Private Catamaran Excursion through Formentera

Imagine spending a day floating on the calm, crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean, surrounded by the stunning scenery of Ibiza and Formentera. That’s exactly what a private catamaran tour with SIN RUMBO SAILING promises — a luxurious, personalized experience in one of Europe’s most beautiful cruising grounds. While we haven’t personally joined this adventure, the glowing reviews and detailed itinerary paint a picture of a well-rounded, high-end day that appeals to travelers craving both comfort and authentic natural beauty.

What we particularly love about this trip is the spacious Lagoon 450 catamaran, redesigned for 2025, which offers plenty of room for relaxation, socializing, and enjoying the scenery. Second, the multi-stop itinerary allows guests to explore hidden coves, salt flats, and famous beaches—delivering a truly immersive experience beyond the typical day-trip.

An In-Depth Look at the Experience

The Catamaran: Spacious, Modern, and Comfortable

The centerpiece of this excursion is the Lagoon 450 catamaran, which stands out for its size and design. It’s been recently redesigned for 2025, making it the largest, most premium, and most comfortable boat you’ll find for such an outing on Ibiza. Its expansive decks and multiple lounging areas—both indoor and outdoor—offer a luxurious setting to relax or socialize.

The boat features a large living and dining area, a spacious solarium, and an upstairs flybridge with sunbeds and a front living area. These features mean you’re not just on a boat—you’re on a floating retreat, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out, sunbathe, or enjoy a good conversation.

The Itinerary: A Day of Contrasts and Natural Beauty

Starting from Cala Jondal, the tour kicks off with a 1.5-hour sail to the island of Formentera, a route that often includes opening the sails if conditions permit. This is a chance to feel the breeze and connect with the sea, an experience many reviews find particularly memorable.

Stop 1: Platja des Jondal
While technically the starting point, it’s also a scenic spot to begin your cruise. The real adventure begins as you head toward Formentera, with the option to enjoy the sensation of sailing on open waters—something many reviews describe as a highlight.

Stop 2: S’Espalmador
Access to this private island is exclusive to boaters, making it a true hidden gem. Here, you’ll explore salt flats, trek along natural paths, and swim in incredibly clear waters. Reviewers often mention the salt flats as a particularly special feature, likening it to a natural sculpture garden with stunning views.

Stop 3: Platja d’Illetes
Perhaps the most famous beach in Formentera, this stop is an ideal spot to anchor, unwind, and enjoy the water toys—paddleboards, kayaks, and snorkeling gear. The reviews rave about the peaceful yet lively atmosphere, with many noting the great sound system onboard adds to the fun. You might even feed the fish or take a dip in the pristine waters, which many describe as truly “crystal-clear.”

Stop 4: Return to Cala Jondal
The return journey takes about 1.5 hours, during which the crew often makes an effort to sail as much as possible, maximizing the experience of gliding through the sea. Some reviews mention that the crew’s effort to catch the wind adds an element of adventure, making the return just as picturesque as the outbound trip.

Activities and Equipment: Fun for All

Included in this tour are all the gear you need to enjoy the waters—snorkeling equipment, double kayaks, and paddle surfing gear. Many reviewers mention how these add to the fun, with some calling it “the best part of the trip.” For an extra fee, you can hire a Seascooter or a premium Efoil, which can turn your snorkeling experience into something quite extraordinary.

Music lovers will appreciate the large JBL PartyBox 310 speaker, which keeps the energy high whether you’re relaxing on deck or dancing in the sun. This little detail seems to make a big difference, according to reviews praising the good vibes onboard.

Crew and Service: Friendly and Attentive

Reviewers consistently praise the crew’s friendliness and helpfulness. Captains Mariano and Marcelo, in particular, are noted for their good energy and genuine attention to guests. One reviewer states, “they made our days magical,” highlighting how important the crew’s attitude is to the overall experience.

The private nature of the tour ensures undivided attention, making it ideal for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, or just a day dedicated to fun with friends or family.

Food and Drinks: Onboard Comforts and Options

While the tour price includes all fees, gas, and the use of water toys, it does not include snacks, lunch, alcohol, or bottled water. You might find bringing your own picnic or drinks is a good idea—some groups choose to organize a barbecue for an extra fee, which could turn the day into a full-blown seaside feast.

The Cost: Is it Worth It?

At around $2,133 for up to 11 people, this private tour is a premium experience. When you consider the exclusivity, the large, modern boat, the multiple stops, and the activities included, it offers solid value for those seeking a high-end, personalized day. For smaller groups or families celebrating something special, it’s an investment in a memorable, hassle-free day on the water.

Weather and Flexibility

The itinerary is somewhat flexible, with the crew willing to adapt based on weather conditions and guest preferences. The ability to sail with or without sails and to explore different coves adds an element of spontaneity that many guests appreciate. Be prepared for some variability, especially if wind conditions change, which can alter the planned stops or route slightly.
