Best for
- Day charter to the south-coast calas inaccessible by road
- Circumnavigating the island (one full day, 50km coastline)
- Quiet weekly itineraries — Menorca attracts a calmer charter clientele
- North coast exploration (Cala Pregonda, Cap de Cavalleria)
Popular routes
- Mahón → Cala en Porter → Cala Mitjana → Cala Macarella (south coast, full day)
- Mahón → Isla del Aire → Punta Prima (south-east, half day)
- Ciutadella → Cala Morell → Cala Pregonda (north, dramatic cliffs)
- Fornells → Cap de Cavalleria → Cala Tirant (north, calm sail)
Practical notes
Smaller fleet than Mallorca/Ibiza — book 2-3 months ahead even in shoulder season. North coast (Cap de Cavalleria) gets strong tramuntana wind; many operators won't go that route in poor forecast. South coast is sheltered. Fornells and Mahón have the protected anchorages. Some south-coast calas have anchoring restrictions in summer — operator handles permits.
