The boat slips away from Sant Antoni’s pantalan as the town’s pastel buildings recede and the Mediterranean opens, a broad sheet of blue that seems to dare you to dive in. Within minutes the shoreline changes—rocky combes, low cliffs, and wide sandy pockets—until Cala Comte’s shallow turquoise shelves appear like a natural pool where the sea catches the light.

The boat slips away from Sant Antoni’s pantalan as the town’s pastel buildings recede and the Mediterranean opens, a broad sheet of blue that seems to dare you to dive in. Within minutes the shoreline changes—rocky combes, low cliffs, and wide sandy pockets—until Cala Comte’s shallow turquoise shelves appear like a natural pool where the sea catches the light.
This private four‑hour cruise pairs easy swimming and snorkeling with close-up views of Es Vedrà, the sheer limestone monolith rising roughly 400 metres off the southwest coast. The rock is geologically Triassic limestone, hardened and sculpted by sea and wind; culturally it’s wrapped in local myths—stories of magnetic anomalies, sirens, and ancient seafarers—that have shaped Ibiza’s island lore since Phoenician and Punic sailors mapped these waters.
From the deck you’ll see small offshore islets—Sa Conillera and Illa des Bosc—whose sheltered coves are best accessed by sea. Dolphins occasionally thread the wake; seabirds wheel above the cliffs. The operator typically times stops for a swim in crystal water, a shaded break for a picnic or drinks, and a long look west toward Es Vedrà at golden hour.
Practicalities: the tour meets at Sant Antoni port and runs about four hours. Bring reef‑safe sunscreen, a snorkel mask, and a light jacket for the breeze. Respect protected zones—Es Vedrà is a nature reserve, and anchoring in posidonia meadows damages the seafloor. Weather and sea state determine exact stops; the captain will adapt the route for safety and visibility. For a relaxed, scenic half‑day on the water, this private charter delivers focused, low‑effort access to some of Ibiza’s most striking coastal scenery.
