Bora Vida Sailing

About us

A more personal way to experience Ibiza and Formentera by sailboat.

Bora Sailing was built for guests who want the beauty of the Balearics without the noise, rush, or generic tour-operator feeling that often comes with summer on the islands.

Who we are

A sailing business built by people who genuinely live around the water.

Bora Sailing is part of Bora Vida SL and started with a simple conviction: the best day on the water usually feels effortless from the guest side. Clear planning, the right captain, and a route that responds to the day matter more than adding more noise or more stops.

Behind the business is a small team that genuinely lives around the sea. Marco has sailed thousands of miles across the Atlantic, Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Pacific. Maria shaped Bora’s warm guest experience from the beginning. Gabriel brings the calm, easy confidence guests remember most after the day ends.

That combination is what Bora tries to protect: real experience on the water, honest guidance, and a private day at sea that feels relaxed, well cared for, and far from mass-produced.

Co-Founder

Maria helped define Bora’s tone from the beginning: warm, attentive, and easy to deal with from the first message. She is a big part of why the experience feels personal before guests even step onto the boat.

Captain Gabriel onboard Bora Sailing

Gabriel Scantamburlo

Captain

Gabriel is the captain many guests mention by name in their reviews. He knows how to keep the day calm, flexible, and comfortable while guiding people toward the quieter, more beautiful side of Ibiza and Formentera.

Why Bora Sailing exists

Private days at sea should feel this good.

Bora was created for guests who want more than just time on a boat. The idea was always to offer a private day at sea that feels relaxed, beautiful, and genuinely well hosted, with the right captain, the right energy, and the freedom to enjoy the islands in a more personal way.

More space, less noise

With the boat reserved for your group only, the whole day feels calmer from the start. No shared schedule, no outside noise, and no pressure to keep up with anyone else.

Hosted with care

What guests remember is not just the route, but how the day feels. Warm communication, easy planning, and a crew that knows when to guide and when to simply let you enjoy it.

The day follows what feels right

Weather, sea conditions, and local knowledge shape the route in a natural way, so the experience feels smoother, more beautiful, and far less forced than a fixed plan.
