Description

Context Ibiza, in the Balearic Islands, is a Mediterranean destination known for its crystal-clear waters and coves accessible only by sea. Recreational sailing here offers the chance to discover protected marine landscapes and fine-sand beaches ideal for those seeking direct connection with the sea. The season runs from April to October, when winds are gentle and the sea is calm.

The Experience You can rent everything from small boats that don’t require a license to yachts with cabins and a skipper. After a brief training session for non-licensed vessels, you’ll sail routes like Ibiza-Formentera or Cala Bassa–Cala Conta, anchoring in secluded coves perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The salty breeze and smell of sea spray accompany every journey, while the soft hum of the engine sets the pace of your voyage.

For Whom This activity suits small groups of family or friends with little sailing experience, as long as they have a license or a skipper. It’s also ideal for licensed sailors seeking independence. Not recommended for complete beginners without a skipper, or for those seeking physically demanding activities.

Local Context Ibiza blends its fishing heritage with modern nautical tourism. Ports in San Antonio and Santa Eulalia del Río are key hubs for boat rentals, where local companies provide training and advice to ensure safe and respectful navigation in protected marine zones.
