Snorkeling in Ibiza and Formentera: Private Boat Rental

A boat, snorkeling gear, and multiple Formentera beaches in one morning and afternoon

Rent a private boat for up to 10 passengers departing from Ibiza port for an 8-hour day exploring Formentera's beaches and snorkeling spots. Your captain navigates to the clearest waters while you snorkel at multiple stops, paddle on a stand-up board, and swim from the boat. Complimentary drinks, ice, snorkeling equipment and paddleboards are included.

The experience

The boat leaves Ibiza port with your group of up to 10 and heads to Formentera, where the captain takes you to several beaches and snorkeling spots across the day. You bring no gear (snorkeling equipment and stand-up paddleboards are already aboard), and the captain handles navigation to the corners of the islands where the water stays clearest. Drinks and ice come with the rental, so you're set for the full 8 hours without arranging supplies separately.

At each stop, you decide how long to stay in the water. Snorkel from the boat or swim between spots. Paddleboards let you explore shallower areas on your own terms. The captain knows which beaches work best depending on conditions and what your group wants to do, so the day shapes itself around where the water is calmest and the visibility is best.

The boat holds a maximum of 10 passengers, which means your group stays together without splitting across multiple vessels. Your captain speaks English or Spanish, so communication about timing, depth, and where to go next stays straightforward throughout the day.
