With such a large Barcelona fleet, it can be hard to choose the right boat for you. It’s important to think about the type of holiday that you’re looking to have in order to make the right decision for your Barcelona boat rental. For a shorter holiday, we recommend a daily rental such as a motorboat or RIB. If you’re planning a longer holiday, we recommend a vessel with a bit more space such as a yacht or a catamaran.

Finally, if you’re an avid sailor and you don’t mind swaying on the water, we recommend a sailboat for the most authentic sailing experience. No matter what you’re looking for, you’re sure to find the perfect vessel for your Barcelona sailing holiday with Click&Boat.

Hire a boat in Barcelona with or without a skipper!

A large number of our Barcelona yacht hire come with the option of renting a skipper and/or crew. Although this may come at an extra price, having a skipper on board will ensure that you have an even more enjoyable experience.

Safety is a top priority and a professional skipper will ensure that all safety measures are taken care of, making your sailing experience stress-free. Moreover, a skipper is an expert in the area, and can take you to the best spots, ensuring you get the most out of your time on the water. A skipper can also offer local knowledge, and make recommendations for dining, entertainment, and other activities in Barcelona.

For those who prefer to rent a boat without a skipper, there are some conditions and requirements that must be met. Renters must have a valid boating licence, and must demonstrate their knowledge and experience in handling the specific type of boat they wish to rent. Alternatively, for those wanting a bareboat charter who don’t have a boating licence, opt for a licence free boat.

What is the best time to rent a yacht in Barcelona?

The best time for a Barcelona yacht rental is from May to October, when the weather is warm and sunny and there is little to no rainfall. Of course, you’ll have the hottest weather in the summer months with average high temperatures of 27°C and water temperatures up to 28°C!

However, it’s important to note that the summer months are the high tourist season in Barcelona, which means that the city will be more crowded and the prices of a yacht charter will be higher. For better deals on boats, fewer crowds and temperate weather we recommend visiting at the tail ends of the high season, in either May or September.
