When it comes to living the authentic Menorcan experience, there is no better way to do it than sailing on a llaut , the island’s traditional boat. These beautiful wooden boats are not only part of Menorca’s maritime heritage, but they are also the key to exploring its most secret coves and stunning coastline in a calm and sustainable way.

A Little History

The llaut is a fishing boat of Arab origin that has been used for centuries by fishermen in Menorca. Its robust design and ability to navigate in calm waters and in tougher conditions made it the perfect tool for working at sea. Over the years, it has evolved, but has always maintained its essence: a simple and functional boat, made to enjoy the Mediterranean.

Sailing in Llaut: A Unique Experience

Today, the llaut is much more than just a fishing boat. It is a symbol of Menorca and the ideal way to discover its crystal-clear waters and hidden coves. If you have ever dreamed of sailing without rushing, surrounded by nature, the llaut offers you exactly that: a relaxed trip, without noise or crowds.

What can you expect when renting a llaut?

  • Calm and disconnection : Unlike other motor boats, the llaut allows you to enjoy the sea at a leisurely pace, perfect for contemplating the landscape and immersing yourself in the tranquility of Menorca.
  • Access to hidden coves : With a llaut you can reach coves that are only accessible by sea, such as Cala Mitjana, Cala Pregonda or Cala Macarella.
