Details

San Antonio, perched on the western tip of Ibiza in the Balearic Islands, offers more than its famed nightlife—it unveils a stunning Mediterranean coastline best witnessed from the water. Take Off Ibiza’s Alquiler de Barco Clásico invites adventurers and leisure seekers alike to step aboard a traditional wooden llaüt, an emblem of the island’s maritime heritage. This type of boat, handcrafted with time-honored techniques, provides not just transport but an authentic connection to Ibiza’s seafaring past.

Setting off from San Antonio's harbor, the voyage unfolds along jagged cliffs and quiet coves, where crystal-clear waters meet sculpted limestone cliffs stained pink and ochre by the sun. The coastline here is peppered with hidden bays—ideal for a midday swim or a moment of quiet reflection far from the bustling beaches. As the boat glides gently, passengers relax on wooden decks warmed by the sun, while panoramic views stretch toward rocky outcrops and the shimmering horizon.

This experience highlights the unique blend of tranquility and rugged beauty that defines Ibiza’s western shore. Beyond its natural allure, the llaüt embodies the island's fishing traditions, offering a passage through history and nature wrapped into a single journey. Take Off Ibiza stands apart by marrying this rich cultural backdrop with impeccable service, making each trip not just a ride but a curated immersion in the local environment.

For travelers craving a break from crowded beaches or high-energy clubs, this classic boat charter provides an uncluttered perspective of Ibiza’s coastal heritage. Whether catching the golden hour or spotting seabirds skimming the waves, the Alquiler de Barco Clásico is a peaceful, engaging way to connect with one of the Mediterranean’s most iconic islands.
