5 DAYS IN BALEARIC ISLANDS

Begin your Balearic odyssey in Ibiza, where luxury yachting culture meets Mediterranean clarity. Depart your marina and head south to Es Cavallet, one of Ibiza’s beloved sandy coves renowned for its open water, gentle sea breezes, and striking dunes. The bay’s sandy seabed and clear water make for ideal swimming and paddleboarding with the yacht comfortably positioned offshore. Shore excursions can include private beach picnics, introductions to local gastronomy at chic beach clubs, or exploring nearby dunes and protected marshland on tender. Keep in mind that many anchorages around Ibiza and Formentera have designated buoy fields and environmental protections to preserve Posidonia seagrass, so your crew will expertly handle mooring etiquette. Enjoy sunset on deck with an aperitif as the soft Mediterranean light envelops the coast. Overnight cruise to Formentera & Ses Illetes.

Cross to Formentera and arrive at Ses Illetes, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe with its shimmering turquoise water, fine white sand, and gentle shallows perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The beach sits within the Ses Salines Natural Park, a protected ecosystem offering unspoiled vistas and Biodiversity. Anchor offshore on sand or tie to buoy fields to protect sea grass and enjoy a day of water‑based leisure. Tender ashore for cocktails with toes in the sand, lunch at fine seafood restaurants, or a private photoshoot framed by the crystal Mediterranean. Formentera’s relaxed vibe and clear water make this one of the most desirable anchorages in the Balearics. As evening approaches, settle in for a tranquil night with stars above and gentle waves below. Anchor the night near Ses Illetes.

Set the course to Es Caló de Sant Agustí, a petite traditional fishing village with a natural harbour and a wonderfully intimate swimming cove framed by rocky outcrops. Here, cultural interaction meets peaceful seaside ambiance, ideal for tender explorations and an early lunch ashore in authentic local eateries. In the afternoon, cruise along Formentera’s south coast to Platja de Migjorn, the island’s longest beach with expansive golden sands, calm turquoise water, and a more private feel than northern coves. This beach is perfect for long swims, paddleboarding sessions, or beach picnic setups arranged by your crew. With its sweeping horizon and slow pace, Migjorn offers a refined contrast to more bustling anchorages. Anchor the night off Migjorn Beach.

Cruise northwest back toward Ibiza to Cala d’Hort, where the silhouette of Es Vedrà looms on the horizon, an iconic limestone islet steeped in legend and awe‑inspiring presence. Anchor in turquoise water with sandy seabed and time your day to capture the dramatic light as the sun descends behind Es Vedrà. Tender excursions can explore nearby hidden coves or shallow reefs ideal for snorkeling. Skilled crew will anticipate local conditions – swell and wind can shift in this area – ensuring a secure and serene overnight anchorage. On deck, dinner becomes an event against an unforgettable backdrop of Mediterranean color and form. Anchor the night in Cala d’Hort.

Your final stop is Sant Antoni de Portmany, one of Ibiza’s principal harbors known for its maritime amenities and lively waterfront. A morning sail from Cala d’Hort brings you into this spacious bay where your crew can secure a berth or protected anchorage ahead of exploration. Historic streets, seaside espresso terraces, and refined boutiques await ashore, alongside marine services if needed. Take a tender ride to nearby Blue Marlin or premium beach clubs for lunch with a view. Later in the afternoon, return to your home port in Ibiza where you may enjoy one last sunset cruise along the coast or a final gourmet dinner on board. Overnight cruise back to Ibiza.
