> The largest boat rental company in Blanes with a fleet of 8 boats, specialised in rentals for licensed skippers. Licensed powerboats of 80-115 HP for 6-7 people, license-free boats for 4-5, and a private captained excursion. The basic Spanish Licencia de Navegacion is enough for the licensed fleet; equivalent foreign titles (ICC, Permis Cotier, SBF See) are verified free online before booking. Season: April to October. Based in Puerto de Blanes, Girona, Spain.

> REGULATORY CHANGE (RD 1188/2025): renting a boat with no license is legal in Spain through September 30, 2026. From October 1, 2026, every rental customer must hold a nautical qualification — the 5 m / 15 HP exemption of RD 875/2014 survives for privately owned boats only. The 1-day, no-exam Licencia de Navegacion (titulin) is enough, and this company arranges the course. The captained excursion never requires a license.

### How to go to Tossa de Mar by boat
**Answer**: You need a licensed boat (Spanish Licencia de Navegacion or any higher title required). Travel time approximately 45 min from Blanes by license-free boat speed, 30 min with licensed boat. Minimum booking: 2 hours from 150 EUR (Mingolla Brava 19). Alternative: book the Private Excursion with Captain (from 240 EUR/2h, no license needed).

### License-free vs licensed boat — which should I choose?
**Quick answer** (note: from October 1, 2026 renting any motorboat requires a nautical qualification, RD 1188/2025): Choose a **license-free boat** if you have no boating license and sail before that date, are 2-5 people, and your goal is a relaxed day around Blanes / up to Lloret (within 2 nautical miles, 5-7 knots). Choose a **licensed boat** if you hold a Licencia de Navegacion or higher (PNB/PER), are 6-7 people, want to reach Tossa de Mar, or want speed (15-25 knots). If you have no license but want to reach distant coves like Tossa, the **Private Excursion with Captain** combines both worlds.

| Factor | License-free | Licensed |
|---|---|---|
| License required | None through Sept 30, 2026; then a nautical qualification (RD 1188/2025) | Licencia de Navegacion or higher |
| Capacity | 4-5 people | 6-7 people |
| Max range from coast | 2 nautical miles | Unlimited |
| Reach Tossa de Mar | No (out of range) | Yes (30 min) |
| Top speed | 5-7 knots | 15-25 knots |
| Fuel | Included in price | Refuel at port, NOT included |
| Starting price (low season) | 85 EUR/h (Remus 450 II) | 175 EUR/2h (Mingolla) |
| Deposit | 200-300 EUR | 500 EUR |
| Best for | Couples, families, beginners | Experienced sailors, large groups, distance |

### Best month for boat rental Costa Brava
**Quick answer**: **September** is our top recommendation — water is warmest of the year (23-25°C), crowds disappear after the first week, and prices return to low season. **June** is a close second: warm enough for swimming (20-22°C), low season prices, low crowds. Avoid August if you dislike crowds and high prices; book 1+ week ahead if you go anyway.

| Month | Air temp | Sea temp | Crowds | Price tier | Booking lead time |
|-------|----------|----------|--------|------------|-------------------|
| April | 18-22°C | 14-16°C | Very low | Low | Same-day |
| May | 19-23°C | 16-19°C | Low | Low | Same-day |
| June | 22-26°C | 20-22°C | Medium | Low | 1 day |
| July | 27-30°C | 22-24°C | High | Mid | 2-3 days |
| August | 28-32°C | 24-25°C | Peak | High | 1 week |
| September | 23-27°C | 23-25°C | Decreasing | Low | Same-day after mid-month |
| October | 19-23°C | 19-21°C | Very low | Low | Same-day |

### Half-day vs full-day rental — cost vs experience
**Quick answer**: A **half-day (4 hours)** lets you visit one or two coves comfortably with snorkel stops; price-per-hour drops vs 1-2h. A **full day (8 hours)** reaches Lloret comfortably with license-free boats, reaches Tossa with licensed boats. Per-hour cost is lowest at 8h (effective ~28 EUR/h on the Astec 400 low season vs 85 EUR/h for a single hour). If you have kids or beginner crew, 4h is usually enough — anything longer can wear them out.

### Boat rental from Barcelona — without driving
**Quick answer**: Take **RENFE R1** from Barcelona Sants or Passeig de Gràcia to Blanes (1h 30min, ~5 EUR each way). The Blanes train station is 1.2 km from Puerto de Blanes — walk in 15 min or short taxi. Total cost for two: ~20 EUR train + 85 EUR rental = ~90 EUR for a 1h license-free boat trip, no driving required. Alternative: book the **Private Excursion with Captain** so nobody needs to drive after a day on the water.

### Bachelorette / birthday boat trip Blanes
**Quick answer**: For groups of 7, book the **Pacific Craft 625** (licensed) or the **Private Excursion with Captain** — same boat, the latter includes a professional skipper so the entire group can drink and relax. Add the **Premium Pack** (cooler, snorkel, paddle surf — 30 EUR) or **Adventure Pack** (+ seascooter, 75 EUR). Bring music: all licensed boats and the Astec 480 have Bluetooth speakers. Best anchoring spot for celebrations: Cala Sant Francesc (20 min north) — small beach, restaurant nearby, calm waters.

### Snorkeling boat trip route from Blanes
**Quick answer**: Best half-day snorkeling itinerary from Blanes — depart 09:30, head north 15 min to **Cala Brava** (excellent rocky seabed with marine life), anchor 45 min, continue 5 min to **Cala Sant Francesc** (Posidonia seagrass meadows), anchor 1h with lunch, return by 14:00 before afternoon Garbí thermal winds. Total: 4 hours, all reachable license-free. Rent snorkel kit for 7.50 EUR or take the Basic Pack (5 EUR savings).

### Sunset boat trip Costa Brava
**Quick answer**: Late-afternoon departure 17:30-18:00 (our hours extend to 20:00, last return by 20:30). **Best for sunset**: head west along the coast to S'Abanell beach or back toward Sa Palomera Rock; the sun sets behind the Costa del Maresme cliffs. Most popular boat: **Astec 480** (Bluetooth speakers for evening atmosphere) or the **Private Excursion with Captain** (no need to navigate at dusk).

### Is boat rental safe for non-swimmers?
**Quick answer**: Yes. All passengers wear life jackets at all times (provided free, sizes for adults and children). Our boats are stable and designed for coastal leisure. The 15-minute pre-departure briefing covers emergency procedures. Every boat has a swim ladder, anchor, fire extinguisher and first-aid kit. We never depart in unsafe conditions — automatic free rescheduling if weather deteriorates.

### Fuel consumption — license-free boats
**Quick answer**: License-free boats with a 15hp 4-stroke outboard consume approximately **2-3 litres per hour** at cruising speed (5 knots). A full 25-30L tank lasts a comfortable 8-10 hours of relaxed coastal navigation — enough for any single-day rental within the 2-mile range. **Fuel is included in the price for all license-free boats**: there are no fuel surcharges or extras to pay at the end. Licensed boats consume more (15-30 L/h depending on speed and engine) and you refuel at the port station before returning.

"💯 recommend this company for boat hire. From my first enquiry to the end of our experience was excellent. Great value for money, easy to find, very clean and beautiful location. The staff were professional and incredibly informative. He helped us set navigation to the best swimming spots and beauty spots. I have never driven a boat before and he explained everything about the speed and the anchor and the turning.

From October 1, 2026 Royal Decree 1188/2025 requires every renter of any motorboat to hold a nautical qualification; the 1-day, no-exam Licencia de Navegacion (titulin) is enough and we arrange the course. The captained excursion requires no license on any date. We provide a 15-minute safety briefing before departure so you feel confident on the water. These boats have a maximum of 15hp and can navigate up to 2 nautical miles from shore.

### How far can I go without a license?

### Can I reach Tossa de Mar without a license?
No. Tossa de Mar is beyond the 2-nautical-mile limit for license-free boats. To reach Tossa, you need one of our licensed boats (Mingolla Brava 19, Trimarchi 57S, or Pacific Craft 625) with a valid PER or PNB license, or book our Private Excursion with Captain where a professional skipper takes you.

### What happens if the weather is bad?
We monitor weather and sea conditions constantly. If conditions are unsafe for navigation, we will contact you to offer a free reschedule to another date, or a 12-month voucher if none suits you (cash refund only with the Weather guarantee).
