Oceanis 40

Horizo IV has its age but is generally well maintained. The fridge did not work but we were given a 12 V cooler fridge that did the job (smaller capacity but kept cool enough). The boat has lived but we loved it and made for a wonderful trip!

The boat was an Océanis 40.

As a negative note, the halyard of the mainsail roller was damaged and close to breaking. I should also mention that they changed it for us in Ciutadella, but that cost us a day and a half without sailing.

There were 6 people on board, very comfortable and spacious. The reception was at the port of Mahón. Marina Menorca and its sailors are exceptional; they help you with everything, docking there is a "luxury". We sailed for 2 days to Ciutadella, anchoring in many coves, and spent one night in Ciutadella.
In that port, you have to fend for yourself; it's "normal" to have all the lines prepared and the crew very attentive because until the last moment they don't tell you where you will dock. The next day, we returned to Mahón, anchoring in the remaining coves and at Isla del Aire for 2 days until we reached our destination, everything was perfect.

The charter with the perfect base, when we arrived the boat we were assigned had problems with reverse, so they offered us a catamaran, which by the way was the same one we had rented in 2011. The circumnavigation of the island was very good on the catamaran, especially for the family.

It is a perfect destination, beautiful landscapes, lovely bays, superb villages where you can eat very well... but our fisherman and the divers were disappointed by the lack of fish in the waters... Velerosmenorca, very correct and available, good choice
