About this tour
An eight-hour private sailing charter exploring Ibiza's coastline and neighbouring Formentera aboard a 35-foot vessel. You'll navigate between hidden coves, crystalline shallows and distinctive rock formations with a professional skipper, stopping to paddle and snorkel in sheltered bays. Bring a picnic or source provisions locally—the boat's galley keeps everything chilled. Suits anyone from young families to seasoned sailors seeking a quieter alternative to crowded beach clubs.

What to expect
You'll spend the morning and afternoon under sail, with the skipper adjusting course based on wind and your preferences. Expect several anchoring stops where you can slip into the water with snorkelling kit or take out a paddle board to explore reefs and seagrass beds. The boat rocks gently in swell; if you're prone to seasickness, take precautions beforehand. There's a toilet on board. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and a light layer—the Mediterranean sun is unforgiving and wind chill affects you at sea. Swimming ability isn't essential, though confidence in water helps.
Good to know
Lunch isn't provided; pack your own or stop at a harbourside taverna. Alcoholic drinks are excluded—bring water and soft drinks instead. The boat accommodates infants with specialised seats. Public transport reaches the departure point. All fitness levels welcome; sailing involves minimal physical exertion beyond boarding and moving about deck.
