Formentera Day Trip by Sailboat from Ibiza: Snorkel Two Beaches

Sail to Formentera's boat-only beaches and snorkel in water so clear the sand floor stays visible.

A small-group sailboat day trip from Ibiza to Formentera includes snorkeling equipment, a seven-hour route to two beaches reachable only by boat, and a guide in English, Spanish or Italian. The dinghy ferries you to shore, and the boat carries paddleboards, restroom facilities and refreshments; infants sit on an adult's lap and all fitness levels are welcome.

The Experience

The sailboat leaves Ibiza and heads to Formentera's first stop—a beach accessible only by water, where the sand and shallows stay visible beneath you as you swim or snorkel. The second beach is a long stretch of white sand with water so clear it draws swimmers back year after year. Between the two, you move by dinghy from the boat to the shore, so no wading through deep water or scrambling over rocks; the crew handles the logistics. Snorkeling gear is on board and ready, and if you want to paddle instead, a SUP board is there too.

The day runs seven hours from departure to return. Bottled water, soda and snacks come with the booking; if you want a full meal, the second beach has restaurants within walking distance of where the dinghy lands. A restroom is on board, and a speaker plays music during the sail. The guide speaks English, Spanish or Italian, so the route and the stops are explained as you go. Infants travel free but sit on an adult's lap; the boat suits all fitness levels, and service animals are welcome.
