Estartit Rent a Boat - Alquiler de barcos en L'Estartit

Estartit Rent a Boat is a boat rental company based in the port of L'Estartit, in the heart of the Costa Brava (Girona). Its fleet ranges from small boats that don’t require a license to 17-meter yachts, including RIBs, sport boats, and jet skis. Its location across from the Medes Islands—one of the most important marine reserves in the Mediterranean—makes every outing a unique experience.

Boats That Don’t Require a License

For those without a boating license, Estartit Rent a Boat offers 4- to 5-meter boats that do not require a license:

• Marinello 16 and Trimarchi 53S: stable and easy-to-handle boats, ideal for exploring the coves near the port with complete independence. Powered by low-horsepower outboard motors, they’re perfect for families and small groups who want to discover the coast at their own pace.
• The rental includes a safety briefing, a life jacket for each passenger, and route recommendations.

Boats Requiring a License

For those with a PER license or higher, the fleet includes speedboats and vessels of greater length and power:

• Invictus, Sessa, and Pacific Craft: models ranging from 6 to 9 meters with powerful engines, ideal for quickly reaching remote coves such as Cala Montgó, Sa Tuna, Aiguablava, or even Cadaqués.
• Pacific Craft 750 Open: accommodates up to 12 passengers, with a bimini top, cockpit table, and plenty of space for a full day at sea.
• Horizon E54 (17 meters): the premium option in the fleet, a yacht with a cabin, bathroom, kitchen, and capacity for full-day excursions or even overnight stays.

Water Scooters and Jet Skis

Rent water scooters with or without a guide to cruise along the coast at high speed. A popular choice among young groups and couples seeking an adrenaline rush.

Excursions to the Medes Islands

Estartit Rent a Boat organizes guided excursions to the Medes Islands, where you can anchor, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, and observe the abundant marine life in the reserve. The excursions include the boat, a guide, and snorkeling gear.

Water Sports

In addition to boat rentals, they offer water sports activities:

• Paddleboarding and kayaking: hourly rentals to explore the coast from the water.
• Wake-skis and donuts: water towing with a support boat.
• Sea scooters: underwater propulsion devices to explore the seabed with minimal effort.

Boating License Courses

For those who want to obtain their license, Estartit Rent a Boat collaborates with local boating schools and can provide guidance on the courses available to obtain a boating license or the PER.

Electric Bikes

A unique complementary service: electric bike rentals to explore L’Estartit and the Montgrí Natural Park by land before or after your boat trip.
