What the price includes
With us, the price of a boat with a skipper in Menorca includes all of this:
- A professional skipper who knows the coast and chooses the coves depending on the wind.
- Private use of the boat: only your group is on board.
- VAT and third-party and passenger insurance.
- Mineral water and ice.
- Paddle board and snorkel masks.
- With the Flyer 7, also an electric underwater scooter and drone photos.
What is not included: fuel
Fuel is paid separately at the end, only what is used. It depends on the hours, the route, the weight on board and the sea conditions. As a guide:
- Karnic SL601: about 90 € for 4 hours, 120 € for 6 and 150 € for 8.
- Beneteau Flyer 7: about 110 € for 4 hours, 140 € for 6 and 170 € for 8.
The Ciutadella beaches route leaves from Es Canutells and has a 60 € supplement with the Flyer 7.
Which duration to choose
- 4 hours: for a first experience or with small children. Enough to sail and swim in two or three coves.
- 6 hours: the most balanced. Plenty of time for several coves and lunch on board with no rush.
- 8 hours: the full day. Allows longer routes, such as the Ciutadella beaches.
You can see which coves each route covers on the north coast route and the south coast route.
With or without a skipper: which works out better
A boat without a skipper may look cheaper, but you need a licence, you need to know the anchorages and you are responsible for the boat. With a skipper, someone who sails Menorca every day chooses the calmest coast, takes you to the best coves of the day and handles the anchoring. You just swim and enjoy.
If you are 5 or 7 people and split the price of a boat with a skipper in Menorca between you, it comes very close to a shared excursion, with the difference that the boat is yours alone.
Skipper’s tip: the 4-hour trip is the most booked, for its balance of time and price. If you want a slightly longer, more relaxed experience, the 6-hour trip is highly recommended.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price per person or per boat?
Per boat. The price of a boat with a skipper in Menorca is the same whether you are 2 or 5 people on the Karnic SL601, or up to 7 on the Flyer 7.
Is the skipper included in the price?
Yes. All our trips come with a professional skipper, included in the rate together with VAT.
How much does fuel cost?
It depends on the boat and the hours: from about 90 € (Karnic, 4 hours) to 170 € (Flyer 7, 8 hours). It is paid at the end, only what is used.
What happens if the weather is bad?
