Your chariot awaits

Experienced Ibiza skipper Rombout Bonnema has been sailing the high seas ever since he was knee high, a pleasure that went on to become his business, with Ibiza boat charter company Yachts Ibiza.

Whether a chilled out, indulgent day of eating and drinking on the water, a sunset cruise, a party cruise, or an all-day adventure exploring the hidden coves and secluded bays of Ibiza and Formentera (where Captain Rom always scores the best beachfront restaurant tables), Rom is an expert at matching people with the ideal boat to suit their needs, and creating the ideal charter experience. After just one chat, you’ll be ready to set sail…

Your over-water chariots await: two stunning Apreamare 11 motorboats with a capacity for up to 11 guests, complete with captain and drinks for the day. A chic grey exterior accessorised with pink trim, teak decking, mahogany sides and gleaming stainless steel finishes, the spacious boats offer plenty of room to laze around on the glamorous sun cushions on deck, potter around the kitchen or, should the urge strike, take a siesta in the 2-metre bed below deck!

If you prefer a more traditional sailing experience, the gorgeous 15-metre Camper & Nicholson classic sailboat The Spirit of Yeoman is your vessel of choice. Captained by owner of 20 years Nicholas Schreer (who’s also a fabulous chef!), the beautifully restored all-white boat was originally built in the ‘50s as a racer, and now cruises through its retirement on day charters in the Mediterranean.

For those with a taste for the flair of modernity, opt for the Bavaria 44, a 13-metre, glossy new fiberglass sailboat for up to 10 guests, manned by captain and hostess duo of Jasper and Silke. Whatever your dream day charter entails, Yachts Ibiza make it a reality.

Anchors away!
