Barco Rent Formentera is a young company founded on the island that rents boats and organizes catamaran tours from the port of La Savina. Their goal is to showcase Formentera’s turquoise waters while respecting the fragility of its marine environment. They offer rentals with or without a skipper, so they cater to both first-time boaters and those with a boating license.
They’re open every day from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and thanks to Formentera’s mild climate, you can sail even in the coldest months.

What to See in Formentera from the Sea

Tips for Renting a Boat in Formentera
- The posidonia seagrass beds are protected: do not anchor on them and use the anchor buoys in regulated areas.
- If you’re renting without a license, listen carefully to the briefing: they’ll explain how to operate the boat and the areas where you’re allowed to sail.
- Set out early in July and August to find a spot in the most popular coves.
- Bring water, sunscreen, and a hat: the sun is intense out at sea.
Recommended Routes from La Savina
- Short route (half-day): From La Savina to Ses Illetes and Llevant, skirting the Es Trucadors peninsula. Turquoise water, white sand, and shallow waters ideal for swimming.
- Route to S’Espalmador: Crossing the Es Pas strait takes you to this private islet, which is freely accessible by sea, featuring S’Alga Beach and crystal-clear waters.
- Western Route: toward Cala Saona and the cliffs of Punta Rasa—perfect for watching the sunset if you’re sailing with a skipper.
- Catamaran Tour: With a skipper, this is a comfortable way to spend the day sailing without worrying about steering or anchoring.
Basic Sailing Rules in Formentera
- Respect the distance from marked beaches: do not sail in swimming areas.
- Reduce speed near the coast and other anchored boats.
- The Posidonia seagrass beds in the Ses Salines Natural Park are protected: in the summer, there are anchor buoys in the most popular areas.
- Return the boat at the agreed-upon time: La Savina gets very busy in the late afternoon.
