About
Forget the effort of touring Menorca’s northern coast by car—and enjoy it in the eminently more relaxing fashion of a boat trip on this small-group cruise. Relax aboard a comfortable, skippered catamaran as you sail the marine-reserve waters from Fornells, and watch as cliffs, pine-fringed promontories, and beaches unfurl before you. Along the way, stop at coves to swim and snorkel; and savor drinks and snacks on deck.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Wanderer1886360 contributionsGive it a tryA great experience with a confident and friendly guide who paddled back to retrieve my daughter’s phone from the beach!!Written September 19, 2024
- GrandTour623457130080 contributionsLovely day. Ruined by horrible route choiceThe experience itself and the guide were amazing. However was killed when we were left standing for an hour waiting on another tour coming back. Once we were on our way the other group was dropped off first, we were a mere 5min from our hotel and ended up spending another hour in a bus.Written September 15, 2024
- 380ianp0 contributionsOverpriced rubbish.This is very overpriced for what was literally a 45 minute ride out in a straight line,turn round and go back. No site seeing of coves etc... No swimming stop or use of paddle board as advertised. Snacks was 1 bowl of crisps with pieces of ham inside it(no good if you are a vegetarian as 1 of our travellers were) The drinks are ridiculous,you poor your beer out of a long neck bottle into a paper cup. The only thing going for it is the staff are really friendly but you would be if you just took £165 off 3 ppl for 1 hour 45 mins of nothingWritten September 2, 2024
- LyndaParis_France0 contributionsLovely half day catamaran tripWe had a great half day experience on a catamaran. There were 12 of us and it was very comfortable. We navigated for a while to soak up the atmosphere of the northern part of the island and went to two lovely beaches for a swim. Paddle board and mask / tuba provided. Nice touch cold drinks and a bit of a snack! Definitely would recommendWritten June 11, 2024

- laurarB7018BO0 contributionsA perfect dayAfter reading recent reviews I was feeling a little apprehensive about the trip but shouldn’t have been. There were 6 adults and 3 children on board our boat with plenty of space for everyone to spread out. (Another slightly smaller boat than ours left at the same time with 7 adults). The boat was lovely, and our skipper friendly and knowledgeable. We were well fed with a snack of tortilla, sausage and bread sticks followed by a lunch of rice salad and chicken. Our skipper took us to 3 beautiful coves with crystal clear waters and interesting snorkelling. There was very little wind on the day of our trip, but for a short period on the way back to port, the engine was turned off and we glided along by sail power. This was a wonderfully tranquil way to end the day and made even more perfect by dolphin sightings!Written August 10, 2023
- Mobile122520381220 contributionsDisappointing Experience - False Advertising and Lack of ConcernI had a highly disappointing experience with this boat tour. Despite being advertised as "limited to 7 people," our small boat was crammed with 10 adults and crew, making the trip uncomfortable and cramped as we struggled to find seating space. Furthermore, the absence of fresh water in the toilet facilities was completely unacceptable. We were informed that the boat trip would navigate the south of the island due to wind conditions. However, this decision meant we couldn't access any beaches, and the inlets were overcrowded with boats seeking shelter - a far cry from the advertised experience. Swimming was rendered impossible due to turbulent waters, and a tedious 2.5-hour journey back to the mooring, caused by unfavorable weather, led to a rushed disembarkation. In my opinion, the boat should not have ventured out, and the trip should have been rescheduled considering the conditions. Dishearteningly, our request for a partial refund due to the multitude of issues was declined by the operator, Viator, displaying a lack of concern for customer satisfaction. Based on these factors, I cannot recommend their services. This experience was far from the relaxing and enjoyable outing I anticipated, resulting in the unfortunate waste of a day's holiday for us.Written August 8, 2023

He was very good at pointing out different sites as we went by and allowed us to stop every once in a while to regain energy. As it was our first time we were very nervous but very soon we were confident and enjoyed the experience. We stopped by a beach to get refreshments and did snorkelling. Deffo worth every penny would come again. THANK YOU DANNY !!!!Written July 14, 2022

We tried to book an excursion on the website and it was impossible because the payment method wasn't working, so we tried to call and a guy answered and guaranteed that we could pay at the boarding time. When I and my friends came on the next day, the same guy said that for an “error” we could not board because they “unfortunately” no have more places in the boat. He even didn't try to fix his mess, it was very frustrating once that we were staying on the other side of the island, and it took a time to get to that place (time, fuel, and expectations), but the guy didn't care and we didn't have any proposal for a solution nothing beyond “I’m so sorry”. Really??? Trying not to waste our day we looked for another place and we found a special place in the same street a little bit ahead (around three blocks), and they made our day super special. My advice look for another place because this place doesn't know how to deal with clients and to fix their own mess.

Run! Scam! Don't think about passenger safety! We booked a half day tour 2 days ago with Tui! Catamaran with 2 stops snacks and drinks! Once on the boat the skipper tells us that it will move a little! And in fact a real catastrophe everyone stood, people got sick! We stopped instead of 2 because the wind conditions were too strong! They should have told us before they boarded! No life jackets! Horrible! We told them on our return that they should have given us the choice to board or not! And not become prisoners! They don't care! Think only about profitability and not safety! Run away from this company! There are others!

me sabe mal que tengas esta opinión, los otros 6 barcos que salieron lo pasaron muy bien, de hecho tuvimos una rep de la Tui para ver el producto.
Los chalecos los llevamos , solamente se lo damos para que lo lleven puesto a los niños y las personas que no sepan nadar y nos lo pidan...
si sales al mar, a veces se mueve, incluso nos faltaba algo de viento para navegar, por los que las condiciones son normales, llevamos 20 años haciendo estas excursiones y sabemos perfectamente cuando salir y cuando no... no entiendo tanta alarma. Estoy tranquilo porque los otros clientes han disfrutado, de hecho tenemos muchos clientes que vuelven año tras año, por lo que la seguridad está asegurada... no hay empresa mas segura que la nuestra.

We booked this trip through our Tui rep at our hotel. We were picked up from out hotel and taken to the offices for the start of the trip in Fornells. They check your booking and toilets are available and it's advisable to make use of these as there are no toilets on the catamaran itself.
The catamaran are not big so on ours there were just 10 people which allowed plenty of room to move around and find your own space. Our guide (William) was excellent offering all the safety information but also having fun with us to add to the experience.
You leave the harbour and head out to enjoy the views on the North coastline. There are 2 stops where you can enjoy a snorkel or have a go at paddleboarding. The 2nd stop is in an area with lots of fish for you to see.
Snacks and drinks are provided.
This trip was fantastic fun and well worth it.

A nice and relaxing excursion thanks to our Captain Guillermo very friendly and eager to please. We sailed almost all the time because it was windy and as we like to sail it was wonderful! We stop at two pristine beaches to snorkel or stand-up paddle. To recharge, they give you a drink and a small snack. The beautiful landscapes and a different way to discover the landscape of the north of the island. Recommended for both couples and families.

Superb walk starting from Fornells. The super friendly skipper gives us comments and explains the landscapes and life in Menorca.
2 stops in coves with translucent waters. Nice atmosphere on the catamaran, good little group and cheerful aperitif! To do, especially in September!

Was on holiday with my granddaughter and she wanted to go on the half day catamaran trip. I am 68 and bit wary of getting in and out the boat due to some knee issues but decided to risk it and book !. We were picked up from our hotel by a lovely lady who pointed out places of interest on the way to the marina. Met Carlos who had called me in the UK to change the date to the Friday which was not an issue at all. Toilet available before you got in the dingy to take you to the cat. We took sun lotion, towels, sun glasses etc all the usual but cold drinks (beer and water/juice etc) were supplied and a bowl of snacks. I managed to get into the dingy fine then the Skipper (sorry forgot his name!) helped me up into the Cat. There were 8 guests (all young !) and the Skipper. He worked very hard doing all the sails, ropes etc. We went out to sea for a bit then turned back into a beach area and were given 45 mins to swim, snorkel, use the paddle board or just relax. Then off to another beach with loads of interesting little fish in the clear water. Then eventually back to the marina and I managed to get back into the dingy fine ! If you are my age and think you could never go on one, please do it !! It was fine and I was SO pleased that I did it and was the highlight of the week !. my granddaughter thought it the best experience of the holiday too ! There was no negatives at all just a great day !. Thank you to all the staff ! x

The money best spent during our stay on the island of Menorca. A great afternoon, sailing, swimming, snorkeling, chatting and enjoying the scenery (and a rather nice pomade...). Our skipper Kepa was a very genial host and showed us some great spots to snorkel, and was great company. We will go back, but next time to try one of the 'sunset' trips.

Wonderful trip with Alberto as our captain. Right on time for departure and arrival. Alberto invited our kids to conduct the catamaran. Wonderful experience to all of us. Fornells town is such a nice port itself, worth a visit.
