The Palma–Ibiza crossing is one of the classic Balearic passages: roughly 60–70 nautical miles depending on the landfall, typically run in daylight on a comfortable cruising schedule. Aboard M/Y Lio Black Knight (Sunseeker 95), the run is a highlight of multi-day itineraries linking Mallorca with Ibiza and Formentera.

Typical timing

At a comfortable cruise (around 18 knots), expect on the order of 3.5–4.5 hours underway, weather dependent. Exact departure and arrival are always set by the captain based on forecast, swell and guest plans for the day — not a fixed ferry timetable.

What guests experience

• Open-water Mediterranean cruising with flybridge and deck seating
• Lunch and service underway or timed around departure/arrival
• Arrival into Ibiza waters with time to anchor or berth for the evening

Planning tips

Build the crossing into a longer Balearic loop rather than treating it as a one-off transfer. Pair with an Mallorca–Ibiza–Formentera itinerary or an Ibiza & Formentera focus week. For current weekly pricing see rates; to lock dates use enquire.

Passage plans are always subject to captain’s discretion and conditions. This guide is general orientation, not a navigational brief.
