Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before your day on the water. Can't find your answer? Just message us.

Do I need a licence to rent a boat?

Not always. We keep a dedicated range of no-licence boats that anyone can drive after a short safety briefing at the dock, ideal for exploring the bay at an easy pace. Our larger motor yachts and sport boats need either a valid boating licence or a skipper, which we are happy to arrange for you. If you are unsure which category a boat falls into, just ask when you enquire and we will point you to the right one.

Is fuel included in the price?

Fuel is not included in the hire rate. You take the boat out with a full tank and settle up for what you have used when you return, so you only ever pay for the distance you actually cover. Your final fuel cost depends on the boat, the route and how you cruise. The team will give you a realistic estimate for your planned day before you set off.

Can I hire a skipper?

Yes. A qualified local skipper can be added to almost any boat in our fleet, ideal if you would rather relax, do not hold a licence, or simply want someone who knows the best coves and swim spots. Add a note when you enquire and we will confirm skipper availability and the daily rate for your chosen date.

How many people can join?

Every boat lists its maximum guest capacity on its detail page, and that figure covers everyone on board. Our smallest boats suit intimate groups of around four, while the larger yachts comfortably take up to twelve. If you have a specific group size in mind, tell us and we will suggest the boats that fit best.

Where do we depart from?

We operate from four departure points across northern Mallorca: Alcúdia, Pollensa (Port de Pollença), Can Picafort and Palma. Each boat shows its home port, and your exact meeting point and check-in time are confirmed when you book. If one port is easier for you to reach, let us know and we will show you what is available there.
