Ibiza: Catamaran Cruise with BBQ & Unlimited Drinks

Summary

Ibiza’s turquoise coves, Es Vedrà views, and open-bar catamaran days

You’ll sail Ibiza’s southwest coast by catamaran, pausing to swim in turquoise waters at Cala Comte and Cala Bassa. There’s plenty of time for snorkeling or just floating around before enjoying a relaxed BBQ lunch onboard—with unlimited beer and sangria always close by. Expect sun-warmed skin, easy laughter, and those quiet moments you’ll remember later.

What’s the experience like?

I didn’t realize how much I needed to get away from Ibiza town until we stepped onto that catamaran. The harbor was buzzing—music, sunscreen, people laughing in all sorts of languages—but once we pushed off, it felt like everything just softened. Our guide (I think his name was Marc?) handed us cold drinks right away. There was this salty breeze and the sun kept flickering on the water. I remember thinking, “Okay, this is what a real break feels like.”

The boat cruised along the southwest coast—Cala Bassa first, then Cala Comte. Both places looked almost unreal from the deck; water so clear you could see every ripple over the sand. Someone said it reminded them of Thailand or Bali but honestly, it just felt…Ibiza. We stopped for swimming and I tried snorkeling for maybe five minutes before drifting back to float near the inflatables. The water was colder than I expected—kind of woke me up in a good way.

Lunch was simple: grilled chicken and salad, nothing fancy but tasted great after swimming (the fruit was gone in about two seconds). People lounged around with beers or sangria—someone played music quietly on their phone but mostly it was just waves and little bursts of laughter. At one point our captain pointed out Es Vedrà in the distance; there’s something about seeing that island from the water that makes it feel even more mysterious. Hard to explain why.

I still think about that feeling—the mix of sunburnt skin and salt in my hair when we sailed back toward port. It wasn’t perfect (my towel blew away at one point), but maybe that’s why it stuck with me. If you want a day trip around Ibiza where you can actually breathe and not worry about anything except which drink to grab next, this is probably it.
