Luxury Yacht Rental in Ibiza

What makes a yacht a luxury yacht

Length, layout and crew. On this page the line is 60 ft. At that size a yacht has a flybridge with a second helm and its own lounge, an air-conditioned saloon, cabins with bathrooms, a galley and a wide swim platform. The largest Ibiza yachts on the list pass 100 ft.

The cards say what each one carries. Several list stabilisers, which keep the boat steady at anchor; some a hydraulic platform that lowers into the water; some a tender, a generator, a full kitchen, Wi-Fi and a smart TV. A few carry Seabobs or a jet ski.

Captain and crew

Every yacht comes with its captain. Larger yachts add a deckhand or a stewardess, listed on the card: the stewardess serves drinks and lunch and keeps the saloon in order, the deckhand handles the lines, the tender and the toys. You never drive the yacht, and the crew is there for your group alone.

What is included, and what to add

The card shows what is aboard: towels, drinks, snorkel gear, paddle boards and water toys vary by yacht. Ask before you book if one matters to you.

A private chef, catering, a photographer, decorations and transfers from your villa can be added. They are added to the charter when you book, and they are on Ibiza yacht services. A chef needs a yacht with a real galley, which is one reason groups choose the larger boats.

Formentera, Es Vedrà and the south coast

A luxury yacht does the same routes as any Ibiza boat, more slowly and more comfortably. The classic day is Formentera: Espalmador and Ses Illetes for swimming, lunch at anchor, Cala Saona in the afternoon. The other is the south-west of Ibiza: Cala Jondal, the cliffs around Cala d'Hort and the rock of Es Vedrà.

Birthdays, anniversaries and company days often take the bigger yachts for the space and the service. Golden hour on the water is on the Ibiza sunset yacht cruise page.

Bigger groups and the guest limit

A bigger yacht does not always carry more guests. Most Ibiza yachts, large or small, are limited to around 12, and each card shows its own number. The extra length buys space, shade and cabins, not a longer guest list. A group larger than the limit books two yachts and meets at anchor.

What a luxury yacht costs in Ibiza

The price on each boat's card is the whole charter, with the captain. On some boats fuel is part of that total; on others it is paid at the port before boarding, and the card says which. A 50% deposit is paid online to hold the date, and the balance is paid in person on the day.

Prices rise with length and season. July and August are the highest; May, June and late September are quieter on the water and easier to book.

Rental or charter?

They mean the same thing here. "Yacht rental" and "yacht charter" are two searches for one product: a private yacht with its captain and crew for a set number of hours. You never take the yacht out alone.
