Brilliant trip, easy to locate pick up, we were the only guests on the boat so it was very special. Very relaxed, nothing too much trouble, the beers and snacks were so lovely, the stops were great-overall very very enjoyable !

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Amazing experience and such beautiful places
Cristian_H, Sep 2025
The sailboat is beautiful and the experience of going with the sails hoisted is great, you feel the sea really. The route is amazing, Ses Illetes and El Espalmador are some of the best beaches I have ever seen. 100% recommended.

Magnifique journée en petit groupe (6) et accompagné par un couple charmant et professionnel.
De bons conseils et une très bonne ambiance, avec en prime l’approche de plusieurs dauphins nageant à côté du voilier. Les paysages sont superbes.
LaraSophie_W, Jul 2023
Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Tag auf dem Boot. Die „Reiseleiter“ waren super freundlich und um uns bedacht. Es wurde auf individuelle Wünsche eingegangen und wir hätten uns den Tag nicht schöner vorstellen können. Unsere Erwartungen wurden definitiv übertroffen!
Jose_A, Aug 2022
Muy contentos con el trato viaje muy agradable encantados con la gente encargada de la excursion, mucha amabilidad por parte de la gente del barco
