The region is relatively easy to sail by yacht. Therefore, even a beginner can cope. But in the area between Ibiza and Formentera, you need to be careful, because there are sharp cliffs and shoals. If you sail on safe and secure routes, there will be no problem. The shallow waters of La Bota locate about one nautical mile northwest of Isla es Vedra. This place is a known but not designated hazardous area. Care must take here — there is a large rock just below the surface.
