Boating in Ibiza: Discover the most outstanding options

We had the absolute PERFECT day with Martin (and Pedro, too!) today. The catamaran is pristine and Martin is just the best captain. We had a lunch reservation at Beso Beach Formentera and we had such a smooth ride down there/back. Stopped at some beautiful swimming spots too! Highly recommend this company for a boat day in Ibiza!!

Captain Ruben made our boat trip from Ibiza to Formentera an amazing experience! He was incredibly friendly, professional and attentive throughout the day. The service was excellent, the ride was smooth and he made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. I would definitely recommend Captain Ruben to anyone looking for a fantastic boat trip. Thank you for an unforgettable day!🌞🌊

We had an amazing experience with Carlos & Patricia during our bachelorette trip in Ibiza. They were both incredibly kind, patient, welcoming and helpful throughout the entire trip. You could really tell that they are experienced and know exactly what they are doing, which made us feel very comfortable and relaxed on board. They brought us to beautiful spots around Ibiza and made the whole experience feel special and effortless. We were even blessed enough to see dolphins during the tour, and the captain kindly followed them for a while so we could enjoy the moment longer — it was truly unforgettable 🐬✨ Thank you Carlos & Patricia for your professionalism, positive energy and hospitality. They made our bachelorette trip feel very special and we would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Ibiza 🤍

My wife and I spent the day on Capitan Phylps and it was 10x better than we could have ever hoped for. Everything about the day was flawless from the pre-event communication to arrival at the pier. The whole experience felt like 1-on-1 VIP concierge service. Captain was incredibly kind and helpful and made us feel welcome on board showing us the ropes. On the day he gave us a ton of helpful suggestions and options of how we could navigate through our trip to get the best experience possible, from finding the best coves to locating the perfect sunset spot off Es Vedra. If you’re looking for a stress free way to charter a boat in Ibiza than I would highly recommend it.

Mr Jones! What a Cat! We had the most amazing day and evening at Sea to witness the incredible total solar eclipse and sunset! The catamaran was incredible! Beautifully clean and had all the supplies needed for snorkel and paddleboard. All fabulous condition! Stopped off at some incredible coves. I can only say our day was made even more special because of the wonderful skipper! Coty…..you made our day so much more enjoyable with your helpful knowledge of the island and helpful nature! We had plenty of laughs along the way and you really did make our day more enjoyable! We absolutely cannot wait to come sgsin in May 2027 and really really hope we have you look after us again, which I will be requesting! Thankyou so much! A*****

We had an unforgettable day on the water! Everything was perfectly organized, from the beautiful route and breathtaking views to the refreshing swimming stops. The boat was clean, comfortable and well equipped, and the relaxed atmosphere made the whole experience even more enjoyable. A special thank you to our skipper Gabi, who was professional, friendly and attentive throughout the trip. He made us feel safe, showed us some amazing spots and ensured that everything went smoothly. We enjoyed every moment and would gladly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a perfect day at sea!

Great experience with Pau, I’ve been to formentera several times but have never experienced anything like today. Highly recommend it! Great docking and experienced captain who knows the he best locations. Ask for Pau! You will not regret it!

Had the best time on Just Love with Gabi. He’s professional and had many nuggets of knowledgeable to share. Make sure to ask him for his favourite place to eat on Formentera if you are lucky have him.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Sea Charter Ibiza! ☀️🛥️ From start to finish, everything was perfect. The boat was beautiful, the service was excellent, and the entire experience felt both professional and relaxed. The crew were friendly, attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the day. It was the perfect way to experience Ibiza from the sea, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. Everything was handled smoothly, which allowed us to simply sit back, relax and enjoy every moment. A huge thank you to the entire team at Sea Charter Ibiza for making our day so special. We highly recommend them and would absolutely book with them again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had 10 people on our 8 hour trip with Jorge and he was extremely kind, very accommodating, and speaks great English! He’s very flexible and understanding, and knows all the hidden gems! we had a great time with him 🙂

Big boat. Bottomless drinks. Tunes playing loudly. Lovely staff. Nice people to talk to. Some lovely places to stop off for sunbathing, snorkeling and paddleboarding. So very glad we had this booked for our group. 8 women on a hen do. Highly recommend.

Really good service from all the staff on board, unlimited drinks and really good vibes. Loud music, definitely recommend if you want a party boat in Ibiza. Also stop off at beautiful beaches for swimming

We booked out the Utopia 3 boat for a private cruise for 18 adults and one baby. We booked this via WhatsApp chat with Kelly who was very helpful. The trip was a 5 hour sunset cruise and this included a swim stop and also a stop at a beach club. During the swim we had access to Snorkels, woggles for floating and a stand up paddle board. The staff on board were brilliant and were really helpful. We were able to play our own music creating a perfect atmosphere fir the sunset. Drinks were included: we could choose from: beer sangria cava and soft drinks. (although next time stocking a few more beers would be nice as we drank them all). The price per person for this trip is excellent value for money for the time you get! Next time we are in Ibiza we will definitely be coming back!

This was one of the best experiences at Ibiza. Such amazing hosts, sangria was delicious, lunch was a fantastic spread of all the things you want for a picnic lunch. The beaches were turquoise water. Would recommend in a heart beat!

Enjoyable trip, for both 1st timers and those wanting to experience a beach hopping day. With unlimited drinks & snacks/food and friendly staff, it’s a fabulous trip. Take trainers or shoes you can walk over sand/rocks in, for the land/beach stops.

Absolutely fabulous day sailing with Steph! We spent the day touring around Formanterra. He provided a lot of great info and the boat has everything you need! Highly recommend.

We had the best day on the water thanks to Daniel! He was an exceptional skipper—professional, easy-going, and always making sure everyone had a great time. He knew all the best places to stop for swimming and sightseeing, and nothing was too much trouble. If you’re looking for an unforgettable boat trip in Ibiza, Daniel is the skipper you want. Five stars without hesitation! 🌊☀️🛥️

We had a really fantastic trip with Stefan! He showed us all the nice places around Formentera. Also there was Moore than enough drinks on board. If you ever think on renting a boat in Ibiza…. Let Stefan be your captain, you will have an amazing day 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🥳

Yesterday, our group went on the Blacklist boat tour with Captain Daniel, and we had an amazing time! We enjoyed the ride, visited beautiful spots around the island, and had plenty of opportunities to swim in crystal-clear water. Captain Daniel was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience fun and relaxing. Thank you for an unforgettable day and wonderful memories—we highly recommend this trip!

THE WORST PART WASN´T BEING STRANDED AT SEA… IT WAS WHAT HAPPENED AFTERWARDS We booked a Sea Ray 290 with skipper for a day trip between Ibiza and Formentera. The charter cost €1,380 (fuel not included), and unfortunately, the experience ended up being very disappointing. It wasn’t just because of the engine failure at the end of the day. The problems started almost as soon as we left the marina. The engine hatch kept popping open repeatedly. The skipper tried to secure it several times with cable ties, but it kept coming loose. Eventually, I offered to hold it down myself with my hand during part of the journey just so we could make it to Formentera. Later on, the swimming ladder broke off completely. It fell into the water, and I had to retrieve it before it sank. From that moment on, we had to climb back onto the boat without a ladder for the rest of the day, which is difficult to understand from a company promoting a premium charter experience. The worst part came on the way back. The engine failed completely, leaving us without propulsion or steering, and we drifted for about an hour until another boat from the company arrived to tow us back to Ibiza, causing us to arrive almost two hours later than scheduled. During that time, smoke started coming from the engine, to the point where the skipper took out the fire extinguisher and kept it ready in case it was needed. Fortunately, it wasn’t, but the situation was stressful enough that all of us became genuinely worried. To make matters even more concerning, the skipper told us during the trip that the propeller had been replaced the previous day and that the boat had not been tested after the repair, making our charter the first outing since the work had been carried out. I have no way of knowing whether this was related to the engine failure, but as a customer, it was extremely unsettling to learn that the boat had not been tested before taking paying passengers out to sea. However, what left the worst impression was not the breakdown itself, but the way the company handled the situation afterwards. After we returned to the marina, no one from the company contacted us to ask how we were or to discuss what had happened. For weeks, I was the one constantly chasing them through phone calls and emails. On several occasions, they promised they would call me back, but they simply never did. Throughout the entire process, I couldn’t shake the feeling that they were simply trying to let time pass, hoping the issue would eventually go away instead of dealing with it openly and professionally. In the end, they decided not to charge us for the fuel, which I appreciate, but in my opinion, that gesture falls far short of compensating for what happened. Mechanical failures can happen to any company, and that’s understandable. What truly sets a company apart is how it responds when things go wrong. Unfortunately, my experience with Xaloc Charter Ibiza’s customer service was extremely disappointing. I’ve attached a photo showing our boat being towed back to Ibiza by another boat

No paella to be seen. just free drinks in beer preseco sangria etc. Nice bay to swin at with water slide. I could not use the toilet at the end of the trip. They said it was done.

We had a great time on the boat. The DJ was amazing. Great experience to have with friends. Also beautiful spot to swim. I highly recommend them if you want to have fun in Ibiza

Absolutely amazing experience! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The crew was friendly, professional, and made sure everyone had an unforgettable time. Great music, delicious food and drinks, stunning views, and an incredible atmosphere. One of the highlights of our trip to Ibiza. Highly recommended! 🌊☀️🎉

The bottomless brunch is a total scam – their “local” food is stale bread with guacamole. Hummus and salsa??? Quite literally – that’s it. And the only protein is a glass jar of protein powder. Not joking. Flat aperol spritz, warm sangria and mimosas are about as good as it gets on this boat. Boat left an hour late and got back early, only went to one cove and the dj played for about 1.5 hours total. Truly a pathetic excuse for a boat day in Ibiza. It honestly gave me a bad impression of the whole island because it felt like a complete scam.

Definitely the hospitality I’d go for again and again! My favorite part was a hard pick because Formentera was stunning, the DJ set was lit but the paella was the homemade comfort I needed. Book this and enjoy. You won’t regret it!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing experience – highly recommended! We chose this boat to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and we had such an amazing time! 🥂🎂⛵️ The whole day was full of good vibes, music, drinks, laughter and unforgettable moments at sea. The atmosphere on board was fantastic — perfect for relaxing, having a few drinks, dancing, enjoying the sun, swimming and simply having fun together. 🌊☀️🥂 I would definitely recommend it for birthdays, celebrations, a fun day with friends, or simply for anyone who wants to enjoy a special day on the water. We made some beautiful memories and would absolutely do it again. Highly recommended for an unforgettable day at sea! ❤️⛵️🥂

Went on a sunset cruise and it was one of the best boat trips I’ve been on. It was amazing, perfect weather and I met some lovely people from other countries. The food was delicious and the drinks were free flowing. The crew were lovely and friendly and a great DJ playing brilliant tunes to get everyone dancing. I paid €70 which was worth it.

5stars is not enough there should be option about 7-10 stars for this amazing experience with Salvador Ibiza boats. 3 hours guided tour with amazing captain David and unforgettable sailorlady Tina was worth every single cent of their price. I hope I could come next year again and repeat this fantastic sunset. Thank you guys for your unbelievable job 😉

From boarding to departure we really enjoyed this experience of a sunset cruise round San Antonio. Very relaxed chilled vibe with music from Davido & Melissa was an absolute star to deal with from start to finish.

What can I say — this was such an incredible boat tour! Seeing different parts of Ibiza from the water was beautiful, and we loved getting to snorkel and paddle in the ocean. DJ Kaja created such a great vibe, especially around sunset. All the staff are so friendly and I also recommend buying the professional photos of you in the water! We really appreciated the whole experience and would absolutely recommend it!

Just amazing! We were a group of 7 people and booked a full day trip. Thanks to Julien the skipper we had the most fun day not only on the boat, also in the water swimming, paddling and relaxing on the lovely private island and the beach club beso beach Formentera. It is the second tour with Julien and he has the most incredible ideas for places to visit and things to do. We felt safe and relaxed at all times, due to his great skipping skills and professionalism and felt very warmly welcomed. I would definitely book with Nomad Sailing next time! Thanks again Julien

We had an exceptional and unforgettable trip with our captain Julian aboard the sailboat. We were able to enjoy a comfortable ride to explore unique and special beaches in Formentera while enjoying the sunset on the way back. Going on a sailboat was really special because it made us feel very present and enjoy every moment of the experience. Julian, the captain was incredible and was a wonderful addition to our experience. Would absolutely recommend!

We had the most amazing sailing trip from Ibiza to Formentera! From swimming in the crystal-clear sea and exploring a beautiful private island to a fantastic lunch at Beso – everything was just perfect. A huge thank you to our skipper Julien, who made the whole day truly unforgettable. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! ⛵️☀️🌊

Fantastically blissful day out. Having the sail up and gliding on the wind was a highlight. As was the deliciously comforting and lovingly created food, and the unique stops. Highlight of the trip to my favourite place in the world.

From start to finish, it was such a nice experience that I highly recommend. Planning was smooth, pickup was on time and easy. Instructions for meet up were accurate. We got picked up by our excellent captain, Julien who was warm, welcoming and so professional throughout the whole day. He was very accommodating and planned a fantastic tour including stops for swims, using the paddle board and snorkeling. Julien was very flexible and always gave us options of what we want to do. We ended the day with the most beautiful sunset. Nomad planned perfect day out and Julien made it happen. 5 stars.

Hello Ibiza fans and community, if you ever stay at magic Ibiza and are in the mood of making a private charter boat tour, than there is for us just one company und should chose for 100%!!!! White Island Charter with William and Benji!!! We did twice and will do it again, because it was just magic again and wonderful. This two people life their job with action, empathy and full of enthusiasm which makes a trip like this so special and never forgetting. Our captain Benji made us a day, we will never forget. Thank you, my dear Benji. When you don’t trust me, se the pics! Ingo & Katrin

Very happy to recommend White Island Charter for hiring a boat for the day in Ibiza! We had the best day out on the water! Our skipper Adri was amazing and made sure we had a really special day and took us to great locations in Espalmador (stunning) and Formentera (beautiful). The recommendation and reservation for lunch (Can Carlitos) in Formentera was perfect. We had the Pacific Craft 750 from Santa Eulalia marina. All communication and necessary arrangements were easy by email and WhatsApp.

We originally had a reservation for a different boat, but due circumstances we got changed onto an even better boat. They were very helpful thinking along with us. Great service and very friendly. The boat we had was perfect for my family, with three kids 7,8,10 years old! Next visit to the island I hope to rent with them again! They even added a cooler with some free drinks and ice for us! Highly recommend!

We hired 4 catamarans for retreat for 44 last week. The coms were seamless, the skippers and land crew exceptional. We square dolphins as we motored across the bay to formentara. The sea had a little swell but the boats were very stable. Great craft, great service and would use again. Thankyou all.

Hiring a boat from White Island Boat Charter was the highlight of our family holiday in Ibiza. We were lucky that they had a boat available at short notice, the team made booking via WhatsApp quick and straightforward. The handover from William was excellent, with a clear safety briefing, explanation of the navigation systems and some great local recommendations on where to explore and make the most of today’s weather conditions. We spent the day around Tagomago and the surrounding headlands, anchored in a secluded cove for swimming in crystal clear water, relaxed on board and enjoyed using the SUP board. It made for a fantastic family day on the water. Nico was friendly, professional and made the refuel and return process easy. As someone with boating experience, I also appreciated how well prepared the boat was and how confidently it handled the conditions on the trip back to Santa Eulàlia Marina. I’d happily recommend White Island Boat Charter for bareboat hire and would definitely hire from them again.

The views were stunning with beautiful rock shelves. Also, our captain was extremely nice, informational and humorous. The other members of crew were also very helpful. The photographer (Agu) took some amazing photos and videos – the slo mo ones of us jumping off the cliff was especially cool, Beware of the jellyfish though. Great cliff jumping opportunities, stand up paddling and amazing clear water to swim in! My family of 5 (ages 13, 17 & 19) had an amazing time, so suitable for a wide range of ages

Amazing boat trip. Very easy to book and find. Gorgeous boat right on the corner of the port in San Antonio. The crew were beautiful. So friendly and helpful. The whole experience was seamless. Two gorgeous swim stops. We used paddle boards snorkel gear etc. Some people did cliff diving also. We watched the most magical sunset in front of mambo. We’ve been coming to Ibiza for 25 years and this was our first sunset boat trip for our third wedding anniversary and it was just perfect. We will be back next year with our children as they would have loved it too. Lots of free flowing drinks and food and a beautiful clean and tidy boat. I couldn’t fault this trip. Thank you!

What an absolutely perfect trip!! Staff amazing friendly helpful and fun!!! I cannot recommend these guys enough!! Drinks plenty food delicious 😋 boat is beautiful captain Mike so funny and full of information. Can’t believe how lucky we were to book such a fun friendly boat trip and the music list is awesome thank you so much xx

The sunset boat trip with Lady Virginia Ibiza is an absolute must-do and was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our holiday. The breathtaking sunset, crystal-clear sea, and beautiful surroundings created the perfect setting, but what truly made the experience exceptional was the incredible crew. The captain, seamen, and photographer brought such positive energy and ensured everyone had a fantastic time from start to finish. The Spanish tapas and drinks were excellent, the music selection perfectly matched the atmosphere, and the service was outstanding throughout the trip. Everything was thoughtfully organized, and we couldn’t have asked for more. We highly recommend Lady Virginia Ibiza to anyone looking for a memorable and unforgettable sunset experience in Ibiza.

Beautiful tour. Amazing experience and really cool feeling. The captain and the crew are such a kind people. I fully recommend these tour.

Amazing experience with Blue Ocean Ibiza. Super easy booking and the boat was perfect and pristine! Our driver Valentin was the best!! He brought us to all of the best locations on the way to Formentera. Couldn’t have asked for a better day – totally worth it!!

After looking into several boat companies and looking through reviews, Im so glad I found Blue Ocean. They are very responsive, accommodating and professional. Our skipper Albert was very kind, knowledgeable, and patient. He took us to beautiful, secluded areas of the island on our way to Formentera. Towards the end of our tour, we saw dolphins! It was an incredible day, and I’m so thankful Blue Ocean made our trip to Ibiza a magical one. I will definitely be using them again

We use a boat called LÍO for a birthday celebration, the boat is very comfortable and with a lot of shade! Our skipper Carli was súper profesional and took us to really stunning places we never been before (not the typical trip to Formentera) The captain was very profesional. The boat super clean. And we felt very well looking after. He highly recommend Blue ocean for anyone that is thinking into rent a boat in Ibiza!

Our group decided to rent a yacht for a day while in Ibiza, and our experience with Blue Ocean was so good that we ended up booking a second boat day with them. They are extremely professional, experienced, and with a wide range of yachts across different price points. Communication was seamless and they were friendly throughout the whole process. A big shoutout to our captain Gerard – Gràcies per tot Don Gerard, t’esperem al Brasil!

I had an amazing experience renting an Odyssea 440 with Ocean Blue Charter. Cristina and Fernando organized everything flawlessly:) the whole process was smooth and stress-free. The price and deposit were very reasonable, which made it even better. Our captain, Matías, was such a great person and really made the experience special. I just want to say a big thank you to the whole team for such an unforgettable trip. I 100% recommend their boat charter service!
