Charter Princess in Ibiza: Models, Prices and Routes (2026)

·7 min
Renting a Princess yacht in Ibiza represents the pinnacle of British naval engineering meeting the vibrant lifestyle of the Balearic Islands. As we look toward the 2026 season, these vessels remain the preferred choice for groups of 4 to 12 guests seeking a balance of high-performance cruising and sophisticated outdoor living spaces between Ibiza and Formentera.

Most Requested Princess Models for Ibiza Charters

The Princess shipyard is renowned for its "V Class" sports yachts and "Flybridge" motor yachts, both of which are highly prevalent in the Pityusic Islands. For 2026, the fleet available through our curated selection of boats focuses on models that prioritize deck space for sunbathing and hydraulic platforms for easy water access.

  • Princess V50 / V55: Ideal for day charters, these open-style yachts accommodate up to 12 guests for day trips and 4 to 6 for overnight stays. They are prized for their agility and ability to tuck into shallow coves like Cala Mastella.
  • Princess F62 / F70: These Flybridge models offer an elevated helm position and a secondary social deck. With 3 to 4 cabins, they are the standard for families wishing to spend a week living aboard while exploring the hidden corners of Es Vedrà.
  • Princess S78: Part of the Sportbridge range, this model combines the sleek lines of a sport yacht with the luxury of a flybridge, often featuring high-end water toys and a tender garage.
  • Princess Y85: A true motor yacht experience for larger groups, offering expansive beam widths and a professional crew of 3 to 4 to cater to every requirement.

Top 1-Day Routes from Ibiza Town

Most Princess yachts are berthed in Marina Ibiza or Marina Botafoch, providing immediate access to the southern channel. A standard 8-hour day charter usually follows a route toward the pristine waters of Formentera.

  • The Formentera Classic: Depart Marina Ibiza toward Espalmador, a private island paradise with turquoise waters. Continue to Ses Illetes for a lunch reservation at Beso Beach or Juan y Andrea. Spend the afternoon anchored near the cliffs of Cala Saona before returning at sunset.
  • The West Coast & Es Vedrà: Head west toward the mystical rock of Es Vedrà. This route offers dramatic scenery and stops at Cala Jondal (home to Blue Marlin) and the crystal-clear cove of Cala Tarida.
  • Tagomago & The North: For those seeking privacy, cruise north toward the private island of Tagomago. This area is less crowded and offers excellent snorkeling opportunities in the rugged bays near San Carlos.

Extended 3 to 7-Day Itineraries

A weekly charter allows for a full circumnavigation of Ibiza and a deep dive into the Balearic lifestyle. When you charter a yacht in Ibiza for a week, the itinerary becomes much more relaxed.

A typical 7-day loop includes two days in Formentera (exploring the lighthouses at La Mola), a day at the quiet anchorage of Porroig, and a journey up the west coast to watch the sunset from the deck near San Antonio’s Cafe Mambo. The northern coast, specifically around Portinatx and Cala Xarraca, provides a stark, beautiful contrast to the bustling south, with red-rock cliffs and pine forests reaching the water's edge.

Marinas and Logistics

Ibiza features some of the most exclusive marinas in the Mediterranean. Marina Ibiza is the most sought-after, housing the highest concentration of Princess yachts and offering proximity to Lío and Pacha. Marina Botafoch is equally popular, known for its vibrant restaurant scene and boutique shops. For those staying on the west side of the island, Sant Antoni de Portmany offers a modern marina that serves as an excellent jumping-off point for exploring the "Sunset Coast."

What is Included in Your Princess Charter?

Understanding the "all-in" cost is vital for a seamless experience. In Ibiza, charter contracts are generally standardized but vary between day and weekly rentals.

  • Day Charters: Usually include the skipper/captain, towels, complimentary soft drinks, snorkeling gear, and basic insurance. Fuel is almost always charged extra based on consumption, and VAT (21%) is often added to the base rate.
  • Weekly Charters: These are governed by MYBA terms. The base price includes the yacht and crew. All other expenses—fuel, food, beverages, berthing fees outside the home port, and specialized water toys—are covered by the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance), which is typically 30-35% of the charter fee.
  • End Cleaning: For day trips, this is included. For weekly stays, a one-time laundry and cleaning fee may apply.

The 2026 Season: When to Book

The Ibiza charter season begins in late April and runs through October. However, the dynamics change significantly across these months:

July and August: Peak season. Temperatures average 30°C, and the water is a perfect 26°C. Availability for Princess models is extremely tight; booking at least 6-8 months in advance for 2026 is recommended.

June and September: The "sweet spot" for many. The weather is warm, the beach clubs are in full swing, but the anchorages are slightly less congested. September, in particular, offers the warmest sea temperatures of the year.

May and October: Ideal for those focusing on cruising and tranquility. While some beach clubs may be closed, the natural beauty of the island is at its peak, and charter rates are often 20-30% lower than in August.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guests can a Princess yacht carry in Ibiza?

For day charters, Spanish maritime law limits most yachts to 12 guests plus crew, regardless of the boat's size. For overnight charters, the capacity depends on the number of cabins, typically ranging from 4 to 10 guests.

Is fuel included in the price?

Rarely. In Ibiza, fuel is calculated based on the engine hours used during the trip. A standard trip to Formentera from Ibiza Town on a 60ft Princess typically costs between €400 and €800 in fuel, depending on cruising speed.

Can I self-drive a Princess yacht in Ibiza?

Most Princess yachts over 45 feet are offered exclusively with a professional skipper or crew. This ensures the safety of the vessel and allows guests to relax while a local expert navigates the rocky coastlines and handles the complex berthing maneuvers in busy marinas.

What water toys are provided?

Standard equipment includes snorkeling masks and paddleboards (SUP). Larger Princess models often carry Seabobs, electric foils, and high-speed tenders for water skiing, though these may incur an additional rental fee if not already part of the yacht's inventory.
