Cooler Temperatures

Say goodbye to the scorching heat and humidity of July and August, and welcome the more comfortable temperatures of midseason. With the added reprieve from July and August’s intensity, September and October still offer plenty of golden sunshine and summer’s warmer water temperatures. 

A milder climate makes it easier for boaters to enjoy outdoor activities and easily explore the islands. Whether hiking on the coastline or sunning on your ship, the cooler midseason temperatures make time outside more enjoyable for everyone. 

Emptier Beaches

Escape the crowds and rediscover the breathtaking beauty of Ibiza and Formentera’s beaches during midseason. Unlike the peak months, September onwards offers a more tranquil atmosphere with fewer visitors. 

Embrace the sense of serenity as you dip into crystal-clear waters or take a stroll on powdery sands. With more space to unwind and soak up the sun, you can appreciate the natural splendor of the Balearic coastlines by boat or by land without the hustle and bustle of high season. 

Laidback Lunches

Indulge in the delectable flavors of the islands with a leisurely lunch at one of Ibiza and Formentera’s waterfront restaurants. Many establishments remain open until October, allowing visitors to savor local cuisine and explore a more relaxed and unhurried atmosphere. 

For an authentic Balearic dining experience, Smart Charter Ibiza recommends Juan Y Maria or El Tiburon, where you can settle into the laidback vibe and enjoy mouthwatering dishes. Treat yourself to an unforgettable meal and take in scenic views of the Mediterranean Sea.

Aquatic Adventures

No visit to the Balearic Islands is complete without immersing yourself in the azure waters that Ibiza and Formentera are renowned for. During the midseason, boaters have ample space to explore the waves and embark on exhilarating aquatic adventures. 

Stand-up paddle boarding, snorkeling, and jet skiing are just a few water activities you can try. Balearic offers a range of watersport options for all experience levels, and Smart Charter Ibiza offers an array of watercraft options and equipment to enhance your experience. 

Upgrade Your Boat Rental

You can make the most of the ambiance of late summer by upgrading your boat experience. Our selection of boats at Smart Charter Ibiza provides the perfect setting for a memorable event or gathering. You can also arrange for a bartender or DJ to join you on board and create a lively atmosphere.
