Set off from Ibiza on a private catamaran to explore Formentera’s famed west coast: swim at Espalmador, paddle at hidden caves, and sip an aperitif while the sun lowers over turquoise shallows. This full-day charter blends easy sailing, snorkeling, and optional shore lunches at top beach clubs.

Aboard a low-slung catamaran the horizon opens like a page: turquoise water slips past the hull and the sea seems intent on pulling you west toward Formentera’s fine-sand tongues. The boat glides, sails whispering, and the first sight of Ses Illetes—its narrow spit of sand and shallow, glass-clear shallows—appears as an invitation you can accept by stepping off the bow.

Wildlife
History
Formentera’s economy once relied on small-scale fishing and salt flats; Ses Illetes formed from longshore sand movement and historic dune systems.
Conservation
The islands protect extensive Posidonia seagrass meadows—anchoring is restricted in many areas to prevent damage to this essential habitat.

Book morning departures
Leaving mid-morning usually means calmer seas for the crossing and more daylight to explore coves and anchorages.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Posidonia meadows line many anchorages—choose biodegradable sunscreen to reduce damage to seagrass and marine life.
Bring a light windbreaker
Even in summer the open crossing can be breezy; a thin layer keeps you comfortable on the bow.
Reserve beach-club seating early
If you plan to eat ashore at places like Juan y Andrea, book in advance to avoid long waits during high season.
