Boat rental in Ibiza · Bayliner — 3288 Flybridge (1996)
Description of Manuel's motorboat
Motorboat Bayliner 3288 Flybridge 400hp
Enjoy this magnificent boat with capacity for twelve passengers where you can relax in any of its three environments. A complete refit has been done in 2022. On the one hand, the aft lounge to enjoy a meal with friends or family, the fly with a considerable height to be calm and enjoy the breeze and lastly and most desired, the bow solarium to sunbathe with capacity up to 5 people. The ideal type of boat if what you want is to have an unforgettable experience on the island of Ibiza. The boat is from 1996, its last renovation was in 2024, updating and giving it a facelift for our next season on the island. It is located in the port of Santa Eulalia, where it has its base port. From this port we can visit places in the north of the island of Ibiza, Tagomago and of course, the desired island of Formentera with its majestic coves. This ship is characterized by its different spaces and its great use of space. It has the capacity to sleep 6 people comfortably on board with 2 cabins and a convertible lounge. We have to comment on its low fuel consumption for this large boat. About 80L/h, which is around 150 euros of diesel per hour approximately at a cruising speed of 10 knots.

All perfect. Totally recomending.
The day before the boatday the owner texted me, that the boat isn't available and we need to change the boat. I was okay with that but the boat wasn't the same at all. The equipment wasn't the same, it wasn't modern as the one we booked. And there were some miscommunications, I wanted a discount but at the end I paid more than in the contract. The communication was really good at the beginning but at the end it was really bad and not kind and helping at all. Try to have a contract as a pdf since the owner says it's not about what the app says, the real price is through texting? And at the end you pay more and get a bad boat. I wanted to celebrate my birthday on that boat and the skipper really did a great job and made a beautiful day out of it, but the service and the boat itself was bad at all. I'm not recommending this one.
Absolutely terrible experience. It took us more than 2.5 hours just to get to Formentera, despite repeatedly asking the skipper to speed up. He told us the boat couldn’t go faster, and we never exceeded 8 knots. The skipper was clearly unprofessional – we had to anchor and lift the anchor ourselves, and at some point, he even asked us to steer the boat. We seriously doubt he even has a valid license. This was by far the worst boat rental experience for all of us. We barely had time to enjoy swimming as we were constantly rushed. Would never book with them again.
We chartered the boat for the full day on the 28th of june. The first issue arose just at the beginning. One of the two engines didn‘t start. This lead to discussions with the captain about our options for the day. Going to Formentera as planned wasn‘t possible with just one engine. After approx. one hour, the engine suddenly started and we were good to go. Not exactly trust-building . The second and bigger issue was our captian who wasn‘t fit to steer a boat. Leaving the marina he hit several other boats and slightly damaged our own in the process. Later on he managed the anker to get stuck and he broke off the ship‘s bow (!) while trying to get the anker free. While he was doing this at see we were waiting on Formentera for him to pick us up. Again over an hour lost from the day. Without the possibility to anker we were not comfortable to go swimming, especially as the captain was clearly not capable to maneuver the boat precisely and we would have been in the water with the engines running. Returning to the marina the boss of the company was waiting for us, as we had escalated the situation to him. He witnessed how our captian nearly hit another anchored boat while trying to land at the dock. The boss himself then boarded our ship from a boat of the harbormaster and landed it himself. Even though he witnessed the inability of his captain and the damage on his own boat, he refused to take proper ownership. We got less than 1/3 of our money back. Do not book with this company.
We had a fabulous day with Manuel onboard Chiquitin. He was very professional and knowledgeable, we felt in safe hands from the start. The boat is a good size, with plenty of space for sunbathing up front. Note that it is not a speed boat, so factor that in in your planning. She is quite old but very well maintained Manuel pulled out all the stops with plates of delicious snacks on arrival in formentera. Next time we’ll take him up on his offer of paella!
Me and my friends had the best day in this charter! Manuel made us feel so welcome, provided us with refreshments and snacks and stopped off at some beautiful locations! I shopped around for some quotes and this was by far the most reasonable and worth the money. I genuinely would not hesitate to book with him!!! Thankyou so much to Manuel for being such a great host, taking some amazing pictures and making us all feel at ease.
It was a very nice day and Manuel was super friendly! The Paella was amazing!! A must have when you book this boat!! Even when you’re not a big fan of a paella you will be after ! Thanks again for everything Manuel 🙏🏽 10/10
Perfect day! Manuel is simply the perfect captain, so kind and welcoming, made the time we spent on the boat just amazing...
An Unforgettable Boat Trip – Simply Perfect! We had an amazing boat trip that exceeded all expectations. Manuel was incredibly welcoming and knew the best spots with stunning turquoise waters. His local knowledge made the experience truly special. On top of that, the service was outstanding – he even made the best paella! The overall experience was fantastic, and the value for money was excellent. If you’re looking for a perfect day on the water, this is it! ☺️ thanks for everything Manuel!

We had such a great time on this boat! Manuel is so professional, welcoming and fun captain also cooks the most delicious paella! Thank you for this amazing day out on the water!
Simply put - you cannot hope for a better captain than Manuel and overall boat experience. Took us to great places, had a laugh with us, and was comfortably our best day in Ibiza. Would 100% recommend Manuel.
Manuel was very friendly, knowledgable and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. We felt safe and comfortable with him as our Skipper. The boat was perfect for our requirements. Fabulous!
When we arrived we received a very warm welcome from Manuel. Communication was clear from booking and he was happy to answer all my questions. Snacks were served throughout the day aswell as ice and water and a big JBL speaker. We could choose how long we wanted to stay in a spot before moving, Manuel was lovely. We would definitely book again and would recommend
I cannot recommend Manual highly enough for an unforgettable boat trip experience! We booked a day trip to Formentera and had three stops there and it was fun for us and our kids. But what sets Manual apart is that he's not just a great skipper – he's also an amazing chef! We were treated to a fantastic paella on board. Five stars all the way – we can't wait to our next trip with Manual again!
Manuel was extremely professional. The paella was very tasteful. I definitely recommend.
Manuel is great captain and you cannot find a better boat for this price. Highly reccomnded!
We did the north tour & had an amazing time!
Very nice captain/owner ! Great, large boat, perhaps a bit older and slower, still a great cruise and best value for money
Octavio was a lovely skipper throughout the day. He made us feel comfortable and taught us many things, as well as being a great guide on where to go. He took care of us at all times and was attentive to our needs. For his part, Manu, the owner of the boat, was a very pleasant person who helped us with the entire reservation and made everything easy for us. Great service in every aspect, highly recommended.
A wonderful day with Captain Manuel in Ibiza! We thoroughly enjoyed it.
Unfortunately, it fell short of our expectations. We didn't have the same experience I read in the comments when booking. The boat wasn't very comfortable, the rear sofas had a wooden board under the cushions, making it difficult to be comfortable in some areas, and we didn't get the famous Paella...
Everything is incredible. Thanks, Manuel. We'll be back!!!
Very bad experience. The route suggested by the skipper is not recommended at all. After lunch, one of the boat's engines broke down, and it took us two hours to get back to port without being able to make any stops. Half of our reservation was useless. The only solution proposed was to excuse us from sailing for an hour (they charged us for three instead of four). Not at all recommended.
Great day on board with Manuel! Manuel was very attentive, he took us to some very nice coves, he treated us exquisitely and he cooked us a paella... delicious!!!! We have already arranged to meet him again next year! Thanks for the day Manuel!!!!
Excellent day with Manuel, a very nice day
Even though the sea was a bit rough, we had a great day. Manuel is a great chef and a crack
What a wonderful day with Manuel and his boat. The skipper was a delight, very experienced and very knowledgeable about the island. The boat was great and the excursion to unknown coves and caves was amazing. We even had dolphin wine! We will definitely be back. Thank you for everything.
Manuel is a genius! 100% recommended
Great welcome! No bad surprises We spent a great day with our children
Incredible experience! Manuel is a genius. We will definitely be back.
Manu a 10 not a 15 and the paella is spectacular. I recommend it
Thank you to Manuel for his kindness and attention. Everything was incredible! A magnificent experience in Ibiza and a phenomenal paella ?
We spent a wonderful day aboard Manuel's boat.. he met all our expectations and cooked us a delicious paella.. he was an attentive and kind host with a smile always on his face.. thanks Manuel we will be back to sail with you.
Mi Hermano Manuel el numero 1, very good paella EL LOCO MANU
Manuel is an excellent captain, he advised us from the first moment, he prepared a spectacular paella. I absolutely recommend it
Manuel is, in all words, a great host. Always attentive to every detail and a very pleasant person to talk to. We have enjoyed a unique family day with Manuel and it has been incredible
Manuel is a really good host! Always friendly, polite and understanding. I have rarely met such a good guide on my many boat trips. Apart from him, his freshly cooked paella was amazing. Always happy to go with Manuel.
I absolutely recommend this boat if you want to have a day out with friends. The paella cooked by Manuel was delicious, everything perfect. We will definitely be back.
It has been a pleasure sailing with Manuel. We were 12 people and he accommodated us wonderfully. He also made us a seafood paella on the boat (we were the envy of all of Ibiza). Without a doubt the next time in Ibiza I will have Manuel again.
It was a beautiful experience. We had an excellent day. Manuel took us to beautiful places and made us make the most of the day. I would rent Manuel's boat again every time I visit Ibiza.
