Costa Brava Rent Boat - Alquiler de barcos en Platja d'Aro

Costa Brava Rent Boat is a boat rental company based at the Club Nàutic Port d'Aro in Platja d'Aro (Girona). With a fleet of 13 boats ranging from 6 to 35 meters in length, they offer options for all budgets and group sizes, from a couple looking to explore coves to a corporate event with more than 20 guests.

Fleet

The variety of the fleet is one of Costa Brava Rent Boat’s strengths:

• 6–7-meter boats: agile motorboats for groups of up to 7 people, ideal for exploring the coves of Platja d’Aro, Palamós, and Sant Feliu de Guíxols on a half-day trip.
• 8–10-meter motorboats: boats with more space and amenities (awning, cooler, swim ladder), perfect for a full day at sea with family or friends.
• 12–15-meter boats: yachts with a cabin, bathroom, and sun deck, for longer trips or special outings.
• 35-meter yacht: the premium option, with capacity for up to 21 people, ideal for events, celebrations, and exclusive experiences with every luxury on board.

Bareboat Charter

For customers with a boating license (PER or higher), Costa Brava Rent Boat offers bareboat charter, which allows the skipper to design their own route and operate the boat with complete freedom. Included are:

• Safety briefing and familiarization with the vessel.
• Route recommendations based on the weather forecast and the group’s preferences.
• Complete safety equipment, beach loungers, a cooler, and snorkeling gear.
• Telephone assistance throughout the trip.

Private Tours with a Skipper

For those without a license or who simply prefer to relax without worrying about navigation, private tours include:

• Professional skipper who knows every cove, cave, and nook along the coast between Blanes and Palamós.
• All-inclusive package: drinks, snacks, snorkeling gear, and towels.
• Customized itineraries based on the group’s interests: secluded coves, coastal villages, sunsets, anchoring for swimming, etc.
• Option to add culinary experiences (stop at a seaside restaurant) or water sports.

Sailing Areas

From Platja d’Aro, you can easily reach some of the most beautiful stretches of coastline on the Costa Brava:
