These are our favourites. SES ILLETES Formentera · 30 min The star trip. By RIB you cross the channel in half an hour and anchor in the most turquoise water in the Balearics. CALA JONDAL South Ibiza · 15 min You slip between the anchored yachts and step onto the beach in no time. Perfect for lunch on the south coast. ES VEDRÀ West Coast · 20 min Ibiza’s most famous islet, seen from the water. At sunset the light is spectacular and the RIB lets you get close to the coast. CALA XARRACA North · 35 min A small cove in the north, surrounded by pine trees. With its shallow draft the RIB goes right to the back of the cove. TAGOMAGO East · 20 min A private island with outstanding snorkelling. By RIB you follow the coastline and stop in its small rocky coves.

No surprises. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ## Everything you need to know ## Do I need a licence to hire a RIB in Ibiza? + It depends on the length and engine power; most RIBs require a boating licence. If you don’t have one, we add a professional skipper: you enjoy the day and they handle the navigation and the best anchorages. ## What is the difference between a RIB and a motorboat? + A RIB is lighter, more stable and more agile: it gets into small coves and is usually cheaper for small groups. A motorboat offers more space, shade and comfort on board for larger groups. If you are not sure, we help you choose based on your group and route. ## Can I go to Formentera by RIB? + Yes, it is the most popular route. In calm seas the crossing from Ibiza takes about 30 minutes, and at Ses Illetes and Espalmador you can anchor on sand. If it is windy, the skipper suggests an alternative along the Ibiza coast. ## What does RIB hire include? + The boat, compulsory insurance and safety equipment. Fuel, skipper and extras are agreed separately and itemised before you confirm. ## How many people fit on a RIB? + It depends on the model. Each RIB page shows its maximum capacity; we recommend not going to the limit so everyone is comfortable. For larger groups we suggest a motorboat or a catamaran. ## How far in advance should I book? + In July and August, 3 to 4 weeks ahead. In June and September 1 to 2 weeks is usually enough. Message us and we confirm availability the same day. ## Your day in Ibiza starts here ## Sitemap - [Sitemap (Markdown)](https://seatime.yachts/sitemap.md): every page of the site, grouped by island and type of boat - [llms.txt](https://seatime.yachts/llms.txt): summary of SeaTime for AI assistants - [HTML version of this page](https://seatime.yachts/en/rent-a-boat/ibiza/rib/)
