The Marco Polo

Magnificent sailing ships have dominated our oceans for centuries and continue to fascinate many people to this day. Today’s Marco Polo Ibiza was built in the Netherlands in 1953. With its two masts, the historic sailing ship consists of a proud 80 tonnes of steel.

In the 1990s, the sailing ship was transferred to Ibiza, where it was used as a charter ship. In 2006, the sailing ship was taken over by us and christened Marco Polo Ibiza.

As Ibiza used to be a pirate island, it was only natural to equip the historic sailing ship with 100 square metres of black sails and half a pirate’s head on the main sail. A half pirate’s head does not count as a pirate flag, because according to a law that still applies to some harbour towns in the southern Mediterranean, ships with pirate flags are not allowed to dock in all harbours.

Desde 2006, hemos estado navegando a toda velocidad a lo largo de las costas de Ibiza y Formentera cada año y nuestros huéspedes experimentan una sensación de pirata inolvidable y por lo general no quieren bajar del barco.
