Charter & Rent a De Antonio D42 in Ibiza: 2026 Guide, Prices & Routes
De Antonio D42 Technical Specifications
The De Antonio D42 is celebrated for its vertical bow and clean lines, but its true genius lies in the "hidden" engine configuration.

Why the D42 is the Ultimate Ibiza Performer
Ibiza’s coastline is defined by dramatic cliffs and shallow, turquoise lagoons. The De Antonio D42 is specifically engineered for this environment. Unlike traditional inboard yachts of this size, the D42’s minimal draft allows you to get closer to the shore at Cala Jondal or the mud baths of Espalmador without fear of grounding. The hull is designed to handle the "choppy" afternoon sea states often found in the channel between Ibiza and Formentera, ensuring a dry and stable ride even at 30 knots.
Socializing is at the heart of the D42 experience. The deck features three distinct zones: a large aft solarium for sunbathing, a central dinette that seats 12 comfortably under a carbon fiber T-Top, and a forward lounge. This layout is perfect for the Ibiza "beach club" vibe, allowing your group to move freely between the water and the shade while anchored in front of Blue Marlin or Casa Jondal.

Curated Itineraries: From Marina Ibiza to the Horizon
Most D42 units are birthed in Marina Ibiza or Marina Santa Eulalia. These locations provide the perfect springboard for both short-term rentals and long-term charters across our global destinations.
The 1-Day "Formentera Essential"
Departing from Marina Ibiza at 10:00 AM, head south toward Espalmador, a private island paradise. After a swim in the crystal waters, cruise to Ses Illetes for a late lunch at Juan y Andrea or Beso Beach. Spend the afternoon anchored at Cala Saona before a sunset cruise back past the iconic Es Vedrà rock, arriving in port by 8:00 PM.
The 3-7 Day "White Isle Discovery"
- Day 1: Ibiza Town to Formentera (Ses Illetes). Stay overnight in the bay.
- Day 2: Explore the caves of Cala Embaster and the lighthouse at Es Cap de Barbaria.
- Day 3: Cross back to Ibiza's west coast. Anchor at Cala d'Hort for the best view of Es Vedrà.
- Day 4-5: Head North to Cala Benirrás for the Sunday drums and explore the rugged, quiet coves near Portinatx.
- Day 6-7: Return south via Tagomago Island, a private sanctuary perfect for snorkeling and jet-skiing.
Logistics: Marinas and Berthing in Ibiza
Ibiza offers some of the most prestigious mooring facilities in the world. When chartering a De Antonio D42 in Ibiza, your base will likely be Marina Ibiza, located in the heart of the city near Lío and Pacha. This marina is equipped with high-speed refueling and concierge services. Alternatively, Marina Botafoch offers a slightly more relaxed atmosphere with excellent boutique shopping.
If you are planning to spend nights at anchor, the D42’s 950-liter fuel tank and 250-liter water capacity provide sufficient autonomy for 2-3 days of "off-grid" living before needing to return to a marina for supplies. Be aware that during the peak of 2026, mooring spots in Formentera are limited; we recommend booking your buoy in the Ses Salines Natural Park well in advance through the official Balearic portal.
Inclusions and Financial Considerations
Understanding the "all-in" cost is vital for a seamless experience. Most luxury rentals for the D42 follow these standard terms:
- Included: Professional skipper, standard safety equipment, towels, snorkeling gear, soft drinks, and final cleaning for day rentals.
- Excluded: VAT (21% in Spain), fuel (calculated by engine hours or liters consumed), and food/alcohol catering.
- APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance): For multi-day charters, an APA of 30% is typically required to cover fuel, food, and marina fees. Any unused portion is refunded at the end of the trip.
Best Months and Sea Conditions
The Ibiza boating season officially runs from May to October. For those renting a De Antonio D42 in Ibiza, September is often considered the "connoisseur’s month." The water temperature remains at a pleasant 25°C, the crowds at the beach clubs have thinned, and the prevailing winds are generally calmer than in the spring.
The D42 handles "Tramuntana" (North winds) well due to its hull design, but for the most comfortable experience, skippers will usually recommend staying on the leeward side of the island. If the wind blows from the East, the west coast (Cala Tarida, Cala Conta) becomes a mirror-flat playground.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a license required for renting a De Antonio D42 in Ibiza?
While the D42 can be operated by those with a valid Yachtmaster or equivalent license, most units in Ibiza are provided "with skipper only." This ensures your safety, handles all berthing maneuvers in crowded marinas, and gives you local knowledge of the best hidden coves that aren't on the maps.
How many people can fit when chartering a De Antonio D42 in Ibiza?
The D42 is licensed for up to 12 passengers for day trips. For overnight charters, the boat comfortably sleeps 4 guests in two cabins (one bow double and one mid-ship twin/double). This makes it ideal for two couples or a small family looking for a weekend getaway.
What is the fuel consumption of the D42?
Fuel consumption depends heavily on speed and load. On average, at a cruising speed of 22-25 knots, the D42 consumes approximately 80 to 120 liters per hour total. A standard round trip from Ibiza to Formentera usually costs between €250 and €450 in fuel, depending on the itinerary chosen.
Is the De Antonio D42 suitable for children?
Absolutely. The walk-around design and high bulwarks make it one of the safest boats in its class for families. The hidden outboard engines also mean there are no exposed moving parts or hot surfaces near the swim platform, providing peace of mind for parents with young children.
