Ibiza - Formentera private trip

One of the best experiences you can live in Ibiza.

Explore Ibiza from a different perspective. Far from the crowds and enjoying calm anchorages, swim stops and lunch moments to share with loved ones.

One of the best experiences you can live in Ibiza.

Route overview

Why this is the core Bora Sailing day.

For many guests, this is the day they remember most. You head out from Ibiza, spend time swimming and relaxing in beautiful spots, and enjoy Formentera from the sea instead of following the crowds on land.

It works especially well for couples, families, and friend groups who want the privacy of their own boat and a day that feels effortless once it begins.

Why Ibiza and Formentera by sailboat

The islands feel completely different from the water.

From hidden coves to slower lunches and open-water views, this route feels very different when you experience it by sailboat.

See the islands from the sea

Cliffs, coves, and beaches reveal themselves gradually when you arrive by sailboat, giving the whole day a calmer and far more beautiful rhythm than seeing the islands from land.

Your own rhythm

With the boat reserved for your group only, the day stays flexible. Swim longer, linger in a favorite cove, or keep moving depending on the mood on board.

Private sailboat

The boat is reserved for your group only, so the whole day feels calmer, more personal, and fully yours.

Captain included

A local captain guides the route, handles the sailing, and helps the day flow easily from start to finish.

Paddleboards and snorkel

Everything is ready for swim stops, floating, and making the most of the clearest water of the day.

Fuel for the route

The planned day route is already covered, so you are not worrying about practical extras once on board.

Swim setup on board

Floaties, easy water access, and a boat set up for relaxed stops make getting in and out feel effortless.

Comfort essentials

Shade, space to stretch out, and the basics for a long day at sea are already part of the experience.

How the day unfolds

A beautiful rhythm for the day, without overplanning it.

No two days are exactly the same, but this is the kind of flow guests can usually expect once they are on board.

Morning

Leaving Ibiza behind

You meet the captain, step on board, settle in, and soon the coast begins to open up as the day shifts into a slower, more relaxed pace.

Late morning

First stop in clear water

The first anchorage is usually where everyone truly switches off, with time to swim, paddle, float, or simply enjoy the stillness of the boat.

Midday

The Formentera side of the day

From there, the day naturally moves toward Formentera, whether that means a beautiful lunch stop, another anchorage, or more time in the water depending on the mood on board.

Afternoon

A soft return to Ibiza

On the way back, there is often time for one more swim or a quieter stretch of sailing before returning without rushing the final part of the day.
