Boat Charters

Boat charters offer one of the best ways to explore the beautiful Costa Blanca coastline. There is a fantastic coastal path that runs all the way from Torrevieja to the far border of Orihuela Costa. This gives visitors a great aspect of the coast from the shore with wonderful views along the way. However, to fully appreciate the sheer diversity of the coastline, you can’t beat the views from the sea. Boat charters allow you and your friends to choose a variety of adventures.

Torrevieja Boat Charters

Many visitors to Torrevieja don’t even consider arranging a boat charter. The simple fact is, they see big dollar signs. Agreeably, berthing and maintenance fees are high. So are the fees for your skipper and fuel. However, when chartering a boat with the full capacity of passengers the cost is not really that bad. Consider what you pay for a 15 minute ride on a jet ski. Even more costly is a 20 minute session on a flyboard. All in all, chartering a boat for a full or half day when the cost is split between 10 or 12 people works out a lot cheaper than you think.

Tabarca Island Boat Charters
