7-Day Yacht Charter Itinerary From Ibiza: A Complete Guide

What does a 7-day yacht charter from Ibiza actually look like?

A well-planned 7-day itinerary from Ibiza lets you cover roughly 120–150 nautical miles at a relaxed pace, blending quiet coves with lively harbour towns across the Balearic archipelago. This sample route is the one our brokerage recommends most often for first-time charter clients departing between June and September 2026. It balances morning swims in turquoise water, long lunches ashore, and overnight stays in sheltered anchorages — without the rushed feeling of a tick-box cruise. Below is the full day-by-day plan.

Day 1–2: Marina Ibiza to Formentera and Es Vedrà

Board your yacht at Marina Ibiza in the port district. After a safety briefing and provisioning check, cruise south toward Formentera — a crossing of just 6 nautical miles that takes under 30 minutes on most motor yachts above 24 metres. Drop anchor off Playa de Ses Illetes, where the seabed is sandy at 3–4 metres and the holding is reliable in settled summer conditions. Spend the afternoon swimming and paddleboarding before a sunset dinner on deck.

On day two, weigh anchor early and round Formentera's southern cape to visit Cala Saona, a west-facing bay sheltered from the prevailing easterly swell. After lunch, cruise north back toward the main island and anchor beneath Es Vedrà, the 382-metre limestone rock that dominates the southwest coastline. The anchorage here can be rolly if wind shifts north of 15 knots, so your captain may reposition to nearby Cala d'Hort for the night.

Day 3–4: The west coast and San Antonio Bay

Head north along the island's western shore, passing Cala Conta — a shelf of pale limestone over white sand that looks almost Caribbean at midday. This is a popular tender drop-off spot; the crew can hold the yacht 200 metres offshore while you explore the beach bars.

By afternoon, round the headland into the wide sweep of San Antonio Bay. The bay offers good protection and easy access to the town's waterfront restaurants. Day four is ideal for a longer passage: 45 nautical miles northwest to the island of Mallorca, or a shorter hop to the quieter north-coast anchorages around Portinatx if your group prefers a slower tempo. Both options keep the yacht within comfortable cruising range for a vessel averaging 10–12 knots.

Day 5: Northern anchorages and Tagomago Island

From Portinatx, cruise east toward Tagomago Island, a private islet roughly 900 metres off the northeast tip. The western lee of Tagomago provides a calm anchorage even when the tramontana gusts across the open channel. Snorkelling here reveals Posidonia meadows and rocky reef, with visibility regularly exceeding 25 metres in high summer.

After lunch, continue south to Cala Llonga or Santa Eulària des Riu, where the marina accepts vessels up to 25 metres on the outer pontoon. Santa Eulària's pedestrian promenade has a string of seafood restaurants that charter guests consistently rate among the island's best.

What to pack and prepare for a week-long Balearic yacht hire

- Reef-safe sunscreen and rash vests. Posidonia seagrass beds are protected under Balearic law; reef-safe products help you comply and protect the marine reserve. - Soft-soled deck shoes. Teak decks mark easily; most crews insist on non-marking soles or bare feet. - Light layers for evening. Temperatures drop to around 22 °C after sunset between June and September; a linen shirt or cashmere wrap is enough. - Passport for every guest. Even on a domestic Balearic route, Spanish port police may request ID during random checks at any marina. - A flexible mindset on timing. Weather windows shift; your captain may swap day 3 and day 5 to dodge a mistral front. Trust the crew — they run these routes weekly.

Day 6–7: Return loop via Ibiza Town

From Santa Eulària, the final leg curves south past the fortified walls of Dalt Vila, the UNESCO-listed old town visible from the water. Anchor in Talamanca Bay for a calm final night — the bay sits just 10 minutes by tender from the nightlife district, yet it stays quiet enough for an early sleep.

On the morning of day seven, motor the short distance back to Marina Ibiza for disembarkation. Most charters clear customs and hand over by 10:00, leaving time for a farewell brunch ashore.

Plan your charter

A week aboard a private yacht turns the Balearic coastline into something personal — your own sequence of morning anchorages, afternoon passages, and harbour-side dinners shaped by wind, whim, and the crew's local knowledge. The 2026 season is already filling between late June and mid-August, so early planning gives you the widest choice of vessel and itinerary. Whether you lean toward a 24-metre flybridge or a 40-metre sailing yacht, the route above flexes to fit. See our [Ibiza charter itineraries](#) for more inspiration.
