Island Boats - Alquiler de barcos sin licencia en Sant Antoni

Island Boats Ibiza is a small boat rental company that departs from Sant Antoni de Portmany Bay on the west coast of Ibiza. Their motto says it all: “We’re affordable, but we’re also good.” Most of their boats don’t require a boating license, so anyone can take the helm and explore the coves at their own pace. For those looking for something bigger, they offer catamarans and motorboats with a captain. They’re available 7 days a week by phone and WhatsApp.

How It Works

• Bookings require a deposit to prevent fake reservations; the deposit is deducted from the total.
• The security deposit is fully refunded if the boat is returned undamaged.
• You can rent for multiple days, but the boats stay in port overnight for daily maintenance.
• Is your group large? You can rent multiple boats at once.

Coves near Sant Antoni

From Sant Antoni Bay, you’re close to Cala Bassa, Cala Conta, Cala Gració, Cala Salada, and the Margalides Islands. And in the evening, enjoy the Sant Antoni sunset—one of the most famous in the Mediterranean—from the sea.

What to Choose?

• Couples or families without a boating license: 15 CV catamaran, half-day or full-day charter.
• Watch the sunset: add the sunset tour for just 60 €.
• Large group or Formentera: Valhalla or Aventura 33 with a skipper.

Tips

• Set out in the morning if you want quiet coves; there are more boats in the afternoon.
• Anchor on sand, never on Posidonia seagrass, which is protected.
• Bring water, a hat, and sunscreen: there’s a bimini on the boat, but the sun is strong.
• Respect the marked swimming areas near the beaches.

Before You Set Out: What They’ll Explain

1. The boat: starting the engine, shifting gears, anchoring, and how to raise the anchor.
2. Safety: life jackets, fire extinguisher, flares, and who to call if something happens.
3. The area: how far you can go, which coves are best that day, and where not to anchor.
4. The return trip: return time and what to do if the weather changes.

Basic Rules at Sea

• Marked swimming areas (yellow buoys) are for swimmers only: do not enter them with the boat.
• Reduce speed near the coast and at the entrances to ports.
• Posidonia: Anchoring on it is prohibited in the Balearic Islands; look for patches of light-colored sand.
• Don’t throw anything into the sea, and take your trash back to port.
