Menorca Yacht Charter
A yacht charter in Menorca is all about slowing down in the most peaceful corner of the Balearic Islands. Think quiet calas, low-key beach towns, and nights that end with starlight, not strobe lights.
We recommend visiting locations like Mahón’s elegant harbor, Ciutadella’s old town charm, the turquoise bays of Cala Macarella, Cala Mitjana, and the laid-back anchorage of Fornells.
Menorca is for you if you’re looking for:
- Secluded turquoise bays instead of crowded beach clubs
- Protected anchorages and easy sailing days
- Family-friendly, couple-friendly, crowd-avoiding holidays
- Authentic Spanish island life at a gentler pace

How to plan your yacht charter Menorca
A yacht charter Menorca works perfectly as a slow 1-week loop – or as the peaceful half of a Mallorca + Menorca itinerary if you have a little more time.
Starting in Menorca (Mahón) is ideal if you want Menorca to be the main event. You fly into Mahón, settle straight into calm sailing and short hops between quiet calas, Ciutadella and Fornells. It’s simple, relaxed and you never feel rushed.
Starting in Mallorca (Palma) works better if you want more variety. You can sail Mallorca’s dramatic north coast first – Sóller, Pollença, Formentor – and then cross to Menorca for its softer, quieter bays. This feels like a “big picture” Balearic route with two very different island moods.
For timing, we usually say: 7 days → Menorca only for a relaxed loop around the island. 10–14 days → Mallorca + Menorca so you have enough time to enjoy both coasts without turning it into a delivery trip.
Menorca is the right main destination if you care more about peaceful anchorages, safe easy sailing and turquoise swim stops than nightlife and big marinas. If you want both buzz and quiet, then a combo with Mallorca’s north coast is the sweet spot.
