Grand Sailing Cruise Menorca → Mallorca → Valencia +255 MN

Sail with us on a journey that awakens the senses and revives the spirit of the navigator, uniting the most authentic and wild Menorca, with the most beautiful and rugged Mallorca, until you reach the always vibrant Valencia.

More than 255 miles to enjoy the sea, the sun and the wind, discovering incredible places and spectacular virgin coves to create a unique experience that will remain in your memory: The untamed environment of Cape Favàritx, with its volcanic and rugged landscape, the reddish sand and vivid backdrops of Cala Pregonda, the beauty and tranquility of Cala Formentor, the cliffs of the Majorcan tramontana that rise like walls over the Mediterranean, and the lively Bay of Sóller. Every day combines the thrill of sailing with the serenity of nature in its purest state.

A journey for sailors, skippers and captains who want to gain knowledge, experience and trust, perfecting their technique of steering, trimming and maneuvering, interpreting the weather and making the right decisions in real conditions, while enjoying sailing in its most authentic version. In short, for those of us who experience the emotion in a cooling wind, the calm in a breeze that caresses us when the sun goes down and we find meaning in the silence of a guard under the stars. But those who simply want to have a great sailing experience, even without learning objectives, are also welcome on board.

We will depart from the historic port of Mahón, with its majestic bay and its six kilometers of history, to border the east and north coast of Menorca, discovering hidden coves and corners where the green of the vegetation meets the blue of the sea. We will sail to Mallorca, crossing open waters while the wind guides our defeat and the sun draws golden reflections on the surface. Each anchorage will give us a moment of contemplation: solitary beaches, crystal clear waters, imposing cliffs and fishing villages that seem suspended in time. Finally, the Royal Navy of Valencia will welcome us, putting the finishing touch to a complete journey: technical, formative, beautiful and authentic.

A route that we have designed with love, with mind and with purpose. A trip that any sailor should do at least once in their life. We are waiting for you! Do you get on board?

Plan

DAY 1 · PUERTO DE MAHÓN.

Welcome and embark at the impressive port of Mahón where our adventure begins.

After discovering our sailboat, we will settle into the cabins and we will have the first of the different workshops and practices that we will be doing on board, as the voyage progresses: Government, security and navigation (Meteorology, defeat planning, POB, VHF, guards, instrumentation...).

Then we will familiarize ourselves with the maneuver. And we will close the day with dinner all together in the lively enclave of the port or its historic surroundings. After having enjoyed the atmosphere of Mahón, we will spend the night on board, ready to set sail.

DAY 2 · MAHÓN → EAST COAST OF MENORCA → FORNELLS BAY/25 MIN.

After having breakfast very early, we will start sailing along the E coast of Menorca, a succession of coves open to the sea, transparent waters and clear bottoms. We will bow to the beautiful bay of Es Grau. And if you feel like it, we can discover its small town anchored in time and take a short walk through the impressive S'Albufera Natural Park. Then, we will sail in front of the Illa d'en Colom, with its two beaches of white sand and turquoise tones, the Arenal d'en Moro, hidden among pine trees, and more discreet coves such as Cala Rambles, where the blue becomes almost unreal. We will continue to the untamed environment of Cape Favàritx. We will anchor in Cala Presili or Platja d'en Tortuga, ideal for a quiet swim before lunch.

In the early afternoon, we will continue to the N discovering places such as Cala Caldes, S'Arena d'en Mongofre or Cala en Brut, small and secluded. We will also discover the spectacular natural port of Addaia, an arm of the sea that goes gently into land. Afterwards, we will take a last swim in Cala Pudent, wild and protected.

And finally we will head to the spectacular Bay of Fornells, where at sunset we will tie ourselves to a buoy. We can walk around its town, imbue ourselves with its flavor and marine atmosphere, and if you feel like it, we will taste its famous lobster stew. And to round off a full day, we'll enjoy our first night under the stars.

DAY 3 · FORNELLS → NORTH COAST OF MENORCA → CIUDADELLA/25 MIN.

Today we will sail through the wildest and wildest Menorca. We will leave the mythical Cavalleria Lighthouse on the port side, to reach Binimel·la, a small and beautiful cove with shallow waters and clear sand. Nearby, Cala Pregonda awaits us, with reddish sand and rock formations. We will anchor in one of them, perfect for enjoying a bath, snorkeling and losing, for a few moments, the notion of time.

We will continue to Cala Algaiarens, wide, bright and with fine sand, surrounded by dunes and green hills, where we will anchor to eat and enjoy its crystal clear waters. According to the weather forecast, we will spend the afternoon and night here surrounded by nature and away from any noise, feeling the calm of the island when the sun goes down, or in one of the coves near Ciudadella. In any case, those who want to visit Ciudadella can take a taxi in Algairens, which will take you to the charming port in less than 15 minutes.

DAY 4 · MENORCA → MALLORCA → FORMENTOR/30 MIN.

Good morning we will start a beautiful deep-sea sail to Mallorca. During the voyage we will let the sea and the wind set our pace, enjoying a good sail, while we practice sailing and trimming the sails. Ideal for letting yourself be carried away by the senses, learning and living a good experience.

Shortly after noon, we will approach the Bay of Pollensa, with a particularly warm light at the end of the day. We will tie ourselves to a buoy in Cala Pi, with its lush pine forest, in front of the islet of Formentor. We can enjoy its waters and go for a walk at dusk. Ideal for relaxing and spending the night under the stars, after a great day at sea.

DAY 5 · FORMENTOR → NORTH COAST OF MALLORCA → SÓLLER/30 MIN.

Today, one of the most spectacular stretches of the Mediterranean awaits us. At dawn we will lift the anchorage to round Cape Formentor. We will sail close to its impressive cliffs, letting ourselves be carried away by a deep blue, to gradually arrive at Sa Calobra, a unique and tremendously cinematic place. We can enjoy its calm and crystal clear waters, walk along the beach and get to know the surroundings. Then we will sail to the nearby Cala Tuent, surrounded by mountains that reach the sea, it seems like something out of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. A magical anchorage for eating and relaxing.

And finally we will head to Sóller, anchoring at dusk in its beautiful natural bay. We will go ashore to enjoy the atmosphere of the port, its promenade and its quiet atmosphere. And if you feel like it, we can dine at one of its lively restaurants. Night under the stars.

DAY 6 · SÓLLER → NORTHWEST COAST OF MALLORCA/70 MIN.

In the morning we will sail at dawn to nearby Cala Deià, small and with deep blue waters, ideal for breakfast after an early and quiet swim. Then we will continue to the neighboring Foradada Peninsula, one of the most iconic landscapes in Mallorca. Here we will set off the boat to enjoy this iconic landscape, before moving away little by little from the island.

We will leave Dragonera on the port side and head out to open water, beginning the great journey to Valencia.

DAY 7 · OPEN SEA → VALENCIA/75 MIN.

At
dawn, we will enjoy a magnificent starry sky in the silence of the night while our bow cuts through the sea. The sunrise on the high seas will still offer us time to enjoy the horizon, good conversations, laughter and shared emotions during this spectacular journey.

Nostalgia for the silver reflections on his wall when the water was cut off while dancing to the infinite murmur of the waves.
Bedouin of the sea in the star-studded night and guided by the enchantment of his mantle, he sails hanging from the sky.
The sails come out and close to the soul, the salty bodies fly at dawn.
