About this tour
Sail the rugged northern coast of Menorca aboard a nimble catamaran, exploring stretches of coastline most visitors never reach. This half-day voyage takes you into the North Marine Reserve, where steep cliffs and hidden coves reward those who venture by water. You'll have breathing room on deck, a chance to steer if you fancy it, and snorkel gear ready for clear shallow waters. Drinks and snacks keep you fuelled; the whole outing runs three and a half hours from the port at Fornells.
Highlights
- Steer the catamaran with the skipper's guidance
- Snorkel in protected marine reserve waters
- Remote northern cliffs inaccessible by land
- Small-group sailing without cruise-ship crowds
- Drinks and light snacks included
- Quiet, emission-free sailing experience
What to expect
You'll board a twin-hulled catamaran built for comfort rather than volume—expect proper deck space and shade rather than shoulder-to-shoulder seating. The skipper navigates you north into waters where steep limestone faces drop straight into the sea and coves remain largely undisturbed. There's time for a proper swim and snorkel stop in clear shallow water; the equipment is provided. Throughout you'll have cold drinks and snacks on hand. The whole rhythm is gentle: sailing, swimming, sailing back. You're not being herded; you're being shown a corner of Menorca that requires a boat to reach properly.
Good to know
Bring high-factor sunscreen—three hours of Mediterranean sun reflects hard off water. Wear a swimsuit under your clothes. Flip-flops are easiest to slip on and off the boat. Public transport reaches Fornells, though it's a small port; check schedules ahead. Suitable for all fitness levels; the boat does the work.
