License-free boats in Blanes: comparison and what to choose from October 2026
Until September 2026 we rented 0 license-free boats. Here is what they were like and what to choose now: a licensed boat with the titulín or a skippered trip.
Update: from 1 October 2026, no boat is rented without a qualification (RD 1188/2025).
