Sun Odyssey 349

Automatically translated. View original

Two weeks of cruising departing from Porto Colom in Mallorca and around Menorca in early June: a discovery of stunning landscapes with often preserved nature, magical sites on a very well-equipped sailboat (Sun Odyssey 349) (perhaps lacking a desalinator to be completely autonomous and enjoy the Calas). The very warm welcome from the contacts at the base. The boat was perfectly clean, the inventory precise, and the handover efficient. Porto Colom is located on the east coast of Mallorca and is accessible by taxi from the airport (1 hour drive) and 40 miles from Menorca. Do not miss Ciutadella, Fornells, Addaia, Ille Colom, Mahon, Cala Covas, and many others.

Despite the late hour of our arrival, we were very well welcomed. Porto Colom is a lovely harbor. Provisions can be done about 15 minutes on foot from the port. Our boat was very clean and well equipped, only the genoa was worn and there was no mainsail cart or genoa. Very good welcome in Pollença and Cala Ramada, nice anchorages in Canyamel and El Calo. On the other hand, prices are exorbitant in Porto Cristo (nautical club, no space in the port).

The boat is the perfect size for five people; six people would be okay. Everything works mechanically, which makes sailing seem very easy and beginner-friendly. The anchor is not perfect; you definitely need to dive multiple times and check the hold. The staff during the handover of the boat is unfortunately rude and not very helpful. However, the charterer is particularly super professional and very accessible. Especially regarding insurance advice (skipper insurance) and necessary additional equipment, a consultation is worthwhile. Overall, an unforgettable beautiful experience!
