License-free boating in Formentera: the local waters

Few places reward going slowly quite like Formentera. From La Savina harbour, Ses Illetes beach and the islet of Espalmador lie under two miles away: a turquoise lagoon, knee-deep water and some of the easiest sand anchoring anywhere. In settled weather, some operators also allow Cala Saona on the west coast, a lovely late-afternoon spot.

The permitted area is usually the La Savina – Illetes – Espalmador triangle, which gets busy in summer: leave early to claim a patch of sand for your anchor and steer well clear of the dark posidonia meadows. Local regulations differ from the French framework you may know; every listing states clearly whether the boat is available licence-free, with the operator's briefing included before you cast off.
