Stepping aboard at Figueretas Port, the deck hums with low music and the Mediterranean stretches wide—bright, saline, and impatient. The catamaran slips off Ibiza’s coast and the island silhouette thins as the crew sets a relaxed rhythm: anchor at a turquoise cove, a paella pan heats, and inflatable paddleboards bob like invitations.

History
Formentera’s salt flats and small harbors supported fishing and salt production for centuries, and its calmer culture developed in part because of limited freshwater and rugged terrain.
Conservation
Ses Illetes and surrounding seagrass beds host Posidonia oceanica meadows; visitors should avoid anchoring on beds and use marked moorings where provided to limit damage.
Reserve your spot on the Formentera Catamaran Trip with Water Sports, Paella & Open bar today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring a waterproof pouch
Keep your phone, ID, and cash in a small waterproof dry bag—boarding, swimming, and scooter rentals all involve wet hands and docks.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply and reapply reef-safe sunscreen before entering the water to protect marine life and maintain visibility while snorkeling.
Reserve vegetarian paella in advance
Request the vegetarian option when you book or at check-in to ensure the kitchen can prepare it for the onboard demonstration.
Plan scooter routes ahead
If you plan to rent a scooter on Formentera, map a 1–2 hour loop (Ses Illetes to Es Pujols) to avoid rushing and parking issues.
