Ancient Greek sailors, and a fish that led them to shore.
"Ancient Greek sailors believed that the Naucrates, which appeared around their ships as they approached the shore, guided them back into the port — so they named it the pilot fish."
Naucrates Yachts was born in 2013 in the light of this Greek myth. The name was chosen deliberately: the company exists to do for boat owners and sailors in Menorca what the pilot fish was believed to do for sailors of old — guide them, quietly and reliably, into safe harbour.
The benchmark nautical company in Menorca.
Our mission is to be the benchmark nautical company in Menorca — to guide all boat owners and sailors to reach safe harbour, in the fullest sense of that phrase. It's carried out by experienced professionals, driven by the constant pursuit of excellence in all works carried out and in customer service.
One team, across the whole life of a boat.
A limited number of boats, looked after like our own.
A limited fleet
We work with a limited number of boats in Menorca, by design, so the service stays personal rather than scaled.
Treated as our own
Earning a shipowner's trust means delivering excellence quietly, and treating every boat the way we'd treat one we owned ourselves.
Adapted to you
Exclusive, top-quality service, with pricing that stays competitive rather than performative.
