Yacht charter in Ibiza: how to choose your boat

Ibiza makes a different kind of sense from the water. Chartering a yacht lets you reach coves with no road access, cross to Formentera in under an hour and watch the sunset facing Es Vedrà without the crowds at the viewpoints. On this page you will find the available boats with their real price, capacity and departure times.

The most important decision is with or without a skipper. With a skipper you need no licence: a professional who knows the island handles the boat and picks the best coves for that day's wind. Without a skipper (bareboat charter) you sail yourself, but you need a valid boating licence. If it is your first time in the Balearics, going with a skipper is usually the easiest and safest option.

The rest depends on your plan: a speedboat is agile and affordable for a day of coves; a sailboat or catamaran is more stable and relaxed, ideal for groups and families; a motor yacht wins on comfort and speed. Use the filters above to narrow by capacity, length, time of day or departure marina.

Half day or full day A half day (about 4 h) works for nearby coves; a full day lets you cross to Formentera without rushing.
Book ahead From June to September demand is high and the best boats sell out; off season leaves more room.
The wind decides The route may change with the day's conditions. A good skipper adapts it so you sail comfortably.

Frequently asked questions about chartering a yacht in Ibiza

Do I need a boating licence to charter a yacht in Ibiza?

No, not if you choose a boat with a skipper. The skipper is a qualified professional who handles the boat for the whole trip, so you need no licence or previous experience. You only need a valid boating licence for a bareboat charter, where you sail the boat yourself.

How much does it cost to charter a yacht in Ibiza?

The price depends on the type of boat, its length, the duration (half or full day) and the season. Speedboats are the most affordable option, while larger motor yachts and catamarans are at the higher end. Every boat listed on this page shows its real "from" price, and you can filter by maximum price to see only what fits your budget.

How many people can come on board?

Each boat has a maximum authorised capacity that cannot be exceeded, for safety and legal reasons. In Ibiza you will typically find speedboats for small groups and catamarans or yachts for larger ones. Use the capacity filter on this page to see only boats that fit your party size.

What is usually included, and what costs extra?

A charter normally includes the boat, mandatory insurance and the crew if you book one. Fuel, the security deposit, mooring at other ports and catering are usually extra or depend on the specific boat. The exact conditions appear on each boat's page before you confirm.

Can I go to Formentera in a day?

Yes, it is one of the most popular trips from Ibiza. The crossing is short and lets you spend the day in turquoise water such as Ses Illetes and return in the afternoon. To do it without rushing, book a full day rather than a half day.

When is the best time of year to sail in Ibiza?

The sailing season runs roughly from May to October. July and August have the best weather but also the highest demand and prices. May, June, September and October are an excellent alternative: pleasant temperatures, calm sea, quieter coves and better availability.

How far in advance should I book?

In peak season (July and August) we recommend booking several weeks ahead, as the most popular boats sell out and few dates remain. Outside those months there is usually availability at shorter notice. On this page, each boat's calendar shows the dates that are genuinely free.
