Unforgettable experience in Catamaran Ibiza – LAGOON 400

Es Vedrà feels closer on a private catamaran. You sail out of Cala Jondal on a Lagoon 400, then spend hours swimming around Es Torrent, Sa Pedrera, and Cala d’Hort, with real time to enjoy Es Vedrà from the water. It runs about 8 hours, in English, and it is set up for one group only, up to 11 people.

I love how snorkeling gear and a SUP paddle board are included, so your day is not just sitting and staring. I also like the on-board WiFi and restroom, which makes it feel more like a proper boat day and less like a hurried shuttle. One thing to consider: meals are not included, and if you were picturing extra snacks and drinks, it is smart to confirm what your specific day provides.

Key highlights you will care about

• Private charter for up to 11 people: Only your group is on board, which keeps the vibe relaxed.
• Snorkeling plus SUP are included: You can rotate between lounging on the bow net and active water time.
• Es Torrent and Port d’es Torrent for early swims: White sand and calm, clear water get the day started.
• Sa Pedrera sea-only pools: You reach the quarry area by boat, then swim among natural stone formations.
• Es Vedrà as the big visual stop: You get a dedicated stretch to enjoy the iconic islet from the sea.
• Cala d’Hort for beach time and lunch choices: You can eat on board with catering or head to the beach bars.

A private Lagoon 400 day in Ibiza, minus the crowds

This is a private catamaran setup, with the boat listed as a Lagoon 400. That matters in Ibiza. The most popular coves can get busy fast, and being on your own boat day changes the rhythm. You are not weaving around other groups, and your captain can focus on your pace, your swim windows, and how long you hang out near each stop.

The format is also simple: you depart from Cala Jondal, then you build the day around water time. It is not just a sightseeing loop. You get multiple chances to jump in, use snorkeling gear, and even use a SUP paddle board during the Cala d’Hort beach stretch.

Also, the “fuel included, no surprises” approach is one of those small details that saves headaches. When you are paying a group price, you want fewer add-ons showing up later.

Meet at Tropicana Eivissa, then settle into the bow-net vibe

You start at Tropicana Eivissa Cala Jondal, at Cala Jundal s/n in Sant Josep de sa Talaia. The activity returns you to the same meeting point, so you are not scrambling for transportation at the end.

Timing runs in a morning window depending on the month. In May, starts can be between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM. In June and July, the start window is 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. If you hate waiting around, try to arrive ready for the water time as soon as you board.

Once you are under way, the itinerary is built for comfort. At the start, you lie on the bow net, with sun and sea breeze over you. That first stretch sets the tone, especially if you have spent prior days doing tight walking tours. Here, you trade steps for stillness.

Stop 1: Platja des Jondal to Es Torrent, where the day feels quiet

Your first sailing segment is about 30 minutes, then you arrive at Es Torrent, described with emerald green waters, reddish cliffs, and a tranquil feel. The plan gives you around 1 hour 30 minutes at this stage, with the sailing time built around getting you there smoothly.

What I like about this stop for your day is the pacing. You are not rushed into the first swim immediately. You get a settling period, then you can decide whether you want to be on the water right away or ease into it with a swim later during that longer window.

A practical note: this is a good moment to get your bearings, set up your snorkeling gear, and test how your group likes the boat flow. If everyone is happy floating and swimming calmly here, the rest of the day tends to feel better too.

Stop 2: Port d’es Torrent, your white-sand swim reset

After the Es Torrent time, you move to Port d’es Torrent for about 1 hour. This bay is described as having white sand and crystal clear waters, framed by unspoilt nature.

That one-hour block is the kind of time slot that works well for groups. It is long enough to get in, swim, and dry off, but it is not so long that the day drifts. You also have the option to float without hurry, which is exactly what catamaran days are good at.

If you are bringing snorkeling gear into the mix, this stop is a strong candidate for your first proper swim. Clear water early can make the rest of your water activities more fun, because your expectations are in a good place from the start.

Stop 3: Sa Pedrera, sea-only pools and that Atlantis feeling

Next comes Sa Pedrera, reached by sea only, which is half the point. The area is described as natural pools formed between ancient quarries and rock formations, with a surreal, almost myth-like vibe. Some descriptions even call it Atlantis because it feels otherworldly compared with typical beach stops.

You will have around 1 hour 30 minutes at this stop, with plenty of time for a swim. This is not just “dip your toes and go.” The setting is built for movement, floating, and taking your time finding the best spots in the natural pools.

Two cautions, both practical:

• Water conditions change. Clear and calm at one stop can be different at another, so be ready for a quick adjust.
• This is the kind of stop where you might lose track of time, which is great, as long as your group stays aware of when you will be called back on board.

Stop 4: Es Vedrà, the iconic silhouette from the sea

Then you head toward Es Vedrà, one of Ibiza’s most iconic islets. The sailing time listed for this segment is 45 minutes, followed by about 1 hour total time at this point, with roughly 30 minutes to enjoy the surroundings from the water.

What makes this stop valuable is that you do not just look at Es Vedrà from shore. You get the bigger scale, the sense of it rising out of the sea, and the way the light changes as you move. If you have tried seeing Es Vedrà from land before, you already know it is impressive, but viewing it from a boat is a different experience.

This also helps with “photo time” without turning your day into a photo shoot. You can take pictures quickly, then actually enjoy the water and the view.

Stop 5: Cala d’Hort beach time, snorkel, SUP, and lunch decisions

After your Es Vedrà time, you move to Platja de Cala d’Hort. The stop is built around options. You arrive to soft sand and turquoise water, with Es Vedrà as a backdrop. The plan specifically calls out snorkeling and paddle SUP opportunities here.

You have about 2 hours at this beach area, and that is a good length for real beach time. You can swim, snorkel, and still have enough time to take it slow on the sand.

Lunch is where you get a choice. You can:

• Eat on board with catering (meals are not included by default, but catering is an option), or
• Go down to the bars on the beach area for food like paella, octopus, or fish of the day

For value, I like that you are not forced into one lunch plan. If you want the convenience, onboard catering can fit. If you want to keep things flexible, the beach bars are there as an option. Just remember meals are not included in the base price, so decide this ahead so no one gets hangry at the worst moment.

Stop 6: Back to Cala Jondal, bow-net closing moments

You end with a return to Platja des Jondal and Cala Jondal. The final stretch gives you about 30 minutes, which is plenty for a last swim, sunbathing on the bow net, and the kind of closing photos that make it feel like a real trip and not a quick boat hop.

This is also when the on-board conveniences start to feel practical. You have a restroom on board, so you are not stuck waiting for the day to end. And since there is WiFi on board, you can share a quick update or check messages without draining your phone battery as fast.

If you are traveling with people who do not want a nonstop activity day, this last stop is ideal. It is short, it is relaxed, and it lets everyone finish on a good note.

Price and value for a group up to 11

The listed price is $1,330.82 per group, for up to 11 people, for about 8 hours on the water. It is also noted that it is commonly booked around 42 days in advance, which tells you the best chance at your preferred slots is not last-minute.

Here is the real value math. If you fill the boat close to 11 people, you are roughly at about $121 per person for an all-day private sail with included snorkeling gear, a SUP paddle board, and fuel. If your group is smaller, the per-person cost rises, but you still get the private factor, plus the built-in water activities.

I also think the “included” items matter. You are not paying extra for basic essentials like snorkeling gear, fuel, and the on-board basics like a restroom and WiFi. That makes the final total feel more predictable.

The biggest “watch-out” before you book

The most important consideration is expectation management around what your day includes beyond the base package.

Meals are not included in the standard offer, but catering is available if you ask for it. Also, if you were imagining extra snacks and drinks as part of the experience, confirm what your specific sailing includes. Some days can feel exactly like a full service day, and other days can feel more like sailing plus swimming with fewer extras. A quick message before you go can save a lot of disappointment.

It also helps to remember that sea days can shift due to conditions and routing. If you are the type of traveler who wants a perfectly timed checklist of stops with minimal waiting, stay flexible. This kind of itinerary is designed for a good flow, but the sea decides some parts.

Who this catamaran trip suits best

This is a strong fit if you want:

• A private Ibiza experience where you can control the pace
• Multiple swim chances, not just one token dip
• Water toys included, especially snorkeling gear and a SUP paddle board
• A mix of calm bays and iconic views, especially Es Vedrà from the sea

It also tends to work well for friend groups and multigenerational groups who can share the workload. The restroom on board and the relaxing bow-net vibe help people who are not trying to sprint from place to place.

If your top priority is a long beach day only, or if you want a heavy, guided history talk at each stop, this might feel more like a sailing and swimming day than a land-style tour. The itinerary is built around water time, not lectures.

Should you book this Ibiza Lagoon 400 day?

I would book it if you want the classic Ibiza “see the icons, then actually swim” combo, and you care about getting value from included water gear. The mix of Es Torrent, Sa Pedrera, and time near Es Vedrà, plus Cala d’Hort beach and lunch choice, is a well-shaped day.

I would hesitate only if you are expecting meals and extra snacks and drinks to be automatically part of the package. In that case, ask early about what is provided on board and whether catering is the way to handle lunch.

If you like your plans practical, water-first, and private, this is the kind of day that turns into an easy highlight.
