A fun activity to do on any getaway to a coastal area is to rent a boat and go out and discover the maritime environment.
Although it seems simple, there are some important things to take into account, such as permits, basic knowledge and suitability of the boat.
Do you want to know everything you need to know to have an unforgettable experience? We explain it to you!
Decisions before chartering a boat in Ibiza
It is important to note that there are boats that can be driven without a licence, but the most common is to have a navigation licence (titulín) or a recreational boat skipper's licence (PER).
If you want to rent a boat for which you do not have a licence, it is not a problem, as you can rent a boat with a skipper; it is a way to free yourself from any worries and dedicate yourself to enjoying the trip.
At Blue Ocean, we will be happy to answer any questions you may have about how to choose the perfect boat to charter.
Which is the right boat for you?
Each type of boat has some peculiarities that you will have to take into account when choosing, whether they are the limitations, safety measures or the functionality of each type of boat.
We explain them all to you!
Renting a motorboat in Ibiza; the practical option
Boats in general are very handy-sized vessels (although of a fairly wide range).
They are a great option if you want to visit hidden beaches, coves, or even caves big enough to enter safely.
They are also ideal for lovers of water sports such as water-skiing, inflatable mattresses... Speed and manoeuvrability for endless fun!
Semi-rigid or "inflatable" boats
Inflatables have the same advantages as motorboats. So... What is the difference?
Basically, being lighter boats, they consume less fuel because it costs less to move them around the sea.
On the other hand, there is a chance of puncturing the ball, although it is minimal, and your boat hire company will help you in any case.
Rent a yacht in Ibiza
If you are looking for an experience in style, this is one of the best options for sailing with all the possible comforts: air conditioning, water, television...
In this case, the best option is to rent a yacht to spend one or more days with family or friends, with an experienced skipper who will take you to the places you want to visit.
Relax and comfort on the high seas with your loved ones, the ideal plan for the summer!
Sailing in Ibiza; an authentic experience
Los veleros son la pura esencia de la navegación; movidos solo por el viento, aportan una sensación de calma sin igual.
No necesitan de ningún combustible, pero sí de marineros experimentados, por lo que de nuevo recomendamos contar con un patrón y su tripulación para disfrutar de la experiencia sin preocupaciones.
Son respetuosos con el medio ambiente, silenciosos, e imponentes. El barco perfecto para los amantes del mar.
Sailboats are the pure essence of sailing; moved only by the wind, they provide an unparalleled sense of calm.
They don't need any fuel, but they do need experienced sailors, so again we recommend having a skipper and crew to enjoy the experience without worries.
They are environmentally friendly, silent and impressive. The perfect boat for sea lovers.
Rent a catamaran in Ibiza
In this case, the only difference is that they are more spacious than sailboats, since in both cases they are propelled by their huge sails and the wind.
Being slightly more complex, there are few options for renting them without a skipper, but they have the advantage of being able to comfortably transport more people.
They are also more stable due to their construction, so you can comfortably move around the boat during the crossing, or sleep peacefully if you decide to spend the night at sea.
