Our office sits five minutes from Ibiza Town's port, so we know which anchorages at Formentera are clear of Posidonia restrictions and which restaurants require a tender drop-off.

Airport transfers, full provisioning, private chefs, paddle boards, jet skis and children's safety gear are arranged before you board at Santa Eulària or any other pick-up point.
Transparent Day-Rate Pricing
You receive one clear quote covering the day rate, fuel estimate and any applicable APA — no surcharges appear mid-trip, and every cost line is itemised in advance.
Round-the-Clock On-Trip Support
A dedicated coordinator monitors every charter 24 hours a day, ready to reroute for weather, book a last-minute table at Es Torrent or arrange a medical transfer if needed.
Why Charter a Yacht in Ibiza
Ibiza Town's Marina Botafoch and the commercial port at Santa Eulària des Riu give charter crews sheltered berths and fuel docks within minutes of open water. The cruising ground fans out across roughly 60 nautical miles, from the salt flats of Ses Salines in the south to the red cliffs of Cala d'Hort in the west. Season runs reliably from late April through mid-October, with July and August offering the warmest sea temperatures and lightest winds. A day trip south to Formentera takes barely twenty minutes by motor yacht, while the northern headlands of Portinatx sit roughly two hours at a comfortable 12-knot cruise.
Most yacht rentals here fall between 12 and 30 metres. Motor yachts dominate for day charters because they cover distance quickly, but sailing cats and monohulls suit guests who want a slower pace and quieter anchorages. Med-mooring stern-to is standard in every harbour, so crews handle lines and passerelles — guests simply step ashore. Summer swells rarely exceed half a metre on the leeward west coast, which keeps anchorages like Cala Salada glassy until early afternoon. Ashore, the fish market at Sa Penya supplies the raw material for on-board chefs who build menus around red prawn, local lobster and Ibizan herbs.
Couples book short sunset cruises; families favour full-day voyages with water-toy stops at Cala Comte; corporate hosts use a private boat hire as a floating venue for eight to twelve guests between meetings. A popular three-day itinerary links Talamanca beach to the Espalmador sandbar, loops west past Es Vedrà, and returns via the Dalt Vila waterfront for dinner. If any of those routes sounds right, our brokers will shape a detailed proposal within 24 hours — just share your dates and group size.

A quick read of what most charter clients ask before booking.
-
How much does a yacht charter in Ibiza cost?
Day charters typically start from a few thousand euros and rise with vessel size and crew level. Pricing follows a day-rate model, with fuel and provisions usually quoted separately. Your broker at Marina Botafoch will build an itemised proposal once you confirm dates, guest count and preferred yacht category.
-
What is included in an Ibiza yacht rental?
Every booking includes a licensed skipper, third-party insurance and basic safety equipment. Most crewed charters also provide a hostess, towels, snorkelling gear and a tender. Extras such as a private chef, jet ski hire or premium drinks provisioning are quoted as add-ons before departure.
-
How many guests can a charter yacht carry in Ibiza?
Day-charter regulations generally allow up to 12 guests on most licensed vessels. Overnight sleeping capacity is lower — a 20-metre motor yacht typically accommodates 6 to 8 in cabins. For larger groups, our brokers can arrange a flotilla of two or three yachts departing from Ibiza Town together.
-
When is the best season to charter a yacht in Ibiza?
Peak season runs from June through September, with sea temperatures reaching 27 °C in August. May and October offer quieter anchorages at spots like Cala Comte and lower charter rates. Wind conditions stay mild throughout summer, rarely exceeding Force 4 on the western coast.
-
Can I book a last-minute yacht charter in Ibiza?
Yes — same-week bookings are realistic outside July and August. Our fleet managers at Santa Eulària and Marina Botafoch confirm availability in real time, and provisioning partners can stock a yacht within 24 hours. During peak weeks, booking at least 10 days ahead gives the widest choice.
-
What is the cancellation policy for a yacht charter?
Cancellation terms vary by yacht owner and booking window. Most contracts use a tiered structure with partial refunds further from the departure date. Your broker will walk you through the specific terms before you sign, and we recommend travel insurance that covers charter cancellations.
-
Do I need a boating licence to hire a yacht in Ibiza?
No licence is required when you book a crewed charter — the skipper holds all mandatory certifications. If you prefer a bareboat rental, Spanish maritime law requires a valid navigation licence matching the vessel's category. Our team can verify your credentials and advise on the right option.
