For Sale — Historic Charter Boat
Marco Polo
Ibiza
A 1912 two-masted vessel, rigged in the spirit of a pirate ship. Fifteen seasons chartering Ibiza and Formentera — now extensively refitted and ready for her next chapter.
About the vessel
A working tugboat, reborn as a two-master in 1950.
Originally built in 1912 as a tugboat, the Marco Polo was converted into a two-masted sailing vessel in 1950. She has spent the last fifteen years working the waters of Ibiza and Formentera as a charter boat for day trips — and can be relocated to the Canary Islands to benefit from a longer season.
Rigged in the style of a pirate ship, she offers a great adventure for families with children — treasure hunts, snorkeling stops, sunset sails — and makes a memorable venue for weddings and bachelorette parties.
A full business plan with profitability forecasts for various cruising areas and use cases is available to serious enquirers. The vessel is currently moored in Benicarló near Valencia and can be viewed at any time.
