Wow what an amazing experience from start to finish. My husband and friends surprised me with a birthday boat party with fancy boats.
Captain Paul came up to me on the dock and asked if my name was Nancy. I said yes he then asked if it was my birthday I said yes. He says “please take my hand and come with me” I follow him down the dock and he says “your husband has organized a boat for you” and he shows me this cute little boat 🛶 which I was just happy to be going on a boat honestly. He then turns me around to this beautiful big boat 🚤 that is called Fancy It and a bunch of my friends are on board waving at me 😯 I am totally surprised and dying laughing because my nickname is Fancy Nancy so clearly this boat is made for me 😂
I climb aboard to a cava bday cheers and off we go to Formentera. Paul was such a great captain making sure that I was happy, comfortable and always had a drink. He took us to an area in Formentera where we could swim in the turquoise waters and he also provided paddle boards to explore the area.
When the sun began to set we headed back towards Ibiza and caught the most epic sunset setting behind Es Vedra. Captain Paul drove us into that sunset. I really couldn’t have asked for a better birthday.
Such great vibes all around. I cannot wait to get back to Ibiza and book another cruise with Captain Paul and Fancy Boats.
If you’re thinking about booking with Fancy Boats just do it. I promise you won’t be disappointed. I was totally blown away.

Best day!
We had a surprise birthday for a friend on the boat and Captain Paul went out of his way to make sure it was a complete surprise!
He approached the birthday girl on the pontoon and let her know she would be riding on a little dingy to Formentera, it was hilarious! She still seemed so happy but then he turned her around to where we were all standing on his gorgeous boat ready with a cava toast for her.
Best part is we didn't ask him to do that, he just jumped off the boat and took charge of the surprise.
The rest of the trip was just as amazing. We went to a special spot that Captain Paul knew for swimming, he really knows the best areas in Formentera. We swam, played music on his awesome sound system and used the paddle boards to explore the area.
For sunset Captain Paul took us to an amazing viewpoint between Ibiza and Formentera where we stayed until the sun disappeared and then we headed back to the port.
There was plenty of chilled drinks for us on the boat and we were allowed to bring a nice picnic spread for the trip. There were plenty of towels, two clean bathrooms and lots of chill spaces.
Paul was such an accommodating and friendly captain, he really cared about our experience.
Fancy Boats is a super professional company to deal with from beginning to end. There are lots of options on Ibiza, but this is the real deal.
Thank you Captain Paul, this boat experience was the highlight of my friends visit!

We were a group of 10 and enquired about the boat only a day before. The guys managed to fit us in and we had the best day ever! Our captain Paul was a great guy that took us to a beautiful little place to use the paddleboards and have a swim before recommending a restaurant for us to go to at Formentera. After lunch, we did a slow trawl to catch sunset while listening to Disco Tunes. He even extended our time on the boat 45 minutes past what it was supposed to be because we were loving it so much. Highly recommend if you’re looking to have a great day at sea. The boat is lovely, all drink was covered in the cost and the guys were a pleasure to deal with. The whole group already said we will be back and do it again next year but maybe for a couple of days instead of just the one!

Amazing day out on the Fancy yacht!! Had a brilliant time, sound system was amazing and the Fancy team were brilliant. We went to an amazing restaurant on their recommendations in Formentera and then carried the party on back on the boat for the rest of the afternoon into the evening. Couldn't have been any better. Will definitely be booking 2022!

Couldn't fault our experience with Fancy Boats. Dan was the most welcoming & fun skipper, attentive to any of our needs. He took us on a fantastic route, experiencing the crystal clear waters of Formentera to a beautiful sunset vista to finish the day. Boat days really are the most memorable days- highly recommend with Fancy Boats- we will be booking again!

What an amazing experience we had with the lads at Fancy! The boat was amazing, well kept and clean, tunes were banging and by the time the sun was setting I was already sold on it being worth every penny. Truth be told, it was probably the first time we had a no drama day out with the wives in tow. Everyone left loved up and appreciative of being alive after what’s been a rascal year.

So much fun yesterday with Fancy Boats Ibiza!!!! Super professional from start to finish. The boat is beautiful and they have everything covered. Lots of drinks to even a ‘Fancy Box’ ( ask Captain Paul ha ha ha) We spent the day fully relaxing - coasting around, swimming in the sea ….it was just perfect and just what we needed! Luckily we were able the extend the trip whilst aboard and enjoyed sunset with fab tunes and some bubbles. So good we’ve already booked again.
Thankyou - a day we won’t forget for a long time xx

Just back from a fantastic day out on a super boat (Lady Thunder), booked via Fancy boats. From the minute I made contact the info provided was clear and I always felt they wanted us to have a great experience which is exactly we had. Sea bobs recommended and so glad we took them as they were super fun and the 2x 20 yr olds and 2x 18 yr olds loved them. The lunch recommendation of Juan Andrea in Formentera was another great experience and getting picked up by the restaurant dinghy from our boat was great fun.
All in all this was a fabulous day out for my family and i, made stress free by Nick at fancy boats. They will even sort transportation and we had our car service waiting as soon as we got off the boat.
Would highly recommend anyone looking for a memorable day out to contact Fancy boats as that is what they want for you too. 5 stars all the way from us.

We had a truly amazing day with Fancy Boats Ibiza on a beautiful Sunseeker Predator, skippered by Captain Paul.
She was impeccably presented, stocked with a huge amount of drinks and snacks plus paddle boards, snorkelling equipment and a serious sound system.
But equally the star of the show was Captain Paul, and what a character he was. Talk about going above and beyond, at one point on the day charter I realised my Apple Watch had fallen from my wrist and was now sitting at the bottom of the ocean some 4 meters below the anchored yacht during our leisurely lunch. Therefore presumed lost at sea. But with the help of my iPhone and it's handy device locator, we could see its approx location so after a 15 minute group search from the surface with a snorkel and mask and then a huge lung of air, Captain Paul spotted it and descended to the rocky seabed and retrieved the treasure. What a legend.
A highly memorable day and would thoroughly recommend.
