Boat Rental in Tossa de Mar: with the Licencia de Navegación or Skippered Excursion
Sail past the Vila Vella, the only medieval castle over the sea in the western Mediterranean. From Blanes harbour, 30-45 minutes with the Licencia de Navegación (LN) or the Private Excursion with Captain.
Tossa is not reachable with a license-free boat.
License-free boats (2 miles, 5 knots, 15 HP) reach up to Fenals Beach (south of Lloret), 4 miles before Tossa. To reach Tossa from Blanes you need (1) self-drive rental with the Licencia de Navegación (fixed packages 2 h / 4 h / 8 h from 160 € with Mingolla Brava 19 or Trimarchi 57S, VAT, mooring, cleaning and insurance included; fuel and 500 € deposit separate), or (2) the Private Excursion with Captain (Pacific Craft 625 + skipper, 4 h maximum, up to 6 pax, from 380 € with VAT, skipper, mooring, cleaning and insurance included; fuel separate). The third alternative is to drive to Tossa (20 min from Lloret) and rent a license-free boat locally there.
Why Visit Tossa de Mar by Boat?
The Jewel of the Costa Brava
Tossa de Mar is considered one of the most beautiful towns in Spain. Its famous Vila Vella (old town), a 12th-century fortified settlement, is unique on the entire Costa Brava and offers spectacular views from the sea.
Historic Heritage
The medieval walls surrounding the Vila Vella are a National Historic-Artistic Monument. From the sea you will have the best view of this 13th-century fortress that once protected the coast from pirates and invaders.
Paradise Coves
Tossa boasts some of the most unspoilt and crystal-clear coves on the Costa Brava: Cala Pola, Cala Bona and Cala d'es Codolar. Many are only accessible from the sea, perfect for anchoring and enjoying in private.
Panoramic Sailing
30-45 min sailing along the coast will reveal cliffs, secret coves, and the silhouette of Tossa growing on the horizon until its full majesty is unveiled. An unforgettable experience.
