Event logistics in the Balearic and Canary Islands
Ibiza and Mallorca see strong demand for corporate events, banquets and festivals. We bring your equipment over from the mainland, deliver it at the agreed time and provide a set-up crew.
Does SAVA LOGISTIC take event equipment to the Balearic and Canary Islands?
Yes. Equipment travels from the Spanish mainland by road and ferry to Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca and Formentera, and also to the Canary Islands. On the island it is delivered to the venue at the time agreed in the quote, with loading and set-up crew if needed, and collected after the event. Every island job is quoted individually, with no published price; the Canary Islands also need customs formalities.

What we do on the islands
We take equipment from the Spanish mainland by road and ferry to Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca and Formentera, and also to the Canary Islands. On the island we deliver to the venue at the time set in the quote, with a loading and set-up crew if you need one, and collect when the event ends.
Every island job is quoted individually, because it depends on the sailing, the date and the volume: that is why we publish no price. Ask for a quote early, especially in high season.
The Canary Islands are outside the EU VAT area, so equipment going in and coming back needs customs formalities as well as transport. For equipment that goes and returns, an ATA Carnet can be used, requested by the owner from the Chamber of Commerce; declarations are lodged by a licensed customs agent.
What we don't do
- No published price: the islands are always quoted individually.
- We do not apply for the ATA Carnet: the owner of the equipment does.
How we work
At the agreed time
The delivery time or time window at the venue is set in the quote, and we plan the route to meet it.
Venue access
Before assigning a vehicle we ask about access: loading dock or not, narrow street, city centre, and the venue's own load-in hours.
Tail-lift, city vehicle or trailer
A truck with a tail-lift for venues without a dock, a small vehicle for city-centre access and a full trailer for large builds or long legs.
Loading and set-up crew
On request, crew to load, unload and set up at the venue the equipment we carry.
Collection after the event
We come back for the equipment when the event or the load-out ends, in the window we agreed.
Weekends and nights
We deliver and collect at weekends and at night, which is when events are built and struck.
Storage between events
Your equipment can stay in our Castellar del Vallès warehouse between one event and the next instead of going back to your depot.
Warehouse in Castellar del Vallès →Spain, Europe and the islands
We work across Spain and towards the countries on our European corridors. The Balearic and Canary Islands are always quoted individually.
Rules worth knowing
The sailing sets the plan
The ferry departure shapes the route: the delivery window on the island is agreed in the quote around the sailing.
Canary Islands: customs formalities
Equipment entering the Canary Islands and returning to the mainland needs customs declarations; the ATA Carnet is one route for temporary equipment.

Frequently asked questions
Do you go to Ibiza and Formentera?
Yes, and to Mallorca and Menorca too. The equipment crosses by ferry from the mainland and we deliver it to the venue at the agreed time.
How much does it cost to take event equipment to Mallorca?
It depends on the date, the sailing, the volume and whether you need a set-up crew. The islands are always quoted individually: fill in the form and we reply with the offer.
What paperwork does an event in the Canary Islands need?
The Canary Islands are outside the EU VAT area, so customs declarations are needed on the way out and on the way back. For temporary equipment an ATA Carnet can be used, requested by the owner from the Chamber of Commerce.
Do you provide a set-up crew on the island?
Yes, on request: loading, unloading and set-up crew at the venue.
