Boat charter in Mallorca without license | 2026

What does "boat rental without a license" mean?

Under Spanish law, boats meeting certain requirements can be operated without a nautical license: engines of up to 15 HP, semi-rigid or leisure hulls within a limited length, and daytime navigation within an established distance from shore. This means you get to be the captain of your own boat, with no fixed schedules and no need to hire a skipper, perfect for couples, families, or groups of friends looking for total freedom at sea.

Every license-free boat comes with mandatory safety equipment, life jackets, and a short briefing before you set off.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need previous experience to rent a boat without a license?

Not necessarily. Before setting off you'll receive a short briefing on how to operate the boat and basic navigation rules.

What's the minimum age to rent a license-free boat in Mallorca?

The usual minimum age to take responsibility for the rental is 18, though this can vary depending on the boat.

Can I hire a skipper if I'd rather not drive the boat myself?

Yes. Even though the boat doesn't require a license, you can always add a skipper service if you prefer.

Which areas can I visit with a license-free boat?

It depends on the engine power and hull type, but generally you can sail within an established distance from the coast enough to reach the coves closest to your departure port.
