BEST PLACE TO RENT A BOAT IN EUROPE? TOP 5 QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Looking for a new and fun way to visit and enjoy a destination? A sailing
vacation may be just what you are looking for. There is something about seeing a
place from the waterfront and arriving on a sailboat that really gives any place
a whole new perspective. So, even if you have traveled to the Greek islands, the
Croatian coast, or the Palma de Mallorca, doing so while on a boat, will allow
you to have an entirely new experience. Whether you want to rent a boat for a
day, rent a boat for a night or even live on a sailboat for a couple of days
during your refreshing vacation experience, today we will share the details on
what you need to rent a boat and make the most of your time in it.


BOAT RENTALS AND SAILBOAT EXPERIENCES IN EUROPE 

Boat rentals are a great and affordable way to travel around the mediterranean
while enjoying the most beautiful European water sights from a breath-taking
angle. In fact, with the pandemic creating constantly changing restrictions on
air and land travel, boating and sailing has become a more resourceful and
reliable way to travel. 



Companies like Navisyo, have made it their mission to empower boat-owners as
well as travelers. By connecting them and seamlessly making it a win-win
situation for both parties. Their easy-to-navigate platform allows travelers to
select the best boating experience at an affordable price, while helping
boat-owners survive during these difficult times. At the end of this post we
will explain three easy ways to save and select the perfect boat rental for your
vacation. First, we want to address some common questions and concerns in
regards to renting a boat in Europe


1. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO RENT A BOAT IN EUROPE?

 Since there are many Islands and places in Europe that are connected by water,
travel by water is more common and boating restrictions are less strict than in
America. Renting a boat is not hard and has become more and more common in many
areas of Europe. In fact to get started finding a boat to rent, in general, you
just need to know where you are renting the boat from, have some form of valid
ID and payment method. The price of the boating experience depends on many
factors, including where you want to go, the number of passengers, the hours or
dates, and the type of experience.

2. HOW OLD DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO SAIL A BOAT AND HOW OLD TO RENT A BOAT?

There are places in Europe where the acceptable driving age is 16 years and in
Italy someone as young as 14 years can drive a minicar. The age is not as low
for boating, but unlike in America where you have to be 21 years old in order to
sail on your own, in Europe the age is 18. This means that 18 year olds can
legally rent a boat and sail it if they have the proper training and license.
Now, that leads to the next commonly asked question: Do you need a boating
license to rent a boat?


3. DO YOU NEED A LICENSE TO RENT A BOAT?

The short answer is no, but this merits a more in-depth explanation.

BAREBOAT CHARTER VS. BOAT RENTAL WITH A CAPTAIN

You don’t technically need a license to rent a boat. In the case of a bareboat
charter or demise charter (where you are only renting the actual boat and no
crew or anything else) you would need to have someone with a boating license
sail it, whether that be yourself or a captain that you hire. Now, you need a
boating license to sail the boat yourself, but can you rent a boat without one?
Yes. 

Many boat rentals have the option to rent any type of boat along with the crew
and/or captain. In fact, companies like Navisyo have options where the boat
owner himself can sail the boat, give you a tour and share all the tricks and
tips to the boat they know so well. The best part is that since the boat is
theirs and they are seasoned sailors they will also joyfully share all their
favorite secret spots on the water and point out the best sights along the way,
freeing up your time to enjoy the scenery and company. Rest assured that when
you rent a boat and captain you are in good hands and they will explain all the
safety measures as well as assign life jackets and point out other safety
precautions.

BOATING SAFETY AND ASSOCIATIONS

If you are interested in learning to sail or getting your boating license, by
all means go for it, but keep in mind there are differences in each country so
be sure to check out your local boating association. If you live within the USA
and are interested in learning more about boating and safety the National
Association of State Boating Law Administrators is a national nonprofit
organization that works to develop public policy for recreational boating
safety. The National Association of State Boating Law Administrators offers
multiple resources on boat education along with approved boating education
courses and boating safety courses by state within the United States. For more
educational course lists on sailing other boat education resources be sure to
check-out their website at: www.nasbla.org/home 





4. WHERE CAN I RENT A BOAT IN EUROPE?


RENT A BOAT NEAR ME (YOU)

In Europe, if you find yourself near water, which you most likely will, there
isn’t a shortage of places where to rent a boat. Spain and Greece are some of
the best places to get an affordable deal and amazing experience. We strongly
suggest renting directly from boat owners as they are locals who know the best
land and water spots.  If you are looking to rent a boat for a day near me (you)
the best place to go is the marina but Navisyo makes it easy for you to rent a
boat directly from a boat owner. Their two locations of specialty are Spain and
Greece but no matter where you are planning your trip from, be sure to check
them out in order to get the best deal while saving time and money. 


5.  BEST PLACES WHERE YOU CAN RENT A BOAT FOR A GREAT EXPERIENCE?

BALEARIC ISLANDS: RENT A BOAT MALLORCA

The Balearic Islands are Spanish islands that are composed of four main islands
and some minor ones. The four main islands that make up the Balearic Islands
include: Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera. Palma de Mallorca is the
capital city of the Balearic Islands and you can rent a boat to live on in
Mallorca while you travel the ocean, or rent a boat in Barcelona and sail to the
Islands. If you are looking for a more active and party destination renting a
boat from the Balearic Islands and sailing to Ibiza might be a good option as
Ibiza is well known for its nightclubs as an “international party destination.”

CROATIAN COAST: RENT A BOAT CROATIA

Renting a boat in Croatia can be quite an adventure. You can visit the beautiful
Croatian coast and take advantage of the distance to also visit the nearby areas
of Italy. Keep in mind that to drive a boat in the territorial waters of the
Republic of Croatia you must be in possession of a valid navigation license
which must include VHF radio license: international license. license of his
country obtained according to law, or. Croatian license. Here is a travel guide
to the best nautical routes in the Adriatic Sea.

GREEK ISLAND: RENT A BOAT GREECE



Renting a boat in Greece can enhance your experience of its beautiful sights and
enchanting Greek Islands. Many boat owners offer breath-taking sunset
experiences in Greece as well as romantic getaways where you can also rent a
boat for a night. In fact, you can find local boat owners that can tailor the
experiences for you and work with you to create truly captivating and
picture-perfect sunset experiences or family experiences. These can range from
1hr to 5 or 8 hrs depending on the type of boat and experience. Take a look at
some local boat rental offerings: HERE.
