FAQ

Most Ibiza charters are day based and usually last between 6 and 8 hours. This gives enough time to cruise, swim, stop for lunch and relax without rushing. Shorter half day charters are possible on certain routes, while multi day charters are less common and depend on boat availability and marina space.

Formentera is possible on many days, but it is not guaranteed. Conditions, particularly in the afternoon, play a big role. Morning crossings are often calmer, while return crossings later in the day can be more affected by wind. Your skipper will always recommend the most comfortable and enjoyable option on the day.

Ibiza Town, San Antonio and Santa Eulalia all offer very different experiences. Ibiza Town suits Formentera and south coast routes, San Antonio is best for west coast beaches and sunset, and Santa Eulalia is quieter and more family friendly. The right port depends on your plan, not just where you are staying.

Yes, but it rarely means cancellation. More often, weather affects the route rather than whether the charter goes ahead. Ibiza has sheltered areas on different parts of the island, so skippers adjust plans to keep the day comfortable and enjoyable.

Afternoon wind is common in Ibiza, especially during summer. This is why experienced skippers plan longer crossings earlier in the day and adjust anchorages later on. The return journey is usually the deciding factor when planning routes.

Yes, when planned correctly. Calm routes, earlier departures and suitable boats make Ibiza a great option for families. Santa Eulalia and certain coastal areas are particularly well suited to relaxed, family friendly charters.

Most enjoyable Ibiza charters involve fewer stops than people expect. One or two well chosen anchorages, plus a lunch stop, is usually ideal. Trying to fit too much into one day often leads to rushing and less time to relax.

If you plan to visit popular beach clubs or restaurants, advance booking is strongly recommended, especially in peak season. Some venues also have specific arrival times for boats, which your skipper can help coordinate.

Most charters include a professional skipper, insurance and safety equipment. Fuel, food, drinks and beach club expenses are usually charged separately. Your booking team should always clarify this before the day.

Fuel costs vary depending on the boat, speed and route chosen. Short coastal routes cost significantly less than long crossings such as Formentera. Your skipper can give realistic guidance based on your plan.

You should bring swimwear, towels, sun protection and any food or drinks you would like on board. Soft bags are recommended, as space is limited. High heels and hard suitcases are best avoided.

Yes. One of the advantages of a private charter is flexibility. Routes and stops can be adjusted during the day based on conditions, preferences and how the group is feeling.

Very much so. Ibiza is one of the easiest places to experience a private boat charter for the first time, as long as expectations are realistic and the day is planned properly.

Earlier departures often allow for calmer water and quieter anchorages, especially in summer. Later starts can still work well for west coast routes and sunset focused charters.

The main season runs from spring through to early autumn. Outside peak months, availability is more limited and conditions vary, but quieter charters can be very enjoyable.
