The experience

The boat leaves San Antonio heading south past the Port des Torrent quarry, where rock islands and cliffs rise from the water, then sails through clear shallows toward Cala Conta. The first long stop anchors you in front of one of its beaches: turquoise water, white sand, the kind of cove that photographs itself. Here you choose: snorkel the marine life below, paddle a board along the coast, or stay on deck with a drink and watch the water change color as the sun moves. The crew brings out tapas and fruit between swims.

From Cala Conta the boat heads toward Torre del Pirata, passing Cala Rodja, a wild rock cove reachable only by water, then continues to Cala Bassa on the west side. This is another long stop in one of the most photographed coves on the island: time to cool off again, or to rest if you've spent the morning in the water. The bar stays open the whole time. On the way back, the boat enters Cueva del Amor, one of the largest sea caves on Ibiza, before returning to San Antonio.

Paddle boards and snorkel gear are included and waiting on board. No rental fees, no separate booking. The open bar runs to wine, beer and sangria, plus sodas and bottled water. Restrooms are on the boat. The guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French and one additional language, so the stops and the safety briefing are clear. Children can come: infants travel in a pram or stroller, and the crew is used to families.

Is this one for you?This is a shared boat tour, so you are with other travelers, but the long anchors at each cove mean you control your own pace in the water: snorkel as much or as little as you want, or skip it entirely and rest on deck. Choose it if you want the equipment and the stops arranged but the freedom to move at your own speed once the boat is anchored.
