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 also the key to exploring its most secret coves and stunning coastline in a peaceful and sustainable way.
A Little History
The llaut is a fishing boat of Arab origin that has been used for centuries by the fishermen of Menorca. Its robust design and its ability to navigate in calm waters and in rougher conditions made it the perfect tool for working at sea. Over the years, it has evolved, but it has always kept 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 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 unhurriedly, 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 to contemplate the scenery and immerse 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.
- Connection with tradition: Sailing in a llaut is a way to connect with Menorca's seafaring history and experience the island as its inhabitants have done for generations.
