How much does it cost to rent a boat in Fuerteventura?

Rent a catamaran in Fuerteventura

Pros of renting a catamaran in Fuerteventura

A catamaran charter in Fuerteventura is great for anyone who wants to enjoy the flexibility and fun of sailing on a sailboat, but prefers the comfort of a motorboat. Catamarans have both a sail and an engine, making them extremely flexible. You don’t have to rely on the wind as much as you would with another type of boat.

Another advantage of a catamaran rental in Fuerteventura is the fact that they are a lot more comfortable and spacious than other types of boats. Standing on two hulls allows for more space on board and on deck, making you feel like you’re in a hotel room rather than on board a boat in a little cabin.

Rent a catamaran in Fuerteventura if you are prone to seasickness. Catamarans are a lot more stable than other types of boats, particularly thanks to the two hulls they are standing on.

Cons of renting a catamaran in Fuerteventura

Although there are very many advantages to renting a catamaran in Fuerteventura, there are also some downsides to it. Catamarans are quite big in size which might come with some difficulties when trying to find a spot for mooring. And even if you are lucky enough to secure a spot for mooring at the marinas, you might struggle to get there. Catamarans are definitely not easy to maneuver in small and narrow spots. Plus: It will most likely cost you extra - after all, you’re taking up more space than a regular sized boat.

Another downside of chartering a catamaran in Fuerteventura can be the fact that catamarans are not as fast as other types of boats. The fact that they are lighter can slow them down significantly.

Rent a sailboat in Fuerteventura

Pros of renting a sailboat in Fuerteventura

Rent a sailboat in Fuerteventura if you want to feel the wind of the wild Atlantic ocean on your skin and step back in time to experience the thrill of sailing on the wild sea just as much as the adventurers of the 17th and 18th century.

A sailboat charter in Fuerteventura is the perfect choice for anyone who cares about the environment and wants to sail more sustainably. As sailboats solely run on wind, they don’t produce any additional CO2-emissions. This makes them a sustainable and affordable choice for a boat charter in Fuerteventura.

Cons of renting a sailboat in Fuerteventura

One of the downsides of a sailboat charter in Fuerteventura is equally one of the advantages: You can only sail with the wind. This makes them highly dependent on mother nature and her moods and might mean that you either can’t sail as the winds are way too strong and sailing becomes too dangerous as a consequence or you might not be able to sail at all, because the winds are simply not strong enough.
