Book your spot on our sailing boat and join this shared sailing trip to Menorca with like-minded people!
We have prepared a sailing holiday to Menorca for you to enjoy a week on the island away from the crowds. This trip is designed for all those seeking tranquility, to experience life at sea, make new friends… in short, to live a unique holiday week!
Every Saturday afternoon we set sail towards Menorca to circumnavigate the entire island, discovering beaches and coves, sleeping under the stars (or in the cabins, at the sailor’s preference) and returning to Barcelona the following Friday afternoon. If the wind and sea allow us, we will be able to complete the entire circumnavigation of Menorca by sailing boat; if not, we have alternative routes so you can still enjoy the island by boat.
This week in Menorca is designed for individual travelers and couples willing to explore the island and share the week with the rest of the group. You can expect sunny days, swims in the sea, and long nights sharing experiences with everyone. Our professional skipper will take care of the navigation and technical aspects of the boat so you can fully enjoy your holiday. However, a little help from all sailors will make life on board easier.
ITINERARY
We start our adventure at the Olympic Port of Barcelona. We meet in the morning to make introductions and discuss all the details with the captain. While we wait for the catering to arrive with food for the entire week, we will organize a joint purchase of drinks and anything else you may need. We will distribute the shopping, the cabins, and we will be ready to set sail towards the Balearic Islands. We will leave in the afternoon, so you can enjoy the beauty of the sea and the sunset on board the catamaran, along with the vastness of stars at sea.
We arrive in Menorca after the crossing, eager to start discovering the magic of the island. We will stop at Cala Algaiarens to enjoy the first swim in its crystal-clear waters. Once rested, we will head to spend the rest of the day at “Cala Pregonda,” where we can have a great afternoon snorkeling and discovering the marine life beneath the surface. We will stay overnight in Cala Fornells, and if we feel like it, we can go down to the famous white fishing village to try its star dish: lobster stew.
In the morning, after enjoying the lobster stew, we will sail towards Cabo Favaritx, with its famous lighthouse and charismatic silhouette, and anchor in sheltered beaches, discovering the coast of Menorca. We will resume our route and anchor at Isla Colom, where we will also spend the night to enjoy the spectacular sunset on the island.
New day, new adventure! And this one will be full of energy. We will tour Maó, the capital, from the outside, continue passing by Isla del Aire with its crystal-clear waters, and approach Binibeca, a beautiful beach with transparent waters and fine white sand. We will end the day at Cala Macarella, one of the most famous and busiest coves for tourists. Luckily, we will take advantage of the night to enjoy it peacefully.
We will wake up in Cala Macarella, with a postcard landscape: white sand, crystal-clear water, and unbeatable beauty. After breakfast, we will set sail again and continue exploring the south of the island, passing by Cala Turqueta with its characteristic turquoise waters, and we will spend the day at Son Saura beach, with its clean waters and gentle waves. We will end the day in Ciutadella, which comes alive at night with its seaside restaurants and lively bars, so we will be there to take advantage of it.
On our last day, we will finish exploring the remaining coastline and stop at Cala ses Morts, a very special cove that is difficult to access on foot (luckily we are going by sailboat). In the evening, we will make ourselves comfortable and start the journey back to the city of Barcelona.
On the way to Barcelona, we will once again enjoy the starry sky, the sound of the waves, and the beautiful colors of the sunrise. We will arrive in Barcelona in the afternoon to conclude a very special week. Important note: the itinerary is indicative. It may vary according to weather conditions and as deemed appropriate by the captain, who is responsible for the safety of the crew.

LIFE ON BOARD
It is important to keep common areas and cabins tidy to ensure that things do not fall during navigation. Our catamaran is very spacious, but it is important to remember that we are sharing a small space with several people.
No prior experience is required to participate in a sailing trip, but the captain will appreciate any help and interest in sailing. We will teach you the steps to perform a maneuver and how to steer the boat. Additionally, during the crossings, we will divide the watches among everyone.
Regarding the bathroom, it is important to keep in mind that the freshwater tanks are limited, making moderate water consumption essential. It is prohibited to throw paper in the toilet to avoid clogging the pipes.
Always turn off the lights to prevent the batteries from draining.
Never enter the interior of the boat wet to avoid slipping, and avoid lying on the deck after using sunscreen.
Meals are prepared together as a team, and everyone’s participation is important.
Sailing vacations allow you to discover places you would not normally get to know, including incredible sunsets and direct contact with marine life.
The food will be prepared in separate containers to facilitate its preparation during the trip and to save time in making it. We can accommodate intolerances, vegetarianism, and veganism if notified in advance.
Of course! Our “plaza to plaza” trip is designed for individual travelers, couples, and small groups who want to share this experience with others. You will see that the sea connects us all, and many travelers keep in touch after sailing together, to be able to repeat another trip with their new friends.
It is important to limit luggage to what is necessary, preferably a sports backpack.
We will buy food and drinks before the trip, so you don’t need to bring anything.
You can choose the date on the product page, or directly here. We request a 50% deposit to estimate how many people will participate. The second half, along with the food and drink expenses, will be paid on the day of departure, before boarding.
You can take a look at our itinerary, but always keep in mind that it will depend on the weather conditions and the captain’s decision, as he is responsible for the safety of the entire crew.
It depends on the type of trip. For the Plaza to Plaza crossing, the minimum age to travel is 18 years, for safety reasons.
If you book the crossing for private groups, children are more than welcome! This way you can enjoy the island as a family.
It is not necessary. You can book the trip with a professional captain and thus not worry about anything.
You will need to assist the captain at certain times with specific maneuvers, share watch duties, and keep the sailboat clean. Any crew member can perform the tasks without issue.
For those more interested in sailing, you can learn to sail under the captain’s supervision.
It is strictly prohibited to smoke inside the boat or in the cabins. If there are smokers on board, as long as the captain allows it, you can smoke outside and dispose of the butts in the appropriate place.
We must keep in mind that we are in constant motion and surrounded by wood; we wouldn’t want to cause a fire from a simple cigarette butt.
Alcohol can be consumed, always in moderation. Excessive consumption of this type of beverage is prohibited; the captain could expel a crew member if their behavior is inappropriate due to being under the influence of alcohol.
In any case, the captain will inform you of all the rules during the initial briefing.
