Boat Charter
Ibiza

Your own crewed yacht for the day — Formentera sandbanks, the west-coast calas and sunset at Es Vedrà. Private boat charter in Ibiza, arranged end to end by TSB Yachting.

The Island, On Your Own Terms

Ibiza is an island best understood from the water. The beaches that define it — Cala Comte, Cala Salada, Benirrás — are ringed by roads, car parks and crowds by mid-morning, but from the sea they open up completely. A private boat charter in Ibiza gives you the version of the island most visitors never reach: empty coves at nine in the morning, lunch at anchor with nobody within a hundred metres, and a route that you decide as the day unfolds rather than one dictated by a ferry timetable or a beach-club reservation.

TSB Yachting arranges private, fully crewed boat hire in Ibiza aboard immaculate luxury motor yachts. Every charter comes with a professional skipper who knows these waters — where the swell hides on a northerly, which anchorages stay calm when the tramuntana pushes down the channel, and which restaurant tender landings are worth the detour. You do not need a licence, previous experience, or any plan at all beyond a departure time. Step aboard, and the day is looked after.

Our Ibiza charters range from relaxed half-days along the west coast to full-day crossings to Formentera and multi-day island-hopping itineraries linking Ibiza, Formentera and Mallorca. Because TSB Yachting is based in Palma de Mallorca and operates throughout the Balearics, we can position the right vessel wherever your charter needs to begin — Ibiza town, Marina Botafoch, Sant Antoni or San Miguel — and handle the paperwork, provisioning and berthing before you arrive.

Private day boat charter along the Ibiza coastline
Ibiza Day Charter

Eight hours along the island's best stretch of coast. Swim stops at Cala Comte and Cala Bassa, lunch at anchor, and a slow run past Es Vedrà as the light drops.

From €2,500 / day
Boat charter from Ibiza to the Formentera sandbanks at Illetes
Formentera Crossing

The classic. A 30–45 minute run south to the sandbanks of Illetes and Espalmador, where the water turns an implausible shade of turquoise and the day slows right down.

Most requested route
Multi-day island hopping yacht charter between Ibiza, Formentera and Mallorca
Island Hopping

Two days or ten, linking Ibiza, Formentera and Mallorca. Sleep aboard in quiet bays, wake up somewhere new, and let the itinerary follow the weather rather than fight it.

The Ibiza Coast by Boat

Ibiza is small enough to see a great deal of in a single day and varied enough that no two charters look alike. These are the anchorages our skippers return to, and the ones we will build your route around.

🏝️
Formentera & Espalmador

Illetes and Llevant deliver the Caribbean-grade water Ibiza is famous for. Anchor off the sandbank, swim ashore, and lunch at Beso Beach or Juan y Andrea — we book the table and run the tender.

🌅
Es Vedrà

The limestone monolith rising 400m off the south-west coast is the single most striking sight in the Balearics. Best approached in the last two hours of daylight, with the boat drifting and the engines off.

🐚
Cala Comte & Cala Bassa

Shallow, pale-sand west-coast bays with exceptional water clarity. Arrive early by boat and you will have them largely to yourself long before the road traffic builds.

🥂
Marina Botafoch & Ibiza Town

Cruise beneath the walls of Dalt Vila, berth in the heart of the action, and step off for dinner. A striking way to arrive for an evening in town without a taxi in sight.

🌲
Benirrás & the North

Pine-backed and quieter, the north coast rewards a slower charter. Benirrás for its Sunday drums, Cala Xarraca and Portinatx for clear, sheltered swimming water.

🤿
Sea Toys & Swimming

SeaBobs, e-foils, paddleboards, snorkelling gear and jet skis on request. The swimming platform is where most Ibiza charters end up spending the middle of the day.

What an Ibiza Charter Looks Like

Nothing here is fixed — the point of chartering privately is that the day bends to you. But this is the shape most of our Ibiza day charters take, and a useful starting point when you are deciding how long you want on the water.

10:00
Board & Depart

Meet your skipper at the marina, stow bags, run through safety, and cast off. Coffee and cold drinks are already aboard.

11:00
First Swim Stop

Anchor in a quiet cala before the crowds arrive. Swimming platform down, toys in the water, an hour or two of doing very little.

13:30
Lunch

On board with catering arranged in advance, or ashore by tender at a beach restaurant we have reserved for you.

16:00
Second Anchorage

Move on to a different bay as the afternoon light softens — often the quietest and best part of the day.

18:00
Sunset & Return

A slow pass beneath Es Vedrà or along the Ibiza town waterfront, then back alongside at dusk.

Ibiza Boat Charter Questions

How much does a boat charter in Ibiza cost?
A private crewed boat charter in Ibiza typically starts from around €2,500 per day for a luxury motor yacht including skipper and fuel, rising with the size and specification of the vessel. Half-day charters of four to five hours are available at a lower rate, and peak-season dates in July and August command a premium. Extras such as catering, premium drinks, water toys and transfers are quoted separately so you can see exactly where the money goes. Send us your dates and group size and we will come back with an itemised quote and no obligation.
Do I need a licence to charter a boat in Ibiza?
Not for the charters we arrange. Every TSB Yachting boat charter in Ibiza comes with a professional skipper who holds Spanish Maritime Authority certification, so no licence or previous boating experience is required from you or your guests. The skipper handles navigation, anchoring, safety briefings and the tender, which means you get the coastline without the responsibility — and, in practice, a much better day, since a local skipper knows exactly which bay will be sheltered and empty on any given wind direction.
Can we go from Ibiza to Formentera by private boat?
Yes — it is by some distance the most requested route we run. The crossing takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes depending on your departure point and vessel, which puts the sandbanks of Illetes and the shallows of Espalmador comfortably within a full-day charter with hours to spare. The advantage of going privately is control: you anchor off the beach rather than queueing at the port, swim straight from the transom, and head back whenever you choose instead of chasing the last ferry. We can also reserve a table at Beso Beach or Juan y Andrea and run you ashore by tender.
How many guests can join an Ibiza boat charter?
Most day charters in the Balearics carry up to 12 guests under standard Spanish charter licensing, which comfortably covers families, groups of friends and small corporate parties. Larger groups can be accommodated by chartering two yachts to cruise together, or — for static events and receptions — by hosting on board while berthed in the marina, where capacity is considerably higher. Tell us your headcount and the kind of day you have in mind and we will match you to the right vessel or combination of vessels.
What should we bring on board?
Very little. Bring swimwear, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and soft-soled or bare feet — hard soles are not worn on deck. Towels, ice, water, soft drinks and snorkelling gear are provided. A light layer is worth packing for the run home at dusk, when it can be cooler than the afternoon suggests. If you are bringing anything valuable, most yachts have a secure space below; leave large rigid suitcases behind, as soft bags stow far better.
When is the best time of year to charter a boat in Ibiza?
The Ibiza charter season runs from roughly May to October. June and September are the sweet spot — the water is warm, the weather settled, and the anchorages noticeably quieter than the July and August peak. May and October offer excellent value with calm seas and empty coastline, though evenings are cooler and some beach clubs run reduced hours. If you want a specific yacht on a specific peak-summer date, book well ahead; outside those weeks we can often arrange a charter at short notice.
