There are countless ways to fall in love with Ibiza, but few compare to the experience of setting sail along its coastline. When you sail around the island, Ibiza reveals a completely different personality: dramatic cliffs that tumble into the sea, remote coves untouched by development, and that unforgettable light as the sun slips below the horizon. A boat tour in Ibiza is not just an excursion, but a chance to connect with the Mediterranean on its own terms—calm, wild, and always beautiful.
Whether you are after a full-day adventure, a relaxed afternoon cruise, a romantic sunset, or a private voyage to hidden corners of the island, Ibiza offers an extensive range of boat tours to suit every type of traveller. Departures are mostly from Sant Antoni, a lively coastal town on the west of the island that serves as the main hub for maritime experiences.
Here is everything you need to know about the most popular and rewarding boat excursions in Ibiza.
