You push off from the marina as morning light strips the harbor of its sleep; the catamaran heels slightly, sails filling, and the open Mediterranean reaches out like an invitation.

You push off from the marina as morning light strips the harbor of its sleep; the catamaran heels slightly, sails filling, and the open Mediterranean reaches out like an invitation.
This private full-day cruise threads the shallow turquoise of Ses Illetes, skirts the protected sands of Espalmador and eases along Formentera’s reddish rocky coasts. Geology here is simple and dramatic: uplifted limestone and old marine terraces give way to sugar-fine sandbars that reappear at low tide. Human history is compact—Phoenicians, Romans and later Balearic fishermen left a coastal culture focused on the sea; today, strict protections keep Formentera largely building-free and intentionally quiet.
Expect clear-water swimming, shore stops for SUP and snorkeling, and short off-boat excursions to secluded coves and caves only reachable by sea. The crew will demonstrate basic sailing and let confident guests take the helm; wind and light shape the day and the current nudges your route like a living map.
Practical guidance: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and a light windbreaker for afternoon chop. Pack lunch or arrange the on-board catered option; the captain will provide snorkel gear and two SUP boards. Mobility for short, sometimes slippery landings is required—wear closed water shoes for rocky stretches.
Timing matters—early departures mean calmer seas and clearer snorkeling; late returns reward you with a Mediterranean sunset over Es Vedrà. This trip balances relaxed exploration with a touch of seamanship: it’s an immersive way to read the coast from the water and come away having moved with the elements instead of past them.
Yes—snorkeling equipment and two SUP boards are provided as part of the trip; bring your own mask if you prefer a custom fit.
Non-swimmers can join but should remain cautious near the water; life jackets are provided and crew supervision is available for water activities.
You can choose between a catered lunch on board, bringing your own food, or stopping at a beach restaurant on Formentera—notify the operator when booking.
Full refund if canceled at least 24 hours before departure; the operator may cancel for unsafe weather conditions and will issue refunds accordingly.
