Where are the best areas to rent a boat in Granada?

And in the ports that form La Herradura, in the famous Marina del Este you will find the most exclusive boats moored. The best thing about renting your boat here is that you will have the opportunity to visit the best beaches with crystal clear water and visit places as important as the Punta de la Mona Lighthouse.

• Nerja: despite being a municipality of Malaga, is one of the most popular destinations for those visiting the Costa Tropical, as it is located less than 20 minutes from Almuñecar. Renting a boat in Nerja, is to get involved in the charm of its landscapes because once you embark and start your journey, you can see from the sea the spectacular cliffs that form this area, among which are the famous Mirador de Maro-Cerro Gordo.

• Motril: the port of this famous city of Granada stands out for being a great nucleus of commercial, fishing and sporting activities in the Mediterranean. Therefore, we believe that renting a good sailboat or a catamaran from here can be a great option for you to experience the feeling of sailing the sea and explore all those secret corners that this coastline hides. You will be able to reach the high seas, but not before visiting beaches such as Las Azucenas or La Joya.

What kind of boats can I rent in Granada?

- Sailboats: certiainly the perfect option for sailing lovers. Renting a sailboat will give you the opportunity to anchor in the best ports of Granada and enjoy the experience with your family and friends. They usually have a capacity for about 8 people and most of them have large cabins where you can rest and even spend several nights on board. Everything depends on you.

- Catamarans: we are sure that renting this type of boat will not leave you indifferent at all. They have a very stable structure and can be operated both under sail and motor. In addition, you will be able to reach a speed of up to 80 kilometers per hour and the sensation you will experience will be like flying over the water.

In it your experience will be unforgettable, because on board you will find all the comforts that will make you not want to return to dry land. And having the possibility of spending a few days on a glamorous yacht of up to 20 meters in length, who will want to leave the sea?

Is it necessary to have a license to rent a boat in Granada?

The best thing about the ports of Granada is that anyone who reaches the majority of age can rent one of the boats that are docked. Of course, depending on the one you choose you will need one type of license or another, or even on more than one occasion you will find boats for in which you won’t need any type of license. As we know that this can be a bit confusing, we are going to explain it clearly so that you can have an idea of the boats you can rent.

+ With license: if you have the famous "titulín" which is now known as Navigation License, you will have the opportunity to have the control of any motor or sailing boat regardless of its power, something that in the past was always taken into account. However, you will not be able to drive a boat that measures more than 6 meters in length and you will not be able to go further than 2 miles away from the port. In case you are willing to become the skipper of a boat up to 8 meters in length, you can always rent one of them if you have the PNC license (Navigation Skipper) and thus be able to move up to 5 miles. And if you want to surprise your family and take them to explore the sea at a distance of 12 miles from the port, with the PER license (Recreational Boats Skipper) you can rent amazing boats up to 15 meters in length. The best thing about having one of these titles is that you won't need the company of a skipper to enjoy the sea.

+ Without a license: you will surely be dying to become a real skipper for a day, even though you don't have any sailing license. Well, let us tell you that this is not a problem! You can rent small motorboats with a length of no more than 5 meters, and in case you are passionate about sailing trips, the 6-meter boats will be your ideal rental option. Believe us, there is nothing like being the skipper of your own boat and going out to sail along the coast. Even if you can't go further than 2 miles, it will be an unforgettable experience.

+ With skipper: in case you want to rent a boat that allows you to spend a longer period on board and spend the night at sea, you will always find boat rentals with the option of hiring a skipper to take control, guide you on your journey and make you feel much safer at all times.

We are sure you are looking forward to get to Granada and rent that boat that will make your summer on the Costa Tropical a dream come true. So don't wait any longer and take a look at our charter options, you won't regret it!
