Watersports in Ibiza

There are plenty of watersports centres offering equipment hire and lessons in activities like sailing, scuba diving, wakeboarding and kite surfing all around the island. Alternatively, thrill seekers can enjoy rides in speedboats, jet skis or banana boats.

Major beach resorts like San Antonio, Playa d'en Bossa and Santa Eulalia have plenty of watersports to keep the kids entertained. Banana boats, ringos, parasailing and flying mattresses are among a range of inflatable fun to be had on the sea. Pedalos, paddleboards and kayaks are available for hire at most of the bigger resorts, usually from the beaches. This includes popular spots like Cala Llonga, Cala Vadella, Talamanca or Es Canar.

It's also often possible to borrow watersports gear from some of the Boat Trip or Yacht Charter companies on the island. The equipment may be included in part of your package, but do remember to ask before taking your trip.

Most of the watersports operators open every day in summer, with weekend operations in June and September. Things get a lot quieter over the winter, although you'll still find paddleboards, kayaks and boats to rent in some places. The wind picks up as of October and over the winter months, bringing good conditions for kiteboarders and windsurfers.
