Snorkeling in Ibiza: Private Boat Charter with SUP

Swim and paddle from a restored wooden boat built for the Mediterranean

A private full-day snorkeling charter in Ibiza aboard Aruna, a lovingly refurbished traditional Balearic boat, with captain and deckhand included. You choose between the scenic west coast or hidden northern coves, stopping at magical spots to snorkel and paddle on two new SUP boards. Drinks, snorkeling gear and a bathing platform are on board. Bring your own food or arrange a restaurant reservation through the crew.

The experience

How do you pick between the west coast and the north? Jaime, the captain, decides based on the sea conditions the morning of your charter. The west coast route runs along the island's most scenic stretches. The north takes you to smaller, less-visited coves where the water stays calm longer into the day. Either way, the boat stops at the best snorkeling spots Jaime knows, and you spend the afternoon in the water with the equipment already on board: no rental shop, no extra gear to track.

Aruna is a working boat, not a floating lounge. She has a large bathing platform that drops straight into the water, a spacious sunbathing deck, two fridges, and a bathroom. The crew (Jaime and Krysia) run the boat and handle the stops. You show up and swim. Two new SUP boards sit ready if you want to paddle instead of snorkel, or switch between the two. A bottle of cava, beers, and fresh water come with the day. Food is not included, so bring what you want or ask the crew to book a restaurant reservation on one of the islands you'll pass.

Eight hours on the water means you leave early and return with time left in the afternoon. The boat holds your group alone: no strangers, no schedule beyond what works for your pace. Captain and fuel are included in the price, so there are no surprises when you step off.

Is this one for you?The full eight hours means an early start and a late return, so book this if your day is flexible and you want to spend most of it in the water rather than rushing between stops. The boat is private to your group, so the pace and the stops follow what you want to do, not a fixed itinerary.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the difference between the west coast and north routes?

The west coast follows the island's most scenic stretches and is typically chosen when conditions allow for longer exposure to open water. The north route reaches smaller, quieter coves and tends to offer calmer conditions later in the day. Jaime picks the route based on the sea state on the morning of your charter.

Can I bring my own food, or do I need to eat at a restaurant?

You're welcome to bring your own food and eat on board. If you prefer, Jaime and Krysia can arrange a restaurant reservation on one of the islands you visit during the day.

What snorkeling equipment is provided?

Snorkeling gear is included on board, so you don't need to bring your own or rent separately. Two new SUP boards are also available if you want to paddle instead of or in addition to snorkeling.

How many people can the boat hold?

Aruna is chartered privately, so it's just your group. The boat has a large bathing platform, a spacious sunbathing deck, two fridges and a bathroom for your use throughout the day.

What drinks are included?

A bottle of cava, beers, refreshments and water are included on board. You can bring additional drinks if you prefer.
