Rent a boat for up to five people from Costa de la Calma and cruise the Santa Ponsa coast without a boating license. Adrian, Juan, Marcelo, and other staff explain the controls, suggest calm coves, and help dock on return. Snorkeling gear and two refrigerators are included.

“Heads up we are both mid 60’s. Adrian kept us updated to get us to the boat, Juan explained everything. Controls, safety, emergency contact, downloaded a good route for 2 hrs and left us feeling in control. Boat controls were easy and route extremely satisfying. Snorkelling was in calm waters and even my wife felt safe to swim safely and get back on board without the boat drifting away. There is a knack to getting back on board with the small ladder. The roof gives good sun protection and we could have stayed out all day, we thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely do again.”
