Boat Rental with Licence in the Bay of Roses
The Bay of Roses by boat · Private rental · Departure from Santa Margarita
The Bay of Roses is one of the most beautiful and sheltered sailing destinations on the Costa Brava. Thirteen kilometres of coastline, protected from the north wind by the Cape of Creus massif, with waters calm enough for relaxed navigation — ideal for practicing with a fresh or newly acquired licence. You can sail close to the coast at your own pace, anchor in solitary coves and take in the Pyrenees panorama from the sea.
