FAQ

1. If I want to enquire about hiring a boat what information do you need?

As much as possible,number of people in your group. Budget available, date, event and preferred boat type, if any.

2. I have looked at your website though am undecided which boat to choose. HELP!

The first thing to consider is your budget. Be realistic. The second thing is the boats capacity.

3. I have found a boat i like but it’s not big enough to accommodate the group, i have looked at your larger boats but they seem to big!

The solution to this is taking two smaller boats out in tandem. Our popular options are the Maxum and the Rinker Sports Boat for up to 14guests or 2x Rinker Sports boats for 18guests.

When boats go out in tandem, they are together at all times (except when moving from place to place) so the group is never separated. This is a great combination, as we often find with larger groups, people prefer to do different things. This package allows one boat to be used for wake-boarding/water-ski/inflatable donut and the other for relaxing. The group are free to swap between boats as they wish.

4. The boat we want doesn’t hold enough people. Is there any way to extend capacity?

Yes. You can hire a boat such as the Rinker Sports Boat to tandem your chosen vessel, allowing for an extra 9 guests.

5. Can you accommodate families/groups with children?

Yes. Children find the experience exhilarating and great fun (see testimonials). Furthermore all our vessels come fully equipped with children’s life jackets. For young children we do recommend that they are supervised one to one by an adult.

6. Can we hire the boat without a driver?

Yes. Some small speed-boats are available to suitably qualified skippers.

7. Can transport be arranged to and from my beach bar/restaurant event?

Each individual boat page explains what is included in the price, if your in doubt, please do not hesitate to ask.

9. At what time does our trip start?

Start times for full days are on request, though usually between 10am and 1pm. Unless stated otherwise. Some boats offer various start times. ie the Maxum, Rinker Sports boat and the Catamarans. See the individual boat pages.

10. Can we pay extra and start early/finish late?

Yes we are flexible whenever possible. Please contact us to discuss your individual requirements.

11. We want the boat to pick us up from a different location. Is that possible?

Yes, however it is sometimes not time or cost effective to relocate a boat from its mooring.Circumstances are different for each vessel so do ask.

For those who charter Water-sport/speed-boats and want a shot of adrenalin in your boat trip around Ibiza, our instructor can teach wake-boarding and water-skiing or just for fun and laughs the inflatable donut?!

Take advantage of our snorkel equipment and enjoy exploring the hidden depths of the glorious Mediterranean sea and its colourful swathes of marine life.
Wind down, relax and sunbathe, lazily watching the sun sparkle on the crystalline sea around you while enjoying a refreshing drink, or swim to a deserted virgin beach or cove.

Be taken to hidden caves and islands that few have visited or to the mystic landmarks of Ibiza, Es Vedra and Atlantis (see: Island info).
For lunch why not stop at one of the many beautiful beach-bars or restaurants (many have tender service) or maybe onboard catering (large boats only).
On a full day charter, Boats Ibiza can take you to the stunning Islands of Formentera and Es Palmador, a tiny idyllic paradise island to the North of Formentera, which has natural mud baths with therapeutic properties.

Then for a perfect end to a perfect day, enjoy a few beers, a bottle of wine or champagne anchored amongst the rich and famous, outside Mambo’s and Café Del Mar , (or if you prefer a more private setting, may we suggest a secluded cove) watching the legendary Ibiiza sunset.

Yes. All our boats have Ipod and CD players.

16. Can we bring our own drinks on board?

On many of our boats it is possible, though please always ask in advance just to be sure.

17. Can we bring our own food onto the boat?

We find that rather than have the inconvenience of preparing and transporting their own food, many people prefer to enjoy a leisurely lunch off-board in one of the many excellent beach-bars and restaurants along the way that cater for a wide range of tastes and budgets. With this in mind along with varying available on-board storage space we would strongly advise our guests to avoid bringing their own food.

Yes. We can provide a full package to cater for everything from nibbles to veritable banquets at very competitive rates. Please contact us for details of the menus.

As far in advance as possible to avoid disappointment, especially in high season when demand is particularly high and many confirmed reservations are already in place. We remind guests that until a deposit is received into our accounts, the booking is not confirmed and can be lost. We usually require the deposit to be paid no later than one week after the booking is made.
