Classic route Ibiza-Formentera

If you want to spend a day on a boat with a cheaper fuel consumption we suggest a boat route between Ibiza and Formentera that you will love. We call it “star route” because it is the most followed, a classic. It consumes less fuel than the others because it uses less time of navigation and therefore of use of the engine, approximately between 1h and 1h 30 minutes, depending on whether you go directly to the beach of Illetas and return to port or if you make a stop before the island of Espalmador.

Less sailing time leaves more free time to enjoy the anchorages, the sea and your favorite chiringuito. The best route between Ibiza and Formentera by boat.

This route starts from the port of Ibiza, goes around Dalt Vila, passes through Figueretas and Playa d’en Bossa until it reaches Es Cavallet, from there the skipper makes a straight line towards the island of Espalmador with the first anchoring and later Illetas Beach with the second anchoring, to later make just the way back, with another anchoring more in Salinas, if you feel like it and there is still time or in Cap de Falcó to see the sunset from there.

This small route visits the most beautiful spots of Formentera, with crystal clear water and turquoise. The captain of your ship can give you information at the minute and in real time to have the consumption always under control. Remember that the rental of the boat is 8 hours at your disposal, and the consumption of the boat, indicated in liters or euros per hours of motor use, refers to the time in which the engines are being used and consuming fuel. During the time in which the boat is anchored the engine is not being used and therefore is not consuming, except for small maneuvers.
