Ibiza is the most intensively chartered island in the western Mediterranean and its charter market runs on days rather than weeks. Most boats leave in the morning, cross to Formentera, anchor off Illetes or Espalmador and come back in the evening, and the whole trade is organised around that single trip. It is why prices are readable here and why they describe a day.
What Ibiza actually publishes
Click&Boat prints a from-price per day against its Balearic listings and SamBoat does the same. Those are readable without enquiring and they price the day-boat market, which in Ibiza is most of the market. No company in this record publishes an Ibiza weekly rate, which is recorded as a dated absence rather than estimated from a day figure.
The Formentera crossing is the product
Almost every Ibiza charter day is a Formentera day, and that shapes the boat you want: enough speed to make the crossing comfortably, a swim platform, shade, and a tender or an easy way ashore. It also shapes the cost, because the anchorages fill early and the Ses Salines natural park has rules about where and how you may anchor that a good skipper will know and a cheap one may not.
What a week here would mean
A week based in Ibiza is really a Balearic week: Formentera, then across to Mallorca's south coast or up to the Cabrera archipelago with a permit. If that is what you want, ask for it as a Balearic itinerary rather than an Ibiza one, because the companies that price weeks think in terms of the archipelago and the ones that price days think in terms of Formentera and back.
Questions people ask about yacht charter ibiza
How much is a yacht charter in Ibiza?
No company in this record publishes an Ibiza weekly rate. Click&Boat and SamBoat print day-rate from-prices against Balearic listings, and weeks are quoted on enquiry.
Is Ibiza charter mostly by the day?
Yes. The market is organised around the Formentera crossing, which is a day trip, and that is what most listings price.
Do I need a permit to anchor off Formentera?
The Ses Salines natural park regulates anchoring, particularly over seagrass. A local skipper will know the current rules, which is one practical argument for a skippered day.
