Spending a family day out on an unlicensed boat in Palamós can be a wonderful and memorable experience. Here are some of the advantages and aspects to consider to ensure your day is perfect:
- Freedom of exploration: Chartering a boat without a licence gives you the freedom to sail at your own pace and explore coves and beaches inaccessible by land. You can stop to swim in crystal clear waters, snorkel in quiet coves or simply enjoy the sun and the open sea.
- Activities on board: Boats are usually equipped with everything you need for an adventurous day at sea. Many include equipment for snorkelling and sometimes for other water sports such as paddle surfing. These activities are fun for all ages and allow children and adults to enjoy the marine environment together.
- Planning and safety: Although you do not need a licence to operate these types of boats, it is essential to have some basic knowledge of navigation and maritime safety. Charter companies offer a short training before setting sail, explaining how to handle the boat and what to do in case of an emergency. Make sure you follow all instructions and recommendations for a safe day out.
- Comfort and convenience: These boats are designed to be easy to handle and safe for beginners. However, it is important to check that the size and type of boat suits your family’s needs, including the availability of shade and enough space to sit and move around comfortably.
- Opportunity to unwind: Spending a day at sea allows you to disconnect from the daily routine and enjoy nature. It is a great way to strengthen family bonds, share new experiences and create lasting memories.
- Essential preparations: Don’t forget to bring sunscreen, plenty of water, some food or snacks, towels and, of course, boat rental companies include life jackets for everyone on board. It can also be useful to have a map of the area and a charged mobile phone for emergencies or to use marine navigation apps.
A day out on a boat can be the perfect combination of adventure, relaxation and family time. Just make sure you take the necessary precautions and be prepared to adapt to the conditions of the day, and it’s sure to be an unforgettable experience for everyone.
