'Sea' the best of the Balearic Islands with Charteralia!…read more I've been fortunate enough to have sailed with Charteralia every summer for the last 4 years! With the same excitement that club seeking tourists rush to Ibiza and run to the parties, I rush to the marina to board one of their boats knowing that any captain I get (I've sailed with Jose N., Jose Z., Fede, Mario & Edorta) will surely give me an experience that will keep me smiling all year! All of their boats are in tip-top shape, but I have to admit I've developed a special connection with Mr. Binguel & Mr. Jones - there's something about those two that has captured my affection. All of their captains are extremely friendly, knowledgable, entertaining and know how to provide A+ service! They know the islands like the back of their hands and will always take you to the best beaches and find the perfect spots to drop anchor. There's no better feeling in the world than the one you get while relaxing on your private floating paradise over turquoise water while listening to the wind and knowing you're the perfect distance away from the on shore beach chaos & crowds. Charteralia also offers speed boat service to Formentera, another sliver of paradise, which I've used for a day trip. Regardless what boat (cat, sail, speed...), itinerary (day trip, week charter, sunset cruise...there's something for everyone!) or island you decide to explore, Charteralia will surely give you the experience of a lifetime! I'm already counting down the days to my next trip (223 to be exact...sigh) - I've not only found my perfect summer destination, but also friends & fun guides I plan to keep forever! In my opinion, Charteralia should go down in the books as the 8th wonder of the world and I'm sure I'm not the only lucky passenger who feels that way! :)

This was my second trip to Ibiza and since I was unable to experience a boat tour the first time, I…read moremade sure we did this time. Pros: -Their customer service : I contacted Jose via email to inquire and although the website had all the information I needed, he kindly answered everything (25+ emails). -Their Catamaran: I originally opted for the sail boat since it was only for a group of 4 adults but I wanted to surprise my friends and wife with an upgrade, so I decided to reserve the catamaran. Although the catamaran costs more, it is WORTH IT! It was nothing but smooth sailing. -Trust- Have faith because the entire process leading up to the trip is all about having PLENTY of it. It was pouring so we had to wait and see if the rain was going to let up. While waiting, Jose bought us a couple rounds of drinks and some food to hold us up. While waiting, he did not pressure us about staying and told us that he would refund the money if we wanted to leave, not just the partial amount, but the entire amount! We're so happy we waited out the rain because the catamaran ride was the best part of our trip. It was the most relaxing, fun time we had on our vacation. We even saw dolphins out in the bay! Supposedly that's lucky and not the norm. The sunset was the most beautiful thing we've seen. Not only that, he discounted part of the excursion because we did lose some time and offered to keep us out there longer because we had faith. They were professional, friendly, nice, and attentive to our needs. While out on the waters, one of my friends got stung by a jellyfish. Jose took care of it right away and treated it for her. All in all, it was an amazing experience and we will be back next time. Thank you so much for an amazing experience! My wife did not want to leave the catamaran.

As the planned boat rental was not available on 1st of October (start of the off-summer prices), we…read morewere allowed to have it on the same price on 30th of September. Appreciated! We met an experienced and very friendly employee of Xaloc which let us leave on the morning. He informed us on 2 "squawks" on the boat: auto anchor winch is not available, only by hand + bilge pump is required a lot of the time. Having 1 meter waves and an incoming depression zone with rain, we decided to turn back after only 1h30 at sea. Weather was worse than forecasted. The employee told us we were unfortunate on the weather and advised us to change the rental day. This day change was not an issue at all. Next planned sailing day on Saturday 2nd of October. Lovely day, beautiful weather, perfect day! We went out to Formentera and anchored. When deciding to leave the engine stalled on us. Several starting attempts, including priming, left us with a depleted battery. Thereafter the day turned a bit sour. Initially we were happy to hear Service Center was incoming to offer a hand, and luckily we were anchored on a beautiful spot enjoying the sunshine. However, it took them 4 hours to get to us! Half of the day passed and only used the boat for an hour! When they finally came and helped out with charged batteries, the Service Center encountered same starting problems: the engine kept on stalling. By using a "quick fix" they re-engaged the engine and told us to make haste for the Ibiza harbour in one Go! Not shutting down the engine at any time and preferentially not neutralising or reversing the engine neither. Starter/ignition system at fault, together with the abnormal large requirement of bilge pump. (to note: no horn and no auto anchor neither) As we were picking up the anchor by hand, the guys from the service center already quickly moved away! Just as we made the first meter through the water, the engine stalled again... leaving us dead engine and alone again. We quickly dropped anchor by hand again and told them to come back. The return for the guys of the service center again took an hour! End of a joyful day for sure! Long story short: we were able to salvage ourselves back to Ibiza after one of the mechanics joining us half the part of the way back, then he needed to join the rib boat with his colleague again, leaving us alone from Formentera coasting out again. Engine did not make full power, we were instructed to keep RPM's reasonably low and not reversing. Bilge pump was required the whole part of the routing. Afterwards Xaloc fully returned our deposit as we are not the ones to blame of course, they did charge us the gas for both days and gave us a -20% reduction on next occasion. As we are travellers abroad to all different countries, we are not looking towards a visit Ibiza very soon. So for us the reduction voucher is useless. I would have appreciated a larger commercial gesture for the limited time we were able to use the boat. Still to remark: spending 4 hours on the boat in the sun, dead-engined, we were lucky Xaloc provides a cooling box with a lot of additional water. Towels are also included in the booking. Still to remark: as I texted them, they still look a good charter company to me; we were both unlucky towards weather conditions and current boat status Best regards, Sebastien
