Cala’n Bosc: 3.5-Hour South Coast Sightseeing Boat Trip

Imagine gliding along the rugged coastline of Menorca’s south coast, discovering secret beaches, turquoise waters, and dramatic cliffs—all from the comfort of a well-equipped boat. For about 3.5 hours, this guided tour takes you past some of the island’s most stunning coastal spots, with plenty of time to explore, swim, and soak up the scenery. The departure point from Cala’n Bosc Marina makes it easy to join, whether you’re staying nearby or just want a quick escape onto the water.

What we particularly like about this trip is how it combines beautiful landscapes with fun onboard activities. The boat’s waterslides are a hit, especially for families or those young at heart, and the glass-bottom “Reflex System” offers an extra peek into the underwater world—no snorkel required. Plus, the chance to stop for an hour at a secluded beach gives you a real sense of freedom; you can explore, snorkel, or simply lounge in the sun with a snack in hand.
