Hire a boat with a skipper
If you wish to spend your next boating holiday hands-free, you can opt for a skippered charter.

We have a wide array of boats available to hire, which can be used without a skipper onboard. Please note that in Spain, a license will be required for boats which are longer than 5 metres (6 metres for sailboats) and with a power output of more than 15 hp.
