Boat Rental in Ibiza – Eiviboats

Boat rental has one variable no other rental business has to explain: the sea can cancel the day. Wind gets up, the forecast turns, the port authority closes the exit. It happens a handful of times each season and it is the single biggest reason people delay booking.

Which makes the cancellation policy one of the most commercially important pages on the site, and it is almost always buried in the terms and written defensively.

Turned around and stated plainly on the booking page, it does the opposite of what owners fear:

• Who decides, and when. If the call is made the evening before or at 8am on the day, say so. People need to know when they will find out, because they are planning a day around it.
• What happens then. Rescheduled, refunded, credited. One of the three, stated without conditions attached to it.
• What counts. Rough sea is not the same as light rain, and customers who expect a refund for cloud produce a bad conversation at the dock. Being specific protects both sides.

A business that says «if we cancel for weather you get your money back, decided by 8pm the night before» converts better than one that says nothing, because the alternative to booking is not booking a competitor — it is waiting until they arrive on the island, by which point the good boats are gone and the customer books whatever is left.

The second question that decides bookings is the licence one, and here the useful framing is not legal but practical: what can be taken out without a licence, how far it goes, whether it is enough to reach the beaches people have actually seen in photographs, and what a skipper costs if the answer is no. Someone comparing a small unlicensed boat against a skippered day out is making a real decision, and most sites answer only for the option they would rather sell.
