Well, the summer is coming to a close. And heading into the summer months, many a traveler will look to head south and hit the shores. Popular destinations include various spots all around the Mediterreanean Sea, however this article will concentrate on the famous Balearic Islands of Spain, more specifically, holidays in and around the island of Menorca. The main islands of the Balearics are Menorca, Mallorca and Ibiza. One common way to get the best of all these islands is via the nautical (also known as sailing) route. But once that is determined, it is up to your group to decide which route to take.
Some decide to work on their sun tans and simply take it easy. Tanning by day and sailing ashore for some of the finest food and drink by night. Some groups sail the seas for relaxation, but on the other hand, some decide to go all out when sailing in Menorca - going climbing the cliffs around the island, snorkeling, deep sea diving and various other recreational pursuits. Several companies based in Menorca can provide private yacht charter with snorkelling packages and equipment available, and can also arrange that a fully qualified private diving instructor (PADI) is there for deep sea diving.
While single day yacht charters are available, for one to get a full view of the Balearics, a weekly or custom yacht charter trip is recommended. Try to find Menorca sailing holidays that allow you to plan your day according to your wishes and thus do not push pre-planned itineraries. This means you can tailor each trip to your very own needs. The only possible diversion is based on potential weather conditions. However, your group will be kept informed on weather conditions and any changes that may be necessary.
Not to worry though, as Climate is usually a sure shot, as sunshine is abundant. Temperatures range from 15 Celsius in the winter, to about 20-25 in the spring and autumn, while touching the 30's in the summer. With light winds generally, the conditions are usually just right for sailing. Sea temperature itself gets quite warm too, hitting 30 degrees Celsius in August. With the summer air starting to give a little bit of a hint, days by the sea may be just what you're looking for.
