Welcome to Ibiza, the jewel of the Mediterranean! The island of Ibiza is famous for its nightlife, its dreamy beaches and crystal clear waters, what better way to enjoy all this than renting a boat?

To make sure your experience is a success, from the RentaBoat Ibiza blog we present you 10 tips to keep in mind before renting a boat in Ibiza.

1. Plan your trip in advance

To get the most out of your boat rental experience in Ibiza, plan your trip in advance. Decide how many days you want to rent the boat, where you want to go, what activities you want to do and how many people will accompany you.

There are many possibilities to spend your vacations on the island aboard a boat: think about what you do not want to miss and start organizing your trip from there!

2. Find the right boat

There are many types of boats available for charter in Ibiza, from speedboats or inflatable boats to luxury yachts. Make sure you choose the type of boat that suits your needs and budget.

You can take a look at the boats for rent offered by RentaBoat Ibiza to get an idea of the different types, their capacity, features, etc.

3. Compare prices

Not all boat rentals in Ibiza have the same prices. Look for different options and compare prices to make sure you are getting the best deal.

On the other hand, it is very important that you make sure that there are no hidden costs. Our boat rental company includes both VAT and full insurance, as well as the harbor dockage fee, but not all of them are like that!

Renting a boat in Ibiza will allow you to enjoy exceptional places that you would otherwise miss during your vacation..

4. Check the reputation of the boat rental

Before booking a boat rental in Ibiza, check the reputation of the company. Read online comments and reviews to check that the company has a good reputation.

As a sample, we leave you with the most recent review of our boat rental company:

"We really enjoyed a day on a boat. They took us all over Formentera to very nice places. The boat, excellent. Clean and new this year. We will definitely repeat." Lourdes Mercadal Muñoz (via Google).

5. Check cancellation policies

Make sure you understand the Ibiza boat rental cancellation policies. In case you change your plans or something unforeseen happens, you need to know how to cancel your reservation and if your money will be refunded.

6. Make sure you have all the necessary permits

Before renting a boat in Ibiza, make sure you have all the necessary permits if you are going to drive the boat yourself. Besides needing to have the relevant licenses for navigation, it is advisable that you have experience and you are well informed of the peculiarities of the coast of Ibiza.

The alternative is that, when renting a boat in Ibiza, you hire a professional skipper.

7. Hire a captain if necessary

As we advanced in the previous point, if you do not have the necessary license to drive a boat in Ibiza, you will have to hire a captain. Our boat rental company offers you this option in all our boats.

This way you can focus on enjoying your trip and you will have the security and experience that our team of professionals will provide you.

8. Prepare an additional budget

Make sure you have an additional budget to cover expenses such as fuel, food, drinks and additional activities. It is also important to note that some boat rentals in Ibiza may require a security deposit.

9. Wear enough sun protection

Ibiza has a warm and sunny climate all year round. Be sure to bring enough sunscreen, hats and light clothing to protect you from the sun's rays.
