Yacht Charter Ibiza Cost in 2026: A Realistic Price Ladder by Boat Size

Most quote ranges you see online for Ibiza yacht charter are either compressed (one number — usually the lowest, with everything stripped out) or padded (the same boat priced as if a broker stacked three commissions on it). Neither helps you budget.

Here is what a charter actually costs in Ibiza in 2026, by boat size, in the rates we quote owner-direct. Fuel, marina, food and tips are addressed separately because in Ibiza they always are.

Day rates by boat category

RIBs and small tenders (6 – 11 m)

€260 – €600 per day, skipper and fuel often bundled at this size. Right for two to six guests doing Formentera and back. Examples in our fleet: De Antonio D36, Orix.

Sport boats (12 – 18 m)

€1,800 – €3,200 per day for the boat with skipper. Fuel €350 – €900 on a full Formentera day depending on speed. Six to ten adults, a sun-pad, a small cabin for changing. The Ibiza workhorse — see Vibe 49 or Caiman 40.

Flybridge (18 – 25 m)

€4,000 – €9,000 per day, crew of two to four. Shaded dining, three to five cabins, real range. Examples: Juliet 65, Aya One 90.

Superyachts (28 m+)

€9,000 – €25,000 per day, captain plus four to six crew, full chef brigade. Built for week-long charters; day rates are offered but uncommon. Our flagship Friendship sits at the top of this range.

Weekly rates and how APA works

From five nights up, the standard structure is the charter fee plus an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) of 25 – 35 % of the fee. The APA covers fuel, food, drinks, marina fees, customs in transit countries, and crew tips. Anything unspent comes back at the end. See our deep-dive on how APA actually works.

Weekly rates compress cost-per-day by 15 – 25 % against the equivalent multi-day-rate booking. A 90ft sport flybridge that quotes €7,500/day might come in around €38,000 for the week before APA.

What is and isn't in the headline rate

• In: the boat, the crew, the day, basic drinks and water, often a light breakfast and lunch on day charters.
• Out: fuel, marina fees outside the home port (Formentera typically charges daily on top), VAT where applicable, anything bespoke (a touring chef, jet-ski rental, helicopter transfers).
• Negotiable but commonly out:wine list, full chef brigade for sit-down dinners, water toys beyond the standard inventory, dockage at marina clubs (e.g. Lío, El Chiringuito Sur).

How to read a quote

Three lines matter: the rate, the APA percentage, and the extras list. If a quote bundles them into one number it's either generous (rare in Ibiza) or hiding something — usually fuel.

Our office quotes the three lines separately every time, with an APA estimate based on the captain's actual fuel-burn numbers for that boat. Send us the dates and group size at the enquiry desk and the answer is back within the hour.
