Sunset Timing by Month: When to Lift Anchor for Es Vedrà
Direct answer
Ibiza sunset runs from about 21:30 in late June to 18:15 by late October. Leave your last lunch anchorage roughly 60–90 minutes before sunset to reach the Es Vedrà / Cala d'Hort line with light to spare. The table below gives the month-by-month departure.
Skip ahead — the office handles the rest
There is one moment a charter is quietly built around: the sun dropping behind Es Vedrà, the great limestone rock off the southwest coast, with the boat sitting in open water to watch it. Get there early and you drift into position; get there late and you are still motoring when it happens. Timing is everything, and it moves by nearly three hours across the season.
Sunset Run to Es Vedrà
The classic sunset line — down the south coast, past Cala d'Hort, to open water under Es Vedrà.

Office note
The captain tracks this to the minute and will call the departure for you — but if you are choosing a charter month partly for long evenings, June and July buy you a 21:25–21:30 sunset and the latest possible dinner ashore.
