Charter Pershing in Ibiza: Models, Prices and Routes (2026)
The Most Requested Pershing Models for Ibiza Charters
Pershing yachts are defined by their sleek profiles and the ability to reach speeds that most luxury vessels cannot match. For the 2026 season, the fleet available for charter in Ibiza typically ranges from agile 45-foot day boats to expansive 100-foot superyachts. Below are the most sought-after models for groups of 4 to 12 guests.
- Pershing 5X: The entry point into the "X" generation. Ideal for day charters, it accommodates up to 12 people for coastal cruising and features 2 cabins for overnight stays.
- Pershing 62/6X: A favorite for its balance of size and maneuverability. It typically offers a 3-cabin layout and a large hydraulic swim platform, making it perfect for families.
- Pershing 74/7X: Known for the iconic "disappearing" glass door that merges the cockpit and salon. This model provides ample sunbathing areas and high-speed stability for crossings to Formentera.
- Pershing 82/8X: A powerhouse featuring an upper sun deck (sport fly) that doesn't compromise the aerodynamic silhouette. It usually accommodates 8 guests in 4 luxury cabins plus crew.
- Pershing 9X/108: These are true superyachts. With 4 cabins and a dedicated crew of 3 to 5, these vessels are designed for weekly charters where speed and absolute luxury are non-negotiable.

Best 1-Day Routes from Marina Ibiza
Most Pershing yachts are berthed in the prestigious Marina Ibiza or Marina Botafoch, located just minutes from the old town (Dalt Vila). Given their speed, a Pershing allows you to see more of the coastline in a single day than a standard displacement motor boat.
The Formentera Classic: Depart from Marina Ibiza and head south toward Espalmador, a private island with pristine white sands. After a swim, cruise to Playa de Ses Illetes for lunch at world-famous beach clubs like Juan y Andrea or Beso Beach. The speed of a Pershing means you can also reach the rugged cliffs of Cap de Barbaria before heading back at sunset.
The West Coast & Es Vedrà: Head west past Cala Jondal (home to Blue Marlin). Continue toward the mystical rock formation of Es Vedrà. A Pershing 74 can make this transit in record time, leaving you more hours to snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of Cala Tarida or Cala Comta before returning to port.
Weekly Itineraries: Exploring the Pityusic Islands
For those booking a 7-day charter, a Pershing provides the range to explore the entire archipelago, including the quieter corners of Ibiza and the neighboring island of Mallorca.
- Day 1-2: South Ibiza & Formentera. Focus on the vibrant beach club scene and the turquoise waters of Caló des Mort.
- Day 3: West Coast Seclusion. Anchor at Cala D'Hort and explore the sea caves near Cala Xuclar.
- Day 4: Crossing to Mallorca. Taking advantage of the Pershing's 30+ knot cruising speed, cross to the southwest of Mallorca (Andratx) in approximately 2.5 to 3 hours.
- Day 5-6: North Ibiza. Return to the rugged north coast of Ibiza. Visit Benirràs for the sunset drums and anchor in the deep bay of Portinatx.
- Day 7: Tagomago & Santa Eulalia. Stop by the private island of Tagomago for a final day of jet-skiing and privacy before returning to Marina Ibiza.
What is Included in Your Pershing Charter?
Understanding the cost structure is vital for a seamless experience. When you book a Pershing in Ibiza, the "Charter Fee" usually covers the yacht rental, the crew, and the base port mooring. However, several additional costs apply:
- The Crew: Professional skippers and deckhands are always included. On larger models (70ft+), a stewardess or chef is often part of the permanent crew.
- VAT: In Spain, a 21% Value Added Tax is mandatory on all yacht charters.
- Fuel: This is the most significant variable. Pershing yachts consume substantial fuel due to their high-performance engines. Fuel is usually charged by the hour of engine usage.
- APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance): For multi-day trips, an APA of 30-35% of the charter fee is paid upfront to cover food, drinks, fuel, and secondary port fees.
- Toys: Most charters include paddleboards, snorkeling gear, and sometimes a Seabob or Williams Tender.
Logistics: Marinas and Berthing in Ibiza
Ibiza has several marinas, but Pershing owners and charterers typically prefer Marina Ibiza and Marina Botafoch. These marinas offer the deep-water berths required for larger models and provide immediate access to high-end dining and nightlife (such as Lío and Pacha). If you plan to dock in Formentera (Marina de Formentera), it is essential to book months in advance, as berths are extremely limited during the peak months of July and August.
Season and Weather: When to Book for 2026
The Ibiza charter season officially begins in May and runs through October. For those seeking the classic Ibiza experience with hot weather and buzzing beach clubs, July and August are the peak months. However, the "shoulder season" in June and September offers a better balance: the water is warm enough for swimming, the marinas are less crowded, and charter rates for a Pershing can be 15-20% lower than in mid-August. October is increasingly popular for those who prioritize calm seas and privacy over the party scene.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much fuel does a Pershing consume for a trip to Formentera?
Fuel consumption depends on the model. A Pershing 5X might consume €600 - €900 for a standard return trip from Ibiza to Formentera, while a larger Pershing 82 could exceed €1,800 - €2,500 depending on the speed and route taken.
Can I drive the Pershing myself?
Most Pershing yachts in Ibiza are commercially registered and require a professional captain provided by the owner. This ensures the safety of the vessel and allows guests to enjoy the luxury experience without the responsibility of navigating high-performance surface drives.
Is a Pershing suitable for families with children?
Yes, Pershing yachts are excellent for families. Many models feature high bulwarks and secure aft decks. The speed of the vessel also means less time spent "in transit" and more time anchored in bays where children can enjoy water toys and swimming.
What is the maximum capacity for a day charter?
Under Spanish maritime law, most charter yachts are licensed for a maximum of 12 guests plus crew, regardless of the yacht's size. For groups larger than 12, you would need to charter two separate vessels and tandem cruise.
