Private Boat tours around Ibiza
Book on Viator →Operated by Fantastic Charter · Bookable on Viator
Two coves, one easy boat afternoon. This private Ibiza charter is built around snorkel time and big-water views, with a restroom on board and drinks included for a low-stress few hours. The main trade-off: the schedule is tightly focused on two coves, so the first stop can feel a bit long if you’re hoping for more cruising around the island.
You meet in Sant Antoni de Portmany, then you’re off for about 3 hours total, with English provided and a mobile ticket. If you like flexibility and hanging out at sea with a captain who keeps things fun, this format is a strong match.

Key highlights (what makes this charter work)

- Cala Bassa + Cala Comte: two very different looks, one trip
- Snorkeling equipment included so you can jump in fast
- Restroom on board for a smoother outing
- Drinks aboard (bottled water + soda/pop) with a snack-style vibe
- Private group only (up to 11), so the mood stays yours
- Good weather matters: plan for a smooth day on the water
Price and logistics: what you’re actually paying for

This is listed as $662.26 per group, with space for up to 11 people. That pricing matters because you’re not splitting costs across lots of strangers. You’re buying a private boat experience with your own time on the route, which is often what makes the day feel relaxed instead of rushed.
You should also plan for two extras that aren’t included: a skipper’s fee (45€) and fuel (45€). Even with those add-ons, the value can still make sense if you’re traveling as a small group (especially couples, small friend groups, or families who want to stay together). If you’re coming solo, the per-person cost will be higher, so you’ll want to compare it against shared tours.
The duration is about 3 hours, with two main stops, each around 1 hour 30 minutes. That’s enough time to swim, snorkel, and enjoy a couple of swims without turning the outing into a full-day commitment.

Where you meet in Sant Antoni de Portmany (and what to expect)

The meeting point is Pg. de la Mar, 20, 07800 Sant Antoni de Portmany, Illes Balears, Spain. The good news: the experience ends back at the same meeting point, so you’re not dealing with a complicated drop-off plan.
The location is noted as being near public transportation, and you’ll use a mobile ticket. You’re also told you’ll get confirmation at booking time, and service animals are allowed. If you like knowing the basics ahead of time—where to go, what starts where—that’s built into this setup.
Because this is a private tour/activity, only your group participates. That usually means you can actually settle in, chat with the captain, and set your own pace during the swimming breaks.
The two-stop route: Cala Bassa

Your first stop is Cala Bassa for about 1 hour 30 minutes. This is your snorkeling-and-relaxing phase of the trip: the plan is to swim, snorkel, and enjoy a drink break.
Cala Bassa is a smart opener because it gives you a clear activity focus right away. If you’ve never snorkeled in open water, this kind of schedule is helpful: you get the gear, you get the quiet time in the water, and you don’t feel like you’re wasting your limited hours.
One thing to consider: at least one experience feedback pointed out that the first stop can run long. If your dream is to see more of the island from the water, keep that in mind and go in expecting two main coves rather than lots of short photo stops.
The big payoff: Cala Comte and its turquoise water
The second stop is Cala Comte, again for about 1 hour 30 minutes. This is the part of the day most people plan around for the visual reward—this cove is described as having the most turquoise waters of Ibiza.
If your priority is photo-worthy water and easy swimming, this is where the outing pays off. The flow of the trip also helps: you snorkel and settle at Cala Bassa, then you move to the visually stunning cove for a second, longer swim moment.
In practice, you’ll want to pace yourself. You don’t need to snorkel nonstop. Give yourself room to soak in the color, float, and reset for a relaxed end to the trip.
What’s included on board (and what to bring in your head)
Here’s what’s included in the experience package:
- Private transportation
- Restroom on board
- Snorkeling equipment
- Bottled water
- Soda/pop
That combination is more useful than it sounds. A restroom on board can turn a boat day from a “quick trip” into a real hangout. Snorkeling equipment included means you don’t have to chase gear right before you sail. And having water + soda/pop helps you keep the day simple, especially since lunch isn’t included.
What’s not included:
- Lunch
- Skipper’s fee (45€)
- Fuel (45€)
So if you tend to get hungry mid-afternoon, think about how you’ll handle it. Since the ride is only about 3 hours, many people simply plan a meal before or after. If you’re picky about food, you may want to eat close to your departure and keep expectations realistic about no lunch on board.

The small details that make the day feel fun
This is not just a “sit and look” charter. The overall tone, based on experience notes, tends to be friendly and flexible. A few highlights worth banking on:
- A captain who shares area recommendations and keeps the vibe light
- A clean, spacious boat that makes the downtime comfortable
- Time built in for music on the boat, with support for connecting your audio during the swim break
- In some cases, a paddle board available for the swimming break
You shouldn’t assume those last items will always be the same for every booking, since they weren’t listed under the standard inclusions. But they do show the kind of experience this charter aims for: you’re not stuck with just one way to spend your time.
How to enjoy the timing: 3 hours, two coves
At about 3 hours total, the pacing is simple: two coves, two swim moments, and a drink break. Each stop runs roughly 1 hour 30 minutes, so you won’t feel like you’re sprinting from one spot to the next.
Still, boat time can feel longer when you’re in the water. If you snorkel early at Cala Bassa, you may want to take it slower at Cala Comte so you don’t end up exhausted near the end.
If you’re the type who likes to maximize views, ask your captain about the rhythm. One piece of feedback suggested the first stop could use a tweak. A good captain will typically respond to your group’s priorities as long as safety and schedule stay intact.
Who this private boat tour is best for

This charter makes the most sense if you want:
- A private group up to 11, not a crowded shared boat
- A short, well-defined outing (about 3 hours)
- Snorkeling included with no gear hassle
- A comfortable setup with a restroom on board
- A captain-led vibe where you can hang out, play music, and enjoy swimming breaks
It can also work for families and mixed-age groups because the tour is short and the boat includes basic comfort. If you’re traveling with people who want a clear plan without overpacking the day, this is a good fit.
If you’re the type who wants lots of island stops and constant sightseeing, you may find the two-cove focus limiting. The schedule is meant for quality swim time, not a long tour of the coast.
Weather and cancellation: what to plan for
This experience requires good weather. If poor weather forces cancellation, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. If you’re planning around a tight schedule, it’s smart to keep some flexibility in your Ibiza days because boat tours can shift quickly based on sea conditions.
For changes you make yourself, cancellation is free up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. After that window, refunds aren’t offered.
Final call: should you book this private Ibiza boat tour?
I think this is a strong book if your ideal Ibiza day looks like two great coves, snorkeling time, and an easy private setup. The value holds up especially when you have enough people to spread the group price, and the included basics—snorkeling equipment, restroom on board, and drinks—remove common boat-day headaches.
Choose a different option only if you’re chasing a lot of stop-and-go cruising or lots of shoreline variety. This charter is focused on Cala Bassa and Cala Comte, and that focus is exactly why it works for people who want to swim and relax instead of bouncing around the coast.
