7-Day Yacht Itinerary From Ibiza: A Broker's Day-by-Day Guide

Why a 7-Day Yacht Charter From Ibiza Covers More Than You Think

Planning a sample 7-day itinerary from Ibiza is the fastest way to understand what a week aboard actually looks like — and why the Balearic Islands reward a full seven nights. This broker-curated route threads together quiet coves, vibrant harbour towns, and open-water crossings that keep the week varied without exhausting anyone on board. You will cover roughly 120–150 nautical miles at a relaxed pace, with time for swimming, shore dinners, and spontaneous detours. Below is the day-by-day breakdown our charter team recommends for the 2026 summer season.

Day 1–2: Ibiza Marina to Formentera's South Coast

Board your yacht at Marina Ibiza or Marina Botafoch by midday. After a safety briefing and a light lunch on the flybridge, a short 6-nautical-mile crossing brings you to Formentera. Anchor off Playa de Ses Illetes, where the seabed glows white through 8 metres of crystalline water. Spend the afternoon on the tender exploring the sandspit that separates Ses Illetes from Espalmador, the small private islet just to the north.

Day 2 stays on Formentera's south side. Cruise around Cap de Barbaria to Cala Saona — a west-facing bay perfect for a sunset swim. Dine ashore at one of the low-key seafood restaurants in Es Caló, a fishing hamlet on the island's northeast coast. Formentera's pace sets the tone for the entire week: slow, salt-scented, and screen-free.

Day 3–4: Crossing to Mallorca's Southwest Corner

The morning of Day 3 is your longest passage — roughly 55 nautical miles northeast to Mallorca. At 12 knots the crossing takes around 4.5 hours, which is comfortable for most guests and gives the crew time to prepare a full lunch underway. Arrive at the dramatic entrance to Port d'Andratx by late afternoon. The harbour is deep enough for yachts up to 50 metres, and the waterfront restaurants serve some of the best grilled langoustine in the Balearics.

Day 4 heads northwest along Mallorca's Serra de Tramuntana coastline. Anchor in the fjord-like inlet of Sa Calobra, where limestone cliffs rise 200 metres on both sides. A tender ride to the Torrent de Pareis gorge is worth every minute. By evening, tuck into the sheltered bay at Port de Sóller — a natural round harbour ringed by Belle Époque townhouses and orange groves.

Day 5–6: Cabrera Archipelago and Mallorca's East Coast

Cabrera National Park sits 10 nautical miles south of Mallorca's Colònia de Sant Jordi. Mooring permits are limited and must be reserved well in advance — our charter team handles the paperwork. Once inside, the marine reserve's underwater visibility regularly exceeds 30 metres, ideal for snorkelling or diving off the tender.

Day 6 curves back west along Mallorca's south coast, passing the wide sandy sweep of Es Trenc before anchoring near the old salt flats. This is a recovery day: paddleboards, a massage on the aft deck, a slow lunch of Mallorcan tumbet and chilled rosé. See our [Ibiza day-charter itinerary](#) for guests who prefer a shorter version of this route.

What to Pack for a Week-Long Private Yacht Hire

- Reef-safe sunscreen (SPF 50+). Cabrera's marine reserve strictly prohibits chemical-filter products; biodegradable formulas are mandatory. - Light layers for evening. Temperatures in June through September hover around 28 °C by day, but a 10-knot breeze at anchor drops the feel to 22 °C after dark. - Soft-soled deck shoes. Hard soles mark teak; crew will politely ask you to change. - Dry bag for electronics. Tender transfers to Sa Calobra and Espalmador involve light spray. - Waterproof phone pouch. You will want photos in the water at Ses Illetes without risking your device.

Day 7: Return Crossing and Final Night in Ibiza Town

Depart Mallorca's southwest tip early and enjoy a mid-morning cruise back toward Ibiza. The return crossing is roughly 55 nautical miles — arriving by early afternoon leaves time for a final swim at Cala Comte, one of the island's most photogenic west-coast bays. Moor for the night back at Marina Botafoch, a short walk from the Dalt Vila fortress walls and the candlelit restaurants of La Marina quarter.

A luxury yacht charter across the Balearics at this pace suits groups of 6–12 guests aboard motor yachts in the 24–40 metre range. Browse our [Balearic charter yachts](#) to compare layouts, crew configurations, and availability for summer 2026.

Plan Your Balearic Charter Week

A week-long boat charter from Ibiza reveals how different each island feels — Formentera's barefoot calm, Mallorca's alpine drama, Cabrera's silent reserve. The route above is a starting framework; your captain will adjust daily for wind, swell, and the group's mood. Every season brings slight variations in mooring availability and weather windows, which is exactly why an experienced local broker adds real value. Summer 2026 berths at Marina Ibiza and Port d'Andratx are already filling, so the earlier you begin shaping your itinerary, the wider your options remain.
