Meeting point
Once you arrive to Es Xarcó, walk to the shore, and you will meet your BORA SAILING captain at the stone dock who will take you to the sailboat!
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
15 min
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.
Torre de ses Portes
Pass by
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.
S'Espalmador
Pass by
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.
Playa de Ses Illetes
120 min
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 min
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.
Es Pujols
120 min
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.

Best day sailing !!
Here’s a lovely, warm review that captures your experience:
An absolutely incredible day sailing from Ibiza to Formentera with Gabi as our captain! ☀️⛵
From start to finish, everything was perfect. Gabi was fantastic, so welcoming, accommodating, and attentive to everything we wanted. He designed the day around us, allowing us to truly relax, chill, and enjoy every moment.
The atmosphere was wonderful, the scenery breathtaking, and the sunset was simply magical. It was the perfect combination of relaxation, beautiful surroundings, and an unforgettable experience.
Thank you, Gabi,and Marcos for making our day so special. Without a doubt, one of the best days ever! We couldn’t recommend this experience more highly.

Great day out with family
We had a lovely day out with our captain Gabriel. We had lunch at Tanga - which was decent. Visited a lovely beach and did some snorkelling. Highly recommend. Access to the bay where we were picked up is tricky due to uneven road so allow plenty of time if driving.

Excellent ship, Captain 10/10
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

VERY TOP the best way to get to Beso Beach!
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!

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 !
