The sailing trip was wonderful! It's a must while staying in Ibiza! Julian is friendly, knowledgeable and a great Skipper!
Great trip. We were traveling together as a family and had Pablo as our captain who took us to two beautiful corners on the island of Formentera. Great beaches, we could decide for ourselves whether we want to do things on the boat or whether we want to be driven to the beach. We were thus able to explore everything exactly jumping off the boat, snorkeling, swimming, exploring beaches and eating at the spots. A successful day, highly recommended.
Totally top experience. A relaxed day sailing and visiting amazing beaches. Julien a crack captain, worried that the whole group had a great time, that everything was “smooth sailing” and that the conversation flowed. He even invited us Mate during the return. Best day in Ibiza. Thank you!
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
I had a great time, Mr. Carlos was very kind. We had a problem with the boat and he knew how to solve it immediately. Thank you, Valen.
Carlos was an amazing skipper for my daughter an amazing experience too! Everything was perfect and exceptionally kind. I highly recommend the team
I highly recommend it. We stopped by a few places in Formentera, went swimming and paddle board. Super fun and beautiful. Carlo took good care of us. He was very friendly and easy going, willing to answer all our questions
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!
We were quite disappointed with our catamaran day to Formentera. We paid 270€ to 2 to just drop anchor in front of the passage between the island of S’espalmador and Formentera while the program planned to make a stop to forment beyond the beach of Ses ilieses. Moreover, a couple of young Englishmen had planned to land for lunch and ate nothing all day. Apart from some fruit in the morning on arrival, no drinks apart from still water, no aperitif, no meals: ok it was planned but on reflection: we could have taken the fast shuttle at 30€ or a fast catamaran which for 110€ offered paella at lunch (but we only knew afterwards). The first stop at Cape Forno is useless (there is nothing to see in the water ) and we would have much preferred to go further along Formentera. The icing on the cake was that our excursion had been booked for Friday and I received a text message at 10:30 pm telling me that finally it would be Saturday , the day we had already planned plenty of stuff. We haven’t even had a commercial move. In short, for the price, we hoped for better.
Had a great boat trip, everything was smooth. Kudos to captain Julian - super chill and attentive to detail. Seeing Ibiza from the sea is giving a whole new dimension in exploring/understanding the island. Highly recommended!
