Sailing the Turquoise Coast of Formentera

Your sailing itinerary begins near the vibrant port of La Savina, the gateway to the island. From here, you can sail toward the breathtaking shores of Ses Illetes, often cited as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Drop anchor in the calm waters of Espalmador, a private island paradise perfect for a midday swim. As you navigate the rugged eastern coastline, you will discover the dramatic cliffs of Cap de Barbaria and the serene waters of Cala Saona. For those looking to explore further, a short crossing to the southern coast of Ibiza offers a glimpse of the mystical Es Vedrà rock before returning to the peaceful moorings of Formentera.

Pricing, Logistics, and Seamless Booking

The cost of a gulet charter in Formentera varies based on the size of the vessel, the season, and the level of luxury provided. Generally, prices for a private weekly charter range from €15,000 to over €50,000 during the peak months of July and August. These rates usually include the yacht hire and crew wages, while an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) covers fuel, food, and beverages.

Expert Tips for Your Balearic Sailing Holiday

The best time to enjoy a gulet charter in Formentera is between late May and early October when the Mediterranean climate is most favorable. July and August offer the warmest waters and a vibrant social scene, while June and September provide a more tranquil experience with cooler temperatures. To enhance your holiday, many guests choose to combine their time at sea with a stay in one of our luxury villas in Sant Francesc or Es Migjorn. We recommend booking at least six months in advance to secure the most prestigious vessels, as the demand for high-end nautical experiences in the Balearics is exceptionally high during the summer season.

FAQ

What is included in a gulet charter in Formentera?

Typically, the charter fee includes the use of the yacht, the professional crew, and standard onboard equipment. Expenses such as fuel, port fees, and food and beverage are usually managed via an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA), which is approximately 30% of the base charter price. This ensures a personalized experience tailored to your specific culinary preferences and itinerary.

Do I need a license to book a gulet?

No, you do not need a license. All our gulets are fully crewed, meaning a professional captain and crew are responsible for the navigation, safety, and service on board. This allows you and your guests to relax completely and enjoy the scenery of Formentera without any technical responsibilities or maritime requirements.

How many people can a gulet accommodate?

Most gulets are designed to accommodate between 6 and 12 guests in private cabins, though some larger vessels can host up to 20 or more. They are the ideal choice for large families or groups of friends who want to stay together on one vessel, providing much more social space and stability than a standard sailing yacht or catamaran.

Can we customize the sailing route around Formentera?

Absolutely. One of the primary benefits of a private charter is the flexibility it offers. While the captain will provide recommendations based on wind and weather conditions, you can choose which coves to visit, where to anchor for lunch, and how long to stay at each location. Popular stops include the blue lagoons of Ses Illetes and the quiet bay of Es Pujols.
