How long is a yacht charter season?

Yachting has two main seasons: summer (May to October) in the Mediterranean and winter (November to April) in the Caribbean, peaking at Christmas and New Year. Booking in the shoulder seasons offers crowd avoidance, flexible rates, and a wider selection.

Cala Sisters: Secret Shores

Cala Mitjana is a shining example. This amber arc of sand can only be reached by private yacht or hiking trail. The air is scented by nearly one thousand flowering plants. The only shadows are those reflected by your charter yacht on the Menorca seabed. Too public? Swim to little sister beach Cala Mitjaneta next door. In the words of Condé Nast Traveller: "There's only room for 20 or so sunbathers. Make sure you're one of them."

Back to the Beach

A Menorca yacht charter begins and ends at the beach. Allow your crew to organise pirate treasure hunts, aquatic Olympics, SUP races, eFoil lessons and trampoline jumps into the drink. The best beach? Some say Cala Trebalúger, a virgin cove, where footprints at dusk will be yours alone. We say there’s another 99 beaches to explore.

Menorcan Soul

Menorca’s twin towns offer equal allure. Mahon is protected by castles. Sustained by 50 seafood restaurants. And fortified by Xoriguer gin, which distils the island essence of juniper, rosemary and thyme. Ciutadella is as Spanish as a glass of sangria. The town sources lobster and grouper directly from fishing boats. Lazy lunches are best slept off on Cala Turqueta. This beautiful beach has only three colours: white sand, turquoise water, green pines.
