Boat Tours in Ibiza – Private boat charter on a Traditional Balearic Yacht

Yacht rental in Ibiza starts at $1,049 for a half or full day with a captain, and I found two charters. Both are private, and both include fuel. Prices are in US dollars, checked in October 2026, and the booking links are affiliate links, as I explain on my about page. If you want to compare cheaper trips first, my guide to boat tours in Ibiza lists 18.

My pick for a yacht rental in Ibiza is the Aruna traditional Balearic boat: $1,049 for 4 to 8 hours, rated 5.0 from 14 reviews, with a named captain and two paddleboards. For a celebration with a clear destination, I’d look at the Rapture Tagomago charter at $1,290, which has no reviews yet.

Yacht Rental Ibiza Spain

Yacht rental in Ibiza, Spain, covers everything from a traditional wooden boat to a modern yacht, and the two listings here show both ends. The Aruna is a renovated traditional Balearic boat, and its captain, Jaime, offers a full-day or a half-day route. The Rapture charter is a modern private yacht with premium sound and lounging areas.

Both are private, so the price does not change with the number of guests, but neither listing states a capacity in the data I have. That is the first thing I’d ask: how many people fit, and whether there is a limit that changes the price. Compare them with a self-drive boat on my boat rental page, where $202 to $309 buys a small boat for a few people, with no captain.

Boat Charter Ibiza

The Aruna boat charter in Ibiza is the better rated of the two: 5.0 from 14 reviews. Reviewers mention Jaime and Krysia as hosts, say the day was well organised and on time, and praise the hospitality. The listing offers two routes, either along the west coast or to the north, depending on the sea conditions on the day, with stops at coves, islets and snorkeling spots.

The $1,049 price includes the captain, insurance, fuel, interior and exterior cleaning, two new SUP boards, snorkeling equipment and courtesy drinks: a bottle of cava, beers and refreshments. Food is not included, but you may bring your own. The duration is 4 to 8 hours, so the price you pay depends on the length you choose. Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before.

Yacht Hire Ibiza

Yacht hire in Ibiza at its most specific is the Rapture charter to Tagomago Island. It starts at Camino 2 Ses Estaques in Santa Eulalia des Riu and takes four hours: 30 minutes out, about 3 hours around Tagomago, and 30 minutes back. The itinerary lists swimming, snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, local snacks and tapas, and welcome refreshments as the options on the island stop.

It costs $1,290 and has no rating yet, so I’d call it an unproven charter from a company that sells half-day, full-day and sunset options. Included are the captain, fuel, beer, wine, cava, soft drinks, towels, snorkeling equipment and a paddle board. The listing excludes non-swimmers and people prone to seasickness. The distance from Ibiza Harbour to Santa Eulalia’s marina is 11.8 kilometres in a straight line by my measurement, which is the transfer you need to plan.

Yacht Rentals Ibiza

Yacht rentals in Ibiza vary by what the price covers, so line the lists up. Aruna adds insurance, cleaning and two SUPs, and Rapture adds towels and a wider drinks list. Neither includes food. Both quote a half-day to full-day range or a fixed four hours rather than an hourly rate, so I would ask the operator for a written price for your exact length.

Remember that the booking page is a listing, not a contract. Ask what happens if the sea is rough, because Aruna says the route depends on conditions, and ask whether a deposit applies. The free cancellation window is 24 hours on both.

Sailboat Charter Ibiza

A sailboat charter in Ibiza is not a yacht, but it is the closest step down in price. The Bora Sailing day trip to Formentera is a private 43-foot sailboat for up to 7 guests, $741 for 8 hours, rated 4.9 from 57 reviews. It includes a local captain, snorkeling gear, stand-up paddleboards, floaties, a restroom and WiFi.

Compared with Aruna, you pay $308 less for a similar-length day, and the listing states the capacity, which Aruna does not. I cover it, and the other captained boats, on my private boat tour page. A sailboat also appears among the shared options: the Lost in Paradise sailing catamaran with BBQ is $135 for 5 hours, described on my catamaran tour page.

Sailing Charter Ibiza

If you mean a sailing charter in Ibiza where the sails do the work, rather than a motor yacht rental in Ibiza, the Bora Sailing boat and the Lost in Paradise catamaran are the two in my data. Neither goes beyond a day, and neither is a multi-day charter. I found no listing for an overnight or week-long charter in my data, so if that is your plan, the operators’ own sites are the place to ask.

For a day that mixes boat and swimming without a private charter, the snorkeling tour page has six trips from $51. For an evening, the sunset cruise page lists five, and the party boat page compares three boat parties.

How the Price of a Yacht Rental in Ibiza Works

A yacht rental in Ibiza is priced for the boat and the time, not per person, which changes how you compare it with a shared trip. Aruna at $1,049 covers 4 to 8 hours, so a half day sits at the low end and a full day is the same listing at a longer length. Rapture at $1,290 is a fixed four hours. Put those next to the shared Formentera catamarans at $112 and $131 for 12 hours, and the charters cost roughly ten times as much per booking.

What you buy for the difference is control: a private route, your own schedule and a crew that works for your group alone. Whether that is worth it depends on how many people share the bill. For yacht rentals in Ibiza, a group of eight splits $1,049 into about $131 each, which matches the price of a long shared catamaran day. A couple pays the whole amount, and I would then choose a smaller private boat instead, such as the Blue Medusa trip at $550.

What to Check Before You Charter a Yacht

Before you pay for a yacht rental in Ibiza, check five things. First, the capacity of the boat and whether the price covers your group. Second, the pick-up point, which is Santa Eulalia for Rapture and a Google Maps link on Aruna. Third, the length of the trip you are buying, from 4 hours to a full day. Fourth, what is not included: both leave out food. Fifth, who can join: Rapture excludes non-swimmers and people prone to seasickness.

Because the trip is private, weather changes the plan rather than cancelling it, as the Aruna listing says about its two routes. Take sun cream, a hat and swimwear. The listings do not state a minimum age or a wind limit, and I will not guess one.

Which Yacht Charter I’d Book

For yacht rental in Ibiza, I’d book Aruna for most people because 14 reviews rate it 5.0 and the day is flexible. I’d choose Rapture for a birthday or a proposal at Tagomago once it has reviews, or if the date matters more than the rating. If neither budget fits, a shared catamaran or a snorkeling cruise gives you a day on the sea for a tenth of the price. To compare everything, go back to my overview of Ibiza boat trips compared, or the home page.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a yacht rental in Ibiza?

The two yacht charters I compared cost $1,049 for the Aruna traditional Balearic boat (4 to 8 hours) and $1,290 for the Rapture yacht to Tagomago (4 hours). Both prices are for the boat with a captain, and both include fuel. Cheaper private options start at $269 for a four-hour boat and $550 for a private snorkeling trip.

What is included in a yacht charter in Ibiza?

Aruna includes the captain, insurance, fuel, cleaning, two new SUP boards, snorkeling gear and courtesy drinks including a bottle of cava and beers. Rapture includes the captain, fuel, beer, wine, cava, soft drinks, towels, snorkeling gear and a paddle board. Neither listing includes food, though Aruna says you may bring your own.

Where do yacht charters in Ibiza leave from?

The Rapture charter starts and ends at Camino 2 Ses Estaques in Santa Eulalia des Riu, on the east coast. The Aruna listing only says Open in Google Maps, so I'd read the pick-up point on the booking page before you pay. The Aruna captain chooses a west-coast or a north route depending on the sea.

Can I cancel a yacht charter in Ibiza?

Both listings offer a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start. That is the booking-platform text, so I'd read the policy on the booking page, because charters have a captain and a boat reserved for you. Sea conditions can also change the route, as the Aruna listing says.

Is a yacht charter in Ibiza suitable for non-swimmers?

The Rapture listing excludes non-swimmers and people prone to seasickness. The Aruna listing states no such limit in the data I have, but both trips include swim and snorkeling stops, so I'd tell the operator about swimmers in your group before you book. A shared tour with a life jacket for non-swimmers may suit better.
