Think of a private boat charter company in Ibiza and Formentera and Smart Charter Ibiza is almost certainly one of the first names to crop up. This year, the dynamic young company is celebrating its 10th anniversary!
Founded in 2013 by longtime island residents Charlie Veale and Alessandra Grisoni, today it is a thriving, successful business with a fleet of over 50 speed boats and yachts ranging in size from a modest 26 ft to an impressive 102 ft. First founded in Ibiza, Smart Charter now operates out of three locations in Spain: Ibiza, Mallorca and Marbella.
Since 2018, Smart Charter has collaborated with U.S. company Boatsetter, a global online booking platform for boat charters, in a partnership that has enabled it to expand its reach beyond Europe and into the American market.
The thriving company has been named the Best Balearic Yacht Charter Company in Acquisition International’s annual Business Excellence Awards for the last two years running: further confirmation of the company’s well earned reputation for excellence.
Smart Charter Ibiza’s dynamic team of experts is made up of long-time island residents who are passionate about boating and water sports. In addition to their in-depth knowledge of Ibiza and Formentera, each crew member is fluent in Spanish and English, while the office staff speak Spanish, English, French and German.
All charters include captain and crew, as well as a selection of beverages, snacks and water sports equipment. The best thing is that with these fully private charters you can customise your trip down to the last detail - from the starting time to the route taken. Some of the most popular excursions include the classic Ibiza to Formentera trip, a visit to the mythical islet of Es Vedrá - think unforgettable sunsets - or an exploration of the many glamorous beaches and seaside restaurants dotted around Ibiza’s south coast.
A wide range of optional add-ons and services is also available These include private catering, mixologists, DJs, massage and beauty therapists, yoga teachers, childcare professionals, photographers and videographers, and more. Each charter is bespoke and Smart Charter Ibiza’’s dedicated team will do its utmost to create a charter trip to match your budget, group size and occasion.
For those who have more time, Smart Charter Ibiza can arrange a longer trip, allowing privileged participants to wake up to a different beach each morning. Sail across the Balearic Sea to the neighbouring islands of Mallorca or Menorca in the comfort of one of Smart Charter Ibiza’s luxurious larger yachts. With plush cabins, ensuite bathrooms, fully equipped kitchens, spacious living and dining spaces and plenty of deck space for sunbathing, they offer a fantastic alternative to a hotel or villa.
Here's to another 10 years of success! Congratulations to all the Smart Charter team.
