Hiring a boat in Sant Joan de Labritja
Sant Joan de Labritja is the north of Ibiza, the least populated municipality and the one with the wildest coast, with no marina: its 5 rental companies work from the coves (Portinatx, Sant Miquel, Cala Sant Vicent) with sailing boats and skippered trips, one of them with more than 160 reviews. It is the Ibiza coast for anyone after empty coves: Cala Xarraca, Benirràs, Cala d'en Serra, under 5 miles apart, and Tagomago island to the east. For day motorboats or no-licence boats, Santa Eulària, 11 km away, has 42 companies and Sant Antoni, 21 km, 89.
The season runs from April to October and many companies close in winter. The north coast faces the tramontana: with a north wind it closes and everyone sails the south of the island.
