Day 1
Palma — Portals / Illetas
Embark in Palma. Afternoon shake-down toward Portals Vells or Illetas: swim platform, toys, first dinner on board as the bay settles.
Overnight anchorage or local marina as preferred.
Twin Islands
Mallorca and Menorca in one week
Menorca lies roughly 100 nautical miles east of Palma (about six to seven hours direct at 18 kn). Most charters break the passage with scenic stops along Mallorca's east coast, then spend two to three days on Menorca's south calas and historic harbours before returning.
Biosphere-reserve coastline, quieter nights than the Pitiusas, and room for Seabobs in turquoise water — without inventing marina price lists: berths at Ciutadella or Maó are arranged as needed and costed via APA.
Day-by-Day
Suggested Outline
Weather, preferences and season shape every charter. This outline is a starting point — your captain will refine it before embarkation and keep it flexible underway.
Day 2
East Mallorca — Porto Colom / Cala d'Or
Cruise east along Cap Blanc and the south-east calas toward Porto Colom or Cala d'Or. Snorkelling, beach time, relaxed pace before the Menorca crossing.
Good staging harbours if you want a berth before an early departure.
Day 3
Crossing to Menorca — Ciutadella
Morning passage to Menorca. Arrive Ciutadella's historic harbour for an afternoon stroll through the old town and a calm overnight.
Crossing time depends on start point and sea state; captain picks the comfortable window.
Day 4
South Menorca — Macarella & Cala en Turqueta
The postcard south: Cala Macarella, Cala Macarelleta and Cala en Turqueta. Anchor in sand where permitted, swim in luminous water, lunch on the flybridge.
Popular summer calas — early arrival helps; Posidonia rules still apply.
Day 5
Toward Maó — Cala Mitjana & east coast
Continue east: Cala Mitjana, Binibèquer roads or the approaches to Maó (Mahón), one of the world's great natural harbours. Optional evening ashore.
Maó berths when useful for provisioning or dining; fees via APA.
Day 6
North Menorca (if settled) or more south coast
In settled weather: Fornells bay or Cala Pregonda's rust-coloured sand on the wilder north. If north is exposed, revisit quieter southern coves instead.
North coast is wind-sensitive — safety and comfort decide.
Day 7
Return to Palma
Longer cruising day back to Mallorca — often via Capdepera / Alcúdia roads or a more direct offshore track — for Saturday morning disembarkation in Palma.
One-way end in Maó or Ciutadella possible when delivery is contracted.
Practical Notes
Anchorages, crossings & Posidonia
Crossing distance
Palma–Menorca direct is a full cruising day at 18 kn. Staging on Mallorca's east shortens the open-water leg and keeps the week balanced.
Posidonia & calas
Menorca's famous southern calas sit amid protected seagrass. Anchor on sand only; respect local buoy fields and summer restrictions.
Marinas
Ciutadella and Maó are the main full-service options. We arrange berths when you want town access — costs vary and are not listed as fixed prices here.
Weather window
The Menorca Channel can kick up. Your captain will shift days 3 and 7 within the charter to keep passages comfortable.
