Private boat excursion with a skipper along the north coast of Menorca

If you’re looking for an exclusive experience at sea, our private boat excursion with a skipper along the north coast of Menorca is the best option. Aboard a private boat with Nautic Charter Menorca, you’ll explore virgin coves, crystal-clear waters, and unique historical sites, all starting from the impressive Port of Mahón.

1. The beginning of the adventure: Port of Mahón

Our private boat excursion with a skipper begins at Port of Mahón, the second-largest natural harbor in the world. Spanning 5 km, it is home to five islets, hidden coves, colonial houses, fortifications, and historical cannons. Setting sail from here is, in itself, an immersion into Menorca’s rich history.

While the skipper takes care of navigation, you’ll learn fascinating details about British and French influence on the island, as well as the strategic importance of this port in the Mediterranean.

2. Exploring the north coast: Es Clot de la Mola, Es Murtar, and Cala Mesquida

The journey first takes us to Es Clot de la Mola, a small cove often visited by local fishermen. From there, we navigate past the imposing cliffs of La Mola, where 19th-century fortifications were built to defend Menorca.

As we sail north, we pass through Es Freus, an area of slate cliffs sculpted by the Tramontana winds. This is an excellent snorkeling spot, offering a vibrant marine ecosystem. Next, we reach Es Murtar, a small coastal village marking the transition to more untouched beaches.

Our next stop is Cala Mesquida, the closest beach to Mahón. Its coarse sand and crystal-clear waters make it an ideal spot for relaxing and swimming.

3. Illa d’en Colom: a natural paradise

We continue toward Es Grau, a charming fishing village with a shallow beach, perfect for families. Just off the coast lies Illa d’en Colom, a protected natural sanctuary with pristine beaches such as La Solitaria, Els Tamarells, and Platja de s’Illa.

This area is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing in nature. A stop here allows for a refreshing swim before continuing the journey.

4. Hidden beaches: La Rambla, Cala Tortuga, and Cala Presili

As we continue our private boat excursion with a skipper, we reach remote and exclusive locations. La Rambla, located behind an ancient defense tower, is an isolated cove with no buildings, accessible only by boat or via the Camí de Cavalls hiking trail.

Further along, we find two hidden gems: Cala Presili and Cala Tortuga, nestled at the base of Favaritx lighthouse. Their deep blue waters contrast sharply with the rugged slate rock landscapes, creating an unforgettable postcard-perfect scene. These beaches are only accessible by boat or by hiking several kilometers, making them a secluded haven of tranquility.

5. Favaritx lighthouse: an icon of the north coast

Built in 1922, Favaritx lighthouse is one of Menorca’s most iconic landscapes. Its dramatic slate cliffs and wild surroundings make it a unique setting within Menorca’s Biosphere Reserve. During our private boat excursion with a skipper, this lighthouse is a must-stop for capturing breathtaking photographs and admiring the vastness of the sea.

Duration options for your private boat excursion with a skipper

At Nautic Charter Menorca, we offer two options to explore the north or south coast:

• 4-hour excursion: A journey through the most iconic spots, perfect for those seeking a brief yet unforgettable experience.
• 8-hour excursion: A full-day adventure that, in addition to the destinations mentioned, includes stops at Mongofre and Sa Llosa des Macar, two completely untouched enclaves only accessible by boat.

Mongofre and Sa Llosa des Macar: virgin treasures

For those opting for the full-day excursion, a stop at Cala Mongofre is a must. This is a spectacular bay with three golden sandy beaches, surrounded by cliffs and untouched dunes. It can only be accessed by boat or with special permission from the private estate.

On the other hand, Sa Llosa des Macar, located further west, is a white sand beach with completely transparent waters. Nestled beneath an inaccessible cliff, it is a peaceful oasis, perfect for swimming and disconnecting from the world.
