Spend a day aboard a catamaran sailing the western coves of Ibiza, snorkeling over sand-and-rock bottoms at Cala Codolar and hopping into hidden bays. This full-day trip balances relaxed cruising with guided water activities and local insights.

You step from the dock and the catamaran slips into the blue, the island’s limestone headlands receding as the wind fills the sails. Salt air lifts your eyelids; the skipper points to a sheltered inlet on the starboard side and by late morning the boat rides into the shallow bowl of Cala Codolar, a small protected beach where sand meets fractured rock and the water turns a luminous turquoise.
