Private Experience Full-day Sailing in Ibiza and Formentera
Description
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.

Itinerary
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

We loved, from the cove where we boarded, the boat a beautiful and very careful classic sailboat, Gabi our super professional captain, Formentera is paradise, and we also do not forget how Maria guided us with the whole process of booking and planning our day! Thank you all, we will repeat and highly recommend it.
Beautiful to be able to visit Formentera arriving by sailboat and upon our arrival we received our paella on board. Everything perfect!! :)
It's the second time I've been with them and the truth is unmatched. Captain Gabi is the best person you can find and the places are amazing. The sailboat is very well maintained and we sail with sails almost all the time. Super recommended
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Perfect, free parking for our car in the cove, private boat, lots of space with sun and shade, an amazing captain, explained us all the places where we passed, let us take the helm and climb the sails, toast with cava! We had reservation at Beso Beach and the captain took us to the same entrance in the speedboat, the best day of the holiday without any doubt! Recommended for groups and families, TOP!
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 !
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.
Super happy with our experience. Maria was lovely in the Reservation process and Gabi in our sailing day. Super nice landscapes, the cove in Formentera beautiful to bathe. Gabi is always attentive to make us spend an unforgettable day!
From the beginning Maria was super attentive in the Reservation process and the previous days, the day of departure advised us at all times to get the best of the sea and wind. Our captain was Gabi, he knew how to take us to corners of the island perfect for diving, paddleboarding and seeing spectacular scenery!! There is also the possibility of ordering a paella on board or disembarking in a cove to eat at a bar, we did it in Saona cove, Formentera. We also saw a nice sunset and even dolphins!! Highly recommended experience and always attentive Gabi made the day by boat the best thing about our trip to Ibiza. Wishing to repeat!!
From the moment we stepped on board, we knew this was going to be a special experience. Gabriel's knowledge of the islands made the trip extra special, taking us to secluded beaches that were absolutely stunning. The service was top-notch, and we felt like VIPs the entire time.
Amazing day out at sea! The captain knew all the hidden spots, away from the crowds, and made us feel super comfortable. The boat was clean and spacious, and we enjoyed some great snacks on board. Definitely a must-do!
Thanks for your kind review!! Hope to see you next year again in Ibiza, Formentera or our new destination Mallorca!! 💕
