Boat Rental in Ibiza

With so many world-class beaches lining its coast, Ibiza is a prime location to rent a boat and begin your exploration journey. Surrounded by tiny islets and neighboring islands, there are hundreds of great spots to find when you have the freedom and versatility of traveling by boat. Quick and comfortable beach hopping is one massive plus for renting a boat in Ibiza, but it's not the only reason to take to the sea. If you venture out with one of the island's more informed boat skippers, they are sure to show you some secret spots to swim and snorkel, places where you can meet the rich marine life that calls the waters their home. Dolphins, turtles, and seahorses are among the many creatures hanging out below the waves. Should you manage to pry yourself away from the crowds for a few hours and go off the beaten path in Ibiza, you are sure to be rewarded. Renting a boat in Ibiza is a great way to achieve this and make the most of your time on the island.

Renting a motor boat in Ibiza is a sure-fire way to ensure that you can travel between the best beaches that the island offers, quickly and comfortably. Although fun is abundant, affordable public join-in tours leaving the island at all times of the day, there is something to be said for private boat hires, especially during peak season. You can be looking to pay around $200 a day for a smaller speed boat that will whizz you around the island's best features with no problem, or upwards of $500 for a larger, skippered speed boat rental in Ibiza. It's worth noting that hiring the larger boats will allow you to use their onboard facilities, such as sun loungers, cabins, and water sports gear like snorkels and paddleboards.

Catamarans are the perfect way to explore the Balearic Islands in style. These stunning, spacious boats have plenty of room for passengers and are an unbelievably expedient way of traversing the island's beaches. Furthermore, catamarans are the boat of choice when it comes to sunset cruises, offering a comfortable spot for you to watch some of the most dramatic sunsets on Earth, sangria in hand. When renting a catamaran in Ibiza, you will choose either one equipped with sails or a motor-powered "Power Cat." Renting a power catamaran will allow you to explore at high speeds, without the dependency on wind direction, so you can make the most of your seafaring adventures. Sailing catamarans, on the other hand, don't require stops to refuel. Catamaran rentals in Ibiza can cost between $500 to $1000 depending on whether it is crewed and the facilities onboard. However, much like the boat rental options, catamarans are often used to join-in sunset tours for around $100 and sometimes include delicious Mediterranean food.

Due to Ibiza's popularity and its gorgeous azure seascapes, hundreds of busy boat tours leave Ibiza every day. These tours are often a cheaper alternative to renting the boat yourself, although you will be following the tour operators' itinerary. Given Ibiza's legendary nightlife, many of these tour boats are outfitted with bars, and the passengers are offered refreshments while on the move. The most common type of boat tour in Ibiza is a beach-hopping tour to several of the island's most attractive beaches. Other trips will take passengers out to Formentera, the neighboring island, to sample its exceptional beaches. Boat tours in Ibiza can be great fun and often include swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and other exciting activities. However, private boat rental is recommended for those looking to make the most of Ibiza adventures.

There are many fantastic things to see and do in Ibiza, and renting a boat for a day is a great way to check a good few off the list. One of the many unmissable places to see around Ibiza is Es Vedra. Located to the southwest of Ibiza, this rocky, uninhabited island stands an impressive 413 meters tall and is said to leave first-time viewers in a state of speechless awe. Es Vedra also happens to be one of the best places near the island to watch the sunset, and as evening draws in, it's not uncommon to see all manner of private boat rentals flocking to the rock. For those that want to spend some time in the water, we suggest heading over to Cala Xaracca. This expansive, sandy bay boasts some of the island beaches' clearest water and is extremely popular among snorkeling enthusiasts and photographers alike. The beach is located next to naturally occurring mud-baths, so those that aren't in it for marine exploration may be able to sort themselves a free spa treatment.

Day trips on your rented boat are fantastic, but they all share one massive drawback; they end after a day! Don't let that be the case as there are so many fantastic vessels with overnight capabilities and allowing you to rent a boat for the weekend in Ibiza. Weekend trips are where the rental catamarans stand out, as they offer unmatched comfort and luxury to groups making overnight trips. Spend your evening relaxing with friends, eating paella and refreshing yourself with a chilled glass of rosé, or divide your group up and cruise the islands as a mini flotilla. A voyage well worth making would be across to Formentera, the smallest of the Balearic islands. Formentera is a world away from busy Ibiza and is known for its sandy beaches, rolling dunes, and distant pine trees. The island is very popular for snorkeling and sailing activities, bound to be good fun on a swift and maneuverable catamaran.

The party spirit in Ibiza is world-renowned, with music filling the air at all hours and crowds of wide-eyed revelers filling up the popular clubs and bars. Ibiza is a party person's paradise, and the parties don't get much livelier than one of Ibiza's famous boat parties. Most party boats are available for private rental. They will take you out into the Balearic's beautiful azure waters, with onboard bars (some of which are open!) and loads of water sports activities to enjoy. Ibiza party boat rentals last around 5 hours and have water sports equipment and welcome drinks included. With most of the popular bars keeping the action going until the early hours, there's plenty of time to enjoy your function before setting off for more adventures ashore. Given the care-free, party-hardened spirits that Ibiza attracts, you will have no shortage of potential names for your boat party guest list.
