Sailing Cruise in Ibiza and Formentera from Valencia

“Enjoy your holidays on an exclusive sailboat”
CRUISE ON A LARGE SAILING BOAT IN IBIZA AND FORMENTERA

Would you like to enjoy a holiday on a large sailboat?

We will share the unique experience of sailing and anchoring in the most beautiful and spectacular coves of Ibiza and Formentera, on a boat with superior features, more than 15m long and almost 5m wide. An exclusive sailboat for only 5 to 7 people who want to enjoy their holidays with maximum space, comfort and safety on board.

Coves with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, conversations under the stars, incredible sunsets, laughter, fun, relaxation and much more you will find on this spectacular cruise around Ibiza and Formentera.

We will watch the sunset in a different cove every day, where we can go down to the beach, walk or have a drink, and then come back on board to let ourselves be carried away by the magical movement of the stars, under the moonlight. In addition, if you feel like it, we can moor ourselves in the charming port of Santa Eulalia or in the lively port of Ibiza to stroll, dine in one of its restaurants and enjoy its nightlife.

Every dawn will offer us a unique moment to enjoy a swim, a dip or simply relax before breakfast. And after setting the boat to the sound of the sea, we will sail between coves and beaches on short trips discovering beautiful landscapes, contemplating nature from its imposing bow, sunbathing and relaxing in any of its 2 large solariums, cooling off or diving in its clear waters, or simply walking along the beach or paddle surfing. And if you feel like it, we can also take an excursion to discover the interior of the islands, walking or renting bikes or motorbikes.

Ultimately, we will be inspired and elevate our senses through the life of a sailor, sharing the basic tasks and responsibilities, the steering of the sailboat, the trimming of its sails, the art of anchoring and the pleasure of enjoying nature with other people, all of which will undoubtedly make this trip an unforgettable experience.

BOARDING AND DISEMBARKATION

-Boarding: Saturday 9:00 p.m. | Marina Real de Valencia
- Disembarkation: Friday 18:00h or Saturday 08:00h | Marina Real de Valencia

Plan

SATURDAY: BOARDING AND CROSSING UNDER THE STARS

We will embark at the appointed time and place to begin our journey towards Ibiza at around 10:30 p.m. The sailboat will already be perfectly stowed and ready to sail, so after settling in we will review the itinerary and the planned program as well as the basic tasks and rules for living together and safety on board.

Afterwards we will enjoy together what will be our first night sailing under the stars, arriving in the morning at Playas del Comte (North), one of the most beautiful and special places in Ibiza for us. With a bit of luck, we will be greeted by our friends the dolphins.

SUNDAY: WEST COAST TO NORTH IBIZA

Our first stop will be in a paradise with several white sand coves, bathed by transparent waters from which we can see the islands of Es Bosc, Sa Conillera, Ses Bledes and S'Espartar. Dropping anchor in this place is unforgettable since Playas del Comte are considered among the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world.

We will have the afternoon free to swim, walk, snorkel or simply relax and enjoy one of the best sunsets in Ibiza. Here we will spend our first night at anchor in the moonlight.

MONDAY: NORTH COAST OF IBIZA

Today we will head north to enjoy a magnificent cruise along the island's wildest coast.

On the way, we will cool off in the blue waters of the Aubarca cove, and later head to San Miguel, a small and charming natural port, or to Benirras, a mythical cove where on summer evenings the sun sets to the rhythm of drums, beaten by hippies who have been gathering with people for many years around this ritual. The magical touch of this unique sunset is provided on the horizon by Es Cap Bernat, a narrow and pointed islet, 27 metres high, located in the centre of the bay.

TUESDAY: EAST COAST TO IBIZA CITY

This time we will sail towards the island of Tagomago, passing by Es Canaret and Porrtinax. Tagomago is an islet of high ecological value, classified as a Natural Area of Special Interest. It is an important breeding ground for migratory birds, including the Eleonora falcon, the European shag, the virots, the yellow-legged gull and the Balearic shearwater. Among its fauna, it is also worth highlighting a subspecies of the Ibiza and Formentera lizard. Here we will drop anchor to enjoy a nice morning swim in crystal-clear waters and white sand.

And then, we will set sail towards any of the following alternatives to spend the afternoon and night: Mooring in the port of Santa Eulalia, to enjoy its charming and lively promenade. Anchoring in Ses Salines, in the south of the island, with good access by taxi to the city of Ibiza or, if possible, mooring in the Ibiza yacht club, which would allow us to enjoy its port full of megayachts, take in the atmosphere or even dine in one of its restaurants if you feel like it.

WEDNESDAY: FROM IBIZA TO FORMENTERA

After the best swim (in the morning) and after breakfast, we will set sail towards Formentera. A beautiful sailing trip awaits us, crossing the Freus, towards one of the best coves in all of the Balearic Islands without a doubt, Cala Saona, where we will sleep at anchor.

We will have the day free to enjoy the surroundings of the cove and its incredible turquoise waters. And if you feel like it, it is a good day to rent a motorbike or bicycle and get to know at least a little of the interior of the island for a few hours. And in the afternoon and before dinner, we can enjoy a beautiful sunset from the cliffs of Punta Rasa or sailing gently while sharing a glass of good wine or cava. A real pleasure for the senses!

THURSDAY: FORMENTERA AND NIGHT IN IBIZA

Today is another intense and very special day ahead of us. We will weigh anchor early to set sail for an anchorage near the paradisiacal island of Espalmador. We will stroll along its white sand beaches and cool off in its crystal-clear waters. Everything invites calm and relaxation in this protected corner of the Pitiusas archipelago.

Towards mid-morning we will head to another dream place, Illetes. It is a true wild paradise located within the Ses Salines Natural Park. More than 450 metres of unspoilt beach and crystal-clear turquoise waters await us.

And after lunch we will set sail to discover the magical surroundings of Es Verdrá, back in Ibiza. There, sheltered by the cliffs of Cala d'Hort, we will enjoy one of the best sunsets from the cliffs or from the sailboat itself.

FRIDAY: IBIZA TO VALENCIA

And now, our big last day. Early in the morning we will set sail for Valencia to enjoy a new return trip, this time during the day, during which we will surely have many things to talk about. We will arrive at the Marina Real towards the middle of the afternoon, thus ending the programme, although those who need it can request to stay overnight on the sailboat until the following day (extra night option, free of charge, subject to availability).

SATURDAY: FAREWELL

If you have finally spent the night on the sailboat, at 08:00h we will say goodbye, ending our great experience.

*The proposed program may vary depending on the weather or the group's proposal.

We set out for the first time without knowing what adventures lay ahead for us and this journey had a big surprise in store for us. The sailboat is a great boat but like any boat, the crew is what makes the difference. Nacho, the captain, is a great person, a great sailor. We will definitely be back.
