About this experience
Most boats in Ibiza take you to the same spots, on the same schedule, with people you've never met. Bora Sailing is different: Your 43ft private sailboat fits up to 7 guests and is set up for comfort, with shaded areas, cushions on deck, and everything you need for a full day at sea. Your captain, Gabi or Marco, has navigated these waters for over 10 years. They'll take you to hidden coves, local spots, and the best corners of Formentera that most tourists never find. Swim at Ses Illetes, explore Espalmador, anchor at Playa de Levante, or let the captain surprise you. The route adapts to your group, the conditions, and what you actually feel like doing that day. Lunch is your call: beach club in Formentera, fresh paella delivered onboard, or your own picnic at anchor. No crowds. No fixed itinerary. Just a private day on the Mediterranean, done right.

What you'll see and do
Our trip begins in Cala Porroig, a quiet natural bay surrounded by traditional fishermen’s huts and clear Mediterranean waters. It’s the perfect starting point for a relaxing day at sea.
15 minutes here
Torre de ses Portes
We’ll sail close to Torre de ses Portes, an 18th century watchtower overlooking the sea. From the boat, you’ll enjoy beautiful views of this iconic spot on Ibiza’s coastline.
Pass by without stopping
S'Espalmador
We’ll sail by S'Espalmador, a small protected island with turquoise waters and white sandy beaches. Once privately owned, the island was famous for its natural mud baths, believed by locals to have healing properties. From the boat, you’ll enjoy beautiful views of this peaceful spot between Ibiza and Formentera.
Pass by without stopping
Playa de Ses Illetes
We’ll make our first stop at Ses Illetes, often ranked among the best beaches in Europe. It feels almost untouched, with incredibly soft white sand and calm, crystal-clear water that looks more Caribbean than Mediterranean. It’s part of a protected natural park, which is why it has kept its simple, natural beauty over the years.
120 minutes here
If there’s still time, depending on the group’s route, we can also visit Playa de Levante. It’s a long, open beach facing the wild side of the island, with dunes and shallow waters that change with the wind. Because of its natural exposure, it always feels a bit more rugged and quiet than the western beaches of Formentera.
120 minutes here
Es Pujols
The distribution of time and stops depends on the group’s preferences, and this is one of the options that can be included in the tour: Es Pujols, a relaxed seaside village with easy access to the beach, a pleasant promenade, and clear shallow waters ideal for a swim or a short stroll.

Great Day

Great sailing experience on the beautiful Mediterranean.
Brilliant day out and a lovely experience for people whom sailing is an uncommon experience. Our Skipper was an absolute gent, kind and considerate with children and elderly lady. Communication with the operators was fast and friendly. We had a family of 5 and thankfully no one else joined our group so we had the boat to ourselves. We had a great time, my advice would, get there as early as possible so you don’t waste any time. It takes a little longer than you would think to get to Formentera, which is stunning. The restaurant is first class but expensive. Tip your skipper !

A Great Day at Sea!
An excellent sailing day on board with Captain Gabriel, who was super friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately the weather had other ideas but Captain Gabriel did his very best to make our day onboard as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Would highly recommend.

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Experience Full-day Sailing in Ibiza and Formentera: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ibiza.
How much does Private Experience Full-day Sailing in Ibiza and Formentera cost?
+
Prices start at $680 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 Private Experience Full-day Sailing in Ibiza and Formentera take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private Experience Full-day Sailing in Ibiza and Formentera worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 78 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Ibiza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Experience Full-day Sailing in Ibiza and Formentera?
+
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 Private Experience Full-day Sailing in Ibiza and Formentera suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Experience Full-day Sailing in Ibiza and Formentera?
+
Around 27 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Experience Full-day Sailing in Ibiza and Formentera 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 - Xarraca Bay- Kayaking Tour MultiActivity snorkel,caves, 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.
