Es Vedra Sailing Voyage: Catamaran Tour from Ibiza

Get close to Es Vedra by water instead of viewing it from the shore

An Es Vedra sailing voyage is a 7-hour catamaran tour departing from Ibiza that circles the uninhabited rock island and its surrounding western inlets. You'll snorkel in the waters around Es Vedra, use paddleboards, and relax on nets strung across the bow while a professional captain navigates the route. The tour includes pickup and drop-off from designated meeting points, snorkel equipment, paddleboards, a cool box, and Bluetooth speakers. A guide speaks English or Spanish.

The experience

Most visitors see Es Vedra from a beach or cliff several kilometers away. This tour takes you out on the water to circle the island itself, anchoring in the western inlets where you can snorkel directly in the waters surrounding the rock. The catamaran carries a small group, and the captain positions the boat so you get close-up views of the landmark while staying safe in the water. Bring a valid passport and wear something you don't mind getting wet. The crew handles the rest.

The day runs seven hours total, with time split between sailing, swimming, and floating on the nets rigged across the bow: the best spot for photos and for watching the island without getting in the water. Snorkel equipment and paddleboards are on board and included in the price. A cool box keeps drinks cold, and Bluetooth speakers let you control the soundtrack. The captain speaks English or Spanish, so the commentary reaches both language groups without translation delays.

If rough weather arrives on your scheduled date, the operator will reschedule you for another day at no extra cost, or refund you in full. Public transportation runs near the meeting point, so you don't need a rental car to get there. Specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with very young children.
