Setting Sail with Family

As a travel writer and a mother of three, I am always on the lookout for family-friendly adventures that offer both fun and learning experiences. Our recent trip to Sant Jordi de ses Salines for a private catamaran day trip to Ibiza and Formentera was nothing short of spectacular. The anticipation was palpable as we arrived at the dock of Ses Salines Beach, where our captain, Pali, and stewardess, Ramiro, greeted us warmly. Their hospitality set the tone for the day, making us feel right at home on the beautiful catamaran.

The kids were thrilled to explore the boat, which was equipped with everything we needed for a day of adventure. From snorkeling gear to paddleboards, the catamaran was a floating playground. We set sail towards the paradisiacal S’Espalmador beach, and the journey was filled with laughter and excitement. The crystal-clear waters were inviting, and we couldn’t resist diving in for a swim. The kids were fascinated by the colorful fish and enjoyed using the snorkeling equipment to explore the underwater world.

A Taste of Paradise

Our next stop was the renowned Playa de Ses Illetes, considered one of the best beaches in the world. The short sail was a breeze, and the sight of the pristine white sands took our breath away. We took the dinghy ashore and spent some time walking along the beach, collecting shells, and soaking in the sun. The kids loved the freedom to run and play, and I cherished the opportunity to relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings.

One of the highlights of the trip was the delicious paella we enjoyed for lunch. Pali and Ramiro had arranged for us to be picked up directly from the boat and taken to a charming beachside restaurant. The paella was a hit with the whole family, and the experience of dining with the sound of the waves in the background was unforgettable. It was a perfect blend of relaxation and indulgence, and we left with full bellies and happy hearts.

Memories to Last a Lifetime

As the day drew to a close, we sailed back to Ibiza, stopping at the beautiful Beso Beach. The sunset was a sight to behold, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. We sat on the deck, sipping on the complimentary champagne, and reflected on the day’s adventures. The kids were tired but content, and I felt a deep sense of gratitude for the memories we had created together.

The communication leading up to the trip was seamless, and Pali and Ramiro’s attention to detail made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. Their suggestions for lunch and the ease of being picked up and driven ashore added a special touch to the day. It was a day filled with joy, laughter, and connection, and I am already looking forward to our next adventure with them.

For families seeking a unique and unforgettable experience, I highly recommend the Private Catamaran Trip. It’s a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and family bonding, and I can’t wait to return next year!
