Where the money goes.

Four days, eighteen of us, three real invoices and two evenings of hospitality. Below: every euro the group spends, day by day, with the source for each number. We promised no surprises — here they aren’t.

1.300 €/ person

— The ask

One transfer. Plus-ones included. Refunded pro-rata after the trip.

Estimated spend lands at ~ 1.207 € per head. We’re asking 1.300 € to keep a clean ~ 1.700 € of headroom on top of a 20 % buffer. Whatever isn’t spent comes back to you.

Subtotal — real-spend estimate 18.094,00 €

Contingency · 20 % buffer (it’s Ibiza) 3.619,00 €

Total estimate per head ≈ 1.207 € 21.713,00 €

— The thinking

Why 1.300 €, and not 1.207 €.

The realistic estimate lands at ~ 1.207 € per head, with a 20 % contingency already baked in. We’re asking 1.300 € for two simple reasons.

One. Two of the line items are estimates (Es Molí de Sal lunch, wines at Casa Jondal). They could come back 30–80 € higher per head. Asking 1.300 € means we don’t need a follow-up request if they do.

Two. The 20 % buffer covers the predictable Ibiza overruns — tips that creep, an extra round, a swap from rosé to magnum, a better bottle on the boat. The additional ~ 1.700 € of headroom on top of the buffer covers the genuinely unpredictable.

Anything we don’t spend comes back to you. No kitty, no “next time” carry-over. After the trip we reconcile, and surplus is refunded pro-rata to whoever transferred.

— Mechanics

How it works.

Markus and Manu hold the float. One transfer in from each of you (1.300 € per person, plus-one included), one card to settle invoices over the four days, one reconciliation after.

Hard deadline: Monday 18 May. That’s five days before the trip, by which point the boats and Casa Jondal want their pre-payment cleared.

Within two weeks of getting home — by 10 June at the latest — we’ll send a one-page reconciliation: every line spent, every receipt, your share of any refund. No spreadsheet circulated mid-trip; no questions about who bought which bottle.

Bank details follow in a separate WhatsApp once Manu and I have aligned on the float account.

— Honest about

What is still moving.

These four numbers are estimates, not quotes. They’re the lines most likely to flex either way.

Es Molí de Sal lunch. 170 €/p is a placeholder. We’ll ring the restaurant for a group prix-fixe quote — it could land 30–50 € either way.
Casa Jondal drinks. The menu PDF only quotes food (225 €/p VAT incl.). We’ve estimated 100 €/p for paired wines. Bottles ordered freely could push that up.
Marine diesel. 1,80 €/L assumed; can swing 1,60–2,00 € on the day.
Vans. 2 × 8-seat vans only seat 16 of 18. We’ll likely upgrade one to a 12-seat mini-bus (≈ +50–80 €/leg). Built into the 20 % buffer.
