere around 50-100 CVs and perhaps 200 business cards should do you fine to begin with. It is easy to have more printed, if necessary.

As for printing CVs, one important thing to remember is that if you work on it or make prints in a public internet café etc . always remember to delete your CV off the computer , when you are done.

8 Get to know the ports Finding out which ports are most popular with superyachts is essential, obviously. Pick the brains of others staying in your crew house or hostel. They will most likely know where to go. Some marinas will be way better for dockwalking than others. Some may be gated, while others may have easy access. Some may have lots of large yachts, while others are for small pleasure yachts with no professional crew on board.

And then there are the shipyards, where there is always work going on. They will usually have security by the gate, often with strict security measures. There is a good reason for that; other than providing security for their clients, with a lot of heavy machinery moving around and the type of work going on, dockwalking can be dangerous, in particular for newcomers to yachting. Generally, dockwalking is not recommended in shipyards. Instead try and meet crew in the yachty bars after work.

The following marinas and shipyards are popular with superyachts in the Balearic Islands;

• Port Ibiza Town
• Marina Ibiza*
• Club de Mar*
• Pantalán del Mediterráneo*
• Marina Port de Mallorca*
• Real Club Nautico – RCNP*
• Astilleros**
• Puerto Portals (Portals Nous)
• Port Adriano (El Toro)

*   Gated Marina

** Gated Shipyard – for safety reasons   dockwalking is not encouraged!

Job seekers will primarily be looking for work in Palma de Mallorca, which is the main yachting hub in Spain. If you are in or close by any of the other locations, you can also try your luck there.

You can use MarineTraffic to see if any new yachts have arrived or to check out how busy the various ports in your area are.

9 Networking

There is little doubt that he large majority of crew jobs goes through word of mouth. For this reason, it is really important for you to start building a good network within the industry already from Day 1.

The more people, who knows you are looking for work, the larger are your chances of finding work. It is often seen that a yacht already employing a dayworker or two needs more dayworkers the following day. In such a case the captain will nearly always ask the dayworkers if they know of anyone else, who may be available. That’s where you get in the picture, but only if you have an established network. Here are a few of ideas of how to do that;

First off, build a good reputation for yourself as being friendly and helpful – and be sociable.

• When you do yachting courses meet up for a drink or two after training is over and connect with everyone attending the course on Facebook.
• If you do your STCW and other entry-level training keep in touch with your fellow students.
• Stay in a crew house instead of private accommodation.
• If you stay in a crew house be sociable with everyone.
• It is no secret that sailors like a drink or three. Neither is it a secret that the best way to meet yacht crew is either when dayworking or in the bars.
• When you daywork, be friendly and sociable with everyone on board– without interfering with their work. You may run into them in the bar one of the coming days or perhaps in years from now on a different yacht!
• Try not to miss out on any yachting events such as boat shows, crew events, webinars or crew dinners. These events will normally be announced ahead of time in the Yacht Crew Facebook groups, among others.
• When you meet people in the industry, share your business card and within reason ask them if you may add that person on Facebook.
• Use Facebook to build your network. Set up an account purely for yachting and add other yachties and industry professionals. Be active with posting photos etc., which gives them something to comment on. Make sure, they can tag you in job posts.
• In the Facebook group covering your current location ask if there is anyone, who might be interested to meet up. You could ask if there is anyone from your country in town or if there is anyone interested in participating in an activity that you both share (rent a car together and go exploring for the weekend, go for a run, go to the beach, go on a hike, go to the movies, go for a drink, go to watch rugby or Champions League in a bar, go out for a pizza etc.).

After work many venture out for a drink just to get off the boat for a little while. Crew tend to frequent the same bars, no matter where in the world, they are located. Some of the more popular yachty bars in the area are;

• The Corner Bar
• The Anchor (Cala Mayor)
• The Crow’s Nest (Cala Mayor)
• Mojo Beach (Cala Mayor)

Long story short, making a good name for yourself and being proactive in your quest to build a larger network will pay off, eventually. The more people you know, the larger are the chances that work will come to you. Good luck!

10 Weekly budget

Make your money last as long as possible. As simple as that may sound, you will have a fair few expenses including;

• Travel insurance
• Local transportation
• Accommodation
• Printing of business cards and CVs
• Mobile phone
• Training & ENG/1
• Unforeseen expenses

Your expenses will vary all depending on the location. South of France is by far the most expensive destination in Europe, while Palma is not exactly super cheap either. Fort Lauderdale is somewhere in between.

You can also save a fair amount of money on making your own food or sharing with others rather than going out for pizzas, kebabs and burgers.

Over in Antibes some have been using the local campsites in the past, which saved them a bunch of money. Unfortunately, camping is unavailable in Palma de Mallorca. Many end up renting a private room or share a flat with other job seeking yachties. These options are cheaper than most crew houses and hostels, but keep in mind the importance of networking, which will be limited in particular when renting a private room. If you choose to stay in a hostel or in a crew house inquire about prices prior to booking. You can find a list of crew houses and hostels in the crew house section.

There is also money to be saved on local transportation. To get around the city, you can buy a second hand bicycle or moped on Facebook or travel by bus and train instead of by taxi, even though they are not terribly expensive in Palma. Simon Chippindale has a great service offering fixed-up second hand bicycles at fair prices. His “buy-it-back”-policy is also very popular with yacht crew, so you may want to check out which bikes he has in stock. Most public transportation will offer discounts on multiple journeys or day passes so look into that. There are links posted in the “Local Transport”-section.

When it comes to printing business cards, then you can have FREE business cards printed on VistaPrint . They come with a small advert on the backside, but they do the job.

Phone plans continue to change, so it is impossible to say which one is cheapest and which one suits your needs best, but also there you can save yourself a bunch. Shop around, check online rates and if in doubt, ask on Palma Yacht Crew to see what other crew recommends.

Finding daywork is obviously a complete game changer when it comes to your budget. Suddenly, you have an income, which will make life so much easier plus you spend less if you eat on board. Keep spending your money wisely. You never know when you will find work next – it could take weeks!

Putting a number on any of the expenses mentioned above is nearly impossible, as we are all different. Some will not mind sleeping in a tent, while others may want to share an AirBnB rental apartment. Some may be partying everyday while others will meet up for a cup of coffee here and there. Some may not find any daywork at all (it is not uncommon these days, unfortunately), while others find daywork on day 1. In Palma, count on a monthly budget in the range of 1,000-1,500 Euros (not including training and medical expenses).

Watch over your money like a hawk! If you piss it away, apart from having a good time, your job hunt could come to an end much sooner.

11 Training

Having the right credentials is key to finding a job on a yacht. In an industry that is surrounded by rules and regulations, there is just no way around it. Common for all crew, you must have your STCW/10 Basic Safety Training (sometimes referred to as STCW/95) and the ENG/1 or a similar seafarer medical certificate.

The minimum requirements to work on a yacht depend on the position you are looking for;

• Deckhand: STCW/10, Powerboat 1+2 including VHF
• Stewardess: STCW/10, Food & Hygiene Level 2
• Engineer: STCW/10, AEC
• Chef: STCW/10, Ship’s Cook Certificate

Desirable courses, which will improve your chances of finding work:

• Proficiency in Designated Security Duties (PDSD) (all crew)
• Personal Water Craft Instructor (PWC Instructor) (Deckhands)
• Yachtmaster Offshore (Deckhands)
• Silver Service (Stewardesses)

If these courses are not available in your current location, you can do them in Antibes, Palma, Fort Lauderdale and UK – among others but remember to book your courses well in advance!

In the “Crew Positions” section, you can read more about which certificates are necessary to work in the position you are looking for and to progress up the ranks.

Course prices vary hugely between destinations. In countries such as South Africa, the Philippines and various Eastern European countries, you will find some of the best prices. In the UK and US prices are fairly reasonable while in Palma and Antibes some prices are at the higher end of the scale. It definitely pays to compare prices between the schools if you are on a somewhat tight budget. Do keep in mind any added travel expenses should you decide to do courses in other locations. Also make sure whether or not VAT is included in the course price. Some schools list their prices excluding VAT.

There are a number of training schools in Palma. All of them have a good reputation, and prices are mostly about the same. Some may offer you 10% Palma Yacht Crew discount off some courses, but you will have to inquire directly.

Courses available locally include (but are not limited to)

• STCW/10 (English or Spanish)
• Powerboat Level 1+2
• Yachtmaster Offshore and Ocean
• Proficiency in Designated Security Duties (PDSD)
• PWC Proficiency / Instructor
• OOW modules
• Food Safety & Hygiene Level 2
• Silver Service
• U.E.S.T. interior modules
• Medical training

If you have any questions, remember you can always ask on Palma Yacht Crew !

Good luck to you – and enjoy Mallorca!

Getting around Mallorca is generally pretty easy. During the evenings or on public holidays public transportation can be somewhat limited, however. Tell the driver where you need to go, and he will normally let you know where to get off.

As nearly anywhere in the world, when you use public transport, please

Watch your belongings! Several cases of crew having lost bags, phones etc . have been reported in the past.

With that said, the public transport around Mallorca is actually quite good and safe. You will find the following options;

General Info:   – www.aena.es/en/palma-mallorca-airport/airlines.html

Flight Info:        – www.aena.es/csee/Satellite/infovuelos/en/

To get into Palma from the airport get on Line 1 Airport–Palma . The bus stop is located after the taxis when exiting the Arrivals.

To get to or from the airport on Bus #1:

• STP/Astilleros and Santa Catalina get on/off opposite Bar Cuba.
• The rest of the port get on/off at Paseo Maritimo, but mention the name of the marina to the driver as the Paseo has numerous stops.
• La Lonja (Bluewater Yachting / Corner Bar) get on/off at Paseo Mallorc a
• The city centre get on/off at Plaza España

Buses operate between 06.30 to 22.10h in direction of Palma and 05.30 to 21.30h in direction of the airport. A single fare is 5 Euros for non-residents. The bus stops just outside the Departures and Arrivals with easy access to both.

The bus- and train station with connections to all other destinations on the island is located beneath Plaza España

You can find bus schedules here:

– Palma:                         www.emtpalma.es

Additionally, the Ferrocarril de Sóller vintage train serves the very scenic route to Sóller from where you connect to Puerto de Sóller via the tram service. This makes for a great day of exploring. The Saturday market (8-14.00h) in Sóller followed by seaside lunch and drink in the port is a Mallorca classic and a must-do!

STAMPING OUT of SCHENGEN:

If you are joining or getting off a yacht in Palma, and you are there on a Schengen visa, then you need to get stamped out / back into the Schengen, so your 90-day permit to stay reflects exactly how many days you have left on your visa.

What you need to do is to go to the ferry terminal behind Club de Mar. Take the escalator to the 1 st  floor and on the right of the building you will find the Police office (Puesto Fronterizo de la Policia Nacional). It’s open 8am – 2pm. Bring a stamped and signed (by the captain) crew list, letter from captain, boat registration details, your contract and your passport. If you are too busy to do this yourself, Estella Shipping offers this service as well for a fee.

Renting a boat in Palma de Mallorca

Palma is one of the prime cruising destinations not just in Spain, but in all of Europe. One of the main cities to charter a boat in Majorca , along with Formentera, Menorca, make up the main attraction for sailing enthusiasts visiting the Balearic Islands. It looks like this city in Mallorca was created by nature for the sole purpose of sailing. It has multiple anchorages, secluded coves, and many natural harbors – all features that sailing enthusiasts look for in their dream boating destination. You might also want to hire a sailboat in Majorca or even maybe to charter a catamaran in Majorca .

 In Palma, you will find no shortage of activities. Experience the Spanish way of life in the hilltop villages, visit the wonderful orchards of oranges, enjoy the hidden beaches, and time travel by feasting the eyes on the stunning Gothic architecture. This holiday city is a lot more fun for tourists who love boating. That being said, Palma is many times more beautiful when seen from the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. If your main destination is Palma and you're looking to hire a boat, you'll definitely find what you're looking for. The waters bordering the city are full of boats of all shapes and sizes. It has some of the best and highly professional services that you can find when renting a boat in the Balearic Islands. 

When to Sail in Palma? 

The city of Palma enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate, which is a subtropical climate characterized by hot and dry summers and humid but mild winters.  While other parts of Mallorca and its fellow Balearic Islands are known to experience strong north wind that blows over the Mediterranean, Palma escapes this problem, largely due to the mountainous ranges. The city receives moderate to heavy rainfall from November to April. The remaining months get almost no rainfall, leaving Palma hot and dry, as mentioned above. 

The summers are hot, but not unbearable, thanks to the cooling effect of the Mediterranean waters. The summer is at its peak in August, when the temperature reaches the maximum of 40℃. Again due to the surrounding sea, Palma never experiences sub-zero temperature winters. Palma witnesses its peak tourism season from April to June, September, and October. Even though these are the biggest months in demand, keep in mind that they will also bring the most amount of tourists so plan accordingly. If you want to avoid the crowds, be sure to plan outside these months. 

Cost and Availability of Hiring a Boat in Palma

When it comes to chartering a boat in Palma, you'll have a wide selection due to the popularity of the region. If you choose a catamaran charter or choose a motor boat, you'll find something in your budget. For yacht charters in Palma, you can expect to pay on average of 450€ for catamarans and 350€ per day for sailboats. If you are planning to rent a motor boat, it is best to sort by type of activity. With the large amount of boats, you'll have motor boats that are best for a day out to see the coast and others for water sports. Either way, keep in mind that the prices will fluctuate depending on the season you choose to visit. 

For weekly charters in Palma, boats begin to get booked up by November for the next year. Due to the high demand, it is best to look as soon as possible. 

Do you need a license to charter a boat in Palma?

In order to rent a boat in Palma, you will have to follow the national laws of Spain. There are two cases in which you will be asked to present a valid license. If you are renting a motor boat with more than 15hp and 4 meters in length or if it is a sailboat bigger than 5 meters in size. In addition to having a license, you will be required to fill out a nautical CV that showcases your previous experience in regards to what boats you've captained and what what waters you've sailed. 

If you need more experience or want nothing to do with the controls, hire a boat with skipper and only worry about the beautiful locations you will go to. 

Practical Information for Sailing in Palma?

When getting to Palma, you'll have several choices of airlines operating flights in and out of the city. Palma and other parts of Mallorca are served by the Son Sant Joan Airport, which is the third-largest airport in Spain and just 8km from Palma. The Balearic Islands, which also includes the city of Palma, receive tourists almost throughout the year and the Son Sant Joan Airport serves more than a million passengers every year. There are several domestic flights connecting Palma to other Spanish cities (in the region and mainland) such as Seville, Menorca, Ibiza, Valencia, Madrid, and Barcelona. 

Holidaymakers could use a bus or cab to commute from the airport to the accommodation. From the airport, the bus service will take you to Palma town center and Playa de Palma; check out the bus routes and timetable for more information. Alternatively, tourists can also hire a cab to travel to their accommodation. 

While you, like the scores of tourists visiting Palma, want to spend as much time as possible on the boat exploring the Mediterranean, there is plenty to do and experience in the inland as well. Tourists can partake in the simple and relaxed life of the Spanish people. The holidaymakers would love the friendly attitude and hospitality of the local people that can be sampled in the many cafes and restaurants. If you love sports, the opportunity for water sports is aplenty. In addition, you can also enjoy tennis, golf, and horse riding.

All about the $40m bayesian yacht that capsized, leaving 6 dead and 1 still missing.

The massive superyacht Bayesian that sank off the coast of Italy on Monday won numerous awards for its sleek interior design — and was sold to its original owner for nearly $40 million.

The luxury sailing ship was carrying 22 people when it capsized and sank during a fierce storm early Monday.

The bodies of five of six missing passengers, including British tech tycoon Mike Lynch , 69, have been recovered. His daughter, 18-year-old Hannah, is the only one of six known killed in the tragedy yet to be found, a source close to the rescue operation told Reuters.

The ship’s chef, Recaldo Thomas, has also been confirmed dead.

Divers continued searching the wreckage of the 184-foot-long, British-flagged vessel, previously called Salute, on Wednesday after discovering four of the bodies.

When it was built in 2008, the Bayesian had the tallest aluminum mast in the world, standing at 237 feet, earning it the award for best exterior styling at the World Superyacht Awards in 2009, the Telegraph reported.

The sprawling superyacht’s interior, decorated with sleek, minimalist furnishings created by Remi Tessier, has also won numerous awards.

The ship, which accommodated 12 guests, had a master bedroom and three double and two twin bedrooms.

It also featured beige sofas, dark wood furnishings, and a teak deck equipped with a large canvas awning to keep guests cool, according to the outlet.

Some of the ship’s styling, including thin brown pillars and miniature terra cotta sculptures, was inspired by Japanese culture.

What to know after a tornado sank the yacht Bayesian off the coast of Sicily:

• A superyacht capsized off the coast of Sicily after a tornado hit the area early Monday, killing seven passengers.
• British tech tycoon Mike Lynch was identified as one of the bodies pulled from the wreckage. His teenage daughter, Hannah, was the final one to be recovered.
• Lynch — known as “Britain’s Bill Gates” — had invited guests from Clifford Chance, a legal firm that represented him, and Invoke Capital, his own company, on the voyage,  according to the Telegraph . 
• Security camera footage shot from 650 feet from where the  Bayesian sank Monday  shows it disappearing.
• A rare and unexpected “black swan” weather event may have led to the  Bayesian’s speedy demise , maritime experts say.

The extravagant ship won best interior at the International Superyacht Society Awards in 2008 and was also voted one of the best large sailing yachts at the 2009 World Superyacht Awards, according to the outlet.

The yacht’s original owner, John Groenewoud, a Dutch real estate developer, reportedly bought the ship for £30 million ($39 million) when it was built. In 2014, he sold the ship with an asking price of £27 million ($35 million).

The Bayesian is currently owned by Revtom, a company that listed Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, as its legal owner.

It was named after the Bayesian statistical model that helps financial investors calculate risk — the subject of Lynch’s PhD that later helped him build his empire.

The vessel, operated by yachting company Camper & Nicholsons, had twin 965hp MTU engines, which gave it a range of 3,600 nautical miles at 13 to 15 knots (14 to 17 mph).

RSB Rigging carried out rig service works on the ship with Astilleros de Mallorca, a shipyard facility in Palma, in November 2016.

The Bayesian returned in September 2020 for scheduled service works, including having its mast removed and reinstalled.

Steve Branagh, managing director of RSB Rigging, told the Telegraph: “At this time, our deepest sympathies go out to the friends and families of all those affected by this dreadful tragedy.”

Captain of Mike Lynch's yacht leaves Sicily on private jet

ROME (Reuters) - The captain of Mike Lynch's yacht flew out of Palermo on Thursday, 10 days after the British tech tycoon and six other people were killed when the vessel sank off the coast of Sicily.

James Cutfield left the Sicilian capital on a private jet, an investigative source said, adding the destination of the flight was unknown. Cutfield, a New Zealander, lives with his wife in Palma on the Spanish island of Mallorca.

Cutfield was put under investigation for manslaughter and shipwreck earlier this week and declined to answer questions from prosecutors on Tuesday.

Two other crew members were placed under investigation on Wednesday. Being investigated does not imply guilt and does not mean formal charges will follow.

Those facing investigation have no obligation to stay in Italy but have to nominate lawyers so that the authorities have a way of remaining in contact with them.

The British-flagged Bayesian, a 56-metre-long (184-foot) yacht, capsized and went down on Aug. 19 within minutes of being hit by a pre-dawn storm while anchored off northern Sicily.

The sinking has puzzled naval marine experts, who said a vessel like the Bayesian, built by Italian high-end yacht manufacturer Perini, should have withstood the storm and, in any case, should not have sunk as quickly as it did.

Mike Lynch’s wife did not want to leave the scene of the Bayesian wreck without her family, the captain of a boat near the sinking has said.

Karsten Borner, the captain of the Sir Robert Baden Powell, which helped to rescue the 15 survivors of the disaster in Sicily , told People that Angela Bacares “didn’t want to leave because her husband and her daughter were still down”.

British technology tycoon Mr Lynch and one of the daughters he has with Ms Bacares, 18-year-old Hannah, were among the seven people who were killed after his superyacht capsized and went down on 19 August within minutes of being hit by a pre-dawn storm.

The captain’s comments come as three crew members of the British-flagged vessel – captain James Cutfield, ship engineer Tim Parker Eaton and sailor Matthew Griffith – are now all under investigation for manslaughter and shipwreck .

The captain, a 51-year-old New Zealand national, “exercised his right to remain silent” as he faced questioning from Italian prosecutors for a third time on Tuesday.

Speaking of the storm, the captain reportedly said previously: “We didn’t see it coming.”

Being placed under investigation does not imply guilt and does not mean formal charges will necessarily follow.

The 56-metre-long (184-foot) yacht’s chef Recaldo Thomas, Morgan Stanley chairman Jonathan Bloomer , his wife Judith Bloomer , Clifford Chance lawyer Christopher Morvillo , and his wife Neda Morvillo, also died in the tragedy.

Former captain of Bayesian offers insights into yacht’s sinking

The swift descent of the Bayesian underwater has puzzled seafarers and nautical engineers, who say the vessel should have taken hours to fill up with enough water to sink it.

There have been suggestions that one or more portholes, windows or other openings may have been left open, or were broken or smashed by the storm, letting in water.

The yacht was capable of tilting to around 75-90 degrees, depending on whether its keel was up or down, and still revert to upright position, former captain Stephen Edwards wrote on his Linkedin profile.

He said the “Downflooding Angle”, at which water could start entering the vessel via the engine room or ventilation ducts, was 40-45 degrees, and once surpassed, would have put the yacht “in serious trouble”.

Experts have questioned if the yacht had been moored with its keel up, potentially compromising its stability, but Edwards said that under the boat’s operating rules, the keel was not required to be down while at anchor.

The keel is a fin-like stabilising structure under the hull, which can be lifted to reduce the depth of the boat in shallow waters or harbours. In the Bayesian, it could reduce the yacht’s below-water surface from around 10 to 4 metres.

Captain of mike lynch's yacht leaves sicily on private jet.

The captain of Mike Lynch's yacht flew out of Palermo on Thursday, 10 days after the British tech tycoon and six other people were killed when the vessel sank off the coast of Sicily.

James Cutfield left the Sicilian capital on a private jet, an investigative source said, adding the destination of the flight was unknown. Cutfield, a New Zealander, lives with his wife in Palma on the Spanish island of Mallorca.

Cutfield was put under investigation for manslaughter and shipwreck earlier this week and declined to answer questions from prosecutors on Tuesday.

Two other crew members were placed under investigation on Wednesday. Being investigated does not imply guilt and does not mean formal charges will follow.

Those facing investigation have no obligation to stay in Italy but have to nominate lawyers so that the authorities have a way of remaining in contact with them.

Blackbox sheds light on tragic final minutes of billionaire’s superyacht trip

It was supposed to be a summer celebration.

British tech tycoon Mike Lynch had gathered his tried and trusted lawyers who had been with him every step of the way helping him emerge unscathed from a gruelling 13-year legal battle. Twelve guests had flown into the picturesque Italian port of Porticello, near Palermo from the UK, the US, Canada , New Zealand and Ireland, to mark the end of the fraud trial that had consumed much of their lives.

But now a manslaughter investigation has been launched as Mr Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah were among the seven people who died after the vessel capsized during bad weather in the early hours of Monday morning.

Who was on the Bayesian?

British technology tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah were among the people initially unaccounted for after his superyacht Bayesian sank in a storm off the coast of Sicily in the early hours of Monday.

On Saturday morning, Italian authorities announced a manslaughter investigation had been launched into the deaths of seven people, after a five-day operation that has seen divers carefully navigating their way into the cabin bedrooms.

After a decade-long legal battle which had seen him extradited to the US to face an $11bn fraud case, Mr Lynch had celebrated by inviting his close friends, colleagues and those who helped him on his legal team aboard his boat as a gesture of gratitude.

My colleague Rachel Hagan outlines what we know about the 22 people on board:

Sinking of ‘unsinkable’ Bayesian puzzles experts

The sinking has puzzled naval marine experts, who said a vessel like the Bayesian, built by Italian high-end yacht manufacturer Perini and deemed “unsinkable”, should have withstood the storm – and, in any case, should not have sunk as quickly as it did. Meanwhile, a nearby sailing boat remained largely unscathed.

Prosecutors in the town of Termini Imerese, near Palermo, said the event was “extremely rapid” and could have been a “downburst” – a localised, powerful wind, which descends from a thunderstorm and spreads out rapidly upon hitting the ground.

They added that their investigation would take time and would require the wreck of the Bayesian – which is lying on its right side, at a depth of around 50 metres (164 feet) – to be salvaged from the sea.

Chief prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio, who is heading the investigation, has said his team would consider each possible element of responsibility including those of the captain, the crew, individuals in charge of supervision and the yacht’s manufacturer.

Full story: Two more crew members under investigation over sinking of superyacht Bayesian

Two more crew members from the Bayesian are under investigation for manslaughter after seven people were killed when the superyacht sank in a storm off Sicily last week.

A judicial source said on Wednesday that Italian prosecutors are probing two more crew members in connection with the vessel’s sinking , along with its captain, after the British-flagged Bayesian capsized on 19 August while anchored off northern Sicily.

British technology tycoon Mike Lynch, his 19-year-old daughter Hannah Lynch, and five other people died when his 56-metre-long (184-foot) yacht went down within minutes of being hit by the pre-dawn tornado near the Sicilian capital of Palermo.

Members of yachting community signal support for captain and crew of Bayesian as some under investigation

Members of the yachting community have signalled their support for the captain and crew of the Bayesian as some have been placed under investigation.

One wrote on social media: “Now we need those keyboard warriors and judgemental ‘know it alls’ to actually wait and listen to the unbiased actual professionals ...

“I still stand in support of all Bayesian crew and if things turn sour, I propose all my friends in yachting to stand together and sign a strong petition to support the remaining survived crew to Bayesian.”

Crew member under investigation over Bayesian sinking leaves Palermo, says source

A crew member who has been placed under investigation for manslaughter and shipwreck in connection with the sinking of the Bayesian has now left Palermo, according to a source.

Sailor Matthew Griffith was on watch duty on the night the superyacht sank in Sicily, the source said.

He flew out of Palermo late on Wednesday, with the source saying he was heading for the French city of Nice.

Those under investigation have no obligation to stay in Italy but have to nominate lawyers so that the authorities have a way of remaining in contact with them.

The boat's 51-year-old captain James Cutfield, a New Zealander, and ship engineer Tim Parker Eaton have both been put under investigation for the same crimes.

Besuch in den "Horrorwohnungen" in Palma: Jetzt fehlt auch noch der Strom

Der eigentümer – ein beamter der ortspolizei – verlangte teils hohe summen für bruchbuden in katastrophalem zustand. nun wurde den bewohnern auch noch der strom abgestellt – aus rache, vermuten sie.

Die Zustände in den "Horrorwohnungen" in Palma, die ein Beamter der Ortspolizei an Einwanderer ohne Aufenthaltsgenehmigung vermietet , scheinen sich immer weiter zu verschlechtern. Und das, obwohl – oder gerade weil – der Polizist vor wenigen Monaten eine saftige Geldstrafe aufgebrummt bekam, nachdem publik wurde, zu welch menschenunwürdigen Bedingungen er die Menschen in den 73 Wohngelegenheiten – zumeist Kellerräumen und Lagerhallen ohne Fenster – gegen Geld hausen lässt. Jetzt soll er den Menschen auch noch den Strom abgestellt haben . Die MZ-Schwesterzeitung "Diario de Mallorca" war vor Ort, um sich die katastrophalen Zustände anzusehen.

Während die Mieter in der Dunkelheit der Notunterkünfte in der Avenida Joan Miró im Viertel Gomila umhertappen, beschwert sich ein mürrischer Mann über den Stromausfall. Seit mehr als 72 Stunden sei der Strom in diesem Moment bereits weg, im gesamten Gebäude, in allen Etagen, schimpft der Mann. „Er lebt seit etwa zehn Jahren hier“, sagt Davinson Gil in Richtung des Mannes und geht weiter durch die dunklen Räume, während er seine Geschichte erzählt. Als Gil nach Palma kam, habe man ihm von einem Polizisten erzählt, der Zimmer vermietet. Er habe sich mit dem Besitzer in Verbindung gesetzt, doch der Polizist habe ihn das Zimmer nicht ohne vorherige Zahlung besichtigen lassen . „Ich habe eine Kaution von 200 Euro bezahlt, zusätzlich zu den 350 Euro für die monatliche Miete. Er hat mich praktisch gezwungen, zu bleiben “, erklärt Gil.

Tod wegen fehlender Belüftung?

Auch die anderen Bewohner, darunter Babys und Menschen mit Behinderungen , fühlen sich durch die prekäre Situation dem Ersticken nah. Sie sind sich sicher: Es war der Eigentümer dieser illegalen Lagerräume, der den Strom abgestellt habe, "um uns rauszuwerfen“, nachdem er die Geldstrafe erhalten hatte. Aktuell wartet der Besitzer der Lagerräume darauf, dass er sich wegen möglicher weiterer Straftaten vor Gericht verantworten muss. Von seinem Job als Ortspolizist ist er zwei Jahre und vier Monate lang suspendiert.

Nun also der Stromausfall. Beleuchtung und Belüftung existieren nicht mehr. Und das habe in den schimmeligen, fensterlosen Kammern teils fatale Folgen. So erzählt Davinson Gil vom Tod eines Nachbarn: „Es war ein älterer Herr, und er starb vor ein paar Monaten wegen der fehlenden Ventilation .“ Der Geruch, den seine Leiche verströmte, sei unerträglich gewesen. Acht Tage später sei sein lebloser Körper schließlich entdeckt worden. Jetzt ist das Zimmer direkt neben dem von Gil zugemauert. Nichts deutet darauf hin, dass hier noch vor kurzem jemand lebte und starb.

Feuchtigkeit und Hitze

Der Strom fiel nachts aus. In den Baracken vermutet man, dass der Eigentümer das Stromunternehmen angerufen hat, um den Strom abzustellen. Es gibt eine einstweilige Verfügung, die den ehemaligen Polizisten daran hindert, sich den Mietern zu nähern. Doch zuvor sei er mehrmals mit aggressiver Haltung aufgetaucht. „Er kam und drohte uns, die Klimaanlagen abzuschalten“, sagt Gil. Jetzt, nach dem Stromausfall, können sie nicht einmal einen Ventilator anschließen. „Alles ist in sehr schlechtem Zustand, und die Hitze ist unerträglich “, fügt er hinzu.

Vor seinem Zimmer gibt es einen großen Feuchtigkeitsfleck, der von der oberen Etage kommt. Tiefschwarze Muster ziehen sich über die baufällige Decke. Beim Betreten seines Zimmers ist der Geruch fast unerträglich. Es ist etwa fünf Quadratmeter groß. Immerhin: Auf diesen fünf Quadratmeter lebt Gil allein.

550 Euro für weniger als fünf Quadratmeter

Andrés Repetero hingegen teilt sich mit seiner Partnerin und seiner Tochter einen noch kleineren Raum. „ In einigen Zimmern leben mehr als fünf oder sechs Personen “, erwähnt er. Morgens arbeitet er und seine Frau kümmert sich um das kleine Kind. Repetero erklärt, dass er aufgehört habe, die 550 Euro monatlich zu zahlen, die der Besitzer verlangt. Die Preise variierten je nach Anzahl der Personen, die in den vom Polizisten vermieteten Zimmern wohnen. Einige Familien zahlten weiterhin zwischen 450 und 600 Euro für den Lagerraum.

Auch eine Küche gibt es im Labyrinth des unteren Blocks der Notunterkünfte nicht. Nur eine Gasflasche, die als improvisierte Küche für alle herhält. Die Familien wechseln sich ab, um zu Mittag und zu Abend zu essen. Eine Mutter füttert ihr Baby, das kaum ein Jahr alt ist, während Gil sich daran erinnert, dass er vor ein paar Tagen erst um 21 Uhr Mittag essen konnte, so lang sei die Schlange um die provisorische Küche gewesen.

Keine Alternativen

Die Mehrheit der 53 Personen, die in den Notunterkünften im Stadtviertel Gomila leben, befindet sich seit etwa einem Jahr in dieser Situation. Sie suchen nach Alternativen, finden aber keine. Am Eingang, in einem kleinen Innenhof, verbringen sie fast den ganzen Tag und die ganze Nacht bis in die frühen Morgenstunden, wenn die Hitze nachlässt und sie schlafen gehen können. Dort erinnern sie sich, dass sie vor fünf Monaten zu einer Stadtratssitzung in Palma gingen und ein Beamter erschien, um die Situation der Zimmer zu überprüfen. „Man sagte uns, dass man uns helfen würde. Aber wir haben nie wieder etwas gehört“, klagen sie.

María Eugenía Zapata will raus hier - wie so viele andere der Bewohner . „Wir brauchen Hilfe, um zu wissen, wen und wie wir anzeigen sollen“, bittet sie. Sie erklärt, dass die Nachbarn gemeinsam einen Tank für Abwasser gekauft hätten. „Aber der funktioniert auch nicht, wegen des Stromausfalls“, betont sie. "Wir wollen weg, aber wir können nicht", erklärt sie auf einer Treppe sitzend und umgeben von Kindern und Jugendlichen. „Um Zugang zu einer Wohnung zu bekommen, verlangt man von uns zwei Gehaltsabrechnungen, eine Vorauszahlung, und mit Kindern ist es noch komplizierter“, beklagt sie. Abgesehen davon, dass es in Palma aktuell so gut wie keinen freien Wohnraum gibt, der zur Miete frei wird. Dabei sind Zapatas Ansprüche nicht hoch. „Wir möchten nur, dass unsere Kinder irgendwann das Licht der Sonne sehen können."

Mallorca: Nach tödlichem Yacht-Unglück – Identität von deutschem Millionärs-Sohn steht fest

Das tödliche Unglück, bei dem eine deutsche Yacht beteiligt war, hält Mallorca weiterhin in Schach. Jetzt erzählt ein Augenzeuge Schock-Details.

Mallorca: Augenzeugen-Video zeigt, wie Skipper beinahe Boot rammt

Was sich zugetragen hat, welche schockierenden Beobachtungen der Zeuge gemacht hat und welche Identität der deutsche Millionärs-Sohn hat, liest du hier bei uns.

Mallorca: Skipper wirkte stark alkoholisiert

Glücklicherweise wurde bei der gefährlichen Aktion niemand verletzt – trotzdem saß der Schock tief.

+++ Urlaub auf Mallorca endet für Mutter und Tochter im finanziellen Desaster – „Konnte ich nicht bezahlen“ +++

C.B. stelle daraufhin den Skipper zur Rede, näherte sich dem Boot, bis nur noch rund fünf Meter Abstand zwischen ihm und dem Schiffsführer war. „Er konnte nicht mal geradeaus reden oder gerade aus schauen“, berichtet C.B. gegenüber unserem Reporter. Er beschrieb den Skipper als rund 185 Zentimeter groß, brünett-blond, sportlich und typisch deutsch gebräunt. Mit auf der Yacht seien zudem zwei weitere Männer, die C.B. alle auf die rund 35 Jahre schätzt, sowie drei bis vier Frauen um die 25 Jahre alt. Auf der Party lief Ballermann-Musik, die die Bucht beschallte.

„Die waren so betrunken“

Immer wieder sei der Skipper in dem kleinen Beiboot mit beinahe waghalsigen Manövern über das Wasser gebrettert. „Der ist wie Kamikaze in der Bucht gefahren“, erzählt C.B. schockiert. Einmal sei auch eine Frau mit auf dem Beiboot gewesen, die bei der irren Fahrt sogar in Tränen ausgebrochen sei. C.B. vermutet, dass aufgrund des aggressiven Fahrstils an dem Abend nicht nur Unmengen an Alkohol, sondern auch aufputschende Drogen im Spiel gewesen seien. Zudem sei die Nebelmaschine auf der Yacht im Dauereinsatz gewesen.

„Die waren so betrunken, dass ich nie im Leben gedacht hätte, dass die nochmal den Anker lichten“, erzählt C.B. ungläubig, zudem war es schon relativ dunkel. Gegen 21.45 Uhr passierte dann das tödliche Unglück bei Calla Bona. Die Yacht rammte ein kleines Fischerboot, auf dem der 20-Jährige Guillem Comamala mit seinen zwei Familienmitgliedern zum Tintenfisch-Angeln herausgefahren war. Onkel und Bruder mussten mit ansehen, wie der junge Mann noch vor Ort verstarb.

Mallorca-Drama: Identität geklärt

Bei dem Angeklagten soll es sich um Dennis Viehof handeln. Er sei am Mittwoch (28. August) vor den Behörden in Palma de Mallorca erschienen – gemeinsam mit seinem Anwalt Fernando Mateas. Dort habe er von seinem Aussageverweigerungsrecht Gebrauch gemacht, so schreibt es die mallorquinische Zeitung “El Diario de Mallorca”. Die Familie Viehof stammt aus Köln in NRW.

Captain of Mike Lynch’s yacht leaves Sicily on private jet

ROME (Reuters) – The captain of Mike Lynch’s yacht flew out of Palermo on Thursday, 10 days after the British tech tycoon and six other people were killed when the vessel sank off the coast of Sicily.

James Cutfield left the Sicilian capital on a private jet, an investigative source said, adding the destination of the flight was unknown. Cutfield, a New Zealander, lives with his wife in Palma on the Spanish island of Mallorca.

Cutfield was put under investigation for manslaughter and shipwreck earlier this week and declined to answer questions from prosecutors on Tuesday.

Two other crew members were placed under investigation on Wednesday. Being investigated does not imply guilt and does not mean formal charges will follow.

Those facing investigation have no obligation to stay in Italy but have to nominate lawyers so that the authorities have a way of remaining in contact with them.

The British-flagged Bayesian, a 56-metre-long (184-foot) yacht, capsized and went down on Aug. 19 within minutes of being hit by a pre-dawn storm while anchored off northern Sicily.

The sinking has puzzled naval marine experts, who said a vessel like the Bayesian, built by Italian high-end yacht manufacturer Perini, should have withstood the storm and, in any case, should not have sunk as quickly as it did.
