Discover Southern Menorca by Boat: Small-Group Tours from Mahón Harbour
Menorca, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is a Mediterranean paradise where turquoise waters meet untouched landscapes. Among the best ways to experience its magic is on a small-group boat trip along the island’s stunning southern coast, departing from the historic Port of Mahón. These intimate excursions offer a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and scenic beauty, making them a must-do for visitors seeking an authentic island experience.
Mahón Harbour: Where History Meets Natural Beauty
The journey begins at Mahón Harbour, one of the largest natural ports in the Mediterranean. Steeped in history, this deep-water inlet has been a strategic naval hub for centuries, shaped by the British, French, and Spanish. Today, its shores are lined with elegant 18th-century mansions, waterfront restaurants, and historic landmarks like Fortalesa de la Mola, a 19th-century fortress offering panoramic views.
As you set sail from Mahón, the harbour’s charm unfolds—gentle waves lap against traditional llaüts (Menorcan fishing boats), while secluded inlets like Cala Llonga and Cala Rata invite a quick dip before venturing further south. The harbour’s calm waters and scenic backdrops make it an ideal starting point for a day of exploration.
The Allure of Southern Menorca’s Coastline
Leaving Mahón behind, the boat glides toward Menorca’s southern coast, a pristine stretch of hidden coves, white-sand beaches, and dramatic cliffs. Unlike the island’s more exposed northern shore, the south remains sheltered, with tranquil waters in mesmerizing shades of blue.

With fewer passengers on board, these excursions allow for a more personalized experience, including leisurely swim stops in secluded bays where the water is so clear you can see fish darting below.
Snorkeling enthusiasts will find vibrant underwater ecosystems near rocky outcrops, while paddleboarding offers a unique way to explore calm inlets at your own pace. Some tours even provide local treats, such as a refreshing pomada (Menorcan gin with lemonade), enjoyed as you drift along the shoreline.
