Why choose a yacht charter in Ibiza?
Ibiza is the most festive of the Balearic Islands, and more generally of Spain. However, despite its sulphurous reputation, a yacht charter in Ibiza will allow you to get away from the crowds and enjoy the calas and coves in the northern part of the island, which is less crowded in summer. A yacht charter in Ibiza will also give you the opportunity to enjoy water sports such as diving, snorkeling, water skiing and paddle boarding.
What type of boat should you choose for your charter in Ibiza?
- Monohull sailboat charter: a monohull sailboat offers a more dynamic sailing adventure and gives you access to hidden coves that are only accessible by sea. For those seeking thrills and discovery, a monohull sailboat is the ideal choice.
