Day-by-day outline
Day 1 — Ibiza base and familiarisation
Complete the yacht handover and provisioning before making a short first passage. Keep the evening close to the base so any equipment question can be resolved early.
Day 2 — Southern Ibiza
Move toward the beaches and anchorages of southern Ibiza. Ses Salines is a natural reference point, but the actual stop should be selected for shelter and legal anchoring rather than reputation alone.
Day 3 — Espalmador and northern Formentera
Cross toward Espalmador and Formentera in settled conditions. The water is the attraction, but anchoring restrictions are important. Use marked moorings or other permitted arrangements and avoid anchoring on protected seagrass.
Day 4 — La Savina and Formentera ashore
Use La Savina as the practical marina stop for provisions, restaurants and exploring Formentera ashore. Reserve ahead in busy periods and confirm the operator’s rules for marina bookings.
Day 5 — Cala Saona or the east coast
Choose between the west-coast setting of Cala Saona and an east-coast option according to the forecast. Do not force a named anchorage when swell or wind makes another part of the island more comfortable.
Day 6 — Return to Ibiza via the west or south
Return to Ibiza with enough time to enjoy a final anchorage and still remain within an easy final leg of the base. The west coast can be attractive in settled weather; the south provides a shorter fallback.
Day 7 — Base return
Allow time for fuel, inspection and the operator’s check-out procedure. Avoid planning a long final passage.
Before booking
Confirm marina reservations, tender limitations, skipper requirements and how the operator handles protected Posidonia areas. Formentera is most enjoyable when the itinerary stays flexible rather than treating every famous anchorage as compulsory.
