Highlights

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

  1. 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.

    15 min

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    Passes by

  4. 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.

    2 h

  5. 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.

    2 h

  6. 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.

About Ibiza

Ibiza is a Balearic island of pine-covered hills, a walled old town, quiet coves and white villages, as well as a long-standing club scene.

Ibiza Town's old quarter, Dalt Vila, climbs inside a ring of Renaissance walls and is listed by UNESCO, with a hilltop cathedral and lanes of whitewashed houses. The harbour below holds the fishermen's quarter of Sa Penya and the marina. Founded by Phoenician settlers, the island has long been a stopover for sailors, and the hippy colony of the 1960s still shapes its market and craft culture.

Top-ranked sights in Ibiza: Cala Bassa, Cala Comte, Es Vedranell and Western Inlets.
