Experience Menorca’s coast from aboard a traditional Balearic llaut, where history and comfort meet. The Niu Blau, a restored Truyol 36, offers a private escape to hidden coves and crystal-clear waters, guided by a knowledgeable skipper who tailors the route to your day. With space for seven guests, this trip combines relaxation, snorkelling, and exploration at a pace that suits you.
Boarding at Puerto de Mahón, guests are welcomed aboard the Niu Blau, which features a spacious sundeck at the bow for lounging, a large storage compartment below deck, and a stern area with a table, bathing platform, ladder, and shower for easy sea access.
Journeys are adapted to the group’s preferences and conditions. Swim, snorkel, or relax on deck while the skipper navigates to secluded beaches. Clear waters and hidden coves provide perfect settings for underwater exploration and memorable moments captured in underwater photos.
A picnic with local products and non-alcoholic drinks is served during the day. Optional extras, including organic sunscreens, waist bags for collecting plastics, and an illustrated Mediterranean guide, enhance both comfort and sustainability.
Departures take place from Puerto de Mahón, Menorca’s natural harbour and one of the largest and deepest in the Mediterranean. Its sheltered waters provide a safe and convenient boarding point, with free parking nearby for easy access. From here, the llaut can navigate to both the north and south coasts of the island, opening up access to secluded beaches, hidden coves, and crystal-clear waters that are otherwise unreachable by land.
The surrounding waters are calm and ideal for swimming, snorkelling, and leisurely sailing. Depending on weather and sea conditions, the skipper selects a route that highlights Menorca’s natural beauty, passing rocky cliffs, quiet inlets, and stretches of unspoilt coastline. Along the journey, guests may also spot local marine wildlife and enjoy panoramic views of the island’s landscapes, combining both relaxation and exploration in a single day on the Mediterranean.
Guests should feel comfortable in the water for snorkelling stops, and children require adult supervision. Individuals with mobility or medical considerations should inform the skipper in advance.
No prior boating experience is required. Swimwear, towels, and sun protection are recommended. Guidance on equipment and safety is provided throughout the day to ensure a stress-free outing.
