The Menorquin Llaüts are the very boats which gave rise to the birth of the Menorquin shipyard over 30 years ago. The overall boat lengths range from 5 to 8 metres and are characteristic because they retain the traditional style of the typical Balearic fishing boat, or llaüt. Over the years Menorquin has worked to incorporate improvements in to the manufacture of the Menorquin Llaüts to achieve a product which meets the highest quality standards and has become a distinguished brand in this segment of the nautical market.
Some years ago the shipyard opted to externalize the manufacture and sales of this range in accordance with the company’s business strategy of the time. Now, in response to changes in the requirements of the recreational nautical industry and to aid its recovery through the launch of new business formulas, Menorquin has decided to internalize these procedures once again at the shipyard facilities on Menorca.
Menorquin Llaüts are very suitable for those just getting started in the nautical world, they are characterised for their ease of handling, sound performance and safe sailing qualities which are indispensable for living out a passion for the sea from the very first voyage.
Menorquin Llaüts offer a variety of attractive features for those who prefer to sail without haste, at a cruising speed of 7 knots. Thanks to their hull shape with a very small draft, these craft are able to navigate through very shallow waters, close to beaches, making it easy to disembark and explore on dry land.
The Menorquin Llaüts range currently offers three versions of craft (Solarium, Cabinado and Toldilla) of different lengths ranging from 5 to 8 metres.
One outstanding feature which defines the personality of the Menorquin Llaüt is the perfect combination of its traditional and seafaring image, based on its classic predecessors, and the safety and tranquil sail it achieves due to its semi displacement hull and this is one of the attributes which sets Menorquin vessels apart.
The comfort and spacious interiors of the models with cabins (cabinados) make these boats the perfect choices for organizing trips of various days exploring along different sections of the coast, for anchoring off small coves or setting off on fishing expeditions etc. The solarium versions (open vessels) have been devised specifically to enjoy both recreational and professional fishing activities to a maximum and are obviously more suited for day trips.
