Boat Rental Ibiza

Charter a yacht with a licensed captain — from Formentera to Es Vedrà, from beach clubs to hidden coves. The Mediterranean's most iconic island, on the water.

Why charter a boat in Ibiza?

Ibiza on land is one experience. Ibiza on the water is another entirely. The island reveals itself by sea — turquoise coves you can't reach by road, beach clubs that exist for arriving yachts, and a sister island (Formentera) that most visitors only see if they have a boat.

The Ibiza-Formentera coastline holds more swimming spots, anchorages, and cliffside lunch stops than any single trip can cover. A morning at Cala Salada with snorkels, lunch at Juan y Andrea on Ses Illetes (Formentera), sunset cocktails anchored next to Es Vedrà — that's a typical full day, and you've barely scratched the surface of what's possible.

Splash Rides connects you with verified local captains who know which coves stay calm in north winds, which beach clubs require a reservation, and which routes hit the best sunset light. Browse boats, message the captain, and book — all from the app.

Most-booked Ibiza day trips

Formentera

The classic. 30-40 min south to Ses Illetes beach, lunch at Juan y Andrea or Beso Beach, swimming at Espalmador. Often the single best day of any Ibiza trip.

Es Vedrà

The mystical rock off Ibiza's southwest tip. Cliff-side anchorages, deep blue water, and unforgettable sunset light. Combine with Cala d'Hort beach.

Cala Salada & Cala Saladeta

Twin coves on the northwest coast. Crystal water, pine-shaded shore, accessible only by boat or steep walk. Best swimming on the island.

Cala Comte & Cala Bassa

West-coast favorites. Cala Comte for sunset (the most photographed sunset in Ibiza), Cala Bassa Beach Club for music and lunch.

Blue Marlin Ibiza (Cala Jondal)

Iconic beach club on the south coast. Boats anchor offshore, tender to the beach. Reservation required, especially in July-August.

Northern coast (Portinatx, Cala Xarraca)

Quieter, more dramatic landscape. Hidden coves, fewer crowds, great for groups who want to escape the south-side scene.

Ibiza boat rental FAQ

How much does it cost to rent a boat in Ibiza?
Ibiza boat rentals on Splash Rides start around €300/half-day for small motorboats and run to €2,500-€6,000/day for luxury yachts. Mid-range options (sport boats 35-45ft) typically cost €1,000-€2,000/day. Fuel and captain are usually included; food, drinks, and dock fees may be separate.
What's the best day trip from Ibiza?
Formentera is the classic day trip — 30-40 minutes by boat across to Playa de Ses Illetes (one of Europe's top beaches), Espalmador for the natural mud baths, and beach club lunch at Beso Beach or Juan y Andrea. Other popular routes: Es Vedrà rock for swimming and sunset, Cala Salada and Cala Comte for snorkeling, and the cliff-jumping coves on the north coast.
Do I need a license to rent a boat in Ibiza?
Not when you book with a captain on Splash Rides — the captain operates the vessel. Spanish law (PER, Patrón de Embarcaciones de Recreo) is only required if you want to operate the boat yourself, and even then only for vessels over a certain size.
When is the best time to charter a yacht in Ibiza?
The Ibiza boating season runs May to October. June and September are sweet spots — warm water, fewer crowds, lower prices. July and August are peak (and most expensive); book 2-4 weeks ahead. Off-season (November-April) most charters pause, though a few operators run year-round on calm days.
Can I dock at Ibiza beach clubs by boat?
Yes — many of Ibiza's iconic beach clubs are best accessed by boat. Blue Marlin (Cala Jondal), Cala Bassa Beach Club, Experimental Beach (Es Cavallet), and Juan y Andrea (Formentera) all have anchorage zones with tender service to the beach. Make reservations in advance, especially for July-August.
