Why hire a boss
When is it worth paying the boss
If you have a nautical qualification and solid experience, go for the bareboat charter. But if you fall into any of these categories, the €1,500 skipper fee pays for itself.
🎓
You do not have a nautical qualification
Without a boating license, you can't legally operate a boat. Hiring a skipper is the only way to rent a real sailboat or catamaran and enjoy the full experience without having to worry about navigation.
👨👩👧
You're going with a family with young children.
You want to keep an eye on the children without having to worry about the helm. The skipper takes care of anchoring, the engine, and the weather while you enjoy the voyage.
🍷
It is a celebration or event
Bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthdays, corporate events. Want to drink, eat, and socialize? Ideal for a farewell on a boat or a corporate event.
🗺️
You don't know the Balearic Islands
The skipper takes you to coves where only locals know how to anchor, recommends coastal restaurants, and shows you the hidden corners of Cabrera.
🌬️
Are you worried about the weather?
A Mistral gust, a change in wind, a dry summer storm — these are situations that a professional skipper handles calmly.
⛵
Do you want to learn how to sail?
Some clients hire Patron to use as an "informal instructor" during the week. See also clases y cursos de vela.

Preguntas frecuentes
The most frequently asked questions about renting with a boss
How much does a professional skipper cost in Mallorca?
The pattern costs €1,500/week on any of our 15 sailboats and €1,800/week On the Ky Dong catamaran (Lagoon 43). On the Machango catamaran (Lagoon 46) the skipper is mandatory and is separate (€1,800/week, not included in the boat price).
Additional: meals provided by the skipper on board, which are managed as a shared expense (typically €25–35/day per person at the supermarket).
Do I need nautical experience if I'm going with a skipper?
No. The skipper is in charge of navigation: maneuvers, anchoring, weather, and the boat's systems. You're going as a passenger—no qualifications, nautical resume, or prior experience are required.
Who are the owners of ECC Yacht?
Professionally certified skippers (Yacht Captain, Professional Skipper or equivalent) with liability insurance. Most are sailors with many seasons in the Balearic Islands — Some have been with us for over a decade. They all speak Spanish and English.
Can I choose a specific pattern?
If you've sailed with us before, please mention it when booking and we'll do our best to assign you again (subject to availability). For new customers, we assign the skipper best suited to the date and boat type.
Does the captain sleep on board? What about privacy?
Yes, on weekly charters the skipper sleeps on board. Some boats have master's quarters In the bow (Cotufa, Tizón); in others, the skipper occupies one of the cabins. The privacy of the group is always respected — the skipper moves discreetly.
Can I participate in the sailing if I wish?
Of course. Many skippered clients enjoy participating: steering in open water, helping with lines, and raising and lowering sails. The skipper is flexible.
For what type of departures does the pattern make the most sense?
Especially recommended for: farewells, corporate events, dinners on a boat, sunsets, Families with children, anniversary trips.
How does the ship's fuel tank work?
When you sail with a skipper, the deposit is always held by the professional skipper, so the client's risk is minimal. For complete transparency, at check-in We recorded videos and photos of the ship's condition — including the hull underwater with an underwater camera. Those files are shared with you on the same day.
We also ask that you thoroughly inspect the boat upon arrival and record your own videos and photos of any existing damage. Honest communication and visual documentation from the very beginning will prevent misunderstandings during the return process and expedite the release of your deposit.
