Open Boats - Alquiler de barcos sin licencia en Sant Antoni

Open Boats is a license-free boat rental company based at the Sant Antoni de Portmany marina on the west coast of Ibiza. They own their own boats, so the best prices are on their own website, with no middlemen or commissions. For those with a PNB license or higher, they also rent two RIBs with 40 and 115 CV engines.

These aren’t just basic boats: they offer style, comfort, and safety.

• Element E5: 5 meters long with a very eye-catching design.

40 and 115 CV RIBs, fully equipped and up to 7 meters long, for you to operate yourself if you have the proper license. They are larger and more powerful, so you can go farther in less time.
