Yacht Charter La Savina — Formentera's Live Fleet

Yacht Charter La Savina

Yacht charter La Savina starts at Formentera's only port, the arrival point for the ferry from Ibiza and the charter base for the whole island. This page is the independent guide to chartering directly from Formentera — what makes this island different, where boats depart from, which boat type suits the area, and what to expect on timing and cost. The live search below queries the booking systems of operators working out of La Savina directly, so every listing reflects current availability rather than a static brochure.

Formentera has no airport of its own, so every visitor arrives by ferry through La Savina, and the port sits between two salt lagoons, Estany Pudent and Estany des Peix, giving the town a distinctive setting unlike any other charter base in the Balearics.

Why charter from La Savina

Formentera is the smallest and least developed of the main Balearic Islands, flat, low-lying and largely undeveloped compared with Ibiza just across the water, and its water is often described as some of the clearest in the Mediterranean — a direct result of the extensive posidonia seagrass meadows protected within the Ses Salines natural park that Formentera shares with southern Ibiza.

Ses Illetes, the sandbar beach just north of La Savina, is routinely ranked among the best beaches in Europe, with shallow, turquoise water either side of a narrow strip of sand, and is the single most popular destination for charters out of La Savina, an easy short run from the port. South of the island, Platja de Migjorn offers a long, quieter alternative, while Cap de Barbaria at the island's southern tip adds a dramatic, wilder contrast with its lighthouse and rugged coastline.

Because Formentera has no airport, every charter guest arrives having already crossed from Ibiza, which means La Savina works well both as a dedicated day-trip destination from an Ibiza-based stay and as the starting point for guests staying on Formentera itself.

Where charters start in La Savina

La Savina's marina is the only charter base on Formentera, positioned right at the ferry terminal and handling day boats, RIBs, catamarans and sailing yachts. Its position between the two lagoons and close to Ses Illetes makes it a short, direct run to the island's best-known beach.

Because Formentera has no airport, guests typically fly into Ibiza and take the ferry across, a crossing of around thirty minutes; some operators can also arrange a direct boat transfer from Ibiza as part of a charter. As with every base on this site, the live search below reflects each operator's actual current booking system rather than a fixed departure point assumed on this page.

Which boat type fits

Formentera's shallow, sheltered water around Ses Illetes and the lagoons suits catamarans and licence-free day boats particularly well, both well suited to a relaxed day of swimming stops without needing a skipper.

Sailing yachts remain available too, and a boat with enough range to combine Formentera with a run back toward Ibiza is a popular choice for guests wanting to see both islands in a single charter. As with every base on this site, the live search queries current operator listings directly rather than a fixed fleet description, and our operator directory is the place to compare the businesses running charters from La Savina.

When to charter from La Savina

The season runs the same May-to-October window as the rest of the Balearics, with June through September the most settled. Ses Illetes is one of the most visited beaches in the Balearics, and anchorage space there fills quickly by mid-morning in peak season, so an early departure from La Savina matters more here than at most other bases.

July and August bring the heaviest demand, and booking ahead is essential given how popular Formentera has become. May, June, September and early October offer calmer conditions and dramatically easier access to Ses Illetes and the island's other beaches.

La Savina yacht charter prices

Cost from La Savina follows the same core variables as elsewhere in the Balearics: boat type and size, half day versus full day versus bareboat or skippered charter, and season, with July and August carrying the highest rates. As with every base on this site, a fixed price cannot usefully be stated here — the live search below shows current rates for each specific listing.

Most charters require a refundable security deposit in addition to the charter fee, and fuel is commonly charged separately. Our guides to deposit and insurance and to yacht charter fuel costs are worth reading before confirming a booking so the full cost is clear from the outset.

Planning guidance

Bareboat charter requires a recognised qualification under Spanish rules — see the licence guide. Deposits and fuel follow standard Balearic practice: deposit and insurance · fuel costs. Ses Salines natural park has anchoring restrictions to protect posidonia seagrass; confirm permitted anchorages with the operator before booking a day trip built around it.
