Details

Es Cubells, a peaceful village perched on the cliffs of Ibiza’s southwestern coast in Spain’s Balearic Islands, offers a gateway to some of the Mediterranean’s clearest waters and most rugged coastal scenery. Bora Sailing operates a private full-day sailboat tour here, inviting travelers to step aboard a 43-foot vessel and leave the bustling island crowds behind for a day of personalized maritime adventure. The journey begins as you slip through the shimmering turquoise bays lining Ibiza's rocky shoreline, with the sailboat’s graceful lines cutting smoothly through the gentle waves.

What sets this trip apart is the seamless combination of active learning and laid-back luxury: guests can choose to learn sailing skills under the guidance of experienced crew or simply relax with a front-row view to local marine life. Bora Sailing packs complimentary snorkeling gear and stand-up paddleboards, so visitors can jump into the Mediterranean’s warm, crystal-clear waters to discover vibrant underwater ecosystems filled with native fish and Posidonia oceanica seagrass beds, a vital element of the local environment.

Customization is key on this private tour, with options to dock at exclusive beach clubs where lunch is served in a laid-back yet refined atmosphere. Es Cubells itself boasts dramatic cliffs and whitewashed architecture that reflect Ibiza’s deeper, quieter charm away from the party hotspots. Founded decades ago as a small fishing village, the area today balances tourism with respect for its natural and cultural heritage.

Bora Sailing’s private day offers a rare blend of education, recreation, and comfort on the water, supporting sustainable boating practices in a region renowned for its beauty and biodiversity. Whether you’re an experienced sailor or a first-time adventurer, this trip anchors you in the authentic maritime rhythm of the Balearics, inviting you to experience Ibiza beyond the shoreline.
