Question 1

What time should I leave for a sunset boat trip?

Accepted Answer

We recommend leaving 2 hours before sunset. That gives you time to cruise along the coast, find a lovely cove and get settled before golden hour. In summer (June-July), head out around 7:00-7:30 PM. In spring and autumn, around 5:30-6:30 PM. Our team at the port will let you know the exact sunset time on the day of your trip.

Question 2

Do I need a boat licence for a sunset trip?

Accepted Answer

No. Our licence-free boats are perfect for sunset trips. You just need to be over 18. We give you a 15-minute safety briefing before you head out. The boats are easy to handle and have a maximum speed that makes them very safe for sunset cruising.

Question 3

Is it safe to be on the boat at sunset and return in low light?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All our boats are equipped with navigation lights for use after dark. Blanes port is well lit and easy to enter at dusk. We recommend returning no later than 30 minutes after sunset, when there's still plenty of light. Our team will brief you on the return route.

Question 4

How much does a sunset boat trip cost?

Accepted Answer

A 2-hour sunset trip in a licence-free boat costs from 140 EUR in total ({noLicBaja1h} EUR/hour in low season). Fuel is included for licence-free boats. The boat takes up to 5 people, so the cost per person can be as low as 28 EUR. Licence-free boats include fuel, insurance, safety equipment and the briefing.
