Our take
I think this is the best pick if you want the Ses Illetes swim and a long afternoon in Formentera without the return party. The flexible return ferry is a real plus if you want to catch the sunset on the island or head back early.

Meeting point
Pier69, Carrer de La Punta, 3, Eivissa (Platja d'en Bossa).
The catamaran leaves Platja d'en Bossa at 9:15 AM. Return ferry times, boarding point and arrival port are confirmed at check-in.
The experience
What you will see
- Espalmador and Ses Illetes from the water, with time to swim.
- Formentera at your own pace for most of the day.
- The ferry ride into Ibiza, with Dalt Vila ahead.
How it works
You board at Platja d'en Bossa at 9:15 AM and have breakfast on board. The catamaran anchors at Espalmador and Ses Illetes for swimming, paddleboarding or snorkelling, serves a Mediterranean lunch buffet and drops you at La Savina around 1:15 PM. From there the island is yours: you return to Ibiza on whichever regular ferry suits you, ticket included.
Who I recommend it for
- Couples and families who want Formentera without a party.
- Anyone who prefers to choose when to head back.
Who I don't recommend it for
- Anyone after a boat party: the sunset party version is for that.
- Anyone wanting a guided tour in Formentera: on land you're on your own.
Accessibility
Check accessibility with the provider.
Cancellation policy
