What is the best time to rent a boat in Portisco?

The best time to go on a boat charter in Portisco is during the spring and summer months, from May to September. During this time, the weather is warm and sunny, and the sea is generally calm and favourable for sailing. You can expect temperatures to range between 23°C and 30°C, and the sea is warm enough for swimming.

Of course, the summer months are the most popular for sailing and other water activities in Portisco, as the weather is at its warmest and driest, and the sea is typically calm. However, it is also the busiest time of year, so if you prefer a quieter sailing experience, you may want to consider visiting during the tail ends of high season in May or September. The weather will still be warm, it will be less crowded and if you’re lucky, you’ll get better deals on Portisco yacht charters!

Do I need a skipper on board my Portisco boat rental?

If you have a sailing licence, it may not be mandatory to charter a boat in Portisco with a skipper however, we always recommend having a skipper on board for a more enjoyable journey. Skippers are nautical professionals that will dock, anchor and sail the vessel for you or, if you have a licence and prefer to do it yourself, they can serve as an extra set of hands for added security. If you don’t have a sailing licence not to worry, skippers will handle everything out on the water so that you can sit back, relax and have peace of mind.

But perhaps the best part about having a skipper on board is that they are locals of the area and can give you recommendations about where to go and what to do and show you some hidden gems in the city you might not have otherwise known about. For a more personalised and smooth sailing holiday choose a skippered yacht charter in Portisco.

What type of boat is best for my yacht charter in Portisco?

The vessel that you choose for your Portisco boat charter will depend on how much time you plan to spend on board the vessel. For shorter holidays of only a few days, we’d recommend a daily charter such as a motorboat or a RIB, since they are fast and they can help you see many of the most sought-after sights in no time. For a longer holiday of a week or more we’d recommend a more spacious vessel such as a catamaran or a yacht. These boats are typically rented by the week and they are the perfect vessel to accommodate all of your needs since they often include amenities on board such as a kitchen, bathroom and cabins for your comfort. If you’re an avid sailor you might be keen on renting a sailboat as these vessels are the best for an authentic and traditional sailing experience however, we always recommend choosing one with a skipper since they tend to be tricky to navigate.

No matter what sort of vessel you’re looking for, you’ll find the ideal one at Nautal. Start your yacht charter in Portisco the right way and book now!
