May–OctBalearic Season
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.

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.

What boats can I rent without a license in Mallorca?
Legally, without a nautical license of any kind, you can only drive boats less than 5 m in length with an engine less than 15 HP. They are very small boats, designed for short distances.
