Enjoy Formentera with boat rentals in Ibiza
Formentera is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt islands in Europe, and in the world. The most popular location for charter clients is Illetes, the closest point from Formentera to Ibiza. While Illetes is certainly stunning and beautiful, the real Formentera experience is to charter a boat in Ibiza and visit some of the other beaches on the island, such as Cala Saona, Es Caló and Es Migjorn to name a few.
Charter a boat in Ibiza to visit Formentera, it will be a truly unforgettable experience, consider planning a two day trip around the island, stopping at the beaches in an out of the ordinary way, an experience most people have never heard of.
Why limit yourself to 2 days? If you have the time, there are not enough, easily the beaches and restaurants in Formentera will keep you busy for a week or 2 with a charter boat.

Located in the heart of the most famous beach of Formentera (certainly one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean), you will recognise from afar the restaurant “JUAN Y ANDREA”, the only one with palm trees on the beach. Incomparable view, excellent sea cuisine, fish seafood, rice dishes, etc…, on the terrace or directly on the sand under the shade of the awnings. Run with love and dedication by the same family for more than 25 years, this will be an unforgettable experience.
Juan and Andrea’s specialities have all the flavour of the sea. The restaurant’s tables are set on the sand, which is kept cool by the shade of the terrace, so the fish tastes no better.
If you feel like it, start with some clams a la marinera, grilled sardines, fresh prawns from Formentera or any of their salads. For the main course you can opt for a lobster or lobster with garlic, grilled lobster, lobster paella, fish paella, grilled fresh fish or sea bream, among other delicacies. If you prefer meat, you can have a beef sirloin or lamb chops. For dessert, there is, for example, a juicy strawberry tart. The wine list specialises in whites, cavas and champagne.
When you anchor your rented boat in Ibiza, the zodiac service will take you to the restaurant.

The restaurant is hidden in the sand dunes behind the beach, but from the deck of your charter boat, you can see a giant “B” on the roof of the beach bar. All the tables are outside, on the sand, but protected from the powerful rays of the sun by a very high roof made of old wood, covered with palm leaves.
You will be able to taste all kinds of exquisite local fish, delicious rice dishes… they specialise in Mediterranean and Basque cuisine.
But around 5pm is when Beso Beach really starts to get exciting. The tables give way to a dance floor and the DJ gets on his feet to get everyone on their feet. People start pouring in from their Ibiza charter boats and within a couple of hours the place is packed with beautiful people dancing. Mojito in hand, they watch the sun set over the beautiful Mediterranean Sea.
An afternoon at Beso Beach will probably be your favourite experience.
