Why No Licence Is Needed – The Skipper Advantage
Spanish maritime regulations require a licence for anyone operating a pleasure craft over certain power/size limits. By including a professional skipper in every charter, we bypass that requirement entirely. You and your guests simply relax, swim, sunbathe, and enjoy the Costa del Sol coastline. The skipper handles navigation, anchoring, and safety.
This is the standard model for boat rental in Marbella – no licence, no stress.
What You Get for the Price
Every no-licence charter includes:
- Licensed, English-speaking skipper
- Fuel for the entire trip
- Water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava
- Light snacks (chips, olives, nuts)
- Insurance and safety equipment
- Spanish IVA (21%)
No extra charges for docking, cleaning, or crew gratuity (though tips are always appreciated).
Where You Can Cruise Without a Licence
From Puerto Banús, you can head west to the exclusive Sotogrande marina, or east to the cliffs of Cabopino and the Cala del Faro. Popular anchorages include Cala Cortés and the waters off the Golden Mile. The skipper will suggest a route based on sea conditions and your preferences.
Typical distances: Puerto Banús to Cabopino is about 5 NM (20 minutes), to Estepona about 10 NM (40 minutes), and to Sotogrande about 20 NM (1 hour 15 minutes).
