5-Day Balearic Island Hopping

The grand Balearic voyage — from Mallorca to Menorca and back, exploring two islands, ancient harbours, and the Mediterranean's most beautiful coves

Route Overview

The 5-Day Balearic Island Hopping is our most ambitious multi-day charter — a grand voyage from Mallorca to Menorca and back that covers 210 nautical miles across two islands. You'll explore Mallorca's hidden east coast, make the exciting open-sea crossing to Menorca, and spend three days discovering the smaller island's legendary turquoise coves, historic port cities, and world-famous gastronomy. From the baroque splendour of Ciutadella to the lobster stew of Fornells, from the turquoise perfection of Cala Macarella to the vast natural harbour of Mahón, this itinerary reveals the very best of the Balearic Islands.
