About this tour
Sail Menorca's southern coast aboard an intimate 8-metre wooden boat with a skipper who reads the waters like a map. This two-hour private charter skips the crowded pontoons and delivers you to four of the island's most striking coves — Macarella, Macarelleta, Turqueta, and Mitjana — each with crystalline anchorages perfect for a mask and fins. Fuel, snorkelling kit, and refreshments included. Designed for travellers who'd rather see properly than spend half the day queuing.
Highlights
- Private boat, no strangers, no cattle-call schedules
- Four storied coves in two hours, skippered by a local
- Snorkel in turquoise shallows, gear supplied
- Onboard toilet, drinks, and light provisions
- Compact enough to reach smaller anchorages other boats skip
What to expect
You'll board at a modest harbour and motor south past limestone cliffs and pine-studded headlands. The skipper will drop anchor in each cove for roughly 25–30 minutes, giving you time to swim, snorkel, or simply float in the shallows. Water here is gin-clear and surprisingly cool year-round. Expect a gentle sea swell even on calm days — the boat moves with the rhythm, not against it. You'll see perhaps a dozen other boats across the route, but from the water, they shrink to dots. Bring a rash vest or old shirt if sun-on-skin bothers you; the deck offers minimal shade.
Good to know
Wear shoes with grip for boarding and deck movement. Bring a towel and dry clothes. The boat rocks; take anti-nausea tablets if you're prone to seasickness. Minimum fitness to climb aboard and stand steady required. Not suitable if pregnant, with serious heart concerns, or mobility issues.
