Important things to take into consideration about our Costa Brava rental boats

costa brava rental boats image

When people search for Costa Brava rental boats, they usually want the same three things: a reliable skipper, a beautiful route, and a boat that feels comfortable the moment they step aboard. Might that be case scenario?

Whether that statement is true or not, we believe those ideas are what make the difference between a day you’ll talk about for years, or simply another regular day. FYI, Girona’s coastline invites you to stop often: anchoring in little coves, swimming, snorkeling, paddle-surfing, taking photos of cliffs, and enjoying a relaxed drink while the skipper picks the next spot.

#1 Costa Brava rental boats for worlwide participants, agencies, and locals interested in a sailing experience

The ‘Nosy Pearl’ and the ‘Ariadne’ have been operating Costa Brava boat rentals since 2025. They both highlight a tailormade, quality-focused service from Blanes, Girona. Among the guests who usually join our services, we differentiate between three main categories.

Despite the fact that all of them receive the same service, we use different marketing strategies to catch their attention. We do not only promote our expertise on the internet, through social media and a curated SEO calendar, but also attending fairs that target their niche.

Here you’ll find information about the types of guests who usually join our boat trips:

Guests from a DMC agency in Barcelona for an incentive trip

National and international DMC travel agencies, and event planners/communication agencies, frequently need a clean, unique experiences for their guests. In that sense, our Costa Brava rental boats offer clear schedules, all-inclusive programs, and boats that can handle different group moods (relaxed families, corporate incentives, celebrations).

From a Barcelona perspective, Blanes is a strategic point. It approximately takes 1 hour drive into the “postcard Costa Brava” zone (toward Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar). In comparison to Catalunya’s main port, there won’t be that much of time spent leaving the docking area.

  • Professional English language skipper included, so the experience feels like a private charter rather than “DIY boat hire.”
  • Onboard add-ons already covered (snorkel gear, paddle surf, drinks, cava), which makes the guest experience feel premium without agencies having to coordinate extras.

Where do the majority of guests who hire our Costa Braval rental boats come from?

If you’re planning a fixed date (birthday, proposal, team event), we’d suggest hiring our Costa Brava rental boats in advance. As you may be aware, popular slots go first, especially when there are bank-holidays in other countries.

According to our previous bookings, guests who have already stayed in Blanes, Lloret, or Tossa, and participated with us before usually come from the following countries: UK, Ucrania, Russia, France, Netherlands, and other northern European countries such as Norway.

They usually book appartments/hotels on nearby beach towns. Thus they’re interested in a private boat day as their “big activity” during their holidays in the region.

What do residents, who have never sailed before, think about the Blanes fireworks from the sea?

Even locals who’ve watched the Blanes fireworks from the beach often describe the sea viewpoint as a “completely different event.” Some of them, have requested our Costa Brava rental boats before. These are some characteristics about this specific booking:

  • A wide, unobstructed view of the full show, without buildings, trees, or crowds blocking angles. Just other boats. The sooner you get on spot, the better.
  • More comfort: space to sit, controlled music, drinks, and a calmer atmosphere than packed sand.
  • A strong “special occasion” feeling—it turns a public festival into a private memory.

For those first readers, Blanes is known for its International Fireworks festival, and local tourism office even notes that sailboats are probably the best places to view the show. Enjoy the experience as a relaxed night at sea with friends, food and drinks.

Other interior and exterior details about the Costa Brava rental boats.

Please take into consideration that both vessels were launched in 1991 and 2003 respectively, although they were refurbished in 2023. Consequently, these Costa Brava rental boats are pretty new. People appreciate the most recent changes, as well as the extra add-ons offered by the staff while booking. Both of them count with

  • Shade + sun balance: a bimini/toldo for midday heat, plus solarium cushions for lounging.
  • Swim access: swim ladder, and freshwater shower for comfort after salty swims.
  • Cold drinks and easy snacks: portable or electric fridge/cooler matters more than people expect.
  • Music: Bluetooth audio is often the “vibe control” feature for groups.
  • Water-toys: snorkel equipment and two paddle surfboards to make the day feel full.

These details are some examples of what your skipper will offer to you. More than just sailing, you’ll spend time swimming, eating, and exploring. The rest will be developed by the professional: anchoring, route choices, and safety.

The Beneteau Oceanis 50 is designed as a comfortable long-distance vessel with an emphasis on light, ergonomics, and well-being. We decided to add the experience onboard to our Costa Brava rental boats because it offers an extended roof, long side windows, and a mainsail arch integrated into a modern, comfort-focused layout.

Why should you be interested in our Costa Brava rental boats available in Blanes, Girona?

Blanes is one of the most practical spots/ departure points on the coast. Our Costa Brava rental boats are well positioned to explore the southern areas’ highlights. For instance, Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar. Although if you rented us for a couple of days, we could take you to longer distances, without the need to refuel.

Here you’ll find a useful content table, listed from south to north, about the off the beaten beaches that you could visit with our sailboat.

Cala Sa Forcanera– Tiny, calm, and only accessible by sea, so it often feels like a secret.
Cala s’Agulla – Another “little secret” right by Blanes. You can also access to it by walking.
Cala de Sant Francesc – clear water and it counts with a restaurant that offers ‘Esmorzar de forquilla’.
Cala Treumal – A natural, piney beach on the Blanes/Lloret edge that’s a bit removed from the busiest spots. It’s been featured on different films and TV shows.
Sa Boadella – One of the nicer “escape the crowds” beaches around Lloret (still popular in peak summer, but quieter than the main ones).
Cala Canyelles – it has a small marina, and we could drop you there for a nice restaurante booking.
Cala Pola – Classic pretty inlet near Tossa with a buoy field and limited space to anchor.
Cala Giverola – Larger, very scenic cove close to Tossa (more built-up than the tiny coves, but still a gorgeous swim stop)
Cala dels Frares – Small, rocky, no-frills beach: great if your idea of a good stop is a swim/snorkel and relaxing on the boat.

Is the Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 423 the right vessel for your group?

The Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 423 is often described on the net as a pleasure vessel: a “beautiful silhouette,” good light and space, and a balance of comfort and performance. Furthermore, our Costa Brava rental botes emphasize its comfort and privacy, versus the opened group boat tours.

When talking about group bookings, it fits 11 people. We always include snorkeling gear, and complementary drinks & snacks. If interested, you can add two paddle surfboards.

The staff’s opinion about the Costa Brava rental boats

Alba and Xavi think that the Costa Brava rental boats might be a premium way to enjoy the Mediterranean Sea. They love every single hidden beach, and from time to time, specially during low season, they relax with friends and family members, instead of working.

They’ve sailed from the Canary Islands to Blanes, and Corsica to Blanes in order to bring the boats to their new port. Check our prices here.
