Why rent a sailboat?
If you are looking for new adventures on your next holiday, renting a sailboat is an opportunity not to be missed. Perfect for family holidays, a sailboat allows you to experience the sea in a unique way.
Whether you decide to rent a sailboat with or without a skipper, you will learn the basics of sailing during your trip. Whether observing or participating, the experience on a sailboat is too intense and engaging for anyone to allow themselves to sit on the sidelines. The thrill of the waves, the shifting winds and the hoisting of the sail will turn your sailing into an unforgettable journey.
Chartering a sailboat with Click&Boat allows you to fully customise your itinerary and activities. If your sailboat charter is in Menorca, for example, you can choose between enjoying a relaxing day at Cala de Macarella, an adventurous crossing to Mallorca or a relaxing getaway in search of diving spots. And best of all, you can come and go as you please, avoid the crowds and enjoy every corner of your own boat's deck.
Where are the best places to sail?
The options for your sailing cruise at sea are endless. Here are some of our top ideas:
Chartering a sailboat in Italy is a great option for your next sailing holiday. Visit Genoa and the main coastal towns of Liguria, cruise the Aeolian Islands from the northern coast of Sicily, marvel at the beauty of the Corallo Riviera, or perhaps venture out on one of Italy's beautiful lakes, such as Garda.
Spain is also one of the best places to enjoy a dream sailing holiday. Starting with the Balearic Islands, nautical territories par excellence, with their turquoise blue waters and beautiful hidden coves. In addition, the Valencian Community does not neglect the paradisiacal beaches and, if we add to this the possibility of tasting the local paella, you'll get the idea! Find the best combination of adrenaline and dream beaches in Galicia is an ideal destination for a holiday on board.
The Algarve in Portugal offers a delightful mix of Mediterranean climate and Atlantic waves, ideal for combining beautiful scenery, relaxing beaches and the thrill of water sports. Be sure to stop at the famous Praia da Dona Ana in Lagos or snorkel in Albufeira, a paradise of marine life and coral, offering caves, crystal clear waters and even shipwrecks.
Last but not least, we cannot fail to mention nautical destinations of excellence, such as Greece and Croatia. Can you imagine sailing along their coasts on board a dream sailboat?
The best thing about renting a sailboat with Click&Boat is to experience unique itineraries and routes. So how about choosing the destination of your dreams and creating a totally personalised cruise: choose your starting points, activities, schedules and enjoy your holiday in a new way!
Do I need a nautical licence to charter a sailboat?
The need to present a nautical licence to sail a sailboat depends on the legislation of the place where you are going to sail, and also on the owner of the boat: some do not make their boats available for charter without a licence.
In France, for example, no licence is needed to sail a sailboat, while in Spain a permit is only required for those up to 6 metres in length and in specific areas. In contrast, in places like Brazil and Portugal it is not possible to drive a recreational sailboat without a licence. But this is not a cause for concern.
In case you do not have the necessary licence or nautical permit, Click&Boat always offers you the option of chartering a sailing yacht with a skipper. This way, a professional sailor will guide the boat and all you have to do is relax. But if you are a sailing enthusiast, don't miss the opportunity to learn from this professional the basic sailing techniques, organisation and layout of the boat, basic sailor's knots, etc. It is a unique opportunity to prepare yourself for future sailing!
