Boat hire in Ibiza

Ibiza town is where the island's big boats are: 51 of its 84 rental companies advertise motor yachts and 24 catamarans, and the fleet is split between Marina Ibiza, with 31 companies within 500 m, Botafoch on the breakwater and the commercial harbour below Dalt Vila. It is the natural starting point for Formentera, about 12 miles south, and for the coves of the south and east coasts. If you want a small day boat or a no-licence motorboat, there is far more choice in Sant Antoni de Portmany, 10 km away with 89 companies, and in Santa Eulària des Riu, 5 km away with 42.

Sixteen companies advertise skippered charter and eighteen have sailing boats. The season runs from April to October and many companies close from November to March; in July and August boats are booked weeks ahead and the best-known coves fill up before midday. There are also scheduled boat trips to Formentera if you would rather not charter.

Indicative high-season prices from the directory's reference table, reviewed September 2026: a no-licence motorboat costs €120–250 a day; a RIB of 6–8 m, €250–650; a 10–12 m sailing yacht, €400–900 bareboat or €600–1,500 skippered; a catamaran, €1,000–2,500; a skippered motor yacht, from €900. Expect 20–40% less outside July and August. Deposits run from €300 to €2,000 and fuel is extra. Each company sets its own prices.
