Expect night sailing under the stars, and the rare satisfaction that only comes from crossing open water with nothing but wind, waves, and good seamanship.
Landfall in Mahón, home to one of the largest natural harbors in the Mediterranean. The historic old town is well worth exploring, offering a blend of Spanish and British influences, waterfront cafés, and a well-earned taste of shore life after the passage.
