Manalua

Yes — every boat on charter.boats is insured by its operator; we require it. The policy covers the vessel for fire, collision and third-party liability. You're only responsible for damage it doesn't cover, and that's capped at the security deposit. Operator terms: Damage repairs charged per schedule: fiberglass scrape 125€ each, toilet blockage 475€ each, other work 38€/hour, drying and washing from 220V cable in water 125€ each.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~60 HP engines burn roughly 4.8 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 101 L ≈ €173 at €1.71/L — scale it to your own plans. Many skippers run one engine on passage to roughly halve fuel use — ask your operator if that’s fine for your boat.

A recognised sailing licence is required, with an ICC typically requested for non-Spanish skippers chartering a bareboat.

Yes, a weekly charter includes up to 60 nautical miles. Any miles beyond that are charged at 0.95 EUR per mile based on the GPS log, so plan longer trips like a round trip to Ibiza with that in mind.

You are responsible for arranging the necessary permits to embark or disembark at any port other than the home base in Valencia. Without authorisation from the relevant port authority, boarding or leaving at another port is not permitted.

If a storm warning is issued before departure, we will look for new dates within the available fleet. If a warning comes after you have set off, you must return to base if we ask you to, and ignoring that instruction means losing your deposit even if no damage occurs.

Technical assistance is only guaranteed at the home base. If a breakdown happens while you are at the islands, we cannot guarantee a repair until the boat returns to base.

Yes. For a bareboat (no skipper) charter, your booking is only confirmed once we have reviewed and accepted the proposed skipper's sailing licence and record of nautical experience.

One of Valencia's oldest and most storied sailing clubs, the Real Club Nàutic de València has been part of the city's seafront since 1903, sitting right in the heart of the Port of Valencia. Read more →
