Spain boasts over 8,000 km of coastline, making it an ideal sailing destination. The Costa Brava features hidden coves like Cala Sa Tuna and Cala Pola, perfect for anchoring. On the Costa del Sol, Marbella stands out with its golden beaches. The Balearic Islands are a nautical paradise, with Ibiza and the famous Cala Comte, as well as Mallorca and its stunning Playa de Muro. On the Atlantic coast, Galicia’s Rías Baixas offer routes through cliffs and sandy beaches. Spain blends sailing, history, and gastronomy in every journey.
If spending most of your time sailing is your thing, you’re in the right place. We’re going to recommend some of the most spectacular boat routes along the Spanish coast. You’ll discover hidden coves and dreamy beaches in the heart of the Mediterranean, perfect for anchoring, soaking up the sun at your own pace, and taking a refreshing dip. Because when you're sailing, every stop can become your favorite corner of the trip.
If you're wondering what to do in Spain aboard a boat, don’t worry, you won’t be short on ideas. There’s something for everyone here: culture, entertainment, gastronomy… and above all, freedom.

The fastest and most common way is by plane. Spain has an extensive network of international airports:
You can also arrive by train from France, with direct lines Paris–Barcelona or Lyon–Barcelona. From there, you can connect to other cities via the AVE high-speed network.
By road from France or Portugal, you can travel by car or bus on well-connected highways.
By sea, there are ferries from Italy (to Barcelona), Morocco (to Algeciras or Almería), and regular connections between the Balearic Islands and the mainland.
It all depends on the area you choose to sail. Sailing the Mediterranean is not the same as sailing the Atlantic Ocean.
Even so, if you're looking for good weather, favorable sailing conditions, and long sunny days, the best time to sail in Spain is from May to October. That’s when the sea and sky align to give you unforgettable journeys!
To sail in Spain, you need a boating license from your country that is officially recognized for sailing in Spain.
Each one allows you to handle different types of boats and navigate at varying distances from the coast. So, depending on the license you hold, we’ll recommend the rental options that best suit you. Enjoy the sea!
