Next summer, renting any boat will require a license. Get it with us

If you have enjoyed sailing with us without a license this year or in previous years, or if you are interested in doing so next year, we want to let you know that it will be essential to have a license to rent any boat. At Club Nàutic Estartit, we make it as easy as possible for you so that you can continue renting boats with us without any problems.

Why do you need a license for next summer?

According to the new regulation, next summer you will not be able to rent boats without presenting a valid license. This means that if you plan to sail with us in the future, you’ll need to take one of the courses very soon!
