Rental FAQs

No. Every charter we run is private and comes with a professional skipper, so no qualification is required from anyone in your group. That is true of all 21 boats, from the smallest speedboat to the 30-metre Leopard 107. You do not need sailing experience, an ICC, a Spanish licence or anything else. Bring a passport or ID for the paperwork at the marina and the skipper takes care of the rest, including the route, the anchoring and the weather call.

Twelve is the maximum number of guests a yacht may carry on a commercial day charter in Spain, so no boat you charter here will be licensed for more, however large it is. That is why our fleet is built around groups of seven to twelve rather than crowds. The Leopard 107 is 30 metres long and still takes twelve guests, the same as a 24-metre boat. If there are more than twelve of you, the answer is a second boat: we run them together, anchor them side by side and the two groups spend the day as one.

Included, always, in the price you are quoted. Every boat leaves with a licensed skipper who works these waters all season and knows where the wind will be at three in the afternoon. The larger yachts carry additional crew as well, again inside the rate. There is no self-drive or bareboat option here and no skipper surcharge added at the dock, which is the single most common hidden cost elsewhere.

Full days start at €1,699 in low season for the Pardo 39, a 13-metre speedboat that takes eight guests, and run to €17,999 in high season for the Leopard 107, our 30-metre superyacht. In between sit 19 more boats: speedboats broadly €1,699 to €4,200, motor yachts €3,300 to €7,400 and superyachts €5,900 upwards. Every one of those figures is for a full eight-hour private charter with crew, insurance and Spanish VAT already included. Only fuel is added afterwards.

Low season is May and October, mid season is June and September, and high season is July and August. The gap is real but not wild. The Pardo 39 runs €1,699 low, €1,999 mid and €2,399 high. The Leopard 107 runs €13,999 low, €14,799 mid and €17,999 high. If your dates are flexible, the first week of June and the last week of September buy you most of the July weather at close to the shoulder price.

Crew, insurance, complimentary towels, snorkels, Spanish VAT at 21 per cent and the full eight hours on the water. Most boats of forty feet and above also carry drinks, snacks, fresh fruit and a paddleboard; the exact list is on each boat's own page. What is not included is fuel, which is metered and settled on the day, and anything you add on purpose: catering, extra water toys, a restaurant stop. Those are quoted before you book, never after.

Because usage varies enormously between a slow day in the coves north of Ibiza and a fast run to Formentera and back. Metering it means you pay for the route you actually took rather than a padded average built into the headline rate. The skipper records consumption over the charter and it is settled at the end of the day. Ask us before you book and we will give you a realistic fuel estimate for the boat and the route you have in mind.

Yes. Spanish VAT at 21 per cent is already inside every price on this site, so the figure on the boat page is the figure on your invoice. It is worth checking this when you compare quotes: a price shown before VAT looks 21 per cent cheaper than it is, and on a €6,000 charter that is a €1,260 difference discovered late.

Divide the day rate by your group. The Pardo 39 at €1,699 across eight guests is roughly €212 each before fuel. The Leopard 107 at €13,999 across twelve is about €1,167 each. Because the price is per boat and not per head, a full group is always better value than a half-empty one, which is the opposite of how a ticketed party boat prices the same day.

Eight hours, starting at a time of your choosing between 10:00 and 13:00. Most groups leave around 11:00, which puts you at Formentera before the lunchtime crowd and back into the marina in the early evening light. Sunset departures fall outside that window and are arranged separately, so tell us if that is what you want and we will quote it as its own thing.

Marina Ibiza is our base and where almost every charter starts and finishes. It is a few minutes from Ibiza Town and straightforward to reach by taxi. Arrive a little before your departure time, meet the skipper on the pontoon and you are away. If your day is planned around a different part of the island, tell us when you enquire and we will say what is workable rather than promise it first.

Yes, and most groups do. The crossing takes well under an hour on any boat in the fleet, which leaves the rest of the day for Ses Illetes, Espalmador and the coves along the north shore. There is no supplement for going, only the fuel the crossing uses. On the faster boats you can be anchored off Formentera inside forty minutes of leaving the marina.

The day is yours. You can plan it in advance with us, or arrive with nothing decided and let the skipper build it around the wind, which is usually the better day. Common shapes are Formentera and back, the western coves around Cala Bassa and Cala Conta, or a slower loop north with a long lunch stop. The one thing that overrides your plan is the weather, and only for safety.

Either bring your own or leave it to us. There is a fridge or cool box on board, and most boats of forty feet and above carry drinks, snacks, fresh fruit and a paddleboard already. Beyond that we add paddleboards, kayaks, Seabobs and jet skis on request, though availability depends on the boat, so ask about the specific one you are looking at. We also arrange catering to the boat or a table at a beach club so you step ashore for lunch and back on afterwards. Anything added is quoted before you book, never after.

July and August are the busiest weeks on the island, so if your date is fixed message us early and we will tell you what is genuinely still open. Outside those months there is usually more room, and we do take short-notice charters when a boat is free. To confirm, send the date and group size by WhatsApp or the enquiry form, we check the boat, and you get the terms for that boat and date in writing before anything is paid.

A charter is confirmed on receipt of full payment. If you prefer to split it, a deposit of fifty per cent confirms your date and the balance is paid on arrival at the marina. Fuel is metered separately and invoiced on the day, as explained above.

The skipper assesses conditions on the morning of the charter. If the day would be unpleasant or unsafe, we contact you before anyone leaves the berth and agree an alternative: a later start, a sheltered route on the other side of the island, or another date. We would rather move a booking than hand you a bad day on the water, and in practice a change of route solves most of it.
