The bow lifts away from Fornells and the island opens like a map redrawn by wind and water. Salt slides across your skin, the catamaran's twin hulls humming as the skipper reads the breeze; the northern coast of Menorca is a sequence of raw cliffs, ochre limestone shelves and hidden coves only reachable from the sea.

History
Northern Menorca has a long maritime tradition; Fornells grew as a sheltered fishing and salt-harvesting harbor, and the coastline shows centuries of marine use.
Conservation
This area is part of the Menorca Marine Reserve—boat operators avoid anchoring on Posidonia meadows and encourage snorkeling etiquette to protect habitat and water quality.
Reserve your spot on the Private Catamaran Rental in Menorca today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Book a morning departure
Sea conditions are generally calmer in the morning and visibility for snorkeling is better before the afternoon breeze builds.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect skin and the fragile Posidonia meadows—regular sunscreen oils harm marine life and reduce water clarity.
Prepare for motion
If you are prone to seasickness, take preventative medication or choose a sheltered berth—chips can occur in open sea stretches.
Respect anchoring rules
Anchor only where the skipper permits to avoid damaging seagrass beds and follow local guidance when swimming from the boat.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects your skin and the marine ecosystem during extended sun exposure.
