Catamaran or Motor Yacht? How to Choose Your Terrace on the Mediterranean

Ibiza from the sea is a different island. You already know that.
But what you might not realise is that the boat you choose will define the rhythm of your day (or even your entire week).

We’re often asked: “What’s better, a powerful yacht or a spacious catamaran?”
The short answer is: it depends on whether you want to get there fast or truly enjoy the journey.

Here’s the honest truth — no fluff — so you can choose like a local expert.

A motor yacht is for those who want to make the most of every minute.

If your plan is to have breakfast in Ibiza, lunch at a beach club in Formentera and be back in time for sunset facing Es Vedrà, you need speed.

• Speed is freedom: A yacht lets you hop from cove to cove in minutes.
  If the wind picks up from the east, you can cross to the other side of the island in no time.
• Pure style: Let’s be honest — arriving at Ibiza port on a sleek, aggressive-lined Italian yacht has a unique magnetism. It’s the benchmark of classic luxury.
• Ideal for: Groups who love speed, couples seeking privacy, and anyone who wants to see as much as possible in a single day.

If the yacht is a sports car, the catamaran is a luxury suite on the water. Here, time slows down. In Ibiza, catamarans have become the favourite option for those who understand that luxury also means space and stability.

• Total stability: With two hulls, the boat barely rocks. You can leave your glass of champagne on the table without a second thought — comfort is absolute, even when anchored in slightly choppy coves.
• Real space: A 12-metre catamaran offers more usable living space than an 18-metre yacht. You’ll have front nets to relax over the water, open lounge areas and a sense of space that never feels crowded.
• Ideal for: Families with children (for safety and space), larger groups who want to enjoy long afternoons onboard, and overnight stays where you truly feel at home.

If you’re looking for impact and speed, choose one of our yachts or superyachts. You’ll feel the power of the engine and the exclusivity of arriving before anyone else.

If what you’re after is disconnection, calm and space where every guest has their own corner, then a catamaran is your winning choice. It’s literally like taking the terrace of your villa out to sea.
