Yacht charter in Menorca, the unspoiled island of the Balearics

Rent a boat in Menorca and discover the most beautiful coves in the Mediterranean. With Nautibliss, enjoy a boat rental with skipper to explore the island of Menorca, classified as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO.

Menorca, a natural sanctuary to discover by boat

Menorca is one of the last Mediterranean islands untouched by mass tourism. Here, there are no high-rise buildings or giant nightclubs: just pristine coves with crystal-clear waters, unspoiled coastal paths, and a unique archaeological heritage. The island has more than 200 beaches, most of which are only accessible by sea.

The contrast between the north and south of Menorca is striking. In the north, there are wild landscapes swept by the Tramontane wind and red sand beaches such as Cala Pregonda. In the south, there are picture-postcard coves lined with pine trees: Cala Turqueta, Cala Macarella, and Cala Galdana. Renting a boat is the only way to discover them all in a day at sea.

Nautibliss organizes your boat rental in Menorca with a professional skipper. We select comfortable motor yachts equipped for sailing in the Balearic Islands. Whether it's a day trip or a week-long cruise, our team will put together a tailor-made program for you.

The coves of Menorca seen from the bridge

From Cala Turqueta to Pregonda, the most beautiful beaches in Menorca

Menorca has an exceptional coastline stretching 216 kilometers. In the south, Cala Turqueta, Cala Macarella, and Cala Mitjana offer turquoise waters worthy of the Caribbean. These coves, accessible by steep footpaths, are best explored by boat: drop anchor, dive in, climb back on board. Simple.

The north of Menorca offers wilder landscapes. Cala Pregonda with its ochre sand, Cala Pilar lined with red cliffs, and the deserted coves around Fornells. The marine reserve in the north of Menorca protects exceptional seabeds, perfect for observing Mediterranean wildlife.

Your skipper knows every cove on the island: the best spots to anchor out of the wind, the best times to avoid other boats, and the beaches where you can drop anchor for a quiet lunch. Renting a boat in Menorca with a skipper gives you access to a secret island.

Menorcan flavors and lunches aboard the boat

On board, enjoy local specialties: caldereta de langosta (lobster stew), Mahón-Menorca cheese, ensaimadas, and wines from the island. Meals served on deck, overlooking the crystal-clear waters, are an integral part of the experience.

Nautibliss reserves your tables in restaurants accessible by sea: lunch in Cala Galdana, dinner in the port of Ciutadella, tapas in a secluded cove. Each stopover reveals the authentic gastronomy of Menorca.

Port Mahon and Ciutadella, two Menorcan atmospheres

Port Mahon is the second largest natural harbor in the world after Pearl Harbor. This 5-kilometer harbor, sheltered from all winds, has been welcoming boats since ancient times. Renting a boat from Mahon means setting sail from a site steeped in history to the wild coves of the east.

‍To
the west, Ciutadella charms visitors with its medieval architecture and picturesque harbor. The narrow streets of the old town, the 17th-century palaces, and the atmosphere of the terraces make it an unmissable stopover. Renting a boat in Ciutadella opens the doors to the coves of southern Menorca.

To rent a boat in Menorca without a license, you must opt for a rental with a skipper. At Nautibliss, all yachts are rented with a professional skipper included. This option guarantees safe sailing and knowledge of the best coves in Menorca, without the need for a boat license.

Which coves are a must-see when exploring Menorca by boat?

The must-see coves to discover by boat in Menorca are Cala Turqueta and Cala Macarella (south, turquoise waters), Cala Pregonda (north, red sand), Cala Galdana (south, the largest) and Cala Mitjana (south, intimate). These coves in Menorca are often difficult to access on foot: renting a boat is the best way to discover them all.

Is it better to depart from Mahon or Ciutadella by boat?

The choice between renting a boat in Port Mahon or Ciutadella depends on your itinerary. Port Mahon, the largest natural harbor in the Mediterranean, provides quick access to the coves in the east and north of Menorca. Ciutadella is ideal for exploring the coves in the south (Cala Turqueta, Cala Macarella). Your skipper will adapt the route according to the port of departure.
