Alberto & Irene welcome you like long lost friends and the day trip reflects that , It was fun, informative, safe but chill. We had a really lovely day, stopping of at the turquoise waters at Espelmador then a quick trip to Ses Illetes in Formentera for little lunch. An excellent day with drinks and snacks provided..

We had the most amazing day sailing with Alberto and Irena. They took such good care of us and made sure we had a really fun day. They reached out and communicated the meeting location before the trip and a suggestion for where to park, and made sure everyone was comfortable once on board. Irena prepared a wonderful little snack box for each couple to share with some salami, nuts, chips, and olives/pickles. We didn’t bring lunch and were expecting to need to go ashore in Formentera for lunch, but the snack box tided us over and was the perfect amount of food. They kept the beers and wine coming throughout the afternoon, and the spots they took us to were absolutely gorgeous. They provided floaties, noodles, a paddle board and snorkeling equipment for anyone who wanted it. The boat was beautiful and comfortable, and we appreciated the small group atmosphere of this tour. Can’t WAIT to come back!!

Irene and Alberto are the best people! This experience was very personalized.
First, the day before they contacted us with clear instructions on where to meet them. Excellent communication via WhatsApp and Iphone message.
Second, the sailboat felt very safe and very clean. They are also very accommodating and so considerate.
Third, we spent the perfect amount of time in every location. They gave us very valuable information at every place as well as Ibiza in general. The locations were very well though-out and intentional.
They also provided delicious snacks and drinks! Irene was especially very hospitable and there was no shortage of aperitivo, wine, beer, colas.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!

Excellent experience….Formentera is worth visiting 100 percent. Our guides , Alberto and Irene were awesome and made sure everyone had a great time.
Nicole_M, Jul 2026
Had a lovely day!! The couple who runs the tour is fabulous and so welcoming. We saw dolphins and the water at Formentera and the beach before was so nice! The restaurant at Formentera is sooo expensive so def bring your own snacks you can store them in their fridge.

We were picked up on the rustic beach pier and transported to the sailing boat by dingy. A relaxing 1hr 45 mins to our first stop and then onto a lovey beach in Formentera. Lots of swimming, sunshine and a delicious snacks. The care and attention outstanding, endless offers for drinks, always looking to make our experience fun and enjoyable . If you want a laid back , relaxing authentic experience travelling to Formentera this is the trip for you.

Amazing experience with Mas Que Nada Sailing! The cruise was perfectly organised, we visited beautiful secluded locations in Formentera and enjoyed ourselves with water sports, hikes on the beach and a lovely aperitivo. Alberto and Irene were the best part of the experience, so kind and attentive with all the group! Can’t recommend them enough

We joined this boat tour yesterday with friends for a bachelorette celebration, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip.
As Greeks, hospitality is something we deeply value and understand, but the hospitality we experienced here went far beyond our expectations. From the very first moment, we felt welcomed, cared for, and treated like family.
What makes this experience so special is that you can genuinely see how much they love what they do. It never felt like a tour, it felt like being at home with friends.
They know exactly where to take you, showing you the most beautiful beaches and hidden gems around Formentera.
We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Ibiza & Formentera. If you're looking for breathtaking places, genuine hospitality, and people who truly care, look no further.
Thank you for everything!
Warm regards,
Katerina, Anna, Smaro & Natalie

We had such a lovely time on this boat trip. The couple who own and run the boat were absolutely wonderful – so friendly, welcoming and genuinely caring throughout the day. They made everyone feel comfortable and created a really relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
The snacks provided were delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and they were always checking to make sure we had everything we needed. It felt much more personal than a typical boat excursion, and you can really see the pride and passion they put into what they do.
Thank you for such a fun and memorable experience. We would happily recommend this trip to anyone looking for a relaxing day on the water with fantastic hosts.

We loved meeting Alberto, Irene, and their darling daughter and had a fabulous sailing trip with them. The beaches of Formentera are stunning, and the whole day was a delight. Highly recommend!
Liliya_L, Sep 2024
This was an excellent start to our trip. I cannot recommend this experience enough. When we are back in Ibiza we are definitely doing it again.
Charlotte_D, Aug 2024
Me and two friends attended the boat trip. Alberto and Irene were perfect hosts! Two other people joined. Consisted of two stops one to Formentera, a little private island where you get off for an hour to explore the sea and beach. Drinks were provided beer, soft drinks etc. a food tray was provided, breadsticks, pizza bruschetta, chorizo etc. we then stopped so we could paddle board and swim in the sea for a couple of hours before making our way back. Irene and Alberto were so accommodating and looked after two of my friends who became sea sick.
Sarah_J, Jul 2024
From the moment we got aboard the boat, the tour operators were advising us not to drink anything and sit still. The other party of four arrived and we set off. Within 10 mins of an hours journey a member of the other party started being very sick, soon after a member of our party was also very unwell. We were still at a point where we could have turned around to be let off, but we were unable to and the tour operators did seem uninterested in how unwell we had become. I insisted that we make the first stop to a point where we could get off the boat and make alternative travel back to the mainland as a member of our party was very unwell. No real concern ws shown by the tour operator and from the start of the trip I stand by my belief that the sea was too rough for a boat trip that should have been a pleasurable experience for all. On top of the cost of the trip, we had to spend a further 80 euros to get us back to the mainland, before a taxi (expected) back to our accommodation. Please consider the weather before taking a tour out or give your guests the option to cancel on the morning. We lost a whole day recovering from being very sick.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hi Sarah and Steve , we are sorry that you had a bad experience.
When you showed symptoms of sea sickness we advised you to not drink during the sail (1h15) as it can get things worse. You told that you were in hangover after the Euro
Cup match. It is not advisable to drink a lot of alcohol the night before a boat tour. You insisted to be drop on land once in Formentera to get a ferry back to Ibiza and we were force to change the schedule of the day to make you happy. We don't agree with your opinion about the sea conditions. Weather and sea conditions were perfect for a day trip sailing to Formentera: this is proven by the fact that was full of boats and people enjoying the beauty of the island.
Kind regards

Alberto and Irene were amazing hosts and their boat was beautiful. This was a perfect day trip to celebrate our honeymoon and they also catered amazingly to our vegan diet!
Mathilde_T, Jun 2024

Spent the day on Alberto’s boat ‘Grace’ it was absolutely perfect. His knowledge of the island combined with the relaxed nature of the trip was the perfect ending to our holiday. Would 100% recommend you won’t find a better boat trip in ibiza.
Thank you again Alberto!

Camille_A, Aug 2023
Alberto and his wife have been super nice. The boat and the tour were great, our kids loved jumping from the boat, swimming in the magnificient sea of Formentera. The Beach they took us was superb, we felt like we were alone in a desert island. Great memories!
Emma_P, Jul 2023
What an amazing boat trip, Alberto and Irene were the best hosts. They gave us all the possible options for staying on the boat or visiting the islands, and took care of even the smallest of details.
The outing was awesome and a great way way to see Formentera and a private island. If you want a super relaxing boat trip and avoid the party boat style excursions then I highly recommend Más que Nada!
Matteo_M, Jul 2022
Alberto is the best host, very kind and top expert of Formentera. This experience is really amazing and super relaxing - do not miss on it!
Sophie_H, Jun 2022
Alberto was a fantastic host and the sailboat is beautiful. We really enjoyed our trip, the beaches are definitely worth the visit. We are two city girls and Alberto was very patient with us acting like babies getting into the sea, thanks Alberto!! Would definitely do this again :)
Louise_S, Jun 2022
We had a wonderful trip, we wanted to do a boat trip without huge crowds and this was perfect with only 6 guests on board! Alberto was very kind, friendly and helpful. He contacted me the day before to explain the meeting place with a map link. The boat is lovely with space to sit in the shade and space to lay and sunbathe.
The two swimming spots were lovely and even though we shared the trip with other people Alberto let us know that we could do as we pleased in terms of staying on the boat or visiting the islands.
We especially enjoyed snorkelling and the use of the paddle-board!
The lunch that was provided was also delicious. A thoroughly brilliant day that we won’t forget.
Thank you Alberto.
