Navigation
What the crossing between Ibiza and Mallorca is like
Short in miles, but in open sea. Planning makes the difference.
Between the east coast of Ibiza and Sa Dragonera most of the route has no shelter from the coast. That is why we plan the departure with official wind and wave forecasts and choose a window that gets us in during daylight.
Planing boats make the Ibiza → Palma crossing in about 4 h 10 min. Displacement boats at 9 knots need 8 h 10 min: if the final destination is far from Palma, it sometimes makes sense to put in at Port d'Andratx first.
With boats that have worked all summer, the pre-departure check matters: fluid levels, filters, bilges, batteries and safety gear. If the boat is going straight to the yard with a known fault, we recommend a marine engineer on board.
During the passage, the owner or broker can follow the position live and gets departure and arrival alerts.

FAQ
What owners ask about this route
Another question? Message us on WhatsApp and we will reply the same day.
How much does it cost to deliver a boat from Ibiza to Mallorca?
With a 46 ft planing motor yacht and a skipper only, about €770 + VAT to Palma: two skipper days, the crew's travel to Ibiza, the return to base and one per diem. Fuel is extra, paid by the owner: about €1,014 for 74 nm at 18 knots.
How long does it take by boat from Ibiza to Mallorca?
Ibiza → Palma is about 74 nm: 4 h 10 min at 18 knots, 6 h 10 min at 12 knots and 8 h 10 min at 9 knots. The closest port in Mallorca to Ibiza is Port d'Andratx, about 63 nm away.
Why is Palma → Ibiza cheaper than Ibiza → Palma?
Because our base is in Palma. If the boat leaves from Mallorca, the crew boards the same day and only the return from Ibiza is charged. If it leaves from Ibiza, the crew has to travel there first, which adds a day and a per diem.
Do you deliver boats from Formentera?
Yes. Formentera (La Savina) → Palma is about 82 nm, 4 h 30 min at 18 knots. We also move boats between Formentera and Ibiza: about 12 nm.
What weather affects the crossing between Ibiza and Mallorca?
Most of the route is open sea with no shelter. Easterlies and westerlies, which hit the boat on the beam, and northerly gales in autumn and winter matter most. The skipper sets the departure with official forecasts; if the window is not safe, we do not sail.
What paperwork does the boat need to cross between the islands?
Navigation permit or registration certificate, a valid seaworthiness certificate with a navigation zone covering the passage, insurance in force with proof of payment, and the CE declaration or registry sheet. We check them with you when preparing the quote.
