Our adventure begins on Saturday in Sardinia. After boarding, introductions, and a safety briefing, we prepare for the long crossing. In the evening, we set sail – heading for Menorca. Around 195 nautical miles lie ahead, a night and a day on the open sea. We familiarize ourselves with the watch system, navigate by the stars, and experience sunrise and sunset at sea.
Arriving in Mahón, we are greeted by one of the world's most impressive natural harbors – six kilometers long, bordered by the mighty La Mola fortress, small islands, and the charming old town. After a rest day, we explore Menorca's famous south coast: the bays of Cala Turqueta, Cala Galdana, and Cala Macarella are among the most beautiful anchorages in the Mediterranean – in October, we are almost alone there, surrounded only by turquoise waters and pine forests. From Ciutadella, with its Gothic old town and picturesque harbor, we take the ferry to Mallorca.
The north coast with the Bay of Alcúdia welcomes us before we experience the spectacular northwest coast along the Serra de Tramuntana – Port de Sóller, the Sa Calobra gorge with the Torrent de Pareis, the Sa Foradada peninsula, and the cliffs near Deià, all seen from the water. Via Port d'Andratx, we finally reach Palma de Mallorca, where our sailing trip ends. Which ports and bays we visit, and how long we stay in each, is decided – just like in real sailing – by the wind, the weather, and the crew together.
For those collecting miles for their next sailing license: Since we'll be crossing the open sea on this trip, you'll log plenty of nautical miles. Of course, we'll issue you an official mileage certificate at the end of the trip.
Our yacht travels the world – and you can join us! With us, you're not an anonymous guest on a standard route, but part of a real crew, discovering new horizons together. We're not a typical charter company that sails the same tour every week. Instead, we sail together, experience authentic boat life, and embrace the adventure the sea has in store for us.
Climb aboard a superbly equipped, lovingly maintained boat and enjoy something special: With us, nothing is off the rack. Every trip is unique – sometimes spontaneous, sometimes planned, always full of surprises. Unplanned experiences are just as much a part of it as relaxing days on deck.
Want more than just a sailing trip? We'll take care of the onboard technology together, and you can lend a hand if you like. You can turn your holiday cruise into a real experience on a long-distance cruising yacht and become part of life at sea.
Our sailing trips combine vacation, adventure, mindfulness, and authentic boating life. Become part of our crew and experience a special time on Galini – authentic, communal, and full of adventure.
