Rent the Fjord 53XL in Ibiza – Scandinavian Craftsmanship Meets the Mediterranean
For those who refuse to compromise, the Fjord 53XL represents the pinnacle of open boat day charter in Ibiza. This is a vessel that turns heads in every marina it enters — a 16.7-metre Norwegian-designed thoroughbred that combines breathtaking aesthetics with serious ocean-going capability. If you’re planning a special occasion on the water this summer, the Fjord 53XL sets a standard that very few boats in the Balearics can match.
About the Fjord 53XL
Built by Norwegian manufacturer Fjord, the 53XL is the flagship of a brand long associated with bold design and uncompromising build quality. At 16.7 metres in length with a 4.30-metre beam, it carries up to 12 guests across its sweeping open deck with remarkable ease. Two cabins below deck provide a comfortable retreat when the sun is at its strongest, and the overall layout — clean, generous, and thoughtfully designed — makes it as suited to a relaxed day at anchor as it is to a long run along the coast.
The 53XL is not a boat that tries to be all things to all people. It is unapologetically a luxury open boat, built for those who want the best.

A Note on Fuel Costs
At approximately 200 litres per hour, fuel is the main variable cost to factor into your budget. A typical day charter in Ibiza — departing from the base port, cruising to Formentera, anchoring at two or three spots, and returning in the evening — generally involves four to six hours of engine use. At current fuel prices in Ibiza marinas, budget somewhere between 600 € and 1,000 € for fuel depending on your itinerary. Your crew will be able to give you a precise estimate once your route is planned.
Why Choose the Fjord 53XL?
There are larger yachts available in Ibiza, and there are cheaper boats. But the Fjord 53XL occupies a very particular sweet spot: it is the most impressive open boat you can charter on the island without crossing into superyacht territory, and it delivers an experience that neither a smaller RIB nor a traditional sailing yacht can replicate.
The design is the first thing that strikes you. Fjord’s signature look — long, low, and dramatically raked — is instantly recognisable and consistently one of the most admired silhouettes on the Mediterranean. On the water, the visual impact is considerable.
The Volvo Penta IPS 800 pod drives give the 53XL a performance profile that belies its size. IPS technology — pods that sit outside the hull and push the boat rather than conventional inboard shafts — delivers a noticeably smoother, quieter ride at cruising speed, along with exceptional manoeuvrability. At anchor in a busy bay, the ease of positioning is immediately apparent.
The deck space is simply generous. With 12 guests on board, the 53XL never feels crowded. There is room to sunbathe, to eat, to move around freely — a quality that becomes increasingly important as the day wears on and groups naturally spread out across the boat.
The full crew is included as standard, meaning your group arrives, steps aboard, and the day begins. Navigation, anchoring, provisioning — it is all handled. You focus entirely on enjoying Ibiza from the water.
Who Is the Fjord 53XL For?
This is the charter for milestone moments. A significant birthday, an anniversary, a corporate day that needs to impress, or simply a group of close friends who want to experience Ibiza at its absolute finest. Split between 10–12 people in mid-season, the base charter cost works out at just over 400 € per person before fuel — for a full day aboard one of the most beautiful boats on the island.
For groups accustomed to high-end travel, the Fjord 53XL is the natural choice. For those who want to mark an occasion with something truly memorable, it is hard to imagine a better way to spend a summer’s day.
Book Your Charter
