What types of luxury motor yachts can I charter in Spain?

There is a superb selection of luxury yachts for charter in Spain. Some of these include:

Displacement yachts for charter

Known for their stability and lower centre of gravity, a displacement yacht is the perfect vessel for long-distance cruising in various sea conditions on the Mediterranean Sea and causal cruising along the Spanish coast.

Planing yachts for charter

These yachts are designed for performance, agility, and responsiveness. They handle well at high speeds, offering a thrilling and dynamic experience for those on board a yacht charter in Spanish waters.

Semi-displacement yachts for charter

Semi-displacement yachts can operate efficiently at a range of speeds. At lower speeds, they behave similarly to displacement hulls, cutting through the water with less resistance, resulting in better fuel efficiency. As the speed increases, they transition to a partially planing mode, riding on the water surface rather than ploughing through it, allowing for increased speed without excessive power.

Trideck yachts for charter

Trideck yachts are known for their spaciousness, luxurious amenities, and the ability to provide various entertainment and relaxation options across multiple levels. These vessels cater to discerning clients seeking an elevated yachting experience in the Mediterranean.

Flybridge yachts for charter

The defining feature of a flybridge yacht is the raised deck above the main deck, often accessible via stairs or a ladder. This elevated space provides panoramic views of the surroundings, making it a popular area for socialising, dining, and enjoying the scenery.

Explorer yachts for charter

Explorer yachts have sturdy hulls and reinforced structures to withstand rough seas, ice conditions, and extended voyages. Their design emphasizes durability and safety for long-distance travel, making them ideal for those who wish to explore regions far from typical cruising grounds on a Spain luxury yacht charter.

Superyachts and mega yachts for charter

Superyachts and mega yachts are luxury vessels that exceed traditional yacht sizes, offering unparalleled comfort, amenities, and often extravagant features. They represent the pinnacle of luxury on the seas and are ideal for those who want to indulge in personalized service.

Multi-hull vessels for charter

The most common types of multi-hulls include catamarans and trimarans. Catamarans, in particular, are popular for chartering due to their stability, spaciousness, and comfort, making them an ideal choice for leisure cruising and vacations on the Spanish coast.

No matter what yacht type you seek, Moran Yacht & Ship experts can connect you with your ideal vessel. Contact our team or browse our selection of yachts for charter in Spain below and enjoy pure luxury in one of the world’s top charter destinations.

When is the best time to visit Spain on a yacht charter?

The best time to visit Spain on a yacht charter is during the summer months between June and August, although this can depend on your preferences and the specific regions you plan to explore along the Spanish coastline.

Spring (April to May) 

This period offers pleasant weather with mild temperatures, making it ideal for exploring Spain’s southern and eastern coasts. Crowds are fewer compared to the summer months.

Summer (June to August)

Summer is the high season for tourism along the Spanish coast. The weather is warm and perfect for beach activities and cruising. The Balearic Islands, including Mallorca and Ibiza, are popular destinations during this time.

Fall/Autumn (September to October)

Like spring, autumn offers mild temperatures, fewer crowds, and a more relaxed atmosphere. It’s a great time to cruise along the Spanish coastlines and explore historical towns.

Winter (November to March)

While the weather can be cooler, especially in northern Spain, the southern coast tends to be milder. Winter can be a quieter time for yacht charters, but it’s suitable for exploring cities and cultural sites.

How much does it cost to rent a Spanish luxury yacht?

The price of a yacht rental in Spain depends on the yacht’s size, the planned route, and the duration of the charter. Anticipate a minimum cost of US$200,000 per week for a luxury boat rental in Spanish waters, while the most exceptional superyachts can exceed a million dollars per week. Moran Yacht & Ship specializes in crafting outstanding water experiences aboard some of the world’s most exceptional yachts. Our selection of charter yachts showcases vessels built by renowned shipbuilders such as Lürssen, Feadship, Amels, Nobiskrug, and Oceanco. Get in touch with our team today for more information.

What is the Advanced Provisioning Allowance, or APA?

The Advanced Provisioning Allowance, or APA, is designed to cover non-fixed costs, such as fuel, berthing costs, and food and drinks. Your luxury yacht broker will provide an estimated APA based on your needs. The APA is paid before the charter, and the captain will use the funds to cover your day-to-day costs. Any funds left at the end of the charter will be immediately refunded to you, along with a full breakdown of all expenses. During your yacht charter experience, you are free to ask the captain for details of the APA, including what has been used and what remains. The APA typically costs around 10% of the base charter rate.

What amenities can I expect on a luxury yacht?

The type of amenities you can expect on a luxury yacht will depend on the size of the vessel, with larger yachts able to accommodate a larger number of amenities. Moran Yacht & Ship has access to a superb selection of Spanish motor yachts for charter, including the world’s largest vessels. Charterers can expect luxurious cabins with ensuite bathrooms, plush bedding, and stylish interiors that rival high-end hotel suites. Many luxury yachts also have professional chefs on board who craft exquisite meals tailored to guests’ preferences and dining areas that include formal dining spaces and al fresco options. Expansive decks featuring lounging areas, sun pads, Jacuzzis, and outdoor dining setups allow guests to enjoy the sea breeze and stunning views. Some of the biggest vessels ​​are equipped with various water toys for entertainment, such as jet skis, paddleboards, kayaks, wakeboards, snorkeling gear, and sometimes even a water slide.

How many guests can I take on my yacht charter?

Most yachts for charter can accommodate a maximum of 12 guests while cruising. However, some charter vessels can accommodate a larger number of guests. A luxury charter brokerage, like Moran Yacht & Ship, can secure a vessel based on your needs. Contact our team today.

What availability is there for yacht charters in Spain?

While there is a superb selection of luxury Spanish motor yachts for charter, the best vessels are in high demand.

How is the weather in Spain?

Spain is a favoured sailing destination due to its Mediterranean climate, which offers a range of temperatures throughout the year. Spain is a geographically diverse country, so sailors are able to choose from cooler climates in the summer and warmer hotspots in the winter. During summer, trade winds tend to be stronger during the hottest parts of the day.

However, in certain areas, such as wind acceleration zones (WAZ), the wind speed can exceed the average of 30 mph. The north of Spain is particularly prone to strong winds, especially towards the French Riviera. It is essential to monitor the weather forecast regularly and stay informed, as unexpected changes in weather can occur despite the generally calm and Mediterranean conditions for sailing in Spain.

Which are the most popular ports in Spain?

While the Mediterranean coast is the most popular area for Spain boat rentals, the north offers serene sailing and tranquil luxury. In northwestern Spain, particularly in Asturias and Galicia, there are uncrowded coves and sandy beaches with lush green mountain views.

Summer is the best time to experience warmer shores and gentler winds, and cruising along the Rias of Galicia is stunning, with plenty of inlets and picturesque towns offering fresh seafood. Explore all the different destinations available for boat trips in Spain!

There are countless destinations to choose from for your boat charter in Spain. Why not explore the enchanting coastal region of Galicia and sail down to Portugal for the ultimate cultural experience?

It's also possible to venture into Portugal from here, to the southern Algarve region where you can explore Faro, Albufeira, and Lagos.

How to get to Spain?

Spain is well-connected to the rest of the world through its extensive network of airports. With 59 international airports throughout the country, travellers have plenty of options to choose from when flying in for a sailing charter. Depending on the location of your charter, there are several main international airports that are worth mentioning.

The traditional sailing boat, with its singular hull, evokes feelings of classic maritime adventures. It offers a deep connection to the water, with its keel cutting gracefully through the waves. This design provides an intimate experience, perfect for those who wish to feel every nuance of the sea. Moreover, its narrower profile allows for access to some of Spain’s more secluded harbors and coves. Picture yourself navigating the tight inlets of Costa Brava or mooring in a hidden bay off the coast of Andalusia. For purists who savor the age-old rhythm of wind and wave, a sailing boat offers an unmatched experience.

On the other hand, the catamaran, with its twin hulls, brings modern stability and space to the forefront. Its design ensures a smoother ride, making it ideal for those new to sailing or families with children. The expansive deck space provides ample room for sunbathing, dancing, or dining under the Spanish stars. Catamarans often boast shallower drafts, allowing sailors to get close to beaches and anchor in shallow bays, perfect for a quick swim to shore in places like the Balearic Islands. For those who prioritize comfort, space, and a panoramic view of Spain’s stunning coastlines, the catamaran emerges as the vessel of choice.

Yet, regardless of your choice, Yachting.Rent guarantees a vessel that merges top-tier functionality with luxury. Our expertise ensures you’re matched with the perfect boat for your Spanish adventure, whether you’re tracing the footsteps of ancient mariners or charting a contemporary course through Spain’s blue. Set sail with us and craft a journey where the vessel is as memorable as the destination. Spain awaits, and the choice is yours.

Yacht Charter in Spain

Rent a boat on the spanish islands, barcelona, denia or vigo from 900.00 €., discover 14 harbors - boat rental spain.

General Info Spain’s appeal is a mixture of the charm of the rolling hills covered in sparse vegetation and the beauty of the deep blue of the Mediterranean that turns into lovely azure as soon as it meets the shore. That’s why most of the real touristic potential is focused along the shoreline, be it in cities such as Barcelona and Valencia or in large areas such as the Costa del Sol. A developed country from a touristic point of view with a great climate that extends the visiting period well into October when the sailing season is finished in other places, Spain is also a fascinating culture. It retains much of its Moorish heritage which can still be seen everywhere in the country today from architecture to gastronomy. The Balearic Islands are, in fact, the beating heart of yacht charter holidays in Spain. The islands of Mallorca, Ibiza and the smaller Formentera manage to attract ever larger number of tourists, many of whom actually choose to stay. It’s no wonder that Mallorca hosts large German and British communities in its coastal towns that developed from sleepy fishing villages. The Canary Islands are also important destinations for boat rental since their remote position far out to the West of the African continent makes them the starting point for many Atlantic crossings. When you’ve finished exploring the beautiful shores of the Spanish peninsula from aboard a chartered yacht, you can always indulge in their interesting local cuisine which is a mixture of European and African recipes, hailing back from the Moorish occupation. You won’t want to leave until sampling a tasty paella made with fresh sea food or experiment with the endless variety of tapas, the locals’ version of the sandwich. This should all be washed down with some local wine or with the ubiquitous “cerveza”, or beer as it’s more commonly known. Law & Order The Balearic Islands are definitely the place to start your Spanish yacht charter experience. Mallorca in particular enjoys an increasing notoriety thanks to its climate, infrastructure and natural potential. For those of you that are considering a sailing holiday in Spain, there are a few legal issues to remember. In Spain, all people wishing to skipper a boat with an engine power over 10Kw need a sailing license. If you have a sailing license, you’ll need to present it to the local Maritime Authority along with proof of your sailing expertise that will allow you to charter a yacht in Spain. For those skippers that sail their own boats, an additional document is required in the form of proof of insurance. For yacht charters, this insurance is made on the spot when you rent the boat.

Yacht Charter Spain

Why go sailing in spain.

Charter a yacht in Spain and find out why is this one of the most desirable sailing destinations in the world. It is extremely difficult to beat the diversity of Spain, a relatively small country which is surrounded by one ocean, two different seas and a vast number of diverse cultures, climates, and landscapes. If you’re looking for hot summers, mild winters and rough ocean sailing conditions - Spain is the place to go. However, if you’d like to spend a mild and chilly summer on an atoll, Spain is the best destination for it as well. Even if you want a tropical feel on your sailing holiday, a yacht charter in Spain can offer it too. 

Yacht charter in the Mediterranean Coast of Spain offers the opportunity for sailors to discover the Spanish culture at its best, through regions such as Valencia , Catalonia, and the Balearic Islands – Mallorca , Menorca , Ibiza & Formentera. Hop aboard your luxury yacht charter and spend some time in the picturesque and bohemian-like cities and towns of the area: Sitges, Cadaqués, Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, Peñíscola etc.  

Charter a yacht in the unspoilt northern coast of Spain , well known for the best food offer in southern Europe. Its intact green coastal landscapes of Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, and the Basque Country can only be matched with the landscapes of much colder places like Ireland and Scotland.  

The Canary Islands , archipelago of volcanic origins in the Atlantic are the place to go if you want to run away on your rental yacht from the cold European winter without leaving Europe.

Choose Your Perfect Boat in Spain

Sailing Conditions in Spain

You can charter a yacht in Spain throughout the entire year . Both spring and autumn are great for sailing the Mediterranean - the weather is great, but you also have the advantage of escaping the big crowds that come to the area as soon as the summer starts. However, summer is the most popular time for chartering a yacht on the Balearic Islands. As well, a right time for yachting in the northern coast of Spain. Be careful, though, the Atlantic Ocean can get a bit rough at any time of the year and you might need to look for a haven in July or August as well.

If you want to rent a yacht in Spain during the winter, between November and February, the Canary Islands are the perfect choice. The climate is mainly sunny and warm , with temperatures very rarely going below  18°C all year round. Besides that, the sea temperature is constantly close to 22°C. There are three main types of climates on the Spanish Coast. Mediterranean Coast climate is characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, dry winters. The average temperature in the winter ranges between 5°C and 15°C, while going up to 26°C and 35°C during the yacht charter season. The sea temperature amounts to around 14°C in February and 25°C in August. Northern Spain climate is colder and much rainier, although the summer tends to be mild and sunny. The average temperature in the winter ranges between 5°C and 10°C, and between 15°C and 23°C during the summer, so keep that in mind if you want to charter a boat in Costa Verde. The sea temperature is around 10°C in February and 22°C in August.

Winds and tides.

The Spanish weather is fairly stable, but it can also be prone to winds , creating the perfect sailing conditions for those who want to embark on an adventure by boat. Borrasca is a thunderstorm or violent squall, especially in the Mediterranean and the Northern Part of Spain. It usually comes from NW, W. Chubasco is a rapid and strong downpour, it starts up very quickly but stops in a matter of minutes. It is quite common throughout the country. It doesn’t come from a specific direction.

Levante is a hot wind from E, NE, that can be especially strong in the Strait of Gibraltar, where the local conditions increase its power and speed. Another SW wind you will feel on your charter yacht in Spain is lebeche . This one coming from the Sahara, bringing elevated temperatures and sand from the desert. In the Canary Islands area, it is also known as calima . Galerna is stormy, hot, and very humid NW wind that arises unexpectedly on the north coast, especially during the summer season. Wind gusts can go up to more than 100 kilometres per hour. Tramontana originated in the French Central Massif and the Pyrenees, it is a N wind that blows strongly over the Balearic Islands and some parts of Catalonia. Sometimes it can reach speeds close to two hundred kilometres per hour. 

Normally, the heights of waves in the Mediterranean range between 0.5 and 1.5 m , and very rarely exceed 5 m. However, the Atlantic and Cantabria coasts are a whole different thing. There, waves can easily go beyond 10 meters during the winter. Actually, the biggest wave recorded in Spain was appeared near to Galicia and was 27,81 meters high.  

On the Mediterranean Coast, there are practically no tides . The Cantabrian Coast of Spain has a tidal range of 1 meter . On the Atlantic Coast (Galicia, Canary Islands) tidal range can go up to 2,8 m . 

You will hardly notice any sea currents on your charter yacht in the Mediterranean, but this changes on the Atlantic side of the Spanish coast. The Galician coast is under the influence of cold currents all year long, but the more east you sail, the warmer water you will get.

Sail the stunning Balearic Islands , visit Mallorca , and explore its rich history, amazing medieval architecture, eat in top rated restaurants and enjoy the amazing nightlife.

The hottest averages are in the summer with 28°C in July and August however, it’s still warm enough to swim in the winter! That’s right, Malaga is warm and sunny year-round and if you want to avoid crowds we recommend visiting in May or September. It will be slightly cooler at around 23°C, but you can still go for a swim and you’ll get better deals on Malaga yacht rentals.

What can I see and do while on a yacht charter in Malaga?

There’s a reason that Malaga is one of Spain’s most sought-after sailing destinations—and that’s because there’s so much to see and do! Whether you want a lazy beach day or a cultural excursion, you’ll find what you’re looking for in this spectacular city. Here are some of our favourite activities to add to your Malaga sailing itinerary.

• Visit the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro castles: These two ancient fortresses sit atop a hill overlooking Malaga city and offer stunning views of the surrounding area. The Alcazaba was built by the Moorish rulers of Spain in the 11th century, while the Gibralfaro was added later on by the Christian king, Alfonso XI. Visitors can explore the remains of both castles, including their extensive gardens and ramparts.
• Stroll around El Palo: This traditional fishing village is located just east of Malaga city and makes for a pleasant day trip. Wander around the village's narrow streets, stop for some seafood at one of its many restaurants and enjoy views of the Mediterranean Sea.
• Sail to Isla de Graciosa: Just off the coast of Malaga is Isla de Graciosa, a small island that makes for a great day trip. While on the island you can enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of its sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters.
• Visit La Concepción botanical gardens: Located just outside of Malaga city centre, these gardens are home to over 5,000 species of plants and flowers from all over the world.
• Explore Malaga's Old Town: The Old Town is one of the best places to see in Malaga if you're interested in its history and culture. Walk around its winding streets, visit its museums and churches and soak up views of its beautiful architecture.
• Take a day trip: Head to nearby destinations like Granada, Seville and Ronda. If you have time, you can even visit Gilbraltar!
• Soak up the sun on one of Malaga’s beaches: Playa de la Malagueta is a popular spot for sunbathing and swimming, while El Palo is ideal for windsurfing and kitesurfing. Other iconic beaches include Playa de los Locos, El Chorro and La Barrosa.
• Go scuba diving: Try your luck at El Chorrillo de Marbella. This incredible dive spot is full of vibrant colours from the surrounding coral reef and is home to an abundance of unique species such as moray eels, cuttlefish, crabs and barracudas. For more experienced divers, head over to Cala de Mijas and explore its many underwater caves and tunnels. This spectacular spot offers a great opportunity to observe all kinds of marine life up close, including sea bass, moray eels, octopus and much more. You'll even find some amazing wrecks from World War II!

Should I have a skipper on board my private yacht rental in Malaga?

Our large fleet of yacht rentals in Malaga includes both skippered vessels as well as those without a skipper, so you can find the perfect one for your boat trip. Even if you have a licence to sail we always recommend a skippered vessel for a more relaxing and worry-free holiday. Skippers will handle all of the logistics like docking, anchoring and sailing the vessel so you can spend more time with the ones that you love. The best part about having a skipper present is the fact that they are usually locals, so they can give you recommendations and help you see everything on your travel itinerary, and more.

So, what are you waiting for? Sail in the capable hands of a skipper and allow them to be your private tour guide around Malaga.

What type of boat should I choose for my Malaga yacht rental?

While browsing the Scansail website, you might be wondering which type of boat you should choose for your yacht rental in Malaga, and the answer to this will depend on the amount of time you plan to be out on the water. For a shorter holiday of less than a week, you shouldn’t need more than a RIB or a motorboat, which are usually chartered by the day. A longer holiday of a week or more will require more amenities and accommodations, such as a kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. Catamarans and yachts are spacious vessels usually rented by the week, perfect for a longer holiday with family and friends. For people who like sailing for sport, we’d recommend a sailboat. If you’re a novice sailor but still want an authentic sailing experience, a skippered sailboat is a fantastic option.

Find the perfect vessel for your sailing trip in Malaga with Scansail, and have the holiday of a lifetime.

Ibiza, famous for being a party island destination, is known worldwide for its legendary nightlife. It is home to the world's largest nightclub, the Privilege Ibiza. But aside from its image as Spain's party capital, the island also boasts deserted beaches, calm anchorages, and crystal blue waters perfect for water sports activities. Formentera and Menorca's islands offer a more peaceful atmosphere, fantastic beach clubs, excellent restaurants, and gorgeous sandy beaches.

In Costa Del Sol, you will find Sotogrande, also offering excellent sailing conditions, designer shops, and of course, an epic nightlife.

It is located approximately 70 miles off the coast of Morocco and features seven main islands, all within a day's cruise. The island group is Spanish territory, and there are excellent marinas, thousands of beaches, and incredible natural scenery.

After seven days cruising the Mediterranean, get to drop anchor in this marina and pamper yourself with the 5-star spa only a few steps away from your boat. And with the city only a stroll away, get to explore the Gothic quarter nearby, and indulge yourself in world-class cuisine from any of the ten Michelin-starred restaurants located all over Barcelona.

Known as among the most expensive marinas in the world is the Ibiza Magna. With a prime location, this exclusive marina can host boats up to 60 meters in length. Found on the foot of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Dalt Vila, right in the center of the city, its luxury amenities and proximity to the best happenings and best spots on the island make it a true luxury destination. And of course, Costa Del Sol's Puerto Banus is not to be missed. Dubbed as the most expensive marina in Europe, it is one of the world's best known nautical destinations. Located on the suburb of Marbella in Nueva Andalucia, luxury yacht charters will find excellent facilities, shops, and plenty of exciting adventures waiting for you to discover onshore.

10 Unique Things to Do in Barcelona

Barcelona, the jewel of the Mediterranean, is a city that embodies the spirit of Spain…

• 2 years ago

Yacht rental in Barcelona

Barcelona is the capital of the province of Catalonia. It is located in a uniquely picturesque area south of the Pyrenees, on the border with France, next to the Mediterranean coast. Tourists from all over the world come here to spend at least a few days on an unforgettable trip. Renting a boat in Barcelona is one of the most effective ways to discover the Costa del Maresme or Costa Brava in all its splendor, get great pleasure and enjoy your holiday in this unusual and original place.

The best time to travel starts in the first days of May and ends in the last days of October. This is the most favorable season when the sun shines around the clock in Barcelona and there is almost no rain. The only thing that can overshadow the rental of a boat in Barcelona during the high season is the huge crowds of tourists. They are everywhere — on the streets of the city, on the beaches, in restaurants, in amusement parks…

However, there is a proven way to relax in privacy, and avoid crowds — hiring a boat. It will allow you to visit incredibly beautiful deserted bays and beaches, which can only be reached by water. This is only possible if you book the boat in advance. If you take care of this in advance, even before the start of the high season, you can choose a boat at a lower price from a large range of unoccupied options for the desired date and time.

Boat rental services in Barcelona by the hour will be provided by our company, and our experienced captains with their friendly team will do their best to make your vacation unforgettable. They are well-versed in the local area, so they will select the best routes, where nature is of indescribable beauty. Fuel is included in the cost of the cruise.

Do you want to book a boat for rent near you — from the place where you stayed in a hotel or rented temporary accommodation? We will select for you the best option from the many different yachts that are waiting for their passengers (from 2 to 250 people) in popular ports and marinas throughout Barcelona:

• Port Olympic
• Reil Club Maritim de Barcelona
• Marina Port Vell
• Real Club Nautico de Barcelona
• Marina Vela Barcelona

Boat rental in Barcelona is paid by the hour. The most popular trip duration is 2-3 hours, but if you wish, you can hire a boat for the whole day and spend it on board from the first minutes of sunrise to sunset.

What events are suitable for renting a boat?

Traditionally, a boat for rent in Barcelona is rented out for any private, corporate, and business events. These services are in demand not only among tourists but also among the local population:

• romantic walks along the sea coast with a photo session
• family celebrations
• friendly parties
• stag parties
• bachelorette parties
• celebrating birthdays and anniversaries
• original dates, sunrises-sunsets
• wedding banquets
• incendiary parties on board
• intimate candlelit dinners
• business meetings and corporate parties
• team building and training
• wedding photo shoots
• yachting master classes
• holding corporate regattas

Boat rental

If you hire a boat for 2 hours, you will have time to enjoy the views of the streets of Barcelona and its monuments, sailing through the oldest quarter, Barceloneta, and plunge into the Spanish sea.

A 4-hour boat rental in Barcelona will provide more opportunities — this will allow you to visit the famous Montgat beach, and swim in clean and clear water.

For an 8-hour boat trip, we recommend visiting the most outstanding and colorful places near Barcelona, such as::

• Arenys de Mar
• Castelldefels
• Premia de Mar

During the break between sightseeing of the beauty of the port, you can taste specialties of Spanish cuisine in restaurants to continue this wonderful walk with renewed vigor. The length of its route and the distance from the coast depends on the type of boat. If you want to take a look at the world-famous resort of Sitges at least with one eye or walk along the chic Mediterranean coast of the Costa Brava, after visiting the progressive Blanes, hire a yacht or a motorboat — and you won’t regret it.

What services does our company offer besides yacht rentals?

To make your vacation on a yacht bright, eventful, and unforgettable, in addition to renting boats in Barcelona , our company provides the following services:

• catering — booking food on board
• photo and video filming
• organization of entertainment on the water on a banana, wakeboard, flyboard, jet ski
• decorating both the yacht itself and the deck with flowers, balls, and inscriptions, as well as its interior spaces — kitchens, cabins, halls
• guided tours of the outstanding historical sites of Barcelona
• host of events
• DJ accompaniment of discos
• invitation of popular artists for live performances
• gift certificates for walks along the coast

Rent a boat

The ideal value, and money. The cost of their rental varies depending on the size of the yachts, the year of manufacture, and the popularity of the brand manufacturer, and is 100-350 euros/1 hour. The maximum capacity is up to 11 passengers.

Motor yachts

The rental price — 450-1200 euros/1 hour — is higher than other types of yachts. This is due to higher fuel consumption. However, this price justifies itself:

• speed of movement, due to which visiting many places takes very little time;

Spain is a country with a rich and vibrant culture and history. Different empires ruled over the Iberian peninsula during different periods in time and each brought their own unique culture to shape the Spain we know today. There are plenty of historical sites you can visit all over the country. If you want to see some buildings that were built during more recent times, you should definitely visit La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona which was built in the late 19th century and Casa Batlló which is another of Gaudi’s architectural masterpieces.

Sailing conditions in Spain

The marine weather can vary depending on the time of year and the location you choose to visit in Spain.

As a whole, summers in Spain offer calm conditions though occasional thunderstorms and heavy downpours in the hottest months in July and August can occur.

The east coast of Spain is the perfect place for novice sailors or those seeking a more relaxing cruise as this area is more secluded and therefore protected from the stronger winds and rougher seas of the Atlantic.

While wind speeds tend to be low with an average of 6 knots, it also highly depends on the region you’re sailing in. Winds generally peak at 10 knots, especially when there are sudden gusts that you need to take into consideration. Winds are generally much stronger on the Atlantic coast than on the Mediterranean coast. It is also quite common for wind speeds to fluctuate throughout the day.

Swell is another thing you need to consider when planning a sailing holiday in Spain. The height of the swell is around 0.5 to 1 on an average day and the period varies. It can be anything from 2 to 3 seconds to well over 10.

Temperatures in mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands peak in August while the highest temperatures in the Canary Islands are reached in September and October.

Pros of renting a catamaran in Spain

Rent a catamaran in Spain for the most flexibility. You can either sail with the winds when they are strong enough or drive with the engine should the wind suddenly stop blowing. This doesn’t just give you a lot of flexibility, it also means that you won’t suddenly get stuck in the middle of the sea.

A catamaran rental in Spain is perfect for you if you want to explore the most beautiful beaches Spain has to offer. Different regions in Spain showcase different kinds of landscapes and give them their own unique appearance. As catamarans have a shallow draft, you can easily access all the stunning beaches you only know from photographs right now.

People who easily get seasick will also benefit from this.

Cons of renting a catamaran in Spain

One of the downsides of a catamaran rental in Spain is the size of a catamaran. While you might enjoy the extra space and comfort you get from staying on a boat this big, you will also experience the difficulties that come with it when trying to find a spot for mooring. It might be difficult to navigate your catamaran to its designated spot and in many marinas you have to pay extra for bigger boats.

Sailboat charter in Spain

Rent a motorboat in Spain

Pros of renting a motorboat in Spain

A motorboat rental in Spain is great, because you get to explore all the stunning beaches, magnificent coves and other hidden natural wonders along the Spanish coast. Motorboats have a shallow draft, so you can sail super close to the shore.

Cons of renting a motorboat in Spain

One of the downsides of renting a motorboat in Spain is the fact that they solely run on fuel. This makes motorboats one of the most expensive options when it comes to a boat holiday in Spain .

Motorboat rental in Spain

Charter a luxury yacht in Spain

Places like Marbella, Mallorca and Ibiza naturally scream luxury vacation. While it might be unattainable for most to own a luxury yacht, renting one might be an option. While there are luxury yachts in Spain that you need to spend a couple of thousand euros on, there are also more affordable luxury yachts available to charter.

You will be happy to hear that most luxury yachts will come with a fully staffed crew, meaning that you really don’t have to lift a finger while on vacation. You will have someone on board who is going to navigate the boat and someone who is there to prepare all your meals and whatever else you need.

What kind of boat licence do you need when renting a boat in Spain?

Especially novice sailors will be happy to hear that you don’t need a boat licence in Spain to operate motorboats that are shorter than 5 metres or sailboats that are shorter than 6 metres. This is only possible for boats that cannot go faster than 15 hp. This might sound like a dream come true, but keep in mind that you can only operate these kinds of boats during the day when there is light. You are not allowed to operate any boat without a licence in Spain as soon as darkness falls.

The Licencia de Navegación allows you to operate boats that are no longer than 6 metres. However, keep in mind that you can only sail up to two miles away from the coast with this certification.
