GOA Catamaran Yacht Charter — 10 Boats in the Balearics

GOA Catamaran: 10 boats listed in the Balearics

GOA Catamarán has built its reputation around a single, well-executed idea: put people on a catamaran, in Ibiza and Formentera waters, with a patrón who knows the coastline properly, and let the boat do the rest. Rather than acting as a broker reselling other people's boats, the company describes itself as owner of its fleet "without intermediaries" - a distinction that matters in a charter market crowded with agencies fronting for third-party yachts. That ownership model shows in the fleet itself: ten catamarans and one monocasco, several of them delivered in 2025 and 2026, giving GOA one of the larger and more current Lagoon-badged fleets operating out of the Balearics. For a guide built to separate genuine specialists from generalists dabbling in catamarans, that is a meaningful signal.

What sets GOA apart from a great many day-charter outfits is the range across its fleet, from a compact 36ft monohull through to crewed flagships at 52ft and 55ft. Every boat in the current line-up carries a skipper as standard, which places the operator firmly in the crewed-charter camp rather than the sin patrón-and-self-navigate model favoured by some competitors. Awards recognition from TripAdvisor across multiple consecutive years, and a stated environmental policy covering fuel use and energy management aboard, point to an operator that has been doing this long enough, and consistently enough, to have built a track record rather than a start-up's promises. For charter guests weighing up who to book with in Ibiza and Formentera, GOA sits in the category of specialist rather than generalist: this is a business built around catamarans, not one that happens to list a few among a wider fleet.

GOA Catamaran operates a mixed fleet of catamarans and monohulls with 10 boats (36–55ft) in its live Balearic listings. The listings below come directly from the operator's live MMK booking data — the same system the availability search on this page queries, so fleet and availability cannot drift apart. The operator's own site is at goacatamaran.com.

GOA Catamaran’s base & getting there

GOA Catamaran operates exclusively in Ibiza and Formentera waters - this is an Ibiza-based specialist rather than a pan-Balearic operator with outposts on Mallorca or Menorca. Two Ibiza locations recur across the fleet's berthing information: Santa Eulalia, on the island's east coast, and Sant Antoni de Portmany, on the west coast, with a number of the weekly-charter yachts also using a berth in Ibiza town itself for changeover days.

The larger crewed yachts - the Lagoon 52F "GOA 10" and the Lagoon 55 "Luz del Mar" - are based at Santa Eulalia, a relatively sheltered harbour on the eastern side of the island and a sensible starting point for excursions that run along Ibiza's calmer coast or across towards Formentera. Several of the week-charter catamarans, including the Lagoon 46 "Peikea," the Lagoon 46 "Blue Regeneration," the Lagoon 450F "Carmela" and the Bali 4.6 "Los Roques," follow a Saturday-to-Saturday turnaround pattern, embarking from Sant Antoni de Portmany and returning to a berth in Ibiza town for the Monday changeover point in the cycle. The Lagoon 43 "White Pearl" is based at fondear off Sant Antoni de Portmany rather than alongside a pontoon, which is worth knowing if guests are picturing a conventional marina walk-on.

For guests arriving by air, Ibiza Airport sits within easy reach of both Santa Eulalia and Sant Antoni de Portmany by road, and GOA's charters run day trips out to Formentera and the wild, roadless islet of Espalmador as standard excursions - waters reached only by boat, which is precisely the appeal the operator leans into. Exact berth details for the newest additions to the fleet, the owner-version Lagoon 43 "GOA 12" and the Dufour 365 "Mentholad," were not confirmed on the operator's own site at the time of writing, so guests booking those two should treat Ibiza as the general operating base and confirm the precise embarkation point directly with GOA ahead of departure.

La flota, barco por barco

The newest tranche of the fleet is where GOA's recent investment is most visible. The Lagoon 43 Owner Version "GOA 12," delivered for the 2026 season, brings the modern Lagoon 43 hull in its owner's layout - six berths configured around a single generous forward cabin rather than the more cabin-dense charter layouts - which tends to suit couples or two familias prepared to trade a bunk or two for extra living space. Alongside it, the Bali 4.6 "Los Roques," also new for 2026, and the Lagoon 43 "White Pearl," delivered in 2025, round out a trio of genuinely current tonnage; boats this new are still uncommon across the wider Balearic charter market, and their arrival within a season or two of each other suggests a fleet being actively refreshed rather than gradually run down.

A pair of Lagoon 46s sits in the middle of the fleet doing the bulk of the family and group work. "Peikea," from 2024, and "Blue Regeneration," from 2022, are both 46-footers built for eight-to-ten guests, and represent the sweet spot for groups who want a proper week-charter catamaran - enough cabins and heads to spread a party out, without stepping up to flagship size or pricing. These are the boats likely to suit multi-family bookings or groups of friends who want their own space during the day and to reconvene for dinner and sundowners.

At the top of the fleet are GOA's two crewed flagships, the Lagoon 52F "GOA 10" (2022) and the Lagoon 55 "Luz del Mar" (2025). Both are quoted at eight guests plus crew rather than the higher berth counts a boat of this size could technically sleep, which is the hallmark of a genuinely crewed operation prioritising guest comfort over cramming in extra cabins. At 52ft and 55ft respectively, these are among the largest catamarans available for charter in Ibiza and Formentera, and they are the natural choice for guests wanting a full-crew, higher-end week aboard rather than a self-catering approach to their charter.

The two Lagoon 450 Fly models, "Carmela" (2019) and "Oneno" (2019, Owner Version), are the fleet's workhorses - proven, well-used boats from a model line that has quietly become one of the most chartered catamaran designs in the Mediterranean. Carmela sleeps up to eight across a standard charter layout, while Oneno's Owner Version trims that back to six berths in exchange for a larger forward owner's cabin, much like GOA 12 at the newer end of the fleet. Boats of this vintage and type are a known quantity for anyone who has chartered a Lagoon before, and they represent dependable, mid-fleet options for guests who want a well-proven catamaran without needing the newest boat available.

Finally, GOA's sole monohull, the Dufour 365 Grand Large "Mentholad," stands apart from the rest of the fleet. Originally built in 2008 and refitted in 2022, this 36ft sailing yacht with seven berths is a smaller, more traditional sailing boat rather than a catamaran, and its presence signals that GOA - despite its name and its clear catamaran specialism - is prepared to offer something different for guests who specifically want the sailing character and lower guest count of a monohull, or a lighter, more presupuesto-conscious option than the catamaran fleet allows.

Who GOA Catamaran suits

GOA's spread suits a wide range of charter guests precisely because the fleet itself spans such a range of sizes and vintages. Groups planning a hen or stag week, multi-family holidays, or milestone celebrations are well served by the Lagoon 46 pair or the newest 2025/2026 boats, all comfortably configured for eight guests with room to spread out. Those wanting a higher-end, fully crewed week with more space per guest - rather than more berths per boat - should look to GOA 10 or Luz del Mar, both capped at eight guests plus crew despite their considerable length. Smaller groups, couples, or sailors who specifically want a monohull rather than a catamaran have a genuine option in Mentholad, which stands out precisely because it is the one boat in the fleet that isn't a catamaran.

Orientación sobre reservas

Because every yacht currently in the GOA fleet sails with a professional skipper as standard, this is a crewed rather than a bareboat operation, and charter guests do not need to hold a sailing qualification to book. That is worth flagging explicitly for anyone comparing operators across the Balearics: Spanish maritime law only requires guests to hold a recognised licence, such as the Spanish PER or an accepted international equivalent, when chartering bareboat - that is, without a skipper aboard - and GOA's model of skippered week and chárteres de día sidesteps that requirement entirely. The operator's own material also references the option of a private chef for onboard catering on request, useful for guests planning a more occasion-led charter such as a celebration or proposal, though this should be confirmed and costed directly with GOA at the time of enquiry rather than assumed as a standard inclusion.

As with any operator running a fleet this size across a single high-demand season, earlier enquiry tends to secure both the newer boats and the preferred embarkation base, particularly for the 2025- and 2026-delivered yachts and the two crewed flagships, which are likely to be the most sought-after bookings of the group. Guests should expect a charter agreement to specify deposit terms, final balance timing and the exact turnaround day for their chosen boat - the Saturday/Monday pattern that governs several of the week-charter catamarans is a useful pointer to how GOA structures its logistics, but guests should always confirm exact dates, deposit percentages and cancellation terms directly with the operator before booking.
