Where to sail with a boat in Formentera?

The rental of boats in Formentera is common, and before leaving you will be informed of the best routes for that particular day, depending on the wind and the sea. In general, all navigations are made in the Ses Salines Natural Park (that is, the side of Formentera that looks towards Ibiza). Depending on the boat, it can be separated into two main options:

1- With the rental of a boat without license in Formentera:

For reasons of autonomy (the distance that the fuel tank allows you), security (area with mobile coverage) and location of the port, the route we recommend is:

From Puerto de la Savina it runs along the beaches of Ses Illetes to the Island of Espalmador. Then continue to Punta Pedrera, Natural Pools, Punta Gavina, Cala Saona and caves.

* On the Map the route is marked in red.

2- Boat rental with license in Formentera:

If you have a degree and therefore experience, the tour you can take around the island is only limited to your certification. However, it must be taken into account that the La Mola area, which consists of cliffs and strong currents, is of great technical difficulty. If you are looking for the best route in Formentera, follow the advice on our map to which you can add the Levante beaches.

What happens if there is bad weather?

If the conditions are not safe for navigation, our team will contact you beforehand and give you the option of canceling or rescheduling the date. If the cancellation is due to bad weather, the money is always returned.

However, you must bear in mind that bad weather does not mean that it is cloudy. Bad weather is understood as strong winds or large waves, things that can make navigation unsafe.

If there are waves or intermediate wind, our team will inform you of the conditions and it will be your decision to go out or not, since with a little prudence you can look for sheltered places and enjoy the day without problems.

Can anyone take a boat without a license in Formentera?

Any motor with a power of 15 hp or less, can be driven without licenses according to the legislation of the Balearic Islands. This is allowed because the boats do not develop much speed, they are very easy to drive and there is no accident rate that contradicts it.

For boats with more than 15 hp of power in their engines, the corresponding licenses are required. The certification must be up-to-date and be recognized by Spain.

What do I need to know to drive a boat without certification in Formentera?

These are the indications that we give our clients before boarding:

1- To start the boat with the key it is the same as in a car, but there is also a small extra key that you will put in your hand (it makes contact with the battery and in case of falling into the water turns off the engine).

2- The steering wheel is the same as the car, as simple as moving to the sides to turn.

3- The accelerator is a lever and it has three options (just like an automatic car): forward, neutral (N) and back.

4- There is a small red button on the accelerator that raises and lowers the engine (it is used when we approach the coast).

5- The bimini top is retractable, you can put it on and off as you like.

6- The boat has waterproof bags, you can take mobiles or valuables there (the company is not responsible for the personal things that go on the boat).

7- When leaving the port of Formentera, caution should be exercised with the Ferrys and boats that enter, for this reason you should go at a very low speed and always on the right.

8- Always the maneuvers in the boats must be clear, this helps other boats to know our course. If a ship is coming head-on, we must move to the opposite side, always being clear on the direction we are taking (because the other ships can knows how to react).

9- In many of the most popular beaches in Formentera there is a line of yellow buoys, they cannot be crossed. There is always an access channel to approach the beach, marked by a red and a green buoy.

10- You can drop the anchor anywhere to take a bath, but I must be very careful that it is not on algae (posidonia), if you do, you will be penalized with a fine.

Can I stop at any beach in Formentera?

If the area is not indicated with yellow buoys, it is possible to drop the anchor and swim  or go down to the beach. But you must take into account that:

1- The anchor chain should not be too short, the weight of the chain supports the boat.

2- You must be very careful to not anchor on Posidonia (you will notice because the clarity of the water allows you to see the green bottom).

3- If you leave the boat to go to the beach, it must be a day without wind or many waves (this can drag the boat away).

On the rental boats in Formentera: Is the fuel enough for the whole day?

All the rental boats in Formentera are delivered with more than enough fuel for the whole day. In some boats fuel is included and in others not (you will see it indicated).

When fuel is not included, when you return to the port you have to refuel at the gas station. In general lines, 15 hp boats spend around € 20 to € 30, 50 hp and 100 hp about € 40, and boats with higher power depend on speed and distance.

What difference are between motorboats and zodiac in Formentera?

There are two main categories of rental boats in Formentera:

1- RIB or zodiac boats: they are those that have a fiberglass bottom but the sides are made of inflatable rubber. They are comfortable to enter and exit the water, they are also very stable.

2- Rigid boats: they are completely fiberglass. Its characteristic is that they are taller, generally look more elegant and have more hydrodynamics.

Can I go around Formentera with the rental boats?

It is not a possibility to go around Formentera with most of the boats (except for 100 hp or higher with title and under the responsibility of each captain). The reason is the consumption and the experience that is required, since there are many areas of cliffs exposed to winds and currents, making it impossible to take refuge on the coast if you have a problem.

Can I go to Espalmador with boats without certification?

It is the obligatory tour in Formentera, to the island of Espalmador you can only go by boat. The island has a wide bay where you will see many boats and you can drop anchor to disembark (always respecting the yellow buoy area).
