Boat Rental in Alicante with a Skipper
A private yacht for the day, a professional crew and the whole Costa Blanca to yourselves. Book online, we take care of the rest.
Renting a boat in Alicante is one of the smartest things you can do on a trip to the Costa Blanca. In a couple of hours you swap the beach crowd for turquoise coves, a slow lunch on board and the kind of afternoon you actually remember. At Aguayate we run private yacht charters from Marina Alicante, with a skipper on board — no experience or license required.

How boat rental works in Alicante
All our charters are skippered and private. The yacht is only for your group — no strangers, no shared decks. Choose Half Day, Day in Tabarca or Sunset, each with a defined duration, route and fixed total price. We handle navigation, safety and logistics.
The departure point is Marina Alicante, a five-minute walk from the old town. Boarding is straightforward and the crew meets you at the pontoon 15 minutes before your start time.
