The companies Iris Yachtcharter and Moonshine Sailing are combining their fleets from Holland and the Balearic Islands at a new base in Arenal

Iris Sailing has been on the market as a new operator with a Bavaria fleet in Palma since 2016 and is now relocating the ships of its sister company MoonShine in the Netherlands to the Balearic Islands. The new base is located in the Club Nautic of Arenal on the east side of the Bay of Palma. At the start of the season, Iris now has 12 Bavarias, mostly built in 2014, from 33 to 56 feet, and a Lagoon 400 catamaran in its programme.

"We are delighted to be able to offer our customers not only top-maintained yachts and the usual first-class service, but also an ideal starting point for their cruises on the Balearic Islands. The club's own pool, which is included for charter guests, and the nearby sandy beaches, bars and restaurants make for a holiday feeling from the very first minute," says Matthias Büchting, managing director and owner of Iris Yachtcharter.

The new office is located in the clubhouse of Club Nautico Arenal directly opposite reception. The offer for 2017 now also includes stand-up paddleboards, snorkelling equipment and a delivery service for on-board catering. Iris Yachtcharter attaches great importance to being a Yacht Pool-approved company that secures customer advance payments with a security certificate. In addition, in the low season, the yachts are also available by arrangement on handover days other than the classic Saturday.

Information and booking directly with Iris Yachtcharter (Tel.: 0228/935 94 00) and with the agency also authorised to issue guarantee vouchers MoonShine Sailing but also with other common charter agencies.
