Menorca Cruising RYA Sailing School

Our first class RYA sailing school is based in Mahon harbour in Menorca. We offer RYA sail and power boat courses in a safe and friendly environment. Mahon harbour offers the perfect location for teaching beginners to sail or handle a power boat and the safe, picturesque anchorages and harbours of Addaya, Fornells and Ciutadella are ideal destinations for new skippers making their first passage plans under instruction. A course with Menorca Cruising promises an action-packed experience in beautiful surroundings on a modern sea-worthy boat all under the watchful eye of one of our highly qualified and experienced instructors. You will leave the course feeling confident about your new skills and with plenty of memories of the amazing beaches, harbours, anchorages and sailing waters of the fabulous island of Menorca.

Andy Hutton is the Principal of our sailing school and is also our Chief Instructor. He has a wealth of experience in instructing students of all ages and a solid background in yacht maintenance. He makes sure that everything runs smoothly and that all of the boats are kept in tip top condition. We also use a small number of hand picked sailing and powerboat instructors who all possess the required experience and teaching skills to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable learning experience here in Menorca.

Flamingo Yacht Charters, Bareboat Yacht Charter in Menorca

With around 20 years of experience of offering bareboat charter in Menorca, we can offer a fantastic yacht charter and sailing holiday experience to anyone looking to sail in the beautiful waters of the Mediterranean. Our wide choice of yachts based in Menorca are modern, spacious and well-maintained and our friendly staff are always on hand to assist before, during and after your charter.
