Ibiza: Formentera Cruise with Meals, Open Bar, Sunset & DJ

Ibiza: Formentera Cruise with Meals, Open Bar, Sunset & DJ offers a lively way to explore two of the Balearic Islands’ most beautiful spots. For just $77 per person, you can choose between a 4.5-hour water-focused cruise or a full-day adventure of approximately 11 hours. The trip includes stops at iconic beaches like Ses Illetes and Es Palmador, with plenty of time to relax, explore, or enjoy water sports. An all-inclusive experience, with meals, open bar, and a sunset party, makes this a well-rounded option for those looking to combine sightseeing with fun and good food.

What we love most about this tour is the opportunity to indulge in water activities — paddleboarding, snorkeling, and jumping right from the boat — and the chance to sample traditional Ibizan cuisine like paella and tortilla. Plus, the sunset DJ party creates a perfect end to a day filled with stunning scenery and vibrant music. On the flip side, a potential consideration is that the full-day experience requires a significant time commitment, so it’s best suited for travelers who truly want a full immersion rather than just a quick taste. The activity suits those who enjoy social, active days on the water, and appreciate good food and lively atmospheres, as reflected in numerous glowing reviews.

A Practical Look at the Tour Experience

Our journey begins at the Playa D’En Bossa pier, right in front of Hapipiness Beach, where we check in around 9:15 am — plenty early to settle in and get ready for the adventure. The boat, a spacious 25-meter catamaran, promises ample room to spread out, socialize, or relax. With a capacity that seems to balance comfort with lively energy, you’ll find the mood starts upbeat as the crew prepares for an exciting day.

What’s Included and How It Feels

The all-inclusive package provides a lot of value. The breakfast kicks off with tropical fruits, pastries, juices, tea, and coffee, offering a refreshing start before hitting the water. Once underway, you’ll enjoy an open bar with beer, sangria, soft drinks, and water, which stays open during the trip — a real plus for those looking to relax without constantly reaching for their wallet.

For lunch, a traditional Ibizan paella — either mixed or vegetarian — is served, along with Spanish tortillas and light snacks for dinner. Several reviews praised the freshness of the food, with one saying, “Paella was very tasty,” and another appreciated the generous drinks and fruit desserts. The crew manages the water sports gear like paddleboards, snorkeling masks, and pool noodles, making it easy to jump in and out of the water as you wish.

Water Activities and Beach Stops

The highlight for many is the chance to swim, snorkel, and paddle in the crystal-clear waters. The boat anchors in front of Ses Illetes, ranked among the top ten beaches worldwide, or Es Palmador. These stops are true highlights, offering stunning sandy beaches and natural beauty. The crew manages the water sports gear efficiently, and passengers seem to enjoy the freedom to explore underwater or just relax on the deck.

One of our favorite details from reviews is the generous amount of time in Formentera — 6 hours on the full-day ticket. That’s plenty of opportunity to rent a scooter or just walk along the beaches, which many travelers say is the best way to see the island. As one reviewer mentioned, “There is no better way to discover Ibiza than on this cruise with a phenomenal crew,” highlighting the sense of freedom and discovery.

Sunset & Party Vibes

The full-day experience culminates with an unforgettable sunset cruise. As the sun dips behind the horizon, the DJ kicks off a lively party with the Martin Audio sound system, setting a festive mood. The music, paired with drinks from the open bar, makes for an ideal ending on the water. Several reviews mention how “the atmosphere was incredible,” with one describing it as “the perfect way to end a day of exploring.”

Crew, Comfort, and Atmosphere

Guests consistently praise the crew’s friendliness and professionalism. Manuel and other hosts receive particular mentions for their warm hospitality and helpfulness. The boat’s Balinese-style sun beds and spacious layout make it easier to relax. The music system and DJ create a party vibe that appeals to those wanting a lively, social experience.

What we find especially reassuring is the safety management — water sports gear is managed carefully, and the captain can modify routes or cancel activities if weather conditions aren’t suitable. The mandatory ID deposit for snorkeling gear is a small price to pay for peace of mind.

Who Will Love This Tour?

This tour is a hit with those who love a mix of relaxation and activity, especially if you enjoy water sports and scenic beaches. The delicious food and vibrant music make it ideal for travelers seeking a fun, social atmosphere. If you’re looking for a full day of exploration, with plenty of time to wander on your own in Formentera, the full-day ticket is perfect.

However, if you prefer a shorter, more relaxed experience focused on cruising and water activities without disembarkation, the 4.5-hour water tour fits better. And if you’re not a fan of choppy waters or large crowds, consider whether the boat’s lively ambiance suits your style.

Final Thoughts on Value and Experience

For $77, this cruise offers a comprehensive experience that balances gastronomy, water activities, scenic stops, and party vibes. The quality of food, especially the paella, garners praise, as does the friendly crew that keeps everything running smoothly. The 6 hours in Formentera give plenty of freedom to explore or simply relax on the beach, making it a good value for a full-day adventure.

What sets this tour apart is its ability to blend different experiences — from snorkeling and paddleboarding to dancing at sunset — all on one boat. It’s a good choice for travelers who want a fun, lively day with a mix of scenic beauty, cultural flavor, and social energy.

The tour might not be suited for those seeking quiet or a more subdued experience, or travelers with motion sickness. But if you’re up for a memorable day on the water with excellent food, engaging water sports, and a dance party to top it off, this trip hits the spot.
