The Port of Mahón is the second largest natural harbour in the world after Pearl Harbor, it contains a total of five islets, several coves, colonial houses, fortifications, ancient cemeteries, English cannons, contemporary art museums and a history of English and French colonization among other Mediterranean cultures. Just being able to go out on a skippered boat in this fantastic enclave is enough to guarantee that you will get to know an important piece of Menorca’s history, which will be explained to you in great detail by the skipper of the boat.
Just outside the mouth of the mouth on the left (port side) you can see the cliffs of La Mola, a place of fortifications built by Queen Isabel II and which served as a defence for the Port of Mahón and the city. Es Clot de la Mola is the first cove and one of the most popular with the locals and fishermen who want to fish or go for a swim.
Behind the cliffs of La Mola, already on the north coast, we find Es Freus, a place of large rocks and slate cliffs that have suffered the sway of countless Tramontana storms. However, in this area it is interesting to go snorkelling, and for lovers of incredible seabeds, its depths will take your breath away. Nearby, the first small civilisation can be seen, it is an urbanisation called Es Murtar.
The next cove is Cala Mesquida, the closest beach to Mahón, it is very visited by the locals due to its proximity to the city, it has coarse sand and semi rocky bottoms, it is a family place where Mahonese families spend the summer. It is a family place where Mahonese families spend the summer. It is a safe place for children to grow up and play with the gang.
After a while of sailing and the previous places, we arrive at a magical place, the village of Es Grau and in front of it, the Illa Colom. Es Grau is inhabited all year round, its beach is perfect for children and babies as it is very shallow and in the bay of the urbanisation a large number of small private boats of resident families congregate to enjoy the crystal clear waters of the Illa Colom and the boats of local fishermen.
Illa Colom is a small island located off the coast of Es Grau, accessible by boat or kayak. This uninhabited island is a perfect place for nature lovers, as it has a great variety of bird species and impressive Mediterranean vegetation.
After the first stop and a dip in the sea, it is time to discover several beaches in the area, most of which are unknown but which will surprise you with their beauty and uniqueness. This is La Rambla, a small beach located behind the defence tower of the same name. The crystalline and calm waters, without any buildings except for a small hut for fishermen, are only visited by boat and by the Cami de Cavalls hikers. After La Rambla, we sail to two jewel beaches, Cala Presili and Cala Tortuga. They are located at the foot of the Favaritx lighthouse, their blue waters are the bluest that can be seen in the north and contrast with the slate stone that surrounds the area. It is undoubtedly a place marked as a great discovery for all who visit it. These places can only be reached by boat or by following the Cami de Cavalls along the North Coast.
That’s right, both are virgin places, inaccessible by land and not to be missed if you are in the area by boat. However, to visit them on a boat with a skipper, you will have to book an eight-hour excursion, as you will need eight hours not only to get there but also to enjoy these unique enclaves.
For us, the satisfaction and pleasure of our clients is one of the most important aspects when it comes to offering the skippered boat rental service, so from the moment of the reservation until the end of the activity, we will be attentive and attentive your willingness to make this experience the best possible.
