Why the SD118 is the Perfect Match for Ibiza
Ibiza’s coastline is a mix of rugged cliffs and shallow, sandy basins. The Sanlorenzo SD118 is uniquely suited for this environment. Despite its impressive length, the draft of under two metres allows the captain to anchor closer to the shore in popular spots like Cala Jondal or Es Vedrà compared to other yachts of a similar volume. This ensures guests have front-row seats to the island’s famous sunsets and easier access for the tender to shuttle guests to beach clubs like Blue Marlin or Casa Jondal.
The semi-displacement hull is also an advantage for the typical sea states found between Ibiza and Formentera. While the "Freu" (the passage between the islands) can occasionally experience choppy conditions, the SD118’s stability and advanced stabilization systems (both at anchor and underway) ensure a smooth experience for guests who may be sensitive to motion. Furthermore, the expansive flybridge and bow lounge areas are designed for the Mediterranean climate, offering ample shade and sunbathing zones for groups of up to 12.

Curated Itineraries: From Marina Ibiza to the Horizon
Most luxury charters begin at Marina Ibiza or Marina Botafoc, the island's most prestigious ports located within walking distance of Ibiza Town’s historic Dalt Vila. From here, the SD118 serves as your private floating villa.
1-Day Charter: The Formentera Escape
Departing at 10:00 AM, cruise south toward the island of Formentera. The SD118’s speed allows you to reach the pristine sands of Ses Illetes in under 45 minutes. Spend the morning paddleboarding or using the yacht's SeaBobs in the crystal-clear water. Lunch can be served on the yacht's aft deck or at the world-renowned Juan y Andrea. Finish the afternoon by cruising around the mystical rock of Es Vedrà before returning to port as the sun dips below the horizon.
3-7 Day Charter: The Full Balearic Experience
- Day 1-2: Explore the southern coast of Ibiza, anchoring in Cala Jondal and the secluded Porroig bay.
- Day 3: Cross to Formentera to explore the rugged eastern cliffs and the hidden caves of Cala Saona.
- Day 4-5: Head north to the peaceful Tagomago Island, a private paradise perfect for jet-skiing and snorkelling, then continue to the bohemian shores of Benirràs.
- Day 6-7: Cruise to the west coast to witness the sunset from the deck near Cala Tarida, ending the journey with a final morning dip in the turquoise waters of Cala Comte.

Logistics: Marinas and Berthing in Ibiza
Securing a berth for a 35-metre yacht in Ibiza during the peak of summer requires advance planning. Marina Ibiza is the preferred choice for the SD118 due to its ability to accommodate deep-draft vessels and its proximity to high-end boutiques and the Lío cabaret. Marina Botafoc is another excellent option, offering a more relaxed atmosphere while still being in the heart of the action.
When **chartering a Sanlorenzo SD118 in Ibiza**, it is important to note that mooring fees in these premium marinas are typically not included in the base charter rate. During the high season (July and August), it is common for yachts to spend several nights "at anchor" in protected bays like Talamanca or Ses Salines, using the tender for shore transfers, which offers more privacy and spectacular views.
What is Included in Your Sanlorenzo Charter?
Understanding the cost structure is essential for a seamless experience. When you rent a Sanlorenzo SD118 in Ibiza, the base price usually covers the vessel and its highly trained crew (typically a captain, chef, stewardesses, and deckhands). However, luxury charters operate on a "plus expenses" basis.
- Included: The yacht, the crew, and standard equipment (water toys, snorkelling gear).
- VAT: In Spain, a 21% VAT is applicable on the charter fee.
- APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance): Usually 30-35% of the charter fee. This covers fuel, food, beverages, and marina fees. Any unused portion is refunded at the end of the trip.

Best Months and Sea Conditions
The charter season in Ibiza runs from May to October. For those seeking the warmest water and the most vibrant social scene, July and August are unbeatable, though the anchorages are busier. June and September offer the "sweet spot" of Mediterranean yachting—warm temperatures, reliable winds, and more tranquility in the popular calas.
The SD118 is equipped with Zero Speed stabilizers, which are crucial for comfort in Ibiza. Even when the sea is calm, the "wash" from passing ferries can create movement at anchor; the stabilizers counteract this, ensuring your morning coffee or evening champagne remains perfectly still.
