Milestone
An Anniversary at Sea
A two-day crossing to Formentera, one night at anchor in S'Alga. The itinerary we recommend more than any other.
When a couple writes to the office asking what to do for a milestone anniversary, the answer is almost always the same: a two-day, one-night charter to Formentera. The reasons are practical — the right length, the right scenery, the right pace — but the real answer is that we have run dozens of these and the couples come back to us afterwards in a particular tone of voice we have learned to recognise.
Day one: embarkation around 12:00, a long, slow lunch as the boat crosses to Espalmador. Day two: a swim before the wind comes up, a slow lunch at Illetes, a final glass on the bow, alongside in Marina Ibiza by 20:00.

- 04A printed itinerary in the cabin you can change at any moment with the captain

Suggested yachts
Built for this kind of day.
31.0 mDark Knight
102ft Leopard with twin MTUs, 26 knots flat. Built for owners who'd rather arrive than cruise — Formentera in forty minutes, Mallorca before lunch. Twelve guests across five staterooms; a crew of four who've been aboard since the 2023 refit.
31.0 mLa Romana
Sister hull to Dark Knight, refit 2024. Same Leopard 102 chassis, same twin MTUs — finished in warm teak and cream. Flybridge jacuzzi, foredeck sun pads, a tender lift that handles 4.2m. Quieter at speed than the original.
30.2 mLady KC
99ft Maiora with zero-speed stabilisers — comfortable at anchor in any swell. Flybridge jacuzzi, sun beds, sound system, and a full provisioning package included: seabob, jet ski, paddleboards, drinks. The reliable choice for guests who value stillness over speed.
27.0 mAya One
27m Leopard 90 — sport-yacht performance with a flybridge that runs the full length of the upper deck. 27 knots cruise on triple MTUs, three doubles plus a twin, full crew of three. The fastest hull in the larger fleet and the most generous toy package: two seabobs, two paddleboards, a jet ski.

Questions we hear
Most-asked.
Is one night enough?+
For an anniversary, yes — almost always. Two nights for a couple alone can begin to feel long. The single night at anchor in S'Alga is the moment of the trip; everything before and after is the way in and the way out.
Can we extend into a small surprise dinner ashore on day two?+
Yes — we hold a 19:30 table at Es Macellum in Ibiza Town as standard for the night of disembarkation; release it the morning of if you'd rather end with the boat.
