The bow lifts away from Fornells and the island opens like a map redrawn by wind and water. Salt slides across your skin, the catamaran's twin hulls humming as the skipper reads the breeze; the northern coast of Menorca is a sequence of raw cliffs, ochre limestone shelves and hidden coves only reachable from the sea.

The bow lifts away from Fornells and the island opens like a map redrawn by wind and water. Salt slides across your skin, the catamaran's twin hulls humming as the skipper reads the breeze; the northern coast of Menorca is a sequence of raw cliffs, ochre limestone shelves and hidden coves only reachable from the sea.
This stretch sits inside Menorca's protected marine reserve, where seagrass meadows (Posidonia) slow the current and give the water its startling clarity. Geology here is exposed—flat limestone benches punctuated by craggy headlands and the chalky outcrops around Favaritx lighthouse—evidence of the island's uplift and marine erosion over millennia. Fornells itself is a working fishing village with a long tradition of lobster and salt curing; the view from the deck connects that maritime past to the present-day rhythm of sailing.
Expect an unstructured full-day cruise (about eight hours) with multiple stops for snorkeling and swims. The skipper sets the route each morning to match wind, swell and the day's light: Cala Pregonda, small caves and pebble coves are typical highlights. The sea will push and cajole—plan for chop and calm alike.
Practical notes: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a snug snorkel mask, and a light waterproof layer for the open-deck breeze. Wear shoes that grip wet surfaces and pack water and snacks if you prefer. Pay heed to marine-reserve rules—anchor only where permitted and avoid trampling Posidonia.
Small group size (max 10) makes this both social and intimate; whether you want quiet swims or full-on exploration, the day is yours to shape under the Menorcan sky.
Yes—charters are organized for your party (up to 10 people) and the skipper tailors the route and stops to your group.
Snorkeling is offered at multiple calm coves; the skipper chooses access points based on conditions and conservation rules.
