He boat rental without license in Mallorca It has two possible paths. One: rent a small boat of less than 5 meters and an engine less than 15 HP — these are the only ones that can be legally taken without a nautical license. And two—the one we recommend to most of our clients—rent a real big boat with professional pattern included: just as legally agile, infinitely more experience on board.

At ECC Yacht Charter we do not operate small boats without a license. We operate a fleet of 15 boats in Mallorca —sailboats from 38 to 55 feet and two Lagoon catamarans—and any of them can be hired with professional pattern. You embark as a passenger, you don't need any qualifications, and discover Mallorca aboard a boat that feels like a floating hotel.

If what you strictly need is a boat less than 5 m and <15 HP For a specific departure of a few hours, we are not your option — but we can guide you. If you are looking for the real experience of a day (or a week) sailing the Balearic Islands without having to get any qualification, we are exactly who you need. The season runs from May to October.

The available fleet

The 15 boats in the fleet — all with skipper included

Lagoon sailboats and catamarans in La Lonja Marina, Palma. Select a boat and we will confirm a professional skipper without you needing any qualifications.

Why with pattern

Why a boat with a skipper is worth more than a boat without a license

The best known "without a license" option is to rent a small, uncomfortable and unsafe boat. The option we recommend: a real boat with a professional captain at the helm.

🧭

The skipper knows the real coves

Without a license, you stay 3 miles from the coast afraid of hitting bottom. With a professional skipper he takes you to Cabrera, Es Pontás, Cala Varques, Cala Mondragó — the corners that only locals know how to anchor.

🛏️

Large ship space

Large deck, living room with air conditioning, cabins with bathroom, equipped kitchen. A day (or a week) in a 12m sailboat or a Lagoon catamaran It is another league compared to a boat without a license.

🛡️

Real safety on board

The employer is a qualified professional with civil liability insurance. If the wind changes or a problem arises, you know exactly what to do. You don't have to pay attention to the weather, the charts or the engine.

🍽️

You enjoy, he works

While the skipper maneuvers, you eat, bathe, talk to your guests, hire optional catering or enjoy a sunset on boat with a drink in hand.

⏱️

No legal power limit

Boats without a license are limited to 15 HP — for Mallorca it is very little. With a skipper you take a complete sailboat or catamaran, with a real engine and autonomy to reach any point in the Balearic Islands.

📅

Any format

A day trip, a weekend or a whole week Saturday to Saturday. The pattern adapts to the duration and itinerary you decide.
