Ibiza & Formentera
Day Charter Guide

The ideal time for a day charter in Ibiza is between late May and early October. July and August offer the warmest waters and most vibrant atmosphere, while June and September provide excellent weather with slightly fewer crowds. The sea conditions are generally calmest during these summer months, perfect for cruising to Formentera.

The cruising time from Ibiza Town or Marina Botafoch to Formentera (typically Illetes beach) is approximately 30 to 45 minutes on a motor yacht cruising at 20-25 knots. Sailing yachts or catamarans will take longer, usually around 1.5 to 2 hours depending on wind conditions.

Yes, absolutely. Popular beach clubs and restaurants in Ibiza and Formentera, such as Juan y Andrea, Beso Beach, or Blue Marlin, require reservations weeks or even months in advance during the high season. Our concierge team can assist with securing these highly sought-after reservations for your charter day.

Standard day charter prices typically include the yacht hire for 8 hours, a professional captain (and crew for larger vessels), standard equipment, snorkeling gear, towels, and complimentary soft drinks and water. Fuel is usually charged separately based on consumption, and APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) may apply for larger yachts.

Yes, visiting the mystical rock of Es Vedrà is a popular day charter itinerary. Located off the southwest coast of Ibiza, it takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to reach from Ibiza Town on a motor yacht. It's an incredible spot for swimming, photography, and experiencing the unique magnetic energy of the area, especially near sunset.

The main additional cost is fuel, which varies significantly depending on the yacht's consumption and your chosen itinerary. Other potential costs include crew gratuity (customarily 10-15%), onboard catering or alcohol upgrades, and mooring fees if you choose to dock at a marina other than the yacht's home port during the day.

We recommend bringing high SPF sunscreen (preferably reef-safe), sunglasses, a hat, comfortable swimwear, a light jacket or sweater for the evening breeze, and your camera. Soft-soled shoes are required on board, though most guests prefer to go barefoot. Towels are provided on all our luxury charters.

Yes, you are welcome to bring your own provisions on most day charters. However, for a truly luxurious experience, we recommend utilizing our catering services or allowing us to provision the yacht according to your preferences prior to departure. Many guests also choose to tender ashore for lunch at a renowned beach club.

The waters around Ibiza and Formentera are generally very safe for swimming, with clear visibility and minimal currents in the popular anchorages. Your captain will always select the safest and most comfortable spots based on the day's weather and sea conditions. We also provide snorkeling equipment and flotation devices.

Safety is our primary concern. If the captain determines that weather conditions are unsafe for cruising, we will first attempt to reschedule your charter to another suitable day. If rescheduling is not possible, you will receive a full refund. Note that cloudy weather or light rain does not automatically constitute unsafe conditions.
