The <strong>boat rentals<\/strong> It lets you enjoy the sea for a few hours, a few days, or your entire vacation\u2014without the responsibility or expense of owning a boat. You choose the boat, the destination, and the itinerary. And then you just set sail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is boat rental?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renting a boat\u2014what is known in the industry as <strong>yacht charter<\/strong>\u2014 is to rent a boat for as long as you need. It could be a motorboat for a day, a sailboat for a weekend, or a catamaran for a whole week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It's the perfect option if you don't own a boat yet. But it's also ideal if you already have one and want to sail to a different destination without having to transport your boat. You rent a boat there, go sailing, and return home without any logistical hassles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is the best time to rent a boat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rental plan can be tailored to your specific needs. It usually works out well when you want:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Discover a New Coastline<\/strong> from the ocean during your vacation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organize a <strong>a quick getaway <\/strong>a day or a weekend.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enjoy a <strong>day of sailing<\/strong> even if you don't have your own boat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Try another boat<\/strong>: switch from a sailboat to a catamaran, or choose a boat that's better suited to the number of people you're traveling with.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sailing on a <strong>a different destination<\/strong> without moving your own boat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Boats You Can Rent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all trips require the same type of boat. These are the most common options for boat rentals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sailboat<\/strong>. For those who enjoy sailing at a leisurely pace and soaking up that quintessential feeling of the sea. Ideal for peaceful voyages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Catamaran<\/strong>. Two cabins, plenty of stability, and more space on board. Perfect for groups and families looking for comfort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Motorboat or motorboat<\/strong>. The most convenient option for coastal drives, coves, and swimming. Commonly rented by the hour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Yacht<\/strong>. When you're looking for a more comprehensive experience with onboard services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose the boat that best fits your plans and the people you're traveling with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boat rentals with or without a captain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don't always have to be the one at the helm. Depending on the boat and your certification, you can rent in two ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>With a pattern<\/strong>. Someone else is in charge of steering the boat, and you just get to relax and enjoy the ride. You don't need a license, and you have someone on board who knows the area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No pattern<\/strong>. You're the one steering the boat. You need the appropriate certification for the type of boat and the kind of sailing you'll be doing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And with or without a degree?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one of the most common questions people have when renting a boat. In general terms, and for guidance only:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No degree<\/strong> You can operate small boats (typically up to about 5 meters in length and with limited engine power, or small sailboats) in specific areas and under specific conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>With the PNB (Basic Navigation Certificate) <\/strong>You can operate boats up to about 8 meters in length and go as far as 5 miles from the coast.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>With the PER (Recreational Vessel Certification)<\/strong> The range extends to about 15 meters in length and up to 12 miles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These limits are for guidance only and are set by current nautical regulations. Before booking a bareboat charter, always confirm the requirements with the charter company and check the current regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does it cost to rent a boat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The price of boat rentals depends on several factors: the type of boat, the destination, the dates, the season, and whether or not you hire a skipper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a general guide, you\u2019ll find motorboats available for rent by the hour or by the day starting at around 50 \u20ac per day, while a sailboat can start at about 850 \u20ac per week in the off-season and a catamaran at about 1,480 \u20ac per week. During peak season and at popular destinations, prices go up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a member of Portview, you have a <strong>5% discount at Sailwiz<\/strong> to discover new boat trips and adventures.
