Discover the Quieter Side of Ibiza Next Summer

You need to act fast! Select one of the best of the few yachts available with a Spanish charter license next summer now in order to avoid disappointment. With the Spanish legislation for yacht charters being so stringent, the cream of the crop gets booked very early in the season. Don’t let yourself be fooled; there’s much more to Ibiza than bubble soaked parties. Unspoiled inland villages, undeveloped coves, and wild, beautiful countryside still exist, perfect to relax and unwind. At the Torre de Savinar, you can find the most magical views of the Es Vedra, a dramatic rock formation coming out of the ocean.

Chartering with the Stars in Ibiza

The mid-summer parties in Ibiza are in full swing and it would seem that anyone who is anyone has upped sticks and set up camp in the Balearic Islands. Word has clearly got out that the best way to enjoy this slice of heaven off the coast of Spain is on a yacht.

He’s been seen off the coast of Formentera, trying out the latest and most exciting water toy, the flyboard while aboard ECSTASEA, the 86m feadship, designed and formerly owned by Russian oligarch, Roman Abramovich.
