A three‑hour private water‑taxi cruise around Mahón offers a slow, customizable window onto Menorca’s coastline: anchor in crystal‑clear calas for long swims and snorkel sessions, glide past the cliffs of La Mola and pick out tiny islotes and sea caves that are only reachable from the water. The service is intentionally flexible and designed for small groups who want a relaxed, private maritime escape.
