The Formentera Cruise

# The Formentera Cruise A half-day boat journey from Ibiza across clear water to Formentera's quieter shores. The Formentera Cruise departs mid-morning, anchoring at Espalmador sandbank where you swim in shallow turquoise sea, then continues to the white sand beaches of Formentera's north coast. The route takes you past hidden coves and stops at a beach bar for lunch before returning to Ibiza by late afternoon. What makes The Formentera Cruise different from standard Ibiza boat trips is the pacing—unhurried stops rather than rushed island-hopping, time to actually swim and eat rather than just photograph. The boat holds a mixed crowd of tourists and locals familiar with the route. Bring sun protection, water shoes for the sandy shallows, and cash for the beach bar. Available May through October, The Formentera Cruise runs most days depending on sea conditions. Book the night before to secure a spot; morning departures fill quickly during July and August.
