Hiring a boat in Ciutadella
Ciutadella is the rental base for Menorca's most famous coves: from the old harbour, tucked under the historic centre, you head south to Cala en Turqueta, Macarella and Son Saura, under 6 miles, or to Cala Morell and the north coast. Its 32 companies, 16 of them within 500 m of the harbour, have the widest motorboat fleet on the island: seven advertise no-licence boats and ten skippered hire. Cala Galdana, 10 km away, adds 6 companies closer to Macarella; Maó, at the other end, 48.
The season runs from April to October. In July and August the southern coves are regulated with buoys and a cap on boats; going out first thing is the only way to anchor in peace. In a tramontana, the south stays navigable and the north coast closes. There are scheduled boat trips to the coves for those who would rather not charter.

Not for a motorboat up to 5 metres and 15 hp, in daylight and near the coast: seven companies advertise them and Turqueta is within reach on a calm day. Bigger boats need an ICC or Spanish licence, or a skipper (ten companies).
