How much does Formentera from Ibiza cost, and what does each option include?
Updated October 19, 2026 · 6 min read
For most travellers who want to explore Formentera independently, choose the Ibiza to Formentera Ferry with open return: it starts at €54.99 and the flexible return is more useful than an included lunch. The cheapest listed choice is the Sant Antoni round-trip boat at €44, but it makes sense chiefly for west-coast guests. For an arranged day with swimming, food and drinks, take the all-inclusive trip with three stops at €110.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ferry with open return | 1 day | €54.99 | 4.2 ★ · 1,770 | independent day from Ibiza |

| Crystal Waters, open bar and buffet lunch | not stated | €55 | 4.1 ★ · 559 | boat and guided coastal walk |

€54.99: pay for freedom on the island
The fast ferry’s price covers the crossing and a flexible return, while the outward departure remains fixed. Its listing mentions up to 33 departures daily. The listing mentions no food or activities. It suits you if Formentera itself matters more than entertainment on board.
€45: the practical Playa d’en Bossa crossing
This return transfer is the stronger value for guests already staying near Platja d’en Bossa. The listing gives 45 minutes, but the listing mentions no guided tour on Formentera. Saving €9.99 against the open-return ferry is worthwhile only if its departure and return fit your plans.

€44: cheapest, but only from the right coast
The Sant Antoni boat is the lowest starting price in this comparison. Its ten-hour duration describes the overall outing, and the coastal journey is part of the appeal. Crossing Ibiza to save €1 from Playa d’en Bossa would be false economy; choose it because Sant Antoni is convenient.

€55: more structure for almost ferry money
Crystal Waters combines a boat trip, guided coastal walk, free time, open bar and buffet lunch. The booking information does not state a duration, which is a real drawback when planning connections. Confirm the day’s schedule before treating it as a direct substitute for a ferry.

€110: the complete boat day
With 2,200 reviews, this option costs exactly twice the Crystal Waters starting price. Its ten hours include three stops, sangria, snorkelling, paddleboards and free time. The premium buys a managed day at sea with sangria, snorkelling and paddleboards. It is poor value for someone who wants to reach one beach quickly, but the clearest choice for a group that wants activities and lunch settled together.

Our recommendation remains the ferry with open return for most independent visitors. Book the €44 or €45 transfer when its port is beside your hotel; pay €110 only when the boat day, not merely arrival on Formentera, is what you want.
