It is important to note that there is no guide on board for the visits, nor is there a cook (meals are taken in groups, a very common practice on sailboats of this type).
- We try to plan an ambitious itinerary because we like to make the most of the areas where we are sailing. We will sail a few extra miles so as not to miss anything. We guarantee to visit the most interesting places in the area.
The route is subject to change due to weather conditions and problems with mooring reservations. The safety of the yacht and passengers always comes first.

Each pair of passengers will stay in their own cabin with private or shared bathroom, depending on the boat.

Skipper
Joan
With more than 25,000 miles under my keel, I have always been involved in sailing yachts and catamarans with passengers.
After all this time I can say that every mile sailed helped me to grow both personally and professionally.
I will try to make sure that you have a great time and a nice experience near the sea 😉.
I like to discover new places, new beaches, new adventures, new islands... do you want to discover them with me?
* Skipper may change.

Tour
Day 1: SANT ANTONI - CALA COMTA
Saturday afternoon and with everything ready on board we set sail. We headed for the essential Comta cove. Its clear waters with the mystical island of Es Vedra in the background make for a setting that is hard to forget. One of the most beautiful coves in Ibiza and where a stop is a must.
There is the possibility to dine ashore in one of the many restaurants. First night on board in a five-star venue. What a thrill!
Day 2: CALA COMTA - CALA PORROIG
We take advantage of the morning to continue enjoying the place. The turquoise blue waters between the island of Ibiza and the islets d'en Bosc and Sa Conillera are fantastic for a little exploration including swimming.
We start to make our way around the island of Ibiza towards the south. We stop at the beautiful cala d'Hort for a swim. Later we jump into the next cove of Porroing, where the anchorage is much better. We spend the night here.
From here it is possible to go ashore for a drink at the well-known Blue Marlin club, which is only 5 minutes by taxi from Cala Porroig.
Day 3: PORROIG COVE - SES ILLETES - ESPALMADOR
In Porroig cove it is steep and there are several caves to explore. We can explore them by paddle surf or inflatable, as well as snorkelling. A very entertaining morning.
We weigh anchor and head towards the island of Formentera. We arrive at one of the best beaches in the Mediterranean, Ses Illetes beach, where we can enjoy the Caribbean waters. It's amazing.
We spend the night on the neighbouring island of Espalmador. Here the anchorage is much quieter and we will sleep better than in Ses Illetes, where the movement of boats is continuous.
Day 4: ESPALMADOR - SES ILLETES - CALA SAONA
We enjoy the island of Espalmador. Its waters and virgin beach are a divinity for any mortal.
We then continue round the island of Formentera to the south. Today we anchor in Cala Saona, one of its most beautiful and representative coves. From here it is possible to rent a moped or any other vehicle to explore the interior of the island. You have the whole afternoon to get lost in all its nooks and crannies. An adventure that you will love.
Day 5: SAONA COVE - FORMENTERA COVES - SES SALINES
Today we travel around the island of Formentera and we will stop at some of its small and paradisiacal coves on its south and north coast. These include Caló d'es Mort and es Caló.
We will spend the night in one of the bays in the south of Ibiza, where we will find some beach bars to have a drink. Spectacular sunset with a drink in our hands 🙂
Day 6: SES SALINES - NORTH IBIZA - PORT OF SANT MIQUEL
We have two days to explore the north of Ibiza. In this part of the island we find some of its most authentic places, where there are fewer tourists. A rugged coastline where many of the bays and coves are still unspoilt.
The area of Cala Xarraca is a fantastic place to eat and explore the surrounding area.
To sleep we look for a more sheltered place, the area of Puerto de San Miquel is ideal. In this large bay there is a wide variety of activities to do. We spend the night here.
Day 7: PUERTO DE SANT MIQUEL - NORTH WEST COVES - SANT ANTONI
We set sail from the bay of Puerto de Sant Miquel. We must continue to gain miles to the south to reach the port of Sant Antoni at sunset.
On the way we have time to stop at a couple more coves in the northwest of the island. We relax and enjoy the last swims of the trip.
We arrived at sunset at the port of Sant Antoni. It has been a great trip that we will remember for a long time. We will celebrate with a great dinner in the port of Sant Antoni.
You disembark on Saturday at 9am. This is the end of your adventure on board.
The proposed itinerary is subject to weather conditions in the area and at the time. The skipper of the boat may change the route for the safety of the passengers and the boat.
We will also be able to modify the mooring points fixed in the ship's itinerary due to problems with port bookings.
Activities
Sailing
We guarantee you that there will be times around the island of Ibiza when you have the wind and you can raise the sails.
During the trip there are numerous sailing and steering manoeuvres. You can participate whenever you feel like it and learn the basics of sailing. The skipper will be happy to show you what you need to know.
Snorkel
There are several areas where it is recommended to dive in Ibiza and Formentera.
During the trip we will look for the best places to snorkel from the boat. One of the main advantages of renting your own sailboat is that you can snorkel all day long.
Trekking
The paths that connect beaches and coves are common on these islands, the so-called "caminos de ronda". These paths often rise up out of the terrain and offer beautiful views of the coastline.
The island of Formentera is ideal for a sunset excursion.
Swimming
The early morning swim is the most pleasurable of the day, as well as a luxury available to few. All you have to do is put on your swimming costume and jump off your sailboat.
Cultural Visits
During the cruise you can visit the village of Sabina, on the island of Formentera.
This little village of white houses is a very appealing place to visit in summer. With its restaurants and souvenir shops it is the perfect place to complete a real holiday.
Caves
Sailing along the coast you will discover caves, grottoes and holes that nobody can see from land.
Some of the routes have millenary caves formed by the erosion of the years. It will be very easy to visit them from the sailing boat or catamaran.
Leisure
The islands of Ibiza and Formentera are known for the large number of quality beach bars on their beaches.
If you like to go ashore and have a few drinks on the beach with good music playing in the background, boat rentals in the Ibiza area are definitely the most suitable for you.
Highlights
Espalmador Island
This unspoilt island is located between Ibiza and Formentera, in the Ses Salines de Ibiza and Formentera natural park. Only 2 km2.
A private island with public access, where peace and tranquillity reign as there are no beach bars or any type of building on the coast. Its beaches are five stars.
Ses Illetes
Located in the Ses Salines de Ibiza and Formentera natural park, at the northern end of the island of Formentera.
This is Formentera's most famous beach and one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean. Its sand and water have nothing to envy to the beaches of the Caribbean.
Port Sant Miquel
Beautiful bay in the north of the island with enough shelter to spend the night.
A bay with a multitude of places and things to do that you can explore by paddle surf, dinghy or snorkelling.
Sunsets in Ibiza
Many of the coves where we make landfall during the voyage face west, offering unforgettable sunsets.
On some beaches you can watch the sunset to the rhythm of the timbales. One of the few places that still conserves the hippie essence of the 1970s in Ibiza.
Interior Formentera
The island of Formentera is a paradise by sea, but no less so on land.
Its geography with short distances makes it ideal for scooters. Reaching its beaches and lighthouses in this way is a beautiful experience.
Southwest Ibiza Coves
The beaches from Sant Antoni to the southern tip of the island are impressive.
There are up to ten beautiful coves that you should not miss. It will be very difficult for you to choose one of them.
Formentera Coves
The beaches of Formentera are the best you can currently find in the Mediterranean. And they are widely known as paradise.
Among the most beautiful are Ses Illetes, Cala Saona and Es Calo d'es Morts, but there are many more. Don't miss them from your boat.
Ibiza Town
Ibiza is easily recognisable by its 16th century walled fortification, which encloses the old quarter called "Dalt Vila". Its narrow cobbled streets will take you to the top, with great views.
Ibiza is also a fascinating town that offers a wide range of leisure possibilities, especially at night.
Es Vedra
At almost 400 metres high, the island of Es Vedrà is a great place to contemplate from land.
Surrounded by myths and legends, the image of Es Vedrà is not easily forgotten.
La Savina Village
La Sabina is the port of Formentera and the point of entry and exit from the island.
But it is more than that. A pleasant place to stroll at sunset and look for a restaurant facing the sea where you can comment on the intense day on the boat.

We are a family of 7 people, we have done a sailing trip through Croatia for seven days this summer of 2024
The trip has been a fantastic experience, combining sailing and discovering wonderful beaches and bays during the day with visits to the cities in the afternoons and nights (Vis, Hvar, Korcula, Stari Grad, Split and Trogir). All of this advised by our wonderful boss, Pave.
Without a doubt, I would like to thank Joan Nogueron, from the Melee Travels Agency, for the organisation, advice and advice that made this trip a success.
Thank you for everything, we will surely repeat in another destination

The trip itself has been good, for the places we have been able to enjoy and without a doubt for the company, but we would not repeat with this company, we had chosen precisely this one based on the comments and in our case they have not adjusted to reality.
- Poor food, it had the feeling of being in a camp, with a daily pasta menu with very basic preparations, the breakfasts were also very scarce. Luckily in port we were buying bread and pasta ourselves so we could have a proper breakfast. We already know that the cook who usually makes the voyage failed and the new one was not used to those tasks on a ship, but I believe that we passengers should not pay for these inconveniences. The same thing refers to the disorder and lack of cleanliness in the kitchen. Thank Lucia and Lourdes, two crew members who took charge of the kitchen and solved much of the problem.
- All week without air conditioning due to a breakdown. We are in the month of July and it was really overwhelming to sleep in the port with so much heat at night.
Finally, this is a trip of high economic value and we consider that we should have received better attention from MeleTravels, by exposing the problems we have encountered, everything has been missed without assuming any fault.
