Yellow catamarans is a Company based in Mahon, Menorca that provides daily trips around the Port and surrounding beaches.

The complete trip around the Port of Mahon will take you to the north shore (S’Altra Banda), passing by the Spanish Naval Base, the English Cemetery, the Plana Islet and the Lazareto Islet, then passing through the Canal de Alfonso XII and going up to the Fort of la Mola. Coming out from the mouth of the port, one can enjoy the underwater views in the clear waters of the Clot de la Mola. Returning to the port, we pass by the ruins of the Fort of San Felipe, the town of Es Castell, the Kings Islet, and the colonial houses of Admiral Collingwood and Lord Nelson, prior to returning to the interior part of the port where a splendid panorama opens up of the cliffs and the old quarter of Mahon.
