Rent a Boat in Ibiza Without License: Choose Your Route

Four hours steering your own boat between Cala Comte, Cala Bassa and hidden coves

Rent an unlicensed boat in Ibiza without previous experience and navigate at your own pace for four hours. Choose between the western route to golden sand beaches and turquoise waters, or the northern route to secret coves and rock terraces. The boat holds up to six people, comes equipped with snorkeling gear and onboard music, and requires only a brief training session before you cast off from San Antonio Yacht Club.

The experience

You pick the boat, pick the route, and pick how long you stay at each cove. The western route takes you to Port des Torrent for a first swim, then Cala Bassa with its fine sand and pine-lined shores, and Cala Comte where the water turns deep blue and snorkeling reveals the underwater landscape. The northern route runs to Cala Gració, Es Caló des Moro (a quiet corner most visitors never reach), Punta Galera with its rock terraces and jumping spots, and Salty Cove ringed by green hills. You steer the whole time. The boat is steady and easy to handle, and the crew gives you a short briefing before you leave the San Antonio Yacht Club.

Snorkeling equipment sits on board, and the sound system plays music while you anchor. Petrol is included, so you only decide where to go and how long to linger. Groups up to six fit comfortably, making this work for families, friends traveling together, or couples who want the sea to themselves. Infants sit on an adult's lap. No special fitness level is required.

Operated by Charter For You

Is this one for you?The four-hour window gives you time to visit two or three coves without rushing, then return to San Antonio by early afternoon: leaving the rest of your day free for lunch, the beach or exploring the town. If you want a full-day boat experience or prefer a guided tour with a captain, look for a longer rental or a skippered charter instead.

Top questions

Can I really steer the boat if I've never done this before?

Yes. The boats are designed to be steady and easy to operate, and the crew gives you a brief training session at San Antonio Yacht Club before you depart. No license or previous experience is needed.

What's the difference between the western and northern routes?

The western route heads to golden sand beaches (Port des Torrent, Cala Bassa and Cala Comte) with calm, clear water ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The northern route reaches smaller, quieter coves like Es Caló des Moro and Salty Cove, plus Punta Galera with its dramatic rock formations and deeper water for jumping.

Is snorkeling equipment really included?

Yes. Snorkeling gear comes on board, so you can explore underwater whenever you anchor. Cala Comte and Punta Galera are particularly good for snorkeling.

How many people can fit in the boat?

The boat holds up to six people comfortably, making it suitable for families, friend groups or couples. Infants can sit on an adult's lap.

What happens if I run out of fuel or get lost?

Petrol is included in your booking, so you won't run out. The routes are straightforward and the coves are well-known. You're navigating between established anchoring spots, not open ocean.
