Ibiza is the day-charter capital of the Mediterranean and a weekly base for the Pityusic islands: the marinas of Ibiza town — Marina Botafoch, Marina Ibiza and the port under Dalt Vila — hold motorboats for Formentera and the south-coast calas, and sailing yachts and catamarans for a week round both islands. Formentera’s Ses Illetes beach is forty minutes to an hour away; the airport is fifteen.
July and August double the marina fees and fill the buoy fields, which are booked online; June and September have the same water at half the price. Posidonia is protected everywhere and the rangers check.

Getting there
By air. Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is about 8 km from the town marinas — 15 minutes by taxi, with direct flights from across Europe in season. By ferry. Ferries from Barcelona, Denia, Valencia and Palma land in Ibiza port beside the marinas.
Ibiza before you cast off
Dalt Vila, the walled upper town, rises directly above the port; the Sa Penya and La Marina quarters below it are the evening. Es Vedrà, the rock off the south-west coast, and the hippy market at Las Dalias are the island stops; Formentera is the destination.
Supermarkets near the marinas and the Mercat Nou; the marinas have chandlers, shops and fuel docks.

Can I take a boat out for just one day?
Yes — 19 boats here accept a single-day booking, and 20 take two days. A day rate is quoted for the specific boat and date, so pick your day on the boat’s own page and the price comes back live.
What is not in the price?
The figure is for the boat. Transit log, tourist tax and the APA are mandatory, set per boat, and paid at the base. Skipper, hostess, extra equipment and other services are optional and also settled at the base.
Why do some boats show no price?
6 of the 52 boats in Ibiza are on request — usually larger or crewed yachts, where the rate depends on the week and the crew. They are left out of every figure above.
How far is the airport from Ibiza?
The nearest airport is Ibiza Airport (IBZ), under 10 km away as the crow flies; Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI) is about 135 km. Transfer times by road are longer; most charter companies arrange a transfer to the base on request.
Do I need a licence to charter bareboat in Spain?
For a sailing yacht or a larger motorboat, yes: Spain accepts most national skipper licences, checked at handover, though the rules are applied differently from port to port. Small motorboats under 15 hp can be hired without one. Without a licence, a skipper is booked as an extra on the boat page.
What day do charters start?
Weekly charters run Saturday to Saturday: handover in the late afternoon and return to the base the evening before check-out at 9:00. Day charters start in the morning from the same pontoons.
Can we anchor anywhere in the Balearics?
No — posidonia seagrass is protected across the islands, so anchoring is on sand patches or the buoy fields (booked online), and the rangers check. Fines for anchoring on seagrass are real.
How far is Formentera from Ibiza?
Ses Illetes and the Espalmador lagoon are 10–12 nm from Ibiza town — under an hour by motorboat, two hours under sail — which is why it is the day-charter destination.
