Tesoro 40Spanish walkaround day boat charter in Mallorca

From the Spanish yard Tesoro, the 40 is a walkaround day cruiser: a long, slim hull of 12.36 metres with a 3.68 metre beam, generous side passages that let guests walk forward to the bow, and a carbon T-top over the helm. In the water she looks lean and purposeful, a white hull with tall, clean sides free of portholes and very little to interrupt her lines. Nothing about her is fussy, and that is much of her charm.

This is a boat that likes to move. A cruising speed of 25 knots and a top speed of 40 knots turn a day into a string of stops rather than a single anchorage: an early swim in the south-east calas, lunch in a quiet inlet, and a run out to Cabrera when the national park permit and the weather allow. The ride is lively, the open layout keeps everyone together, and the skipper sets the pace to suit the group, from a brisk passage along the coast to a slow drift beneath the cliffs. With just a skipper on board, the day stays relaxed and informal, and she feels like a private launch for your group.

Her deck is planned around the sun and the sea. In the bow, a sunpad sits raised above the cabin, with padded sides that double as backrests. Aft, the sunpad cushions double as seating for the cockpit table, and an outdoor galley is built into the central bar beside the helm. A wide, long swim platform at the stern makes it easy to slip into the water with the paddle board or snorkelling gear. Below deck, two cabins and one head offer shade and a place to change. She is a day boat at heart, offered for full days and sunset runs arranged from Mallorca. The team confirms her berth when you book, and a longer hire can be talked through with them.
