Tips for inexperienced boat charterers
Blue Ocean Ibiza


It doesn't have to be during a holiday.

Maybe you want to try out the experience of driving a boat: get behind the wheel, take your family for a ride.... Maybe you'll end up buying one!

Today we give you some recommendations for renting a boat even if you don't have much experience.

If you do not have a navigation licence

Not all charter companies offer boats that can be driven without a licence.

If you are still determined, the first thing to check is whether it is a legal charter, especially for your own safety.

Next, ask the person who gives you the boat to explain everything that is essential for you to enjoy your trip without putting yourself in danger: recommendations of navigation areas, anchor operation, speed control...

Even if they are small, low-powered boats, it is vital that you pay close attention to what they tell you.

And drive with caution!

If you have a navigation licence

In case you have managed to get your sailing licence and want to get some experience as a skipper, it will cost you less to get a charter boat.

You can choose boats up to 6 metres, but our recommendation is that the first time you start with something modest and that makes you feel safe.

You are also free to go 2 nautical miles off the coast; even so, the first few times it is best to stay close to dry land.

Ask the person handing you the boat if you have any questions, and if there are any details of the boat that you should be aware of.

Have a good time!

Rent a boat from a reputable company

Unfortunately, there are many pirate companies that engage in the fraudulent chartering of vessels.

It is important to hire your charter in places that comply with current legislation, and that have all the necessary coverage if it is necessary to solve any emergency.

In addition, they keep an exhaustive control of the condition of their boats and efficiently solve any mechanical problem.

A safe trip is a happy trip.
