Day Charter Ibiza
Boat charter
Day Charter Ibiza, founded in 2012 by skipper Marco Ponticiello, offers crewed day charters of motor yachts, catamarans, gulets and sailing boats around Ibiza and Formentera. It arranges weddings and private events for up to 150 guests on selected yachts and catamarans.
What they do
Day Charter Ibiza was founded in 2012 by Marco Ponticiello, a professional skipper who settled on the island that year. It offers crewed charters of motor yachts, mega yachts, catamarans, sailing boats and gulets, mostly by the day, with weekly rentals for some boats. Most boats leave from Ibiza Town, with some from Sant Antoni.
The company manages several boats directly, looking after them through the winter and renting them in summer. It also works as a nautical agency, sourcing other boats from owners it selects.
Weddings in Ibiza
Day Charter Ibiza says it can organise weddings and private events for up to 150 people on selected yachts and catamarans. The event boat on its site is Saga, a 24-metre classic sailing boat for 35 guests. A larger motor yacht such as the Mondomarine 120 takes 30.
Most of the motor yachts take about 12 guests a day. That size suits the couple and close family or friends for a day at sea before or after the wedding. Catering, drinks and water toys such as jet skis and seabobs can be brought on board. A boat and beach weekend shows how a day like this fits into the wedding, and the Formentera page covers the usual destination.
Good to know

- For larger groups, ask which boats the company would use, since only one event boat is listed.
