Boat & Yacht Hire in Ibiza

Located in Marina Botafoch near Ibiza Town (Eivissa) and boasting one of the largest fleets of private boats for hire in Ibiza and Formentera, Smart Charter are busy all summer long. There are over 50 different vessels to choose from for boat rental, including Sunseeker Predators, a Leopard 90, and a Princess V58. Take your chosen boat over to Formentera for the day, with an on-board catered feast provided and cold drinks served all day long; sail around the majestic island of Es Vedrà, just off Ibiza’s southwest coast; or rent a boat with a skipper at the helm and head out onto the Mediterranean for a few days of sea-based adventure. Pure Balearic bliss.

One of Ibiza’s most trusted boat rental and yacht charter companies, Boats Ibiza have been making Mediterranean dreams come true for years. That’s partly because drinks are included with almost all Ibiza boat hire, but it’s also because they offer great itineraries, off-boat watersports, and excellent service, all amounting to the perfect Balearic day. The team are happy to organise a day charter; to cater for hen and stag parties, or to sail you to multiple coves and calas that provide unbeatable views of Ibiza’s beautiful coastline. Each highly trained skipper knows Ibiza inside out, which means they can deliver you to the shores of the island’s best beaches and the doors of the best beach clubs with ease. Based in Marina Ibiza near Ibiza Town, they’re also centrally located so it’s simple to hop over to Formentera for the day.

You never really know a place until you’ve seen it from a different perspective – until you’ve stepped away from the paths and beaches that you know intimately and viewed them afresh. That’s why a day on board a boat or yacht is the best way to really get to know the white isle. From the sea, you’ll see how the rocks have been moulded and shaped over time by various different forces, how the crystal-clear water glistens differently from on deck, and how Ibiza’s cliffs seem somehow more imposing looking up from sea level. And all this means that boat rental and yacht hire are essential components to any Ibiza holiday.
There are various boat and yacht companies situated all along Ibiza’s coastline – Ibiza Town (Eivissa), San Antonio (Sant Antoni de Portmany), and Santa Eulalia (Santa Eularia) have the largest ports and it’s here that the majority of boat and yachts are docked. From here, hop on a boat charter (sail boat, catamaran, motorboat) and head out to explore the beaches and calas that are dotted along the iconic west coast. Hire a skipper as well and you can stay out long enough to watch the famous Ibiza sunset – a must-do from the water. It’s also worth heading to Es Vedrà, the limestone monolith jutting out from the seabed near Cala d’Hort, widely proclaimed to be the third most magnetic place on earth, it looks even more magical close up.
It’s worth taking your Ibiza boat on an excursion to the northern coastline too. Here you’ll find beaches like Benirras, where bongo drummers convene every Sunday to beat the sun beneath the horizon. Beaches like Portinatx are also popular, as well as hard-to-reach coves like Es Portitxol, which may take an hour or two to reach if you attempt it on foot.
And it isn’t a proper Balearic boat day until you’ve taken your sail boat, catamaran or motorboat over to Ibiza’s little sister island, Formentera. With white sandy beaches and gin-clear waters more akin to the Caribbean than the Mediterranean, they’re unlike anywhere you will have seen in Europe. Hop off for a swim in the spectacularly buoyant waters, or head to land for a long lunch at one of the pristine beach clubs – Formentera has to be seen to be believed.
