7 Day Ibiza Yacht Charter Itinerary
A seven-day circuit pairs Ibiza's sunset-facing west coast and quieter northern coves with Formentera's pale-sand anchorages, returning to Eivissa after Espalmador.
YOUR PRIVATE IBIZA YACHT CHARTER, PLANNED AROUND THE SEA
Seven days by yacht reveal the full contrast of Ibiza and Formentera, from Es Vedrà at first light to Espalmador's protected shallows.
An Ibiza yacht charter itinerary works because many of the island’s most rewarding places face the water, while the short passages leave time for swimming, long lunches and evenings ashore. Over seven days, the route circles Ibiza from Eivissa through the west, north and east coasts before crossing to Formentera in the western Mediterranean. Late May, June and September are particularly strong booking windows: sea temperatures are comfortable, restaurants and beach clubs are operating, and anchorages are generally less compressed than in peak July and August. The captain will still adjust each leg around wind, swell, berth availability and local anchoring restrictions.
From Eivissa, the route opens beneath Es Vedrà at Cala d’Hort, then moves to Cala Tarida’s broad sandy bay and Sant Antoni de Portmany for the sunset along Ses Variades. The northern turn reaches Cala Xarraca’s red-rock shoreline and the sheltered inlets around Portinatx, before continuing down the east coast to Cala Llonga. The Ibiza to Formentera boat trip follows, with a first Formentera anchorage at cliff-framed Cala Saona and a final day at Espalmador, where S’Alga beach lies inside the Ses Salines protected landscape. The circuit closes with the short return across to Eivissa for disembarkation.
West Coast turns this route into a private Ibiza yacht charter rather than a fixed schedule. Your broker selects a hand-picked yacht for the party, confirms the practical range and berth plan with the captain, arranges VIP restaurant and beach-club reservations, and adapts meal times, water sports and nights ashore to your pace. Explore the broader Balearics yacht charter destination and browse yachts for charter before discussing cabin layout, cruising style and budget. Speak to a broker to shape the seven days around the experiences that matter to you.
The route begins beneath Bodrum Castle before turning east to the clear shallows of Orak Island. It then enters the Seven Islands area for pine-backed anchoring in Küfre Bay and continues to English Harbour, a protected inlet in the Gulf of Gökova. From there, the yacht rounds towards Datça town, known for its waterfront, old stone lanes and almond products, before reaching Bozburun, where traditional wooden gulets are still built. Selimiye Bay brings a quiet final evening beside the village quay, followed by the onward passage to Fethiye. This is classic blue cruise Turkey territory, suited to a crewed yacht or a traditional gulet cruise Turkey experience.
West Coast International matches the route to the yacht, not the yacht to a fixed schedule. Your broker selects from a hand-picked fleet, checks realistic passage times with the captain, arranges VIP restaurant and beach club reservations, and adapts each day around weather, swimming preferences and time ashore. Explore our Turkey yacht charter destination and yachts for charter before discussing the right motor yacht, sailing yacht, catamaran or gulet charter Turkey option for your party. Speak to a broker for a route that keeps the best anchorages while avoiding rushed or impractical legs.

Day 1 – Ibiza (Cala d'Hort)
Leave Eivissa and settle into the yacht during the roughly 10-nautical-mile run towards Ibiza’s south-west coast. The first swim is beneath the high outline of Es Vedrà, with Cala d’Hort providing a compact anchorage and a clear view of the islet. Lunch can be served on deck before a tender ride ashore, subject to sea state and landing conditions. As afternoon traffic thins, return to the water for paddleboarding or snorkelling. The captain may hold position for sunset or select a more protected nearby overnight anchorage if the swell enters the bay.
Day 2 – Ibiza (Cala Tarida)
A short northbound passage of about three nautical miles keeps the morning unhurried. Cala Tarida opens into a broad west-coast bay with pale sand, clear shallows and rocky edges suited to snorkelling. Swim before breakfast, then use the yacht’s paddleboards or tender to explore the smaller indentations around the bay. A relaxed lunch on board avoids the midday rush ashore; later, the crew can set up water toys in a safe area agreed by the captain. Stay for the changing light over the western horizon, then dine on deck or move to a sheltered mooring according to the forecast.
Day 3 – Ibiza (Sant Antoni de Portmany)
Round the west coast towards Sant Antoni de Portmany, normally less than an hour away for a cruising motor yacht from Cala Tarida. The bay gives the day a different tempo: a marina stop can replenish water and provisions, while guests go ashore for the Passeig de Ses Fonts or lunch near the harbour. Return on board for a late swim outside the busy central channels. In the evening, take the tender towards Ses Variades, the shoreline known for its open western sunset, before dinner on the aft deck or a reserved table ashore. Berthing should be booked early in high season.
Day 4 – Ibiza (Cala Xarraca / Portinatx)
Today brings the longest Ibiza coastal leg, approximately 13 nautical miles around the island’s north-western shoulder. Cala Xarraca is the first reward: a small bay edged by pine-covered slopes, reddish rock and transparent water. Anchor for a morning snorkel when conditions allow, then continue a few miles to the inlets around Portinatx. Lunch is best kept flexible, served on board between swims or followed by a tender landing for a walk near the village. The north coast is more exposed than the inner bays, so the captain will choose the final anchorage after assessing wind and swell rather than forcing a fixed overnight stop.
Day 5 – Ibiza (Cala Llonga)
Turn south-east for Cala Llonga, roughly nine nautical miles from Portinatx depending on the chosen northern anchorage. The deep inlet and surrounding wooded slopes create a calmer visual setting after the rugged north coast. Begin with coffee under way, arrive for a late-morning swim and spend the middle of the day using the yacht’s water toys away from marked bathing zones. Cala Llonga also gives easy tender access for a simple lunch ashore or a walk behind the beach. Back on board, the chef prepares dinner while the captain reviews the next day’s crossing to Formentera and the most suitable departure time.
Day 6 – Formentera (Cala Saona)
Cross from Ibiza’s east coast towards Formentera, a passage of roughly 18 to 22 nautical miles depending on the departure point and routing. Cala Saona sits on Formentera’s west side, a compact cove enclosed by low cliffs rather than an open beach. Arrive around midday, swim from the stern and take the tender ashore once the busiest day boats begin to leave. The cove is particularly well placed for sunset, with the light falling across the water towards Ibiza. Dinner can follow on board, while any overnight plan remains subject to anchoring rules, seabed protection and the captain’s assessment of the conditions.
Day 7 – Formentera (Espalmador)
Make an early five-to-six-nautical-mile run north to Espalmador, separated from Formentera by the shallow Es Pas channel. S’Alga beach is reached by boat and forms part of the protected Ses Salines Natural Park, so the crew will follow current buoy, anchoring and access controls. Spend the morning swimming over pale sand, kayaking close to the yacht and enjoying a final lunch on deck without rushing the setting. Afterwards, cross approximately eight nautical miles to Eivissa for disembarkation. The broker and captain will set the departure from Espalmador around the agreed handover time, marina traffic and the day’s wind.

west coast curates every detail of your itinerary
An itinerary on paper and an itinerary at sea are two different things. Weather shifts, a favourite restaurant is fully booked, a berth in the marina you wanted is gone by June. This is where a broker earns their place: West Coast International is a member of MYBA and ECPY, and every route we propose has been sailed, checked and refined with the captains and crews who run it.
For Ibiza and Formentera, that means timing Es Vedrà before the day traffic builds, securing a suitable berth in Sant Antoni, and planning Espalmador around protected-water rules and the conditions in Es Pas.
Your broker builds the charter around you, not the other way round: the yacht that fits your party, VIP reservations at restaurants and beach clubs that don’t answer the phone in August, provisioning to your tastes, and a single point of contact from first call to final disembarkation. Browse our charter yachts or speak with a West Coast broker — we reply within 12 hours.
7-day ibiza yacht charter itinerary
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Late May through June and September usually offers the best balance of warm weather, open restaurants and beach clubs, and less pressure on berths than peak summer. July and August bring the highest demand and busiest anchorages. The final route always depends on the forecast, particularly around Ibiza’s more exposed north coast and the crossing to Formentera.
Indicative weekly base rates can begin around €35,000–€60,000 for smaller crewed sailing yachts or catamarans, while larger motor yachts commonly start around €70,000 and can exceed €200,000. The actual quote depends on yacht, season and availability. Add the applicable Spanish VAT, plus an APA commonly set around 30–40% for fuel, food, berths and other operating expenses.
The proposed route embarks and disembarks in Eivissa, using a confirmed marina berth agreed in the charter contract and final itinerary. Eivissa is the practical gateway for the circuit because it provides direct access to Ibiza’s south-west coast and a short final return from Espalmador. Exact marina, boarding time and transfer details are confirmed by the broker before departure.
Yes. Every Ibiza boat charter is adjusted around guest preferences, yacht speed, berth availability and weather. The broker can add more time at Cala d’Hort, arrange a marina night in Sant Antoni, prioritise quieter anchorages in northern Ibiza or extend the Formentera stay. The captain retains final authority over navigation, safety, anchoring and any weather-related changes.
Most Ibiza legs are short: Cala d’Hort to Cala Tarida is about three nautical miles, Cala Tarida to Sant Antoni about five, and Portinatx to Cala Llonga about nine. The longer passages are Sant Antoni to the Cala Xarraca and Portinatx area at roughly 13 nautical miles, and Cala Llonga to Cala Saona at approximately 18–22 nautical miles.
Motor yachts suit guests who want faster transfers, more time at anchor and an easy Ibiza–Formentera crossing. Sailing yachts work well for travellers who value the passage itself, while catamarans provide generous deck space and a shallower draught for suitable anchorages. A broker should match the yacht’s range, stabilisation, cabin plan and water-toy inventory to the party.
The Charter Fee includes the exclusive use of the yacht, the services of the professional crew, crew wages and meals, yacht insurance, ship’s linen laundry, and all standard onboard equipment in working order. Operating expenses such as fuel, guest food and beverages, marina fees, local taxes, communications, and other charter-related expenses are not included and are covered through the Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA), together with any applicable VAT and delivery/redelivery fees.
A shorter charter can focus on Ibiza’s west coast and one Formentera stop, but it would usually omit northern Ibiza or reduce time ashore. Eight to ten days gives more flexibility for weather, a second Formentera night and slower passages. No verified four-day or ten-day Ibiza itinerary page currently exists on the site, so those variants should be commissioned before internal linking.
Yes, provided the yacht and daily plan suit the guests. Cala Tarida and Cala Llonga offer accessible swimming and water-sports time, while the short early legs limit long periods under way. Families should share children’s ages, swimming confidence and preferred cabin arrangement with the broker. The captain will choose safe anchorages and control tender and water-toy use.
They can be combined with Mallorca on a longer charter, but it is a genuine offshore passage rather than a quick extension. The distance from Ibiza to Mallorca is roughly 70 nautical miles depending on the chosen ports, so an eight-to-ten-day plan and a suitable yacht are preferable. Weather, yacht speed and embarkation logistics determine whether the combination is practical.
