Question 1

Do I need a boat licence to rent a boat in Ibiza?

Accepted Answer

For most yachts and catamarans on EasyBoat the rental includes a professional skipper, so no licence is required. For small motorboats up to 15 HP no licence is needed; for anything above, a valid licence (PER, ICC or equivalent) is required — every listing makes this clear before you book.

Question 2

How much does it cost to rent a boat in Ibiza for a day?

Accepted Answer

Day charters in Ibiza start from around €350 for a small RIB and reach €2,500+ for a luxury yacht. The average mid-range catamaran or sailboat for 8 guests sits between €450 and €700 per day, fuel and skipper included.

Question 3

What is the best time of year to charter a boat in the Balearics?

Accepted Answer

The Mediterranean season runs from May through October. June and September deliver the best balance of warm water, calm seas and lighter crowds. July and August are peak — book 6–8 weeks ahead.

Question 4

Can I sail from Ibiza to Formentera in a day?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Formentera is a 25–35 minute crossing depending on the boat. Most full-day charters anchor at Ses Illetes or Cala Saona for swimming and lunch, then return for sunset.

Question 5

Is fuel included in the price?

Accepted Answer

On EasyBoat fuel policies are shown upfront on every listing. Most full-day catamaran and sailboat charters include fuel; high-speed motorboats typically charge fuel separately based on consumption.

Question 6

What happens if the weather is bad?

Accepted Answer

If the captain or marina cancels for safety reasons you receive a full refund or free reschedule. Our flexible cancellation applies to weather, sea state and force majeure.
