How to Rent a Boat in Ibiza: Everything You Need to Know

Booking a boat in Ibiza is one of the best ways to discover the island, reach crystal-clear coves and enjoy a private day out with friends, family or your partner.

However, before choosing a boat, it is important to consider a few aspects: how many people will be joining, which route you would like to take, what kind of experience you are looking for and which services you need on board.

In this guide, we explain how to book a boat in Ibiza step by step so that you can organise your trip easily.

1. Decide what kind of experience you are looking for

The first step is to think about how you would like to enjoy the day.

Some of the most popular plans include:

  • Visiting Formentera by boat.
  • Exploring Ibiza’s coves.
  • Celebrating a birthday or private event.
  • Enjoying a romantic boat trip.
  • Spending the day sailing with friends.
  • Organising an experience with catering.
  • Watching the sunset from the sea.

You do not need to have the entire route planned from the beginning. Explaining the kind of experience you have in mind will help the team recommend the most suitable boat for you.

2. Indicate how many people will be joining

Capacity is one of the most important factors when choosing a boat.

Not all boats can accommodate the same number of passengers. It is also important to consider not only the maximum capacity, but the available space so that the group can move around, relax and enjoy the day comfortably.

In the Brutal Ibiza Boats fleet, you can filter the options according to the number of passengers, the type of boat and your approximate budget.

For couples or small groups, a sports boat may be enough. For larger groups, celebrations or private events, choosing a bigger boat may be more comfortable.

3. Choose your departure date

The availability of routes and schedules may depend on:

  • The time of year.
  • The departure port.
  • The selected boat.
  • Sea conditions.
  • Weather conditions.

4. Choose your boat

Ibiza offers different types of boats, each designed for a different kind of plan.

Motorboats – They are a dynamic option for exploring several areas during the day and travelling quickly and easily.

Premium boats – They combine comfort, design and excellent features for spending a full day at sea.

Yachts – They are designed for those looking for more space, privacy and an exclusive experience.

Catamarans – They are especially suitable for groups, events and plans where spacious shared areas are important.

Before making your decision, check the capacity, relaxation areas, included services and available extras.

5. Check what is included in the price

Before confirming your booking, it is important to check which services are included.

Depending on the boat, the price may include:

  • The boat.
  • A professional skipper.
  • Insurance.
  • Safety equipment.
  • Drinks.
  • Towels.
  • Paddleboarding equipment or other accessories.
  • Final cleaning.

You should also ask whether fuel is included or calculated according to the route. At Brutal Ibiza Boats, the information may vary depending on the boat and the service booked, so requesting a personalised quote before booking is recommended.

6. Add extra services

A boat trip can be customised with a range of extras:

  • On-board catering.
  • Restaurant bookings.
  • Water toys.
  • Seabob.
  • E-foil.

7. Confirm your booking

Once you have selected the boat, you will receive the necessary information to complete your booking.

Always check:

  • The date and time.
  • The departure port.
  • The number of passengers.
  • The booking amount.
  • The cancellation policy.
  • The included services.
  • The cost of any extras.

During the high season, especially in July and August, booking in advance is recommended so that you have more options available.

8. Get ready for the day of departure

On the day of your experience, bring comfortable clothes, swimwear, sun protection, sunglasses and a light layer for the return journey.

It is also advisable to arrive at the meeting point with enough time to meet the skipper, store your belongings and receive a brief explanation before setting off.
