A yacht charter in Menorca anchors you off the quietest and most unspoilt of the Balearic Islands – a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve where over 70 beaches and calas indent a coastline of just 216 kilometres, many accessible only by sea. The south coast’s calas are the stuff of postcards: Cala Turqueta’s powdery white sand shelving into aquamarine water, Cala Macarella’s twin crescents framed by pine-cloaked cliffs, and Cala Mitjana’s sheltered swimming pool reached through a natural rock archway. The north offers a wilder character – rust-red sandstone headlands, deeper anchorages, and the harbour town of Ciutadella, whose Catalan-Gothic cathedral and candlelit restaurants make it one of the Balearics’ most atmospheric stops. Boatcrowd lists motor yachts from 68’ to 98’, superyachts above 100’, and luxury catamarans from 55’ for Menorca charters, drawing from Spain’s fleet of over 120 vessels with visiting yachts from across the western Mediterranean each season.
Peak season spans July and August; June and September deliver warm seas, uncrowded anchorages, and softer rates that make Menorca outstanding shoulder-season value. Charter rates start from €4,000 per day on a catamaran, from €4,700 per day on a 68’–78’ motor yacht, and from €12,300 per day on a superyacht above 100’, plus Spanish IVA and APA. Menorca is where the Balearics feel most like a private island – serene, strikingly beautiful, and best explored at the pace a yacht allows.

Menorca pairs naturally with Mallorca – the crossing takes roughly three to four hours, and the contrast between Menorca’s tranquil calas and Palma’s urban energy adds depth to any itinerary. Longer charters of ten days or more can comfortably loop through all three main Balearic islands: Menorca, Mallorca, and Ibiza, with an optional stop at tiny Cabrera.
For peak season in July and August, book five to seven months ahead – Menorca’s anchorages are smaller than Mallorca’s and popular calas fill quickly with charter and private yachts. June and September bookings can typically be confirmed three to four months out, often at rates 20–30% below high-season pricing and with beautifully uncrowded anchorages.
Menorca is an outstanding family destination. The south-coast calas – Cala Turqueta, Cala Galdana, and Cala Macarella – provide calm, shallow water ideal for young swimmers, and the island’s gentle pace suits families perfectly. Most yachts carry paddleboards, snorkelling gear, and inflatable toys, and crew are experienced at adapting excursions and meal times to suit younger guests.
Most charter yachts carry a tender, paddleboards, kayaks, snorkelling gear, and towable inflatables as standard equipment. Menorca’s exceptional water clarity – visibility regularly exceeds 25 metres in the south-coast calas – makes snorkelling a highlight on every itinerary. Larger yachts often add jet skis, SeaBobs, and diving equipment; ask your broker for the full inventory on any vessel you’re shortlisting.
