The Fjord 40: Where Scandinavian Design Meets Mediterranean Freedom
Chartering a yacht in Ibiza is not simply about getting from one cove to another—it’s about crafting an experience. And for travelers seeking sleek design, robust power, and open-air indulgence, the Fjord 40 delivers a striking blend of all three. 🛥️💨
With its angular silhouette and sun-drenched deck layout, the Fjord 40 has become a hallmark of modern yachting along the Balearic coast, offering both performance and poise to those who demand more than the ordinary. ☀️🌊
Engineered for the Mediterranean
Built in Holland by Fjord Boats and outfitted with dual Volvo Penta IPS engines (500 HP each), the Fjord 40 is more than a pretty face. With cruising speeds of 23 knots and the capability to push up to 35, it ensures smooth transit from Ibiza to Formentera—even on days when the sea stirs. Fuel consumption hovers around 100 liters per hour, a notable metric for those planning full-day itineraries. ⛽🚤
But its strength lies in its balance—between muscle and elegance, between function and leisure. The low-profile hull and straight-edged deck make it unmistakable from afar, a design that appeals to modern sensibilities without compromising comfort.
Space to Savor the Day
At 12 meters in length and 4 meters in beam, the Fjord 40 is surprisingly generous in its footprint. Capable of accommodating up to 11 people, it was built with day charters in mind. Whether hosting a private gathering, celebrating a milestone, or escaping for a peaceful coastal cruise, the layout is geared toward uninterrupted relaxation and conversation.
- 🌞 Dual Sunbathing Zones: A sunbed at the bow and a convertible stern seat offer guests multiple lounging configurations throughout the day.
- 🎧 Integrated Stereo System: Marine-grade speakers powered by an onboard stereo keep the mood lively, whether anchored or underway.
- 🛁 Long Swim Platform: Ideal for those who plan to take full advantage of the snorkeling gear included in the charter.
- 🌅 Stern Shade: Offers protection during midday cruising without disrupting visibility or airflow.
A Skippered Experience at Marina Botafoch
Charters depart from Ibiza’s renowned Marina Botafoch, a location known for its proximity to the island’s upscale nightlife and world-class dining. The charter package includes a professional skipper—allowing guests to relax without the burden of navigation—and soft drinks onboard, a welcome touch that elevates the experience. 🍹📍
This marina is not only a convenient launch point for trips to Formentera or the northern cliffs of Ibiza, but also a service hub for provisioning, fuel, and luxury concierge requests.
“The Fjord 40 is one of those rare boats that satisfies both the enthusiast and the aesthete. It’s agile, intuitive, and it looks exceptional whether you’re anchored at Ses Illetes or slicing through open water.”
– Senior Charter Consultant, Ibiza Yacht Services
Ideal for a Spectrum of Occasions
Thanks to its open layout and minimalist design, the Fjord 40 is well-suited to a variety of use cases:
- 🥂 Celebrations: Birthdays, anniversaries, and intimate wedding pre-events.
- 📸 Photoshoots: Its clean lines and natural light attract fashion and travel brands alike.
- 👨👩👧👦 Family Excursions: Stable hull and accessible layout make it kid-friendly and safe for all ages.

Rates and What’s Included
Charter rates include VAT (21%), the skipper, and a selection of soft drinks—but exclude fuel costs, which are calculated post-charter based on consumption. At 100 liters/hour, guests planning extensive routes should factor in this variable accordingly. 📊⚓
Reservations are highly recommended in the peak season (June to September), when the demand for contemporary open boats spikes significantly. Tailored charters can also include catering upgrades, champagne packages, or extended hours upon request.
The Fjord 40 is not just a boat—it’s a canvas for memorable Mediterranean moments. Whether docked at Es Palmador or slicing through turquoise channels, it delivers sophistication without pretense, performance without noise, and above all, the freedom to explore the Balearics on your terms. 🧭💙
