Invictus 280 GT Charter in Menorca

Invictus 280 GT is an 8.9m open day boat based in Menorca, and its compact scale is the point. It carries up to 8 guests and has a single cabin, so the day is built around time on deck and in the water rather than overnight stays. For a party that wants to move at its own pace, a boat this size is easy to handle in a busy harbour and easy to bring close to a cove.

Menorca's south coast suits it well. Cala Galdana, Cala Turqueta and Cala Macarella are all within the island's best-known cruising stretch, and a smaller hull can often settle in closer to shore than a larger yacht. Sea state and wind decide the final choice of cove, so the route is best agreed with the captain on the day. A northern run towards Fornells is a good alternative when the south is crowded or the swell is up.

The boat suits friends, a family group or a small party of colleagues who want a private afternoon on the water. It is not built for overnight cruising, so a multi-day plan would call for one of the larger yachts in the collection. Guest numbers, preferred departure port and any onboard requests should be settled when you enquire, and the brokerage will confirm what is included in the day rate before you book.
