Charter Lagoon in Ibiza: Models, Prices and Routes (2026)
Chartering a Lagoon catamaran in Ibiza for the 2026 season offers the perfect balance of stability, spaciousness, and luxury for groups of 4 to 12 guests. As the world's leading manufacturer of cruising catamarans, Lagoon provides the ideal platform to explore the Balearic coastline, from the turquoise waters of Formentera to the hidden coves of the west coast.
Most Requested Lagoon Models for Ibiza Charters
Lagoon catamarans are favored in the Mediterranean for their vertical windows—which maximize interior volume—and their expansive flybridges. Depending on your group size and budget, several key models dominate the 2026 charter market in Ibiza.
- Lagoon 40 & 42: These are the most popular choices for groups of 6 to 8. They typically feature 3 or 4 double cabins. The Lagoon 42 is particularly acclaimed for its easy movement between the cockpit and the saloon.
- Lagoon 450 & 46: A step up in luxury, these models offer a dedicated flybridge where guests can lounge while the skipper navigates. They comfortably accommodate 8 to 10 guests and are the "workhorses" of the luxury charter fleet.
- Lagoon 50 & 52: Offering a vast amount of living space, these models often come with 5 or 6 cabins. They are perfect for two families traveling together or large groups of friends.
- Lagoon Sixty 5 & Seventy 7: These are flagship luxury yachts. Available only as crewed charters, they feature high-end finishes, hydraulic swim platforms, and professional chefs.
2026 Price Ranges for Lagoon Charters in Ibiza

Top 1-Day Routes from Ibiza Town
Most Lagoon charters depart from Marina Ibiza, Marina Botafoch, or the Ibiza Magna area. For a single-day excursion, the route toward Formentera is the undisputed favorite due to its crystal-clear waters that rival the Caribbean.
- The Formentera Classic: Depart from Ibiza Town and cross the Freus (the strait between the islands). Anchor at Ses Illetes for lunch at world-famous beach clubs like Juan y Andrea or Beso Beach. Spend the afternoon at Espalmador, an uninhabited island accessible only by boat.
- The West Coast Sunset: Head south toward Cala Jondal, home to Blue Marlin Ibiza. Continue to the majestic rock formation of Es Vedrà. Watching the sunset from the deck of a Lagoon near this mystical landmark is a quintessential Ibiza experience.
7-Day Itinerary: The Full Balearic Experience
A week-long charter allows you to circumnavigate Ibiza or spend more time exploring the quiet anchorages of Formentera. This itinerary is ideal for those booking a charter Lagoon in Ibiza for a full immersion.
- Day 1: Ibiza Town to Talamanca. A short hop to get used to the boat and enjoy a dinner onshore.
- Day 2: Talamanca to Formentera (Ses Illetes). Spend the day swimming in turquoise waters and the night at anchor under the stars.
- Day 3: Formentera (Cala Saona). Famous for its red cliffs and sunset views. Excellent holding ground for catamarans.
- Day 4: Formentera to Es Vedrà and Cala d’Hort. Sail back toward Ibiza’s southwest coast to witness the island's most iconic scenery.
- Day 5: Cala Tarida and Cala Comte. Explore some of the best snorkeling spots and visit the sunset ashrams at Cala Comte.
- Day 6: Puerto de San Miguel to Benirràs. Head north to the rugged side of the island. On Sundays, Benirràs is famous for its tribal drumming sunset ritual.
- Day 7: Portinatx to Santa Eulalia and back to Ibiza Town. A scenic sail down the east coast, stopping at Tagomago Island before returning to the home marina.
Logistics: Marinas and Berthing
Ibiza has several main hubs for catamaran charters. Marina Ibiza and Marina Botafoch are the most prestigious, located directly across from the old town (Dalt Vila). These marinas offer high-end shopping and dining but come with high berthing fees.
Alternatively, many Lagoon fleets are based in San Antonio (Sant Antoni de Portmany) on the west coast. This is often more cost-effective and provides quicker access to the sunset bays. Santa Eulalia on the east coast is a quieter, family-friendly option with excellent facilities. It is important to note that during July and August, booking a berth in any Ibiza marina must be done weeks or months in advance.
What is Included in Your Lagoon Charter?
When booking a Lagoon in Ibiza, it is vital to distinguish between "Bareboat" and "Crewed" charters. Most large catamarans in the Balearics are rented with at least a professional skipper.
- The Yacht: The rental of the vessel and its standard equipment (galley, bedding, towels).
- The Skipper: Usually a daily rate of €200–€300 plus food.
- VAT: In Spain, VAT on yacht charters is 21%, which is often not included in the initial "base price."
- APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance): For luxury crewed charters, an APA of 20-35% is paid upfront to cover fuel, food, drinks, and port fees.
- End Cleaning: A mandatory fee (approx. €250–€500) to prepare the boat for the next guests.
- Comfort Pack: Often includes the outboard engine for the dinghy, bed linen, and snorkeling gear.
Season and Weather Considerations
The Ibiza sailing season runs from May to late October. For those looking for the best balance of weather and sea temperature, late June and early September are ideal. During these months, the "Embata" (thermal wind) provides a steady breeze for sailing without the intense heat of August.
"The stability of a Lagoon catamaran makes it the preferred choice for the Balearic Sea, which can occasionally see short, choppy waves during the afternoon breeze."
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a Lagoon for 2026?
For peak weeks in July and August, we recommend booking 6 to 9 months in advance. Many repeat clients secure their preferred Lagoon models for the following summer by January or February to take advantage of early-booking discounts.
Do I need a license to charter a Lagoon in Ibiza?
If you wish to charter "bareboat" (without a skipper), you must hold a valid International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or a recognized national license (like RYA Day Skipper or higher) that is valid for the size of the catamaran. You will also need a GMDSS radio license in Spanish waters.
Is fuel included in the charter price?
Generally, no. For weekly charters, the boat is delivered with a full tank and must be returned full. Catamarans are fuel-efficient compared to motor yachts, but using the generator for air conditioning will increase consumption.
Can we sail to Mallorca or Menorca on a Lagoon?
While possible, a 7-day charter usually provides enough time only to explore Ibiza and Formentera thoroughly. A crossing to Mallorca takes 7-10 hours depending on the wind, so it is better suited for a 10-14 day itinerary. You can learn more about regional options on our Ibiza yacht charter page.
