Formentera & Ibiza Catamaran Tour: Small Group SailingA full-day catamaran sailing tour from Ibiza to Formentera for up to twelve travelers, with stops at Esplamador beach and Ses Illetes Beach for swimming, snorkeling and paddleboarding. The captain picks you up by zodiac from Ses Salines beach in Ibiza, sails the Formentera coast, and anchors at each stop so you can swim, walk the beach or use the SUP boards and snorkeling gear. You can bring your own food and use the boat's freezer, or the captain will help you book a restaurant ashore on the day.Is it for me?Most Ibiza boat tours run large groups to the same two beaches everyone knows. This catamaran takes twelve people to Formentera's quieter coves and Ses Illetes, anchors close enough that you control how much time you spend in the water or on the sand, and gives you the boat's freezer and the captain's restaurant connections so a full day doesn't hinge on packing or planning ahead.
