A week on a charter yacht in Ibiza isn't one long ride. It's six days of choices about where to anchor and one rest day where you don't move. Below is a realistic schedule we've run on the same boat — a flybridge of 22 – 28 metres — for groups of six to ten guests in July and September.

Times are local. Anchor positions are approximate; the captain adjusts for wind, swell and the day's harbour rotation.

Day 1 · Embark + Es Vedrà sunset

14:00 board at Marina Ibiza or Marina Botafoc
15:00 cast off, head south-west along the coast
17:00 anchor off Cala d'Hort with Es Vedrà in view
19:30 sundowner aperitif on the bow
21:00 dinner aboard, anchor overnight or return to marina

Day 2 · Formentera south coast

08:00 swim from anchor
09:30 cross to Formentera (45 min on a fast boat)
11:00 anchor off Cala Saona; SUPs, swim, paddle
14:00 lunch ashore — Beso Beach or Es Ministre, table by the office
17:00 re-anchor off Illetes (sandbar)
20:00 dinner aboard, anchored overnight off Illetes

Day 3 · Rest day, Cala Conta

The crew also needs a slow day. Anchor off Cala Conta or Cala Bassa, run the tender for short shore trips, lunch on board, afternoon nap. Sunset back at the home marina; many guests choose dinner ashore (Heart, Sa Brisa, Es Boldado) to break up the week.

Day 4 · Northern Ibiza & Tagomago

09:00 head north past Cap Martinet
11:00 anchor off Cala Mastella for swim
13:00 lunch at El Bigotes (boat-to-shore, reservation essential — we book three months ahead)
15:00 cross to Tagomago island for an afternoon at anchor
19:00 sundowner cruise back, dinner aboard

Day 5 · Crossing to Mallorca

Crossing day. 06:30 departure puts you off the Mallorca cliffs by lunch. Anchor off Cala Salobre or Cala Pi, lunch on board, afternoon swim in 30m water. Overnight at anchor or run to Palma marina if you want a city evening. The captain's call based on wind and swell — see our Ibiza ⇄ Mallorca crossing guide.

Day 6 · Espalmador & sandbar lunch

09:00 return crossing or local-island day
11:00 anchor between Formentera and Espalmador (sandbar)
13:00 floating lunch (catered from Es Cavallet)
17:00 transfer to Marina Ibiza by tender if guests want the night ashore

Day 7 · Morning swim and disembark

Most weekly contracts end at noon on day eight, with effective disembark on day seven evening. Schedule a final morning swim, breakfast aboard, last shore lunch, and disembark to the airport via villa or transfer.

What we adjust for

Wind shifts. Swell can move you north earlier in the week (when the south coast is exposed) and reverse it. Weather is also why weekly charters have built-in flex days — never schedule a hard dinner reservation 4 days out.
