The route from Blanes to Tossa de Mar by boat is one of the most impressive experiences on the Costa Brava. Vila Vella from the sea, inaccessible coves and crystal-clear waters. We tell you everything: prices, boats, route and tips.
Tossa de Mar is probably the most beautiful town on the Costa Brava. Its medieval walled enclosure, the Vila Vella, rises on a rocky promontory that juts into the sea, and the view from a boat is absolutely spectacular. If you're planning to visit Tossa de Mar by boat from Blanes, this guide explains everything you need to know. Can I reach Tossa de Mar with a license-free boat? The short answer is no. Tossa de Mar is about 12 km from Puerto de Blanes following the coast. License-free boats have a navigation limit of 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) from the coast, but that's not the main problem.

To reach Tossa you need a boat with license (PER or PNB) or our private excursion with captain .
