boat hire in Ibiza · Bayliner — 3288 Flybridge (1996)

An Unforgettable Boat Trip – Simply Perfect! We had an amazing boat trip that exceeded all expectations. Manuel was incredibly welcoming and knew the best spots with stunning turquoise waters. His local knowledge made the experience truly special. On top of that, the service was outstanding – he even made the best paella! The overall experience was fantastic, and the value for money was excellent. If you’re looking for a perfect day on the water, this is it! ☺️ thanks for everything Manuel!

We had such a great time on this boat! Manuel is so professional, welcoming and fun captain also cooks the most delicious paella! Thank you for this amazing day out on the water!

Excellent day with Manuel, a very nice day

Simply put - you cannot hope for a better captain than Manuel and overall boat experience. Took us to great places, had a laugh with us, and was comfortably our best day in Ibiza. Would 100% recommend Manuel.

Even though the sea was a bit rough, we had a great day. Manuel is a great chef and a crack

What a wonderful day with Manuel and his boat. The skipper was a delight, very experienced and very knowledgeable about the island. The boat was great and the excursion to unknown coves and caves was amazing. We even had dolphin wine! We will definitely be back. Thank you for everything.

Manuel was very friendly, knowledgable and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. We felt safe and comfortable with him as our Skipper. The boat was perfect for our requirements. Fabulous!

Manuel is a genius! 100% recommended

Great welcome! No bad surprises We spent a great day with our children

Incredible experience! Manuel is a genius. We will definitely be back.

When we arrived we received a very warm welcome from Manuel. Communication was clear from booking and he was happy to answer all my questions. Snacks were served throughout the day aswell as ice and water and a big JBL speaker. We could choose how long we wanted to stay in a spot before moving, Manuel was lovely. We would definitely book again and would recommend

I cannot recommend Manual highly enough for an unforgettable boat trip experience! We booked a day trip to Formentera and had three stops there and it was fun for us and our kids. But what sets Manual apart is that he's not just a great skipper – he's also an amazing chef! We were treated to a fantastic paella on board. Five stars all the way – we can't wait to our next trip with Manual again!

Manu a 10 not a 15 and the paella is spectacular. I recommend it

Manuel was extremely professional. The paella was very tasteful. I definitely recommend.

Thank you to Manuel for his kindness and attention. Everything was incredible! A magnificent experience in Ibiza and a phenomenal paella ?

Manuel is great captain and you cannot find a better boat for this price. Highly reccomnded!

We did the north tour & had an amazing time!

We spent a wonderful day aboard Manuel's boat.. he met all our expectations and cooked us a delicious paella.. he was an attentive and kind host with a smile always on his face.. thanks Manuel we will be back to sail with you.

Mi Hermano Manuel el numero 1, very good paella EL LOCO MANU

Manuel is an excellent captain, he advised us from the first moment, he prepared a spectacular paella. I absolutely recommend it

Manuel is, in all words, a great host. Always attentive to every detail and a very pleasant person to talk to. We have enjoyed a unique family day with Manuel and it has been incredible

Manuel is a really good host! Always friendly, polite and understanding. I have rarely met such a good guide on my many boat trips. Apart from him, his freshly cooked paella was amazing. Always happy to go with Manuel.

I absolutely recommend this boat if you want to have a day out with friends. The paella cooked by Manuel was delicious, everything perfect. We will definitely be back.

Very nice captain/owner ! Great, large boat, perhaps a bit older and slower, still a great cruise and best value for money

It has been a pleasure sailing with Manuel. We were 12 people and he accommodated us wonderfully. He also made us a seafood paella on the boat (we were the envy of all of Ibiza). Without a doubt the next time in Ibiza I will have Manuel again.

It was a beautiful experience. We had an excellent day. Manuel took us to beautiful places and made us make the most of the day. I would rent Manuel's boat again every time I visit Ibiza.

Absolutely terrible experience. It took us more than 2.5 hours just to get to Formentera, despite repeatedly asking the skipper to speed up. He told us the boat couldn’t go faster, and we never exceeded 8 knots. The skipper was clearly unprofessional – we had to anchor and lift the anchor ourselves, and at some point, he even asked us to steer the boat. We seriously doubt he even has a valid license. This was by far the worst boat rental experience for all of us. We barely had time to enjoy swimming as we were constantly rushed. Would never book with them again.

Unfortunately, it fell short of our expectations. We didn't have the same experience I read in the comments when booking. The boat wasn't very comfortable, the rear sofas had a wooden board under the cushions, making it difficult to be comfortable in some areas, and we didn't get the famous Paella...

We chartered the boat for the full day on the 28th of june. The first issue arose just at the beginning. One of the two engines didn‘t start. This lead to discussions with the captain about our options for the day. Going to Formentera as planned wasn‘t possible with just one engine. After approx. one hour, the engine suddenly started and we were good to go. Not exactly trust-building . The second and bigger issue was our captian who wasn‘t fit to steer a boat. Leaving the marina he hit several other boats and slightly damaged our own in the process. Later on he managed the anker to get stuck and he broke off the ship‘s bow (!) while trying to get the anker free. While he was doing this at see we were waiting on Formentera for him to pick us up. Again over an hour lost from the day. Without the possibility to anker we were not comfortable to go swimming, especially as the captain was clearly not capable to maneuver the boat precisely and we would have been in the water with the engines running. Returning to the marina the boss of the company was waiting for us, as we had escalated the situation to him. He witnessed how our captian nearly hit another anchored boat while trying to land at the dock. The boss himself then boarded our ship from a boat of the harbormaster and landed it himself. Even though he witnessed the inability of his captain and the damage on his own boat, he refused to take proper ownership. We got less than 1/3 of our money back. Do not book with this company.

Very bad experience. The route suggested by the skipper is not recommended at all. After lunch, one of the boat's engines broke down, and it took us two hours to get back to port without being able to make any stops. Half of our reservation was useless. The only solution proposed was to excuse us from sailing for an hour (they charged us for three instead of four). Not at all recommended.

We had a fabulous day with Manuel onboard Chiquitin. He was very professional and knowledgeable, we felt in safe hands from the start. The boat is a good size, with plenty of space for sunbathing up front. Note that it is not a speed boat, so factor that in in your planning. She is quite old but very well maintained Manuel pulled out all the stops with plates of delicious snacks on arrival in formentera. Next time we’ll take him up on his offer of paella!
