Renting a sailboat in Mallorca will allow you to enjoy the island from a different perspective and access beaches and coves that would be impossible to reach on foot. In addition, aboard a sailing boat you can enjoy a range of water sports and activities such as snorkeling and explore the best of the island away from the crowds of tourists.
If this seems like a good plan, we recommend that you take a look at the Click & Boat collaborative platform, where you can enjoy boat rentals in Mallorca with or without a captain in a simple way and at the best price.
Why rent a sailboat in Mallorca?
Thanks to its more than 300 days of sunshine a year and its more than 500km of coastline, Mallorca is a national and international tourist reference point and one of the Spanish (and world!) destinations par excellence for lovers of nautical tourism.
The island has many practically virgin beaches and coves that are difficult or impossible to reach on foot, only accessible by sea; a magnificent natural heritage and one of the best infrastructures for a perfect holiday.
What do I need to rent a sailboat in Mallorca?
You can rent a sailboat in Mallorca without a captain as long as you have the appropriate license. The most common are the title of Basic Navigation Pattern (PNB) for vessels up to 8 metres in length, and with which you can go up to five nautical miles from the coast; and the title of Recreational Vessel’s Skipper (PER), with which you can control boats of up to 15 metres in length and sail up to 12 nautical miles away, as well as make intra-island crossings.
Sailing boats with a length of less than 6 metres do not require a license to sail. If this is the case, you will be able to rent a sailing boat without a license in Mallorca without any previous experience, nautical training or license. The only requirement, apart from those mentioned above, is that you must be over 18 years old.
Before sailing, you will have a short briefing with the owner and follow his advice in order to enjoy the experience in the best possible way. With this type of boats it is not possible to go very far from the coast, but don’t worry, the Mallorcan coasts allow a close and easy navigation in most of its beaches and coves.
