Charter & Rent a Galeon 460 Fly in Ibiza: Prices, Routes & 2026 Guide
Galeon 460 Fly: Technical Specifications and Features
The Galeon 460 Fly is a masterclass in naval architecture, designed by Tony Castro to maximize usable space without compromising on performance. It is particularly famous for its fold-out balconies, which significantly increase the beam when at anchor, creating a floating terrace feel that is unmatched in the 46-foot category.

| Beam (Standard / Beach Mode) | 4.37 meters / 5.66 meters |
| Draft | 0.90 meters |
| Cabins / Berths | 3 Cabins / 6 Berths |
| Maximum Capacity (Day) | 12 Passengers |

The interior features a full-beam master suite with a private ensuite, a VIP forward cabin, and a twin guest cabin. The cockpit joins seamlessly with the galley, creating an open-plan social area that flows directly onto the hydraulic swim platform.
Why the Galeon 460 Fly is Perfect for Ibiza’s Waters
Ibiza’s coastline is defined by hidden coves (calas) and shallow turquoise anchorages. The Galeon 460 Fly’s shallow draft of just 0.90 meters allows you to get closer to the shoreline in places like Cala Jondal or Espalmador than many larger yachts. This proximity is essential for those who want to swim in the clearest waters or enjoy a short tender ride to world-class beach clubs like Blue Marlin.
The flybridge is a critical feature for the Balearic climate. It provides a secondary helm station with 360-degree visibility—ideal for navigating the busy waters of the Es Freus passage between Ibiza and Formentera—and offers a dedicated sunbathing area away from the main deck’s social activities. When the "Beach Mode" balconies are deployed, the yacht becomes a wide platform, perfect for launching paddleboards or snorkeling gear into the Mediterranean.
Chartering Costs: Daily and Weekly Rates for 2026
When planning to rent a Galeon 460 Fly in Ibiza, pricing fluctuates based on the demand cycles of the Mediterranean season. Rates generally exclude VAT (21% in Spain) and fuel costs.
| Season | Daily Rate (Est.) | Weekly Rate (Est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Low (May/Oct) | €2,200 - €2,600 | €14,000 - €16,500 |
| Mid (June/Sept) | €2,800 - €3,200 | €18,000 - €21,000 |
| High (July/August) | €3,500 - €4,200 | €22,000 - €26,000 |
Bareboat vs. Skippered: While some experienced sailors may seek a bareboat charter, most Galeon 460 units in Ibiza are offered as skippered or crewed charters. A professional skipper ensures the safety of the vessel and manages the complex systems (like the hydraulic balconies), while also providing local knowledge of secluded spots like Cala Llentrisca. A fully crewed charter may also include a hostess for meal service and interior maintenance.
One-Day Itineraries from Marina Ibiza
Most Galeon 460 Fly rentals depart from Marina Ibiza or Marina Botafoch. These central locations offer immediate access to the southern highlights of the island.
- The Formentera Classic: Depart Marina Ibiza, cross the Es Freus strait, and anchor at Playa de Ses Illetes. Enjoy lunch at Juan y Andrea or Beso Beach. Spend the afternoon at the uninhabited island of Espalmador before returning at sunset.
- West Coast Sunset: Head west toward Es Vedrà, the iconic limestone rock formation. Stop at Cala d'Hort for a swim and then cruise past Cala Tarida. The Galeon’s flybridge is the perfect vantage point for the legendary Ibiza sunset.
- Hidden North: For those seeking peace, head north toward Tagomago Private Island. The rugged cliffs and deep blue waters of Cala Mastella offer a stark, beautiful contrast to the busier southern beaches.
Weekly Itineraries: Exploring the Pityusic Archipelago
Chartering a Galeon 460 Fly in Ibiza for a week allows for a more relaxed pace and a deeper exploration of the available boat options and island destinations.
- Day 1-2: Ibiza Town and Formentera. Focus on the turquoise waters of Migjorn beach.
- Day 3: South Coast Ibiza. Anchor at Porroig, a natural harbor protected from most winds.
- Day 4-5: West Coast. Explore the caves of Cala Bassa and the vibrant atmosphere of San Antonio Bay.
- Day 6: The North. Visit Portinatx and the bohemian bay of Benirràs, famous for its Sunday drumming ceremonies.
- Day 7: Santa Eulària and return to Marina Ibiza. A gentle cruise back with a stop at the peaceful Cala Llonga.
Logistics: Marinas and Berthing in Ibiza
Mooring fees in Ibiza are among the highest in the Mediterranean during the peak months of July and August. If your charter starts and ends in Marina Ibiza, the first and last nights are often included, but intermediate nights in other ports like Marina Santa Eulalia or Sant Antoni de Portmany will incur extra costs. It is highly recommended to book berths months in advance for 2026. Many guests choose to spend nights at anchor (weather permitting) to enjoy the serenity of the Mediterranean and avoid the high costs of the marinas.
What is Included in Your Charter?
Understanding the "all-in" cost is vital when renting a luxury yacht. Standard contracts usually follow these lines:
- Included: The yacht, the skipper (usually), standard equipment, insurance, and initial cleaning.
- Excluded: VAT (21%), Fuel (calculated by engine hours), and the APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance).
- APA: For weekly charters, an APA of 30% of the charter fee is typically required to cover food, drinks, fuel, and mooring fees. Any remaining balance is refunded at the end of the trip.
- Extras: Luxury water toys like SeaBobs or E-Foils are often available as add-ons if they are not already part of the yacht's inventory.
Best Months and Sea Conditions
The Ibiza sailing season runs from May to October.
- May & October: Cooler water (19-21°C), but calm seas and very few crowds. Great for those who value privacy.
- June & September: The "sweet spot." Warm air, comfortable water temperatures, and a vibrant island atmosphere without the August peak.
- July & August: The hottest months (28-32°C air). The sea is like a swimming pool, but popular anchorages like Ses Illetes become very crowded.
