SANT JOSEP DE SA TALAIA SAILING FIELD GUIDE
Four Hours Around Es Vedrà: A Private Sail Between Ibiza and Formentera
A 4-hour private cruise aboard a 43-foot sailboat that mixes open-water sailing, swimming, snorkeling and paddleboarding—this guide explains what to expect and how to plan.
Four Hours Around Es Vedrà: A Private Sail Between Ibiza and Formentera.
Onboard a roomy 43-foot sailboat operated by Bora Sailing, this private half-day tour threads the southern coastline of Ibiza and, when weather and preference allow, slips into Formentera’s turquoise coves. In roughly four hours you trade busy ferry decks for quiet anchorages, short sails between landmark cliffs, and unhurried swims in crystal water—an intimate Mediterranean outing calibrated for small groups.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Roomy 43-foot sailboat for a private trip
Step aboard a larger-than-average 43-foot sailboat run by Bora Sailing for a private, flexible half-day: sun on deck, room to move, and an experienced captain who helps tailor the route once you’re on board.
Porroig to Es Vedrà and secret coves
A typical itinerary sails from Porroig along Ibiza’s south coast toward Es Vedrà, with chances to visit Atlantis and other secluded spots reachable only by boat—flexibility to adjust the route is built into the four-hour outing.
Swims, snorkeling and paddleboarding in turquoise bays
Anchors down for crystal-clear swims and snorkeling among vibrant reefs; complimentary snorkeling gear and SUP allow exploration above and below the surface during the four-hour private cruise.
What the day feels like
What the half-day feels like
Expect an active, relaxed four-hour loop: cast off from the meeting point with a small crew, feel the boat pick up in open water, anchor in a sheltered cove for swimming and snorkeling, and let the captain ferry you to the next highlight. The day is deliberately private and flexible—tailored by the captain to match your pace, the wind and sea conditions.

Practical planner
Details to review before reserving
Pack towels and sunscreen. You may bring your own food and drinks for a deck picnic; a cooler is available onboard but bring ice if you want drinks kept very cold. Coordinate any special onboard meals (for example, paella delivery) with the captain once aboard.
If you plan to have lunch at a Formentera beach club, reserve in advance—the operator can arrange convenient pick-up directly from the boat.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
