Why hire a skipper
When is it worth paying the boss
If you have a nautical qualification and solid experience, take it bareboat. But if you fit into any of these situations, the €1,500 from the employer will pay for itself.
🎓
You do not have a nautical qualification
Without a nautical license you cannot legally operate the boat. The skipper is the way to rent a real sailboat or catamaran and live the complete experience without worrying about navigation.
👨👩👧
You go with a family with small children
You want to keep an eye on the kids without having to keep an eye on the helm. The skipper takes care of the anchoring maneuvers, the engine and the weather while you experience the journey.
🍷
It is a celebration or event
Farewells, birthdays, company events. You want to drink, eat and socialize. Ideal for a farewell on boat or a company event.
🗺️
You don't know the Balearic Islands
The skipper takes you to the coves that only locals know how to anchor, recommends restaurants on the coast, shows you the corners of Cabrera.
🌬️
Are you worried about the weather?
A Mistral blow, a change of wind, a dry summer storm — these are situations that a professional skipper handles calmly.
⛵
Do you want to learn to navigate?
Some clients hire a skipper to use as an "informal instructor" during the week. See also sailing classes and courses.
How it works
Charter with skipper — in 4 steps
01
You choose boat and dates
Sailboat or catamaran. Brands you need pattern. Reserve with 50% of the total price (boat + skipper).
02

03

04
A week sailing
You decide the points of the day and the pattern maneuvers. Return to Palma the following Saturday at 09:00.
Pattern price
How much does the professional pattern cost?
Fixed cost of the employer + meals as a shared expense. No hidden extras.
How the total cost is calculated: price of the boat (€2,400–€11,500/week) + skipper (€1,500 sailing / €1,800 tasting) + skipper's meals (shared group expense) + mandatory costs (cleaning €190–€240, gas €25).
Frequently asked questions
What we are asked most about renting with a skipper
How much does the 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 price of the boat).
Additional: skipper's meals on board, which are managed as a shared expense (typically €25–35/day per person in supermarket).
Do I need to have nautical experience if I go with a skipper?
No. The skipper is in charge of 100% of the navigation: maneuvers, anchoring, meteorology, boat systems. You go as a passenger — no qualifications, nautical resume, or previous experience are required.
Who are the skippers of ECC Yacht?
Professional qualified skippers (Yacht Captain, Professional Skipper or equivalent) with civil liability insurance. Most are sailors with many seasons in the Balearic Islands — some have been with us for more than a decade. Everyone speaks Spanish and English.
Can I choose a specific pattern?
If you have sailed with us before, please say so when booking and we will do our best to match you again (subject to availability). For new clients, we assign the skipper that best fits the date and type of boat.
Does the skipper sleep on board? What about privacy?
Yes, on weekly charters the skipper sleeps on board. Some ships have pattern room in the bow (Cotufa, Tizón); In others, the boss occupies one of the cabins. The privacy of the group is always respected — the skipper moves discreetly.
Can I participate in sailing if I wish?
Of course. Many skippered clients enjoy participating: steering the helm in open water, helping with ropes, raising and lowering sails. The pattern is flexible.
For what type of outputs does the pattern make the most sense?
Especially recommended for: goodbyes, company events, boat dinners, sunsets, families with children, anniversary trips.
How does the boat tank work?
When you sail with a skipper, the deposit is always retained by the professional skipper, so the client's risk is minimal. So that everything is transparent, at check-in we record videos and photos of the state of the boat — including the hull underwater with an underwater camera. Those files are shared with you the same day.
We also ask that you calmly inspect the boat upon arrival and record your own videos and photos of any existing damage. Honest communication and visual documentation from the first minute saves us from misunderstandings when returning and speeds up the release of the deposit.
