Luxury Yacht Charter in Formentera

Pale sand, luminous shallows and an unhurried pace — Formentera is the Balearics at their most serene.

A Balearic Perspective

Formentera by Yacht

Formentera is the smallest inhabited Balearic island, known for long beaches and remarkably clear, shallow water. A Formentera yacht charter makes the most of that, with long hours at anchor off the coast.

Catamarans are especially well suited here, offering stable platforms above the shallows. Motor yachts and sailing yachts are also available through different providers.

The island's seagrass meadows are protected, and anchoring is regulated in some areas. Captains choose suitable spots, and routes should be confirmed with the provider.
