Ibiza Catamaran Experience to Illetas, Formentera with Food

Sail to the clearest waters in the Mediterranean and anchor at Formentera's most iconic beach


This Ibiza catamaran trip to Formentera takes you aboard a modern sailing vessel from the Port of Botafoch, following the rugged south-east coastline of Ibiza before arriving at the legendary Illetas Beach. The experience combines open-sea sailing, crystal-clear swimming, and a prepared buffet lunch served on deck.

Illetas Beach in Formentera has long been recognised as one of the most pristine stretches of coastline in the Balearic Islands, attracting visitors who seek turquoise shallows, fine white sand, and a sense of seclusion despite its popularity. Arriving by catamaran rather than ferry gives a perspective on the landscape that roads simply cannot offer.

The itinerary is paced to allow genuine relaxation rather than a rushed visit. After anchoring, guests have free time to swim, snorkel, or simply wade along the shoreline before returning to the boat for a buffet of salads and drinks, followed by the sail back to Ibiza and a coach transfer to the original pick-up points.

Tour Highlights

Sail along the scenic south-east coast of Ibiza, viewing cliffs and coves accessible only from the water.

Anchor at Illetas Beach, Formentera, celebrated for its shallow turquoise waters and powder-white sand.

Relax on the catamaran solarium as the vessel crosses the Es Freus strait between the two islands.

Enjoy a prepared buffet of fresh salads and drinks served on board during the stay at Illetas.

Swim, snorkel, or dive in the protected waters around one of the Mediterranean's most admired beaches.

Coach transfers from and back to your hotel make logistics straightforward, with no need to arrange separate transport.

Itinerary

1
Hotel Pick-Up by Coach

An air-conditioned coach collects guests from hotels and agreed pick-up points across Ibiza, transferring everyone to the Port of Botafoch on the Ibiza promenade. A guide meets the group on arrival to assign places aboard the catamaran.

2
Departure from Port of Botafoch

The catamaran sets sail from the port, heading south-east along the Ibiza coastline. The route passes through the Es Freus channel, the narrow strait that separates Ibiza from Formentera, offering views of sea cliffs and small offshore islets.

3
Anchoring at Illetas Beach, Formentera

The vessel anchors in the clear shallows off Illetas Beach, where guests can swim, snorkel, or walk along the shoreline. The catamaran's deck serves as a base throughout the stay, with the buffet of salads and drinks available on board.

4
Return Sail to Ibiza

After the allotted time at Illetas, the catamaran sails back toward Ibiza, retracing the coastal route to the Port of Botafoch. Guests can use the solarium on the return leg or simply enjoy the open sea views.

On arrival back at the port, air-conditioned coaches return guests to their original pick-up points across the island, completing the round trip.
