Northern Costa Brava
What can you do with a no-licence boat in Roses?
More than you might expect. Setting off from the Santa Margarita canals is already an experience in itself: waterfront houses and a unique atmosphere you can only discover from the water. The Bay of Roses and Cap de Creus are just minutes away. You choose the route, the pace and the stops — no fixed timetables, no strangers sharing the boat.
Here are some spots you can explore at your own pace:
Santa Margarita Canals
The departure point and one of the most singular sights on the northern Costa Brava. Waterfront houses and a truly unique setting.
Bay of Roses
Calm waters, perfect for first-timers and families with children. Incredible views.
Cala Canyelles Petites
One of the most beautiful coves of Cap de Creus, reachable by boat.
Cala Almadraba
Crystal-clear water and very quiet outside peak season.
Cap de Creus Natural Park
The most spectacular landscape of the Costa Brava, seen from the water.
Fully private — only your group on board
This is perhaps the most important difference. When you rent a no-licence boat with Experience Boat, the vessel is exclusively for your group. No strangers, no shared timetables, no adapting your itinerary around another family.
It's the most free way to enjoy the sea in Roses: leave when you want, stop where you want, return when you feel like it.

Marina de Santa Margarita, Roses
