Who KIAWAH II suits
KIAWAH II accommodates 10 guests across 4 cabins, looked after by a crew of 4. Measuring 30 m and benefiting from a 2025 refit, this Astondoa Shipyard motor yacht suits family gatherings or groups of friends eager to spend relaxed days together. Guests can unwind on the sun deck, relax on comfortable sun pads, or explore quiet bays using the onboard paddleboards and kayaks.
When measured against similar yachts listed in the Balearic Islands, she is longer in length while accommodating the same number of guests. Having entered service in 2001, her build year makes her older than comparable alternatives in the region, yet her weekly rate remains similar to other choices on the local market.
Listed for charters across Spain, the Balearic Islands, and the West Mediterranean, she maintains availability throughout both summer and winter. The cruising season runs between May and October, with July and August providing warm sunshine, calm seas, and bustling anchorages. For clients who favour quieter coves and reduced maritime traffic alongside comfortable weather and pleasant sea temperatures, May, June, September, and October provide the best time to step aboard.

Cruising the Balearic Islands: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The charter season runs from May to October. July and August bring warm temperatures, calm seas, and high demand with crowded anchorages. May, June, September, and October offer comfortable weather, warm sea temperatures, and significantly reduced maritime traffic. Predominant summer winds are light to moderate thermal breezes, though the northern coasts can experience the strong northerly Tramontana, particularly around Menorca and northern Mallorca.
Practical tips
- Palma's marinas are about 15 minutes from Palma airport; Ibiza Town's marinas are about 15 minutes from Ibiza airport. Menorca is served by Menorca airport (MAH).
- Anchoring on protected Posidonia oceanica seagrass is strictly illegal across the archipelago, with spot inspections and heavy fines enforced by maritime patrols.
- Visiting the Cabrera National Park requires securing a cruising permit and an allocated mooring buoy well in advance, as anchoring is entirely prohibited.
Anchorages to know
- Cala Saona (Formentera)A wide, sandy bay on Formentera's west coast providing turquoise water, good holding, and reliable protection from easterly winds.
- Cabrera Archipelago National ParkAn uninhabited island reserve south of Mallorca offering strictly managed buoy-only moorings within a deep, well-sheltered natural harbour.
- Cala Macarella (Menorca)A deep, pine-fringed inlet on Menorca's south coast with clear water, a sandy seabed, and good shelter from northerly breezes.
- Port de Sóller (Mallorca)A horseshoe-shaped natural harbour on Mallorca's rugged northwest coast, offering marina berths and sheltered anchoring beneath the Serra de Tramuntana.
