How to Make the Most of its Beaches with Babel Boats
Formentera, a gem of the Mediterranean, offers a unique charm that is magnified from the sea’s perspective. Renting a boat for a day opens up a world of possibilities to enjoy this island exceptionally. This article guides you on how to make the most of a day in Formentera, exploring its beaches from one of our boats.
Beginning of the Adventure: Boarding in the Morning
The adventure begins as you board your boat in Ibiza. There are multiple ports in Ibiza, one of the most beautiful and welcoming being Santa Eulalia, from where you could depart with us. Sailing towards Formentera is a unique experience. From the boat, you can see the incredible nature of the island of Ibiza and, perhaps, you can see dolphins if you travel in the low season.
The journey between Ibiza and Formentera can vary in time, but if you leave from Santa Eulalia, it should not take more than 1 hour.
First Stop: Ses Illetes Beach
Once in Formentera, anchor near Ses Illetes Beach, famous for its crystal-clear waters and white sand. It's the ideal time to dive from the boat and enjoy snorkeling. With Babel Boats, you will have all the necessary equipment for snorkeling. There is no need to bring anything.
To reach the shore, we also offer paddle surf boards. This allows you to get to a beach only accessible by boat. This beach is connected to Formentera by a walkway that can only be crossed when the tide is low.
Water Activities: Paddle Surfing and More
In addition to snorkeling, take advantage of the available paddle surf boards. This activity is not only fun, but also allows you to discover the coast in an active and exciting way. Exploring the blue waters of Formentera standing on a board offers a unique perspective of the island.
Exploration and Relaxation in Hidden Coves
After lunch, it’s time to continue exploring. Sail towards secret coves like Cala Saona, a corner of tranquility accessible mainly by sea. Here, the calm waters and stunning views offer the perfect setting to relax and enjoy the peace that only Formentera can offer.
Very close to Cala Saona, we can find the caves of Cala Saona. These are caves that can only be accessed by boat. It is a hidden place that only a few captains know how to reach. Don’t miss the opportunity to see a unique place.
Practical Tips for Your Day on the Boat
Early booking of the boat is essential, especially during the high season.
Make the most of the snorkel and paddle surf equipment included in your rental.
Bring sunscreen, hats, and enough water to stay hydrated.
Respect navigation regulations and the marine environment for a safe and sustainable experience.
A day in Formentera aboard a boat is an unforgettable experience. It offers you the freedom to discover the island in your own way, with the exclusivity of your own space and a variety of water activities.
One of the main advantages is that during the island's peak occupancy period, there can be coves that are difficult to park in and relax to sunbathe and take a walk.
By boat, you will have the opportunity to do it in a much more exclusive way.
