Private Fishing Charter Mallorca

A private Big Game & Trolling charter in Mallorca is interesting because you are not just paying for time on the water. You are paying for a full day built around chasing large pelagic fish, with a captain running the show and electronics meant to find where the action is.

I like two things a lot. First, the boat, a 38-foot Bertram, has serious navigation and fishing tools like GPS, fish finder, sonar, and radar. Second, the experience feels genuinely personal, with pickup from C’an Picafort and Alcudia and a private group setup.

The main drawback to keep in mind is simple: big fish can be hard. Even with the best trolling plan and the right spots, you might still end up with a day where the fish just do not cooperate.

Key highlights

• 38-foot Bertram with GPS, fish finder, sonar, and radar for better on-water decisions
• Captain Martin runs the big-game trolling style fishing
• Private charter with space to fish from the fly bridge and covered deck
• Fishing or snorkeling equipment included, so your day is flexible
• Pickup and drop-off in C’an Picafort and Alcudia, with meeting at Club Nautic C’an Picafort
• 7-hour deep-sea outing heading east of Mallorca for tuna and other big-game targets

Big Game Trolling From Mallorca’s North Coast

This charter starts in C’an Picafort at Club Nautic C’an Picafort, with pickup and drop-off also offered in Alcudia. That matters because it saves you from coordinating your own transport to the marina and reduces the “hurry up and wait” feeling that can hit boat days.

You’ll spend 7 hours on the water in the Mediterranean, heading east of Mallorca. The day is built around fishing for large specimens like tuna, Mediterranean marlin, and dorados, but you are also not locked into a one-track script. If conditions allow, you can enjoy a bit of scenery while you’re out there, especially between active fishing moves.

This is also a good format if you want calm control. It’s a private group, so your crew can tailor the pace to your comfort level and the way your group wants to fish, rather than juggling a mixed crowd.

Your 38-Foot Bertram: Electronics and Space That Actually Help

A lot of “fishing days” are basically a boat ride plus a rod. Here, the boat setup is clearly made for serious time on the water.

The charter uses a 38-foot Bertram with electronics including GPS, a fish finder, sonar, and radar. In plain terms, those tools help the captain make smarter calls about where to run trolling lines and where to focus effort. You might not be staring at the screens all day, but having that equipment on board often translates into more purposeful fishing time.

On top of that, the boat layout helps you get comfortable and stay productive. There’s a luxurious interior with a kitchen and a multimedia system, so you’re not stuck living in the sun if the weather changes. Seating is plentiful, and the fly bridge can comfortably handle your whole group. Add a covered deck, and you get shade and protection when the glare or wind gets old.

This is where I think the experience has real value for groups. If you have four people fishing at once, you want enough room to move, cast lines, and stay balanced on a boat. Space is not a luxury here, it’s part of the quality of the day.

The 7-Hour Rhythm: What a Full Day Feels Like

The timing is simple: you’re out for a single, focused 7-hour excursion. That’s long enough to reach good offshore conditions, run trolling properly, and still have time to reset if fishing shifts.

You’ll depart from the C’an Picafort area and head east of Mallorca. The exact rhythm will depend on sea conditions and where the fish are, but here’s the pattern you should expect on a trolling-focused charter:

1) Get settled and briefed: Your captain and crew get you ready for how the day will run, including what lines and gear you’ll use.

2) Move to fishing areas: This is where electronics matter most, because you are hunting for the best chances at tuna and other targets.

3) Active trolling sessions: The captain, including Martin for the trolling style fishing, works the plan while you fish.

4) Downtime and switch-ups: If you want a break from constant fishing, the included snorkeling gear lets you switch modes when conditions are right.

5) Return and wrap-up: You come back by the end of the 7 hours, with pickup/drop-off provided.

The father-and-son crew dynamic also affects the feel of the day. When the people on board are clearly passionate about fishing, the whole experience tends to move from stressful to enjoyable, even when bites are slow.

Fishing for Tuna, Marlin, and Dorados: Expectations That Save Your Mood

The promise here is big-game and trolling fishing aimed at large specimens. That is exciting, but I recommend you plan emotionally for a range of outcomes.

Here’s the reality you should carry with you: big fish are not vending machines. Even with a boat that has radar, sonar, and a fish finder, you can still have a day with fewer bites. And that is exactly why a private charter matters. When it’s just your group, you can stay patient, talk through options with the captain, and keep the day enjoyable even if the action is slower than you hoped.

Still, what you are paying for is the effort and decision-making behind the scenes. The charter is designed around finding places to target huge tuna and other big-game species, not just casting near shore.

If you are a true fishing enthusiast, you’ll probably appreciate that this is trophy-oriented. The captain is running a trolling approach, not a casual “line out whenever” plan. That makes the day feel more like a hunt than a pastime.

Food, Drinks, and Snorkeling Gear Included

A day on a charter can be either exhausting or easy, and food is a big part of the difference. This experience includes a typical meal and drinks. That’s not just comfort. It helps you keep your energy up so you can stay focused during the trolling sessions.

You also get equipment for fishing or snorkeling. That’s useful if your group includes different kinds of guests. Some people want to stay on the rods the whole day, while others might want a break and switch to snorkeling when there’s a calm window.

A practical tip: ask the crew early how they handle the gear during the day. On boats, things like where you store equipment and how quickly you can switch roles can make the difference between a smooth day and a frustrating one.

Price Per Group: Does $1,589 Make Sense?

The price is $1,589 per group up to 10. On paper, that can look pricey, until you think in terms of what a private charter actually includes: a full day on a proper fishing boat, electronics, a crew running trolling, and meals plus drinks.

If you fill the group close to the 10-person limit, the per-person cost becomes far more reasonable than if it’s just two or three people. In other words, this is at its best when you have a ready-made group of fishing friends or a family chunk that wants a shared day on the water.

Also consider what’s included beyond fishing gear. You get pickup and drop-off in C’an Picafort and Alcudia, which reduces your planning hassle. And the boat’s setup, with indoor comfort and plenty of deck space, means you are not sacrificing comfort to chase fish.

My bottom line: if you’re serious about the fishing format and you can bring enough people to spread the cost, this is competitive for a true private big-game charter day.

Who This Mallorca Charter Suits Best

This is a strong match for:

• True fishing enthusiasts who want big-game trolling, not casual angling
• Small groups or families who want privacy and enough space for everyone to participate
• People who like comfort between fishing efforts, since the interior and shaded deck areas matter
• Groups with mixed preferences, because snorkeling equipment is included as an alternative activity

It may not be the best fit if your main goal is guarantee-level fishing success. Big-game fishing depends on fish behavior and conditions, and no captain can force a bite.

Also, if you are sensitive to boat movement, you’ll want to plan for comfort. The deck arrangement helps, but you’re still on open water for a full 7 hours.

What You’ll Learn From the Crew, Not Just the Fish

One of the underrated parts of this kind of charter is the human side. The crew approach here tends to feel friendly and genuinely helpful, and that shows up in the way the day is run. You’re not left guessing what to do next.

You’ll likely pick up practical, on-the-spot fishing knowledge: how trolling works, how the captain reads conditions, and how to keep gear and posture consistent during active fishing. Even if you are experienced, that captain-led guidance is often what turns a good day into a great one.

And if bites are slow, a good crew helps you stay in the moment. That matters more than people think before they go.

Should You Book This Private Fishing Charter in Mallorca?

Book it if you want a private, trolling-focused big-game day with a proper boat, serious electronics, and crew that keeps the experience enjoyable even when the fishing pace is unpredictable. Bring enough people to make the group price feel fair, and you’ll get more out of the day.

Skip this style of charter if you want shore-like simplicity, fixed guarantees of catching fish, or you only care about the cheapest way to be on a boat. This is about the hunt and the boat experience, not a guaranteed trophy in every session.

If you fit the first group, you’ll likely appreciate the combination of comfort, space, and a captain-led fishing plan built for tuna and big-game targets.
