Flavours of Ibiza – What to Taste Onboard
Ibiza’s cuisine is rooted in Mediterranean tradition with rustic, island-grown flair. Sample bullit de peix (local fish stew), sobrasada with honey, and greixonera, a cinnamon-scented bread pudding. Sip Hierbas Ibicencas, a sweet local liqueur made from island herbs, as the sun dips behind Es Vedrà.
Art, Culture & History – The Island Beyond the Beach
Step ashore and explore Dalt Vila, Ibiza’s UNESCO-listed old town with winding cobbled streets, hilltop views, and Moorish architecture. Visit the Puig des Molins necropolis, browse galleries in Santa Eulalia, or join a full-moon drum circle at Benirràs Beach—where ancient energy meets modern ritual.
Iconic Swim Spot – Cala Comte
Anchor at Cala Comte, where shallow turquoise waters, soft white sand, and panoramic views of offshore islets make it one of the most Instagram-worthy swim spots in the Balearics. Come early or stay late to enjoy it at its calmest.
High Tide Recommends
- Start your morning anchored at Cala Salada, swimming in calm, glassy water before the beach fills up.
- Watch the sunset from your yacht in front of Es Vedrà—a moment best paired with a chilled rosé.
- Take a scenic sail around Tagomago Island—an exclusive and rarely visited private isle off the northeast coast.
- Book a wellness morning onboard: yoga on deck, a juice detox, and a swim to shore before the beach clubs wake up.
Choose Your Itinerary
Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is well-connected with direct flights across Europe and is just 15 minutes from the main marinas.
Most Ibiza yacht charters begin in Ibiza Town (Marina Botafoch or Marina Ibiza), but departures are also available from San Antonio, Santa Eulalia, or even Formentera. The area is ideal for 7-day charters, or shorter luxury weekend getaways for those combining land and sea.
Choose from bareboat, skippered, or fully crewed yachts, depending on your experience and preferences. High Tide Yacht Charters can advise on the best yacht, crew, and itinerary for your style of sailing.
Best For:
- Groups of friends or couples

Weather & Winds:
Expect warm, dry days between 28–34°C in peak summer. Light sea breezes are common, though sheltered anchorages abound on both coasts. May and October are mild and peaceful with great sailing conditions.
Navigation Tips:
Ibiza’s coastlines are easy to navigate, with short hops between anchorages and minimal open water exposure. Note that eco-buoy zones are enforced in marine-protected areas—especially near Formentera—to protect the posidonia seagrass.
Fuel & Provisions:
Marinas in Ibiza Town and Santa Eulalia offer full provisioning services. Local shops, markets, and premium yacht delivery services are widely available. Fuel docks are easily accessible across the island.
Respect the Environment:
Ibiza is a UNESCO biosphere reserve. Respect anchoring zones, avoid plastic waste, and choose reef-safe sunscreen when swimming in protected waters.
