Pricing & What's Included

How much does it cost to charter a yacht in Ibiza?
Yacht charter prices in Ibiza vary by size and year. 6 m boats start at €700/day all included (boat, skipper, fuel, taxes). Up to 10 m: €1,300 – €1,800/day. Up to 14 m: €1,800 – €3,000/day. 30 m and above: up to €20,000/day. We only work with fully licensed boats with proper marina moorings — always ask for a transparent all-inclusive quote before booking.
How much is the Shared Yacht Experience?
€200 per person, all included for 8 hours: boat, skipper, fuel, drinks (water, beer, soft drinks, wine), towels, snorkelling gear, ice and insurance. The yacht model varies based on number of guests — boats for 5 people are 8 m, boats for 11 people are 12 m — but the experience and inclusions are the same.
What is included in a private charter price?
The boat, the skipper, towels, drinks (water, beer, soft drinks, wine), ice, snorkelling gear and all taxes. Fuel is the only thing quoted separately — we give you a transparent fuel cost upfront based on your chosen itinerary. If you prefer, we can give you one final all-inclusive price with no add-ons and no surprises.
What is included in the Shared Yacht Experience price?
Everything. Boat, skipper, fuel, towels, drinks, ice, snorkelling gear, taxes and insurance — nothing extra to pay on the day unless you choose to add something.
What is NOT included in a private charter?
  • Fuel — quoted separately or bundled on request
  • Food — catering available via our partners
  • Extra hours — €100/hour (up to 14 m), €200/hour (over 14 m), €300/hour (over 20 m)
  • Mooring in Formentera port — most charters anchor in bays for free
Are there any hidden costs or extras?
No. We always send you the final all-in price upfront. What you see in the quote is what you pay.
Do you charge per person or per boat?
Private charter → per boat.
Shared Yacht Experience → per person (€200pp).
Does the price change with the season?
Yes. Most boats are priced in five tiers: May, June, July/August, September, October. A selected group of boats use a simpler structure — low season (May to 19 June), high season (20 June to 30 August), low again (1 September onwards).
Do you offer discounts for groups, kids or weekdays?
We don't usually publish discounts, but we make exceptions for selected boat models, weekday bookings or same-day last-minute deals. Always worth asking on WhatsApp.

When do I pay the remaining balance?
On the day of the charter, the moment you board the boat.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash, card via payment link, and bank transfer.
How far in advance should I book?
For the best boats and most popular dates (June–August weekends), book at least 1 month ahead. We also have last-minute and same-day availability — just message us.
Can I book last-minute or same day?
Yes. We usually need 1–2 hours' notice to prepare the boat and skipper.
Can I reserve a date without paying?
No — a deposit is always required to hold a date.
Do you take bookings on WhatsApp or only online?
We take bookings via WhatsApp — it's faster, more personal, and we can adapt better to what you need. Message us here.

Cancellations, Refunds & Weather

What is your cancellation policy?
  • More than 15 days before → full refund
  • Winds over 16 knots → full refund
  • Waves over 1 m → full refund
  • Rain → full refund
  • Cloudy or partly cloudy → NOT refunded (in Ibiza the sun usually returns within 1–2 hours, and the sea is usually calmer afterwards)
Alternative: we can move your charter to another day if there's availability.
Can I change the date if I can't make it?
With at least 15 days' notice — yes, subject to availability. If the new date isn't available we'll either offer you another boat or process a cancellation.
Who decides if the charter is cancelled due to weather?
The company decides, based on the professional recommendation of the captain.
What if one of my guests doesn't show up?
The charter still goes ahead. A private charter can only be cancelled with 15 days' notice.
Do you have travel insurance?
All our boats include insurance for guests during the charter.
What if I get seasick and want to come back early?
The boat is yours for 8 hours, so you decide when to head back. If you know you're prone to seasickness, we recommend taking a pill from any pharmacy 1 hour before the charter (always check with your own doctor first).

Shared Yacht Experience

What's the difference between Shared and Private charter?
Private charter → the whole boat is yours and your group's. You choose the itinerary, the stops, the timings, the departure and return time, the restaurant.

Shared charter → you buy individual seats on a pre-planned tour with fixed stops, itinerary and schedule.
How does the Shared Yacht Experience work?
We sell seats on a yacht for up to 11–12 people. When all 11 seats are sold, the booking closes. If we sell between 5 and 10 seats, a smaller yacht is used so the experience still goes ahead. You can buy as many seats as you want. It often becomes the highlight of someone's Ibiza trip — people make new friends on board most days.
Who will I be sharing the boat with?
It's a surprise — Ibiza style. We do our best to put compatible groups together based on the vibe of each booking.
How many people will be on the boat?
Maximum is 12 people (Ibiza law). Minimum for the experience to run is 5 people.
What if I don't want strangers on my boat?
Two options: book a private charter, or buy all the spots on a shared boat so it becomes private.
Can I book all the spots on a shared boat?
Yes — that turns it into a private charter at a fixed per-seat rate.
Are shared groups grouped by age, language or vibe?
Not by default. We try to match vibes when possible. If we're running 3–4 shared boats on the same day (40+ guests total) we deliberately match guests by age, language and energy.
