Half-Day Private Sail: Explore Ibiza’s Southern Coves and Es Vedrá
Set sail from Cala Jondal for a short, private cruise through southern Ibiza’s clearest coves. Swim, snorkel and photograph Es Vedrá on a relaxed half-day aboard a Bavaria 42.
The Experience
Before You Go
Book the best light
Choose a morning or late-afternoon departure for calmer waters and better photos of Es Vedrá and the cliffs.
Protect seagrass
Use reef-safe sunscreen and avoid anchoring in green patches—Posidonia beds are fragile and critical to marine life.
Bring a light jacket
Even in summer a sea breeze can be chilly once the sun dips; a windbreaker keeps you comfortable on deck.
Practice safe boarding
Wear shoes with grip when stepping from dock or ladder and follow crew instructions during swim stops.
