You push off from the old stone quay of Ciutadella, the motor's steady hum answering gull calls as the town shrinks behind you. The western coast of Menorca opens like a map of hidden inlets: limestone cliffs fold into sudden beaches, caves gash the shoreline, and turquoise pockets of water tempt you to drop anchor.

History
Ciutadella’s port has been a maritime hub since antiquity; the western coast bears watchtowers erected to spot corsairs in the 16th–18th centuries.
Conservation
Menorca protects large areas of coastal Posidonia meadows and many coves are within marine protection zones—anchoring rules and no‑take restrictions help preserve water clarity and biodiversity.
Reserve your spot on the Boat Rental without License in Ciutadella today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Time your departure
Leave early morning for glassy seas and calmer winds—afternoons can bring stronger sea breezes that make anchoring trickier.
Protect Posidonia
Anchor only on sand and avoid seagrass meadows; they’re crucial to the island’s marine ecosystem.
Pack a waterproof bag
Keep phones, documents and a spare layer dry in a sealed bag—spray and swims are inevitable.
Brief thoroughly
Listen to the safety briefing and GPS assistance details; the boats are geolocated and assistance is available at all times.
