• ⚡ How much does a sailing trip in Ibiza and Formentera cost?

  Sailwiz offers trips to Ibiza and Formentera ranging from €400 to around €2,000 per person, depending on the number of days, the boat, and what's included. A long weekend or a 4- to 5-day sailing trip departing from mainland Spain costs between €400 and €600 per person. A full week on a sailboat ranges from €750 to €1,300, and on a catamaran from €1,150 to €1,650. Eight-day cruises that include Mallorca and themed trips with a chef or wellness services on board are the closest to €2,000.

• What's included in the price and what's extra?

  On all Sailwiz trips, a professional skipper and insurance are included. Everything else depends on the specific boat, and we always explain it clearly in the details before you book. Some trips are all-inclusive, with food, drinks, fuel, and cleaning included in a single price. Other trips include a shared onboard storage box, costing around €20 to €30 per person per day for food, fuel, and mooring fees. And some trips have fixed supplements, ranging from around €18 per day for meals to weekly packages of €150 for food plus around €85 for fuel. If anything is unclear, please ask us or the skipper, and we'll explain it in detail before you pay.

• Should I depart from the Peninsula or from Ibiza?

  If you depart from the mainland, you save on the ferry or flight and experience a high-seas crossing, usually done at night or in the early morning, taking almost a full day each way. If you embark from Ibiza or Formentera, you'll spend every day exploring the coves. With just a week, embarking from the islands is more worthwhile, but if you want to truly experience sailing, it's better to depart from the mainland. If you're unsure, tell us how many days you have, and we'll recommend the best option for you.

• Can I book a single seat or the entire boat?

  Both options are available. On Sailwiz, you can book your berth and share the boat with other travelers, or reserve the entire boat for your group. As a reference, a week on a 15-meter sailboat for 8 to 10 people costs around €6,500 to €7,000 for the entire boat. On some boats, berths on sofa beds cost about 20% less than cabin berths.

• Can I go alone if I don't know anyone?

  Yes, and it's very common on Sailwiz. You book your spot, share a cabin and the journey with other people who are also traveling independently, and, as many reviews mention, most return with new friends. If you want to know what kind of group usually goes on a boat, ask the skipper before booking.

• Can I cancel if something comes up?

  Each listing displays its cancellation policy before you pay, and some Sailwiz experiences allow free cancellation up to 15 days before departure. If flexibility is important to you, look for that label when choosing, or contact us and we'll let you know which trips offer it.

• And if I have more questions, who do I ask?

  You can contact us or the skipper directly, whichever you prefer. You can write to the skipper on each listing, and they usually respond within a day. The Sailwiz team is also available via WhatsApp or the contact form. We encourage you to ask any questions you may have before booking, because we want you to board the boat with complete peace of mind.
