No License Required – How It Works
Spanish law requires a license for private boat operation, but our charters bypass that entirely. Every boat in our fleet comes with a professional skipper who handles all navigation, mooring, and safety. You are free to swim, sunbathe, and enjoy the views. The skipper also acts as your local guide, pointing out landmarks like La Concha mountain, Río Verde, and the exclusive villas along the coast. No experience, no exam – just book and go.
