Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

A roomy private platform—43ft and unsqueezed

You’ll travel aboard a spacious 43ft sailboat that gives small groups room to move, lounge and learn the basics of sailing without the bustle of larger tourist boats.

THE WATER

Formentera’s crystalline swim stops

The itinerary includes plunges into Formentera’s famously clear water, with complimentary snorkeling gear and SUP on hand to explore underwater life and shallow reefs.

THE FLEX

Customizable rhythm: lessons, lunches and leisure

Days are flexible—learn basic sailing at your own pace, leap off the deck for a swim, and arrange a beach‑club lunch with convenient pick‑up or coordinate an onboard delivery with the captain.

What the day feels like

What the two‑day voyage feels like

The trip moves at an unhurried, maritime tempo: sails trimmed and taught as you cross blue expanses, idle afternoons anchored in small coves for snorkeling and SUP, and the option to step ashore at Formentera’s beaches for a booked lunch. It’s a private, hands‑on way to sample Mediterranean sailing—part instruction, part exploration, part sunlit downtime.

Suitability

1
Small groups and close friendsWith a maximum of four people, the trip is ideal for small groups who want a private, social sailing experience without crowds.
2
Families with childrenListed as suitable for all ages, families can share the boat and water activities together—the private format keeps things contained and manageable.
3
Learners and first‑timersThose curious about sailing will appreciate the on‑board basic lessons and a hands‑on introduction in a low‑pressure private setting.
4
Travelers seeking seclusionIf your aim is to avoid crowded ferries and busy beaches, the private charter format and small group limit better preserve solitude and a sense of escape.

Details to review before reserving

What to Bring

Bring towels and sunscreen. You may also bring your own food and drinks for a deck picnic.

Onboard conveniences

A cooler is available to keep drinks and snacks fresh; travelers are advised to bring ice if they want items to stay icy‑cold all day.

Beach‑club lunches

If you plan to eat at a Formentera beach club, book in advance—tables are hard to get the same day in high season. Alternatively, coordinate onboard delivery (for example, paella) with the captain once aboard.

Food & drink policy

You’re welcome to bring your own food and drinks; many groups opt for a mix of onboard picnic items and a reserved beach‑club meal.
