    Why it's perfect for families

    An experience they'll always remember

    Renting a boat as a family is much more than a trip on the sea. It's discovering hidden coves together, watching fish through the water, picnicking while floating in turquoise water and creating memories that children will talk about for years. On the Costa Brava, the coastline between Blanes and Lloret offers the perfect setting.

    No stress, no hassle

    No prior experience or boating licence needed. We teach you everything in 15 minutes. The boats are stable, easy to handle and speed-limited. Fuel is included, so no price surprises. All you need to bring is the desire to have a great time.

    Calm coves for children

    We recommend sheltered coves with shallow, wave-free water. Cala Sant Francesc has a sandy bottom ideal for children to swim safely. Cala Bona offers crystal-clear water perfect for first snorkelling experiences.

    Total flexibility

    You set the pace. If the children want to stay longer in a cove, no problem. If someone gets tired, we head back. No fixed schedules, no mandatory routes. It's your boat, your plan, your day at sea.

    Our licence-free boats have fibreglass hulls with excellent stability. Low-power engine, controlled speed, and easy handling even for beginners.
