Sailing Estuary Mallorca
In the past, Spain was a land of famous sailors and explorers. The sailing area around Mallorca and the neighbouring islands offer wide beaches, lonely bays, nice island towns and a lot of culture. Most of the bays and marinas are on the south and east coasts of Mallorca. The northwest coast offers few safe places to stay and harbours. However, although the northwest coast is highly dependent on wind and weather due to the water depth, you will find numerous unique moorings in front of magnificent rock formations in untouched nature when the weather is fine. A highlight of every island tour is the view of the white lighthouse at the famous Cap de Formentor.
From Port d' Alcudia or from Cala Ratjada on the north-east coast of Mallorca, it is about 35 nautical miles to Ciutadella on the neighbouring island of Menorca, which is a popular destination for yacht charters from Mallorca.

Menorca the little sister of Mallorca
Menorca is the easternmost island of the Balearic Islands and is the ideal place to experience a relaxing sailing holiday. Menorca is a true paradise for sporty sailors and nature lovers, it is largely spared from mass tourism. The large white sandy beach of Arenal de son saura on the south coast is the epitome of a picturesque Menorcan bay. On a yacht charter around Menorca there are countless opportunities for a swim stop. Nice harbour towns and inviting bays are just waiting to be discovered during a sailing holiday.
Popular destinations for sailors are the port of Fornells on the north coast, the island capital Mahon and the caves of Cala Porte. In the deeply cut bays on the south coast there are several caves that can be visited. Also worth seeing is the artificial cave Cova d'en Xoroi at a dizzy height on the steep rocky coast in the south of Menorca. Enjoy a spectacular view here with breath-taking sunsets. There is a bar in the cave that turns into a disco at night. You should also include the picturesque harbour town of Ciutadella in your cruise plan. Around the lovely town in the east, you will find numerous sandy beaches with azure blue water, picturesquely framed by rocks.
Sailing Ibiza and Formentera
Sporty sailors can also visit the neighbouring islands of Ibiza and Formentera with a long beat of about 60 nautical miles. Ibiza is considered the loudest island of the Balearic Islands. However, it is not only a must for all party people, but Ibiza is also the ideal sailing area for those interested in culture and for all those looking for relaxation. Formentera is especially known for its clean Mediterranean beaches. One of the most picturesque beaches is at Cala Saona, a small bay framed by rocks.
