Hire a boat in Gibraltar

Boat Hire in Gibraltar with Click&Boat

Love British culture but hate the rain and clouds? With a boat hire in Gibraltar, you can experience a unique fusion of English, Spanish, and North African culture all in one place. Often referred to as “The Rock”, British-owned Gibraltar stands in its iconic rock-like form as the guardian of the Mediterranean Sea. At first, the British influence in the Mediterranean climate can feel jarring; the streets are lined with the iconic red phone booths and local pubs serve traditional British cuisine such as fish and chips. While there you’ll hear people speaking English, Spanish, and a local language called Llanito, which is a mix of the two languages and a sprinkle of Portuguese and Maltese. Experience this special melting pot that is unlike any other place on Earth, and discover why Gibraltar is an up-and-coming tourist destination. Click&Boat is here to help you explore Gibraltar in the best way: by boat.

What can you see and do on a Gibraltar boat hire?

Despite its small size, Gibraltar is a treasure trove of excitement and is full of things to do. Here’s a must-do list to keep in mind as you sail your Gibraltar boat hire.

• Admire the lighthouse in Europa Point. Legend has it that Hercules completed his tenth labour passing through it, opening the strait, and creating the pillars that stand there today.
• Go dolphin watching and see three species of dolphins lurking in the turquoise water. Watch Bottlenose, Common, and Striped dolphins dip and dive into the sea and explore the caves along the eastern side of the Rock with views of Morocco and Spain.
• See Europe’s only Barbary Macaques in the Apes Den. It is believed that if the wild apes should ever disappear, the British will also disappear from Gibraltar forever.
• Climb the Mediterranean Steps up to the highest peak of the Rock for spectacular views of Gibraltar.
• Scuba dive and uncover a biodiverse, underwater universe.
• Cool off at one of Gibraltar’s fabulous beaches. We recommend Camp Bay, Little Bay, Catalan Bay, and Eastern Beach.
