Who this yacht suits
B89 is not a generic inventory pick. It is a better match when the client wants full-scale superyacht presence with formal service and serious deck space, a larger group day where deck flow matters, and a route shaped around Mallorca, Cabrera, and Port Andratx.
Local route logic
The local decision is less about distance and more about timing. Around Mediterranean and Ibiza, B89 should be planned with boarding point, lunch stop, swim time, and return window in one brief. In practice, treat Formentera as a weather and crossing decision, not only a photo stop.
Planning window
May to October, with July and August best handled through early routing and clear guest plans. For this yacht, confirm preferred dates, guest count, cabin needs, and cruising area together so the quote reflects the real plan. the final choice should account for weather, berth pressure, and how the group wants to spend time on board.
Guest experience
For guests, the difference is felt in pace: where people sit, how lunch is handled, where swimming fits, and how the return feels. B89 should be evaluated against that rhythm, not only against specs.
Shortlist logic
B89 should be compared against at least one alternative if the brief is flexible. The useful difference may be cabin layout, crew style, speed, toys, berth access, or how naturally the yacht fits Mediterranean and Ibiza.
Broker caveat
Ask the broker to state the limitation as plainly as the advantage. For B89, the check should cover availability, owner approval where relevant, cruising area, APA, fuel, and whether the planned route still works in real weather.
