Anchor at Ses Illetes and let the captain navigate around your group's mood

A private full-day sailing trip on a 43ft boat departing from Cala Porroig in Ibiza, with room for up to 7 guests and a captain with over 10 years' experience in these waters. The route adapts to your preferences—Ses Illetes, Espalmador, Playa de Levante, or spots the captain knows that most tourists miss. Lunch is your choice: a beach club in Formentera, fresh paella delivered to the boat, or your own picnic at anchor. The boat includes SUP boards, snorkeling gear, Bluetooth speakers, WiFi, and a restroom; guides speak English and Spanish.

The Experience

The day starts at Cala Porroig, a quiet natural bay where traditional fishermen's huts line the shore and the water is clear enough to see the bottom. Your captain—either Gabi or Marco, both with over a decade navigating these waters—takes the helm of a 43ft sailboat outfitted with shaded deck areas, cushions, and everything you need to spend a full day at sea without the crowds or the fixed schedule that fills other boats. The boat holds up to 7 guests, which means no strangers sharing your day and no itinerary carved in stone before you leave the dock.

The route unfolds based on what your group wants to do. You'll sail past Torre de ses Portes, an 18th-century watchtower that rises from Ibiza's coastline, and S'Espalmador, a small protected island with turquoise water and white sand where locals once believed the natural mud had healing properties. Your first real stop is Ses Illetes, a beach that ranks among Europe's best—soft white sand, water so clear it looks Caribbean, and part of a protected natural park that has kept it simple and unspoiled. If the day and your group allow it, Playa de Levante opens up on the wilder side of Formentera, a long open beach with dunes and shallow water that shifts with the wind. The captain can also anchor at Es Pujols, a relaxed seaside village, or take you to a cove only locals know. You decide how long to stay at each stop, and the captain adjusts the day around what actually appeals to you.

Lunch is entirely your call. You can book a table at a beach club in Formentera and eat ashore, order fresh paella delivered to the boat while you're anchored, or bring your own picnic and eat at sea. The boat carries SUP boards and snorkeling gear, so swimming and exploring the water is built in; WiFi and Bluetooth speakers are onboard, and there's a restroom. Your captain speaks English and Spanish and navigates based on conditions and your preferences, not a laminated schedule.

Is this one for you?Book this if you want a private boat where the route bends to your group's mood instead of a fixed schedule—the captain adapts based on conditions and what you actually feel like doing, so a lazy morning at one beach or a detour to a hidden cove doesn't throw off the day.
