Laid-back Living

A Menorca yacht charter should include a trip to the unhurried capital, Mahon - the biggest natural port in the Mediterranean. A stunning 5km inlet. While away the hours with a cafe con leche in the pavement cafés that occupy just about every available space. People-watch and sample pomada, the iconic concoction of local gin and lemonade.

A Taste Of History

Evidence of Medieval Mahon abounds. The architecture in Mahon hints to the British occupation of the island in the 18th-Century. Magnificent mansions lie behind the doors of the shaded narrow streets. A Mahon yacht charter is a laid-back affair, but there’s little time for rest. At night the port is abuzz with lively bars and restaurants. Try the lobster stew and fresh fish dishes at S’Espigo for a taste of authenticity.
