How much does it cost to rent a sailboat?

Contrary to popular belief, chartering a sailboat doesn't have to be expensive. For this reason, Click&Boat offers you a huge fleet of private sailboat charters that meet all wishes and travel needs: various sizes, number of cabins, guests, and ports/marinas are present on the platform. Not to mention that Click&Boat sailboats are offered by owners from all over the world, so whatever your travel destination, it can include a sailing trip!

Starting prices for a sailboat charter vary widely but can start at around €150 per day for a simpler, smaller boat, but this can vary depending on the location and the season. The total cost will increase as you select larger yachts or yachts that offer more space. The average cost for 8 people is about €400 per day and €2,800 per week.

Other factors, such as the time of year, additional services, or the choice to hire the services of a professional skipper, can also influence the final price of your sailboat charter. It's always best to confirm with the boat owner the exact details of what is included in your sailboat charter.

Why rent a sailboat?

If you are looking for new adventures on your next holiday, you can’t go wrong with a private sailboat charter. Sailing is a unique way to experience the sea and is perfect for family holidays or trips with friends. Chartering a sailboat with Click&Boat allows you to fully customise your itinerary and activities and grants you the freedom to access all areas of a destination at your own pace. For example, if you’re in Menorca you can choose between enjoying a relaxing day at Cala de Macarella, an adventurous crossing to Mallorca or a relaxing getaway in search of diving spots.

Best of all, you can come and go as you please, avoid the crowds and enjoy every corner of your own boat's deck.

What are the best places to sail?

The options for your sailing cruise at sea are endless. With Click&Boat you can visit the most popular destinations:

Chartering a sailboat in Italy is a great option for your next sailing holiday. Visit Genoa and the main coastal towns of Liguria, cruise the Aeolian Islands from the northern coast of Sicily, marvel at the beauty of the Corallo Riviera or perhaps venture out on one of Italy's beautiful lakes, such as Garda.

Spain is also one of the best places to enjoy a boat trip. The Balearic Islands are a must-see with their turquoise blue waters and beautiful hidden coves. The islands comprise Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca, and Formentera. You’ll also find paradisical beaches in Barcelona, the Valencian region and in Andalusia.

The Algarve in Portugal offers a delightful mix of a Mediterranean climate and Atlantic waves, ideal for combining beautiful scenery, relaxing beaches and the thrill of water sports. Be sure to stop at the famous Praia da Dona Ana in Lagos or snorkel in Albufeira, a paradise of marine life and coral, offering caves, crystal clear waters and even shipwrecks.

Of course, you can’t go wrong with a boating holiday in destinations like Greece and Croatia, home to various island archipelagos that you can explore with your sailboat charter.

The best thing about a sailboat rental with Click&Boat is the opportunity to experience unique itineraries and routes. So, how about choosing the destination of your dreams and creating a totally personalised cruise: choose your starting points, activities, and schedules and enjoy your holiday in a new way!

Can I rent a sailboat without a licence?

It’s true that sailboats are the best vessel to choose to get the most authentic sailing experience, however, they are notoriously tricky to navigate since they are driven by the power of the wind. The need to present a nautical licence to sail a sailboat depends on the legislation of the place where you are going to sail, and also on the owner of the boat: some do not make their boats available for charter without a licence. 

• In France, for example, no licence is needed to sail a sailboat, while in Spain a permit is only required for those up to 6 metres in length and in specific areas. 
• In contrast, in places like Brazil and Portugal, it is not possible to drive a recreational sailboat without a licence.

But this is not a cause for concern. You should always keep in mind local weather conditions, wind and tides. If you have a valid licence, and you want the challenge of navigating the waves, you can find plenty of bareboats on the platform.

In case you do not have the necessary licence or nautical permit, Click&Boat always offers you the option to rent a sailing boat with a skipper. This way, a professional sailor will guide the boat and all you have to do is relax. But if you are a sailing enthusiast, don't miss the opportunity to learn from this professional the basic sailing techniques, organisation and layout of the boat, basic sailor's knots, etc. It is a unique opportunity to prepare yourself for future sailing!
