Your sailboat rental in Ibiza and Formentera

Known for its iconic parties and lifestyle, Ibiza is the perfect place for you to start your sailboat rental. Set sail from San Antonio Marina, the only marina in western Ibiza. Here, you will find the renowned Café del Mar, where you can relax and have a cocktail before jetting off into the azure sea. From here, sail along the coast to Ibiza Town, stopping at various bays/calas along the way.

Whilst Ibiza Town is famous for its nightlife, it also is home to many historical and cultural landmarks. For example, there is a very well preserved fortress that has withstood many pirate attacks in the past. From the walls of the fortress you can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view over the strait between Ibiza and Formentera. Then, stroll through the narrow streets of the old town of Dalt Villa, which has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Want a sailing route around Ibiza? Start from Santa Eulària and then go onwards to Isla Tagomago (a private island, but with a public beach bar), followed by Cala San Vincente, Cala Portinatx, Cala Portinat, Port San Miguel, the Islas Margaritas and Cala Salada. From this point, you will be close to your sailboat charter base in San Antonio.

If you dream of escaping the hustle and bustle of Ibiza set sail from Ibiza Town or Ensenada de la Canal which are located on the southern tip of Formentera. From here, journey to the northern tip of Formentera which is only around 10 nautical miles away. Formentera is a scenically unique island. Its long, shallow sandy beaches with clear, turquoise-blue water invite you to relax, swim and snorkel.

Continue to the elongated bay of Ses Illetes, with perhaps the most beautiful beach on the northern tip of the island, where you will also find several restaurants. Further south, there is Cala Sahona and, to the east, Ensenada de Tramonta. Here you can drop anchor at Es Caló, a fishing village.
