Charter Nautitech in Ibiza: Models, Prices and Routes (2026)
Most Requested Nautitech Models for Ibiza Charters
Nautitech catamarans are distinguished by their "Open" concept, which merges the saloon and cockpit into one expansive living area on a single level. For the 2026 season in Ibiza, three specific models dominate the charter market, catering to groups ranging from 6 to 12 guests.
- Nautitech 40 Open: The most popular choice for families and small groups. Typically configured with 4 double cabins and 2 bow peaks, it accommodates up to 10 guests. Its compact size makes it incredibly agile for entering tight calas like Cala Saladeta.
- Nautitech 44 Open: A newer addition to the fleet, offering more volume in the hulls and a refined interior. It is ideal for those seeking a premium experience with 4 spacious en-suite cabins, perfect for four couples.
- Nautitech 46 Fly / Open: Available in both the "Open" (low profile) and "Fly" (flybridge) versions. The 46-foot model is the go-to for larger groups of 12, offering expansive sunbathing areas and superior stability in the channel between Ibiza and Formentera.

Top 1-Day Routes from Ibiza Town
For those booking a day charter, the primary goal is usually the short hop to the pristine waters of Formentera. Departing from Marina Ibiza or Marina Botafoch, a typical day on a Nautitech looks like this:
- The Formentera Classic: Depart Ibiza Town and cross the Freus (the strait between the islands). Anchor at Espalmador for a morning swim in turquoise waters, then move to Ses Illetes for lunch at world-famous beach clubs like Juan y Andrea or Beso Beach.
- West Coast Secret: Head south toward Cala Jondal, home to Blue Marlin Ibiza. This route provides excellent sailing conditions for the Nautitech’s hull design. After lunch, cruise toward the majestic rock of Es Vedrà for a sunset toast before returning to port.
7-Day Itinerary: The Full Pitiusan Experience
A week-long charter allows you to circumnavigate Ibiza and spend multiple nights anchored in Formentera’s quietest bays. This is the best way to experience a Nautitech Ibiza vacation.
- Day 1: Ibiza Town to Cala Jondal. A short shake-down sail to get used to the catamaran's controls and enjoy a first night under the stars.
- Day 2: Cala Jondal to Formentera (Ses Illetes). Spend the day in the Caribbean-like waters of the North of Formentera.
- Day 3: Exploring South Formentera. Sail down to Caló des Mort and anchor near the cliffs of La Mola.
- Day 4: Formentera to Es Vedrà and Cala d'Hort. Witness the most iconic sunset in the Balearics from the deck of your boat.
- Day 5: West Coast Wonders. Visit Cala Tarida and Cala Comte. These areas are shallow and perfect for the low draft of a Nautitech catamaran.
- Day 6: Northern Escape. Sail to Puerto de San Miguel or the rugged Cala Portinatx, away from the main tourist crowds.
- Day 7: Tagomago and Return. Pass the private island of Tagomago and sail down the east coast back to Ibiza Town.
Logistics: Marinas and Inclusions
Most Nautitech charters originate from the marinas in Ibiza Town (Marina Ibiza, Marina Botafoch, or Ibiza Magna) or San Antonio (Sant Antoni de Portmany) on the west coast. San Antonio is often more affordable for berthing and provides quicker access to the sunset strips.
What is typically included: Standard charters include the boat rental, VAT (21% in Spain), and initial insurance. What is NOT included:
- Skipper & Crew: Usually €1,300 – €1,800 per week plus food.
- APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance): Usually 20-30% of the charter fee to cover fuel, food, drinks, and mooring fees.
- Fuel: Catamarans are fuel-efficient, but you are responsible for what you consume.
- End Cleaning: A mandatory fee ranging from €250 to €500.
Best Time to Charter in Ibiza
The Ibiza sailing season runs from May to October. For those prioritizing sailing performance, the thermal winds in May and June are consistent and the marinas are less crowded. July and August offer the warmest water and the most vibrant social scene, but expect "stern-to" mooring to be expensive and anchorages to be busy. September is considered by many locals to be the best month; the water remains 25°C, the heat is manageable, and the "Closing Parties" bring a unique energy to the island.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a license to charter a Nautitech in Ibiza?
Yes, to charter bareboat, you need a valid ICC (International Certificate of Competence) or a nationally recognized equivalent that is accepted by the Spanish maritime authorities. If you do not have one, you must hire a professional skipper.
Why choose Nautitech over Lagoon or Fountaine Pajot?
Nautitech catamarans are lighter and have a more streamlined hull shape. Unlike brands that focus on "floating apartment" volume, Nautitech focuses on the sailing experience. The outboard helms provide a better view of the sails and a more direct connection to the water.
Can we sail from Ibiza to Mallorca on a Nautitech?
While possible, a crossing to Mallorca takes approximately 8–10 hours. Most guests find that a 7-day charter is better spent fully exploring Ibiza and Formentera rather than spending two full days in open water transit.
Are Nautitech catamarans suitable for children?
Absolutely. The "Open" design means there are fewer stairs and a seamless transition from the indoor lounge to the outdoor deck, making it easier to keep an eye on younger children. The netting at the bow is also a favorite spot for kids while at anchor.
