Boat rental without license in Can Pastilla: Explore Bay of Palma

Steer your own boat through hidden coves without needing a license

Rent a license-free motorboat for four or eight hours from Can Pastilla in Mallorca, boarding at Maritime Club pontoon F. You navigate the Bay of Palma's coves, beaches, caves and cliffs at your own pace with up to five other passengers. Insurance is included, and fuel costs extra.

The experience

The boat handles easily even if you've never operated one before. You pick up at the Maritime Club in Can Pastilla and head out into the bay on your own terms: no guide, no fixed itinerary, just the water and the landmarks you want to reach. The coves and caves around Palma are close enough that a morning or afternoon rental gets you real exploring time without committing to a full day on the water.

You'll need to cover fuel separately (20 euros for a four-hour rental, 30 euros for eight hours), and the operator holds a 500-euro deposit that returns when you bring the boat back. Specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with small children. The boat fits up to six people, so a family or small group splits the rental cost and makes all the navigation decisions together.

What’s included

• Insurance with franchise.
• boat rental for four or eight hours.
• specialized infant seats available upon request.
