Should I have a skipper on board my private boat charter in Alicante?

At Scansail we have a large fleet of yacht rentals in Alicante both with or without a skipper however, we always recommend choosing a vessel with a skipper. Skippered vessels are the best option for a worry-free holiday. Skippers are licenced professionals who will dock, anchor and navigate the vessel for you so you can sit back and relax, enjoying time with the ones you love. Having a skipper on board not only gives you peace of mind, but it’s also like having a private tour guide. Skippers are usually locals, so they can show you all of the most sought-after spots in Alicante, and make sure that you see everything on your travel itinerary.

What type of boat should I choose for my yacht rental in Alicante?

The type of vessel that you choose for your private yacht charter in Alicante will depend on the duration of your holiday and your anticipated needs. For a shorter holiday of less than a week, we’d recommend a daily charter such as a RIB or a motorboat. If you’re planning a holiday of a week or more you’ll need a vessel that is spacious and fully equipped with all of the necessary amenities to accommodate you throughout your stay. Catamarans and yachts are great choices for a longer holiday with family or friends. If you’re an avid sailor and you like the challenge of navigating the wind and the waves, you might like a sailboat however, they can be unstable on the water so they aren’t suitable for people who are prone to seasickness or novice sailors.
