The perfect Ibiza day
An unforgettable day in Ibiza! One of the best experiences I’ve had during my time in Ibiza! Agustín is super fun, friendly and knowledgeable. He taught us so many interesting things and made the whole day even more special. The vibe on the boat was amazing, with such a lovely group of people. We discovered beautiful coves, enjoyed incredible views and, to top it all off, we even saw dolphins! 100% recommend this experience. If you’re in Ibiza, don’t miss the chance to go sailing with Agustín!

Amazing trip and views
We were 11 Ladies on board and had an amazing time! Two of us were pregnant. We did stand up paddling, snorkeling and jumped of the boat. Really enjoyed the ultra beautiful stops and felt very safe around friendly Julian, who is really an expert and very professional driving the boat. He was extremely comfortable and super enjoyable company. Everyone had a great time!!!! Thanks Julian

Unforgettable Sailing Adventure with Captain Julien – A Highlight of Our Trip!
We had an amazing time on this semi-private sailing tour from Ibiza to Formentera and Espalmador! From start to finish, everything about the experience exceeded our expectations. Captain Julien was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone on board feel comfortable and safe. The boat was clean, spacious, and perfect for a relaxed day on the water with a small group of fellow travelers. Some of the highlights for us included diving off the boat into the crystal-clear waters, swimming in quiet coves, and lounging on natural beaches that you can only reach by boat. Sailing with the engine off between Formentera and Ibiza was absolutely magical—peaceful, scenic, and a true “wow” moment. We loved the mix of adventure and relaxation. It felt like we had access to a secret side of Ibiza, far from the crowds. Be sure to bring your own food and drinks so you can enjoy lunch with a view on the deck! If you’re looking for a memorable day at sea with the perfect balance of exploration and chill time, this tour is it. Highly recommended—5 stars all the way!

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ibiza to Formentera & Espalmador Sailing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ibiza.
How much does Ibiza to Formentera & Espalmador Sailing cost?
+
Prices start at $103 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ibiza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ibiza to Formentera & Espalmador Sailing take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ibiza is not rushed.
Is Ibiza to Formentera & Espalmador Sailing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ibiza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ibiza to Formentera & Espalmador Sailing?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ibiza to Formentera & Espalmador Sailing suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ibiza to Formentera & Espalmador Sailing?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ibiza can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ibiza and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ibiza to Formentera & Espalmador Sailing start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ibiza within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ibiza?
+
On Outty we rank every Ibiza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ibiza Beach Hopping Cruise with Paddleboards, Drinks and Food 6h, Ibiza Pool Party and Club Tour including O Beach and Eden Club, 3 Hours All Inclusive Boat Trip Ibiza. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ibiza?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ibiza?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What happens to Ibiza to Formentera & Espalmador Sailing if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Ibiza. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What do travelers say about Ibiza to Formentera & Espalmador Sailing?
+
Across 39 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5, recurring themes include photo opportunities, knowledge and storytelling, the guide. The views and photo stops come up again and again.
