Yacht Charter from Marina Botafoc — Office's Working Guide
Direct answer
Marina Botafoc handles the majority of Aurelius charters. It's the larger marina across from Marina Ibiza, with capacity for yachts up to 60 metres and direct car access. Transfer time from any Ibiza villa: 10–25 minutes. Embarkation takes about 20 minutes from pontoon to lines off.
Marina Botafoc is the office's preferred departure marina for larger yachts. It sits directly across the bay from Marina Ibiza and the Old Town, with capacity for vessels up to 60 metres on the outer pontoons. Most Aurelius weekly charters and superyacht bookings depart from here.
How embarkation works
Your driver brings you to the marina parking, which is one minute from the relevant pontoon by foot or buggy. The captain or chief stewardess meets you on the pontoon, takes your bags, and walks you on board. Welcome drink on the aft deck; the chef confirms dietary notes; the captain reviews the planned route. From arrival on the pontoon to lines off: typically 20 minutes.

Frequently asked
- Is Marina Botafoc the same as Marina Ibiza?
- No — they're two separate marinas, across the bay from each other. Marina Botafoc is the larger of the two and handles more superyachts. Both are 5 minutes apart by car.
- How early should we arrive at the marina before embarkation?
- Ten minutes before the scheduled departure time. The driver brings you to the marina parking, and the crew meets you within a minute on the pontoon.
- Is there parking for our own car?
- Yes — Marina Botafoc has paid parking directly at the marina entrance. Our drivers know the access lanes and drop guests at the pontoon directly.
