Your own boat in Ibiza, at the price you want
One short request, boats at every price, and the whole of Ibiza's coast in front of you.
We have plenty of boats for rent in Ibiza at every price: sailboats from about €515 a summer day, RIBs from about €550, motorboats from about €665, catamarans from about €1,000 and motor yachts from about €4,400. Send your date and group, and within 2 hours in business hours you get prices and available boats for your exact date, free and with no obligation.
Picture the day: the 382-metre rock of Es Vedrà rising out of the sea, the water at Cala Comte, a crossing to Formentera, and the sun going down over the sea off the west coast. The boat is entirely yours, with your group, your music and a skipper included, so nobody needs a licence. The typical boat is about 11 metres long and takes 10 people.
Your starting point shapes the day. Ibiza town is the short side for Formentera, about 10 nautical miles (NM) from off Botafoch point. Sant Antoni, on the west coast, is about 5.5 NM from Cala Comte and about 11 NM from Es Vedrà. Pick the destination, and we'll find you a boat on the right side of the island.
What a boat costs in Ibiza
Summer day prices by type, always for the whole boat.
| Boat | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Sailboat | From about €515 a day | A lot of boat for the money. Perfect for a slow west-coast day or an evening under sail off Sant Antoni. |
| RIB | From about €550 a day | Fast and fun between coves. Small groups love the speed, and it stops wherever the swimming looks best. |
| Motorboat | From about €665 a day | The island's favourite. Es Vedrà from Ibiza town takes about 48 minutes each way at 20 knots. |
| Catamaran | From about €1,000 a day | A broad deck and a steady stop, made for groups near the 12-guest mark who want to spread out. |
| Motor yacht | From about €4,400 a day | Ibiza at full volume: space, shade and speed for a day to remember. See the yacht charter page for more. |

Where to hire a boat in Ibiza
Tell us the side of the island you're staying on, and your offer shows where you board.
Marina Ibiza
On the Botafoch side of Ibiza town harbour, with 425 berths for boats up to 110 m. It's the natural start for a larger boat and for Formentera, which lies straight off this side of the island.
Marina Botafoch and Ibiza Magna
Also on Ibiza town harbour, with the old town on the skyline as you leave. La Savina on Formentera is about 12 NM from inside Botafoch, so a day across is an easy one.
Sant Antoni (San Antonio)
Boat hire in San Antonio puts the west coast at your feet, with charter among the port's listed services. Cala Comte and Es Vedrà are your trips from here, with the sun setting over the sea off the bay in season.
Santa Eulària
The east-coast choice, and a great one if you're staying nearby. Spend the day along this quieter shore and keep the far side of the island for another outing.
La Savina, if Formentera is the plan
Hiring on Formentera saves the crossing. Boats there are smaller and cheaper, with motorboats from about €400 on a summer day. The Formentera page has the details.
No licence? No problem
A skipper comes with every offer, and that settles the licence question for good.
Nobody in your group needs a licence, because a skipper comes with every offer. That goes for anyone searching boot mieten ohne Führerschein too: with a skipper on board, the answer is yes. You get the whole boat and the whole day, and someone else handles the helm, the anchor and the route.
Hold a licence yourself? Mention it in your request, and your offer shows what you can take out without a skipper. Any rented motorboat now needs a licence, whatever its size, so most groups happily leave the driving to a professional and spend the day in the water.
If you'd like your own ticket, the licencia de navegación is a short Spanish course: 2 hours of theory and at least 4 of practice through a nautical school or federation, plus a fitness check, from age 18, or 16 with parental consent. It covers boats up to 6 m, in daylight, within 2 NM of a port, marina or shelter: ideal for a day along one stretch of coast.
Good to know
Anchoring is the skipper's job
Your skipper finds clear sand or a buoy and looks after any permits, so a stop is always somewhere the boat is welcome. If a cove is busy, there's another one a short run away.
Bigger groups book two boats
A boat here takes up to 12 guests, with crew on top. Fourteen of you? Two boats, a shared anchorage and a race to the swim stop.
The whole boat, every time
No shared decks and no seats sold. You hire the entire boat for your group, at one price you can split however you like.
When to hire a boat in Ibiza
May to October is your window. August averages a high of 30.3 °C at Ibiza airport, and the evenings belong to the west coast, where the sun sets over the sea off Sant Antoni and Cala Comte from May to September.
Prices relax either side of the peak, with motorboats from about €490 a day and catamarans from about €600 off-season. Popular Saturdays go first in high summer, so send your date early and see what's free.
