Ibiza (Eivissa) is one of the principal passenger ports of Spain's Balearic Islands. The port is managed by the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB), with modern cruise and scheduled passenger operations concentrated in the Botafoc area on the eastern side of the harbour.
Botafoc cruise area
APB's current port plan identifies Botafoc Berths 1, 2, 3 and 4, together with Ribera del Botafoc Quay and Botafoc Breakwater Quay. APB states that development of the commercial platform and new docks allows up to five large vessels to berth simultaneously.
Botafoc Breakwater
Historic APB technical characteristics publish the Botafoc Breakwater Quay at approximately 392.65m with 20m water depth. Later APB infrastructure documentation describes the breakwater structure itself as approximately 515m long, again with maximum water depth around 20m.
Those figures describe infrastructure, not unconditional ship limits. Deck7 therefore records the physical quay/depth data but leaves maximum vessel LOA and permitted ship draught unknown unless APB publishes a clean current operational limit.
Berth allocation
Ibiza is particularly useful for the Deck7 technical index because APB publishes a formal cruise-berth planning process. Cruise applications must provide the vessel's IMO number, length, beam, draught, passenger capacity and operational timings. The port then assesses berth allocation for the individual call.
Passenger facilities
The modern Botafoc commercial platform includes passenger-handling facilities and a maritime station. Cruise passengers can travel from Botafoc into Ibiza Town by transfer, taxi, coach or local transport.
Marine services
Pilotage and tug services operate within the APB port system, while fresh water and ship-waste services can be arranged. No sufficiently clear current authoritative confirmation of routine high-voltage cruise shore power or dedicated LNG cruise bunkering at the Botafoc cruise berths was identified, so Deck7 records both as unknown.
Ibiza Town
The port provides access to Ibiza Town and the UNESCO-listed Dalt Vila, as well as beaches, villages and attractions throughout the island. Ibiza Airport is only a short road transfer from the harbour.
