Cruceros Formentera - Excursiones en catamarán desde La Savina

Cruceros Formentera is a family-owned company offering boat tours of Formentera and Ibiza, founded in 1982 in the port of La Savina. It operates the catamarans Formentera Star and Ibiza Star and still maintains the llaüt Brisa, the boat that started it all. It organizes excursions between the two islands, trips to s’Espalmador, and private charters for companies, weddings, and celebrations.

Respect for the Natural Park

Sailing around Formentera means sailing within the Ses Salines Natural Park, one of the best-preserved marine areas in the Mediterranean. Cruceros Formentera states that it does not anchor over Posidonia and that it turns off the music in natural parks. Posidonia oceanica is the plant responsible for making Formentera’s water so clear, and it is protected: anchoring over it is prohibited.

Why Take a Catamaran Tour

Advantage	Why It Matters
Stability	The two hulls reduce rolling; ideal if you get seasick
Space	Plenty of deck space for sunbathing and moving around
Shallow draft	Allows you to anchor close to the shore at sandy beaches
Large groups	Perfect for families, companies, and celebrations

s’Espalmador, the jewel between Ibiza and Formentera

s’Espalmador is a privately owned and protected islet north of Formentera, home to the famous s’Alga beach: pristine white sand and shallow turquoise waters. It’s accessible only by sea, which is why it’s one of the most popular excursions from La Savina. Boats anchor at designated buoys to avoid damaging the seabed.

Over 40 Years in La Savina

The fact that a company has remained in the same port since 1982 speaks volumes: Cruceros Formentera began with a llaüt—the traditional Balearic vessel—and grew to operate two catamarans while remaining a family-run business. Preserving the llaüt Brisa is also a way to keep the island’s seafaring tradition alive.

Tips for Your Excursion in Formentera

• Book in advance in July and August.
• Bring ocean-friendly sunscreen, a hat, and water: there’s hardly any shade in Formentera.
• Snorkeling: bring a mask—the waters are exceptionally clear.
• Respect the swimming areas and buoys in the natural park.
• For an event, ask about capacity and catering well in advance.
