Ibiza: Formentera Cruise at Ibiza Boat Club

Travelers often seek that perfect combination of relaxation, adventure, and authentic local flavor when visiting Ibiza. This Formentera cruise offers just that—an elegant, all-inclusive day or sunset trip aboard Ibiza’s exclusive floating beach club, designed to provide comfort, scenic views, and a taste of Mediterranean paradise.

What we love about this experience are the luxurious VIP sunbeds, the delicious live Paella show, and the ample free time on Formentera to explore at your own pace. The friendly crew and excellent value for money, with all food, drinks, and activities included, make it a standout.

One potential consideration is that the tour is adults-only, which might not appeal to families traveling with children.

You also get fresh fruits and regional specialties, plus a relaxed, all-inclusive environment.

Not included are hotel pickup, scooter or bike rentals in Formentera, or guided tours on the island. This allows you to personalize your day but means you’ll need to plan transportation independently.

The Experience: Pros and Cons

What makes this cruise stand out is the combination of comfort and authenticity. Travelers consistently praise the knowledgeable staff and delicious food—from the live paella cooking to the local wine tasting. The limited capacity of 80 guests ensures space and a more intimate atmosphere, which many reviews highlight as a major plus.

However, the adults-only policy might be a drawback if you’re traveling with kids. Plus, the lack of loud music in Formentera means this isn’t a party scene—more of a relaxed, sophisticated vibe.

Another point to consider is that the sunbeds are reserved for full-day and sunset clients. If you opt for the half-day morning trip, you might find fewer lounging options on deck, but you’ll still enjoy the stunning scenery and fresh air.
