If you spend a few summer days in Menorca and can afford it, my recommendation is that you don’t miss a boat excursion for anything in the world.

Menorca is full of virgin beaches that can be reached on foot, but those who enjoy Menorca by boat know that there are corners where one cannot reach on foot no matter how hard they try. You can take an excursion from €30 per person if you opt for the Taximar, and if you want to go sailing for a day, you will have to spend around €125. Here are 5 boat plans sorted by price, each with its own advantages and disadvantages:
