Boat trip in Alicante
A day on the water done right: good light, transparent coves and enough time not to look at the clock.
You don't need to charter a whole yacht to enjoy the sea. Many people come to Alicante looking for something simpler: a boat trip, a cruise with a few swim stops, a different afternoon. This format is probably the easiest way to discover the Costa Blanca from the water.
At aguayate all our boat trips are private, but designed for small groups: couples, families or groups of friends looking for a beautiful, low-stress day.
What to expect
The honest answer is you'll disconnect. Slow navigation, several cove stops, food and drinks on your own timing, room to swim and space to do absolutely nothing.
What's included
- Private yacht with captain and sailor
- Fuel, mooring and insurance
- Snorkel gear for the whole group
- Towels on board
- Cold water, soft drinks and a light snack
- Bluetooth sound system with your playlist
Route options
Short route: nearby coves
Cabo de las Huertas, Cala Cantalar, Palmera. Less than 30 minutes from the port.
South route: Santa Pola and Tabarca
The classic full-day route. See it in detail on Tabarca by boat.
North route: San Juan, El Campello and Villajoyosa
A more urban coastline with charming coves. Great half-day alternative.
Sunset in the bay
No need to go far. Sailing in front of Postiguet with the Santa Bárbara castle lit up is one of the best postcards of the Costa Blanca.
Private vs shared boat trips
Shared trips in Alicante are cheap but crowded. A private trip lets you pick your timing, personalise stops and music and enjoy real space on board. Detailed comparison in private boat in Alicante.
