Tips for choosing a boat charter company

25 May 2022

If you come on holiday to Ibiza, you have to rent a boat. The experience won't be the same if you don't, we assure you! In today's article we'll give you some suggestions when it comes to choosing a boat rental company in Ibiza.

We don't want you to end up with a disappointment due to lack of information. Because at RentaBoat Ibiza we want you to make the most of your stay and leave with unforgettable memories of our island.

Let's go with our tips to choose the ideal company for a boat charter in Ibiza!

1. Plan your booking well in advance

With the current circumstances, this season 2022 is expected to break all the records of affluence in Ibiza (and Formentera). That's why the first piece of advice we give you when you decide to rent a boat in Ibiza is to do it in advance.

It's a big disappointment to find out that the boat you've fallen in love with is not available for the dates of your holiday. So don't take a gamble and start planning your booking now!

2. Calculate your budget before choosing your charter boat.

To avoid unpleasant surprises, at RentaBoat Ibiza we advise you to set a maximum budget before renting a boat in Ibiza. This is an important step, as many rental companies do not include items such as VAT, mooring, etc.

This is not the case with ours: all our rates include VAT, mooring fees, a selection of drinks, final cleaning and full insurance with a prestigious company (Mapfre).

Set a course for fun! Renting a boat in Ibiza is a guaranteed success, as long as you do it with a company with proven experience and track record such as RentaBoat Ibiza.

3. Choose the type of boat you want to sail with

A motorboat? A RIB? A yacht? Each type of boat has its own characteristics and is ideal for specific situations. For example, if you are looking to visit many coves and disembark in them, a yacht may not be the best choice.

If this is your first time renting a boat in Ibiza, contact us and our sales team will give you personalised advice on what type of boat is ideal for you.

4. Verify the physical address of the boat rental company.

Unfortunately, the popularisation of charters in Ibiza has led to the creation of companies of dubious legality. If you can't find an office or physical premises with an address in Ibiza, it's very likely that you've stumbled across a pirate company.

This is not the case with RentaBoat Ibiza: our boat rental company is backed by Motonáutica Ibiza, which has more than 30 years of experience in the sector. We will be happy to assist you in our offices in Ibiza or San Antonio!

Crystal clear waters, pleasant temperature, good company... Do you like this plan? Make it come true with RentaBoat Ibiza.

5. Check that the rental contract complies with the law.

For your own safety, you should avoid any type of boat rental company in Ibiza that is not transparent with the legal aspects of your charter contract. Are all licenses in order? Have the boats passed the mandatory inspections?

In this regard, RentaBoat Ibiza (through its parent company Motonáutica Ibiza) belongs to the Ibiza Charter Association, which is responsible for ensuring that strict standards are met for a quality sailing experience.

And once you've rented your boat...

All you have to do is enjoy! Ibiza and Formentera are two Mediterranean paradises that are much more enjoyable if you visit them sailing. Explore the most hidden and magical coves of the archipelago and discover the incredible marine flora and fauna of the Pitiusas.

There are many possibilities open to you once you decide to rent a boat in Ibiza. But if you are not sure where to start, we leave you a link to our last article in the blog: What to do during your holidays in Ibiza.

We hope to see you soon!
