Boat rental in Alicante
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 captain and sailor 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. You choose the format (half day, full day or sunset), the route and the vibe. 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.
Charter formats
Half day (4 hours)
The most popular option. Enough time to reach a couple of quiet coves, swim, snorkel and enjoy a drink on deck. Ideal if you have plans in the city later.
Full day (8 hours)
The full experience. Long enough to reach Tabarca Island, anchor inside the marine reserve, have lunch on board and come back at your own pace.
Sunset (3 hours)
The most photogenic slot. Sailing along the bay with the Santa Bárbara castle glowing on the hill and the sun dropping over the sea. Champagne optional (very recommended).
