Discover the thrill of captaining your own boat in Valencia without needing a license, plus enjoy access to a relaxing beach club and stunning coastal views.
Thinking about experiencing the Mediterranean from a different perspective? Imagine being your own captain, cruising along the Valencian coast in a no-license-required boat, with the option to unwind at a stylish beach club afterward. This self-driving boat rental offers a rare chance to enjoy the water without the need for nautical qualifications, making it accessible for many travelers seeking a mix of adventure and relaxation.
What we love most about this experience is the freedom to explore at your own pace, combined with the opportunity to relax at the Cala Blava Beach Club, which boasts a lovely pool area for a well-earned rest. That said, it’s worth noting that weather conditions can impact your plans, so you might need to be flexible with timing or dates. This tour really caters to those who want a hands-on, fun day on the water without the hassle of licensing or extensive training, making it ideal for families, couples, or groups of friends wanting to create their own coastal adventure.


The rental package from LOWCOST CHARTER offers good value, especially considering the inclusive features. It includes a modern rigid boat, the Dubhe Arena 455, and safety gear like life jackets. You’ll also receive a brief instruction session from friendly instructors to show you how to operate the boat safely. The only costs outside the fixed price are petrol (€10 per hour) and any extras like sun loungers, drinks, or sunbeds, which you pay directly at the beach club.
The €100 deposit is a standard safety measure, refunded upon return if the boat is in perfect condition. This gives peace of mind, knowing that no hidden damage costs will surprise you later.
