What’s the experience like?

I nearly missed the boat—literally—because I couldn’t find the right dock in Ciutadella’s old port. Some local guy pointed me to the steps by the water, grinning like he’d seen this happen before. The air smelled faintly of salt and sunscreen, and I could hear someone’s playlist mixing with gulls overhead. Once onboard, I flopped into my assigned seat (you pick it when you book, which is weirdly satisfying) and tried not to look too much like a tourist. Spoiler: I failed.

Our guide was this woman named Marta who switched between Spanish, English, and French without missing a beat. She pointed out the cathedral as we slid past—its stone glowing honey in the late light—and told us about the old trading ships that used to anchor here. The sea was calm but there was this low hum of chatter, glasses clinking as they handed out cava. It tasted sharp and cold, bubbles catching in my nose while I watched cliffs flicker gold and pink along Menorca’s west coast.

I didn’t expect Pont d’en Gil to be so… quiet? Everyone went silent when we reached that stone arch—just cameras clicking softly and someone whispering “wow” in German behind me. On the way back, we drifted slow enough for everyone to snap their perfect sunset photo (I tried but my hands shook a bit). There was this moment where it felt like nobody wanted to talk at all, just watch the sun slip into the sea. It stuck with me longer than I thought it would.
