Main ports in Spain besides Ibiza

Among the marinas in Spain and Ibiza, with a greater power of attraction, we found the following:

Real Club Marítimo del Abra (Bilbao)

This marina is far from Ibiza. It is located in the heart of Las Arenas, a Biscayan town in Guecho, it has a privileged location. It is possible to combine the use of its functional social and sports facilities, with the advantage of quick access to the urban center. It is integrated into the set called ABRA, Bilbao, and offers a comfortable stay and great tourist and sports interest, with bar, restaurant for 400 people, lounges, nightclub, paddle court, sauna, squash, gym, indoor pool, etc.

It has 300 moorings, for boats between 6 and 25 meters. In addition to repair and cleaning service for landings, fixed crane for small boats, Travel-lift, fuel supply, WiFi, etc.

Fishing on kayak in the sea

Sea kayak fishing is a booming sports practice and you can do it from one of our rental boats in Ibiza. Although it is more than 3,000 years old, it has been in this last decade when this type of fishing has become more important internationally. Originating in the Eskimo culture, the ‘ka i ak’ (man boat), is an activity that currently knows no borders and is practiced with the same level of popularity in all corners of the world. Most of our charter boats in Ibiza offers a kayak. A fishing style with a series of very particular characteristics that we present in this post so you can enjoy this aquatic activity with all the guarantees of success and safety.

Basic information on boat delivery

The usual thing is that the transport of charter boats in Ibiza is carried out in its natural environment, that is, by water. When the distances between the departure point and the arrival point are short, that is the usual mode of delivery. But there are special situations, in which either for a matter of time or a matter of distance, it may be wise to take the boat out of the water and take it to its destination point by land, through the use of a trailer.

There are many situations in which the boat delivery occurs by land: when we acquire a new or used boat, depending on where the boat is located, the owner of the same will have to use a trailer to get the ship to the point wanted. When nautical fairs are organized anywhere in the world, a well-organized logistics infrastructure is required to ensure that vessels can enter the country in question to be exposed to potential buyers.

Watch out!!

Boat locator

The sea is one of the most vast areas and with the least bordering limitations, therefore, if you own ships or boats, it is very important to know your location and trajectory. Nowadays, all this is possible and simple thanks to technology. It is also very useful for rental boats in Ibiza. There are several applications and web pages that offer boat location services equipped with AIS systems, an economic system, novel, efficient and with a range of surprising coverage.

Deposit Refund due to Coronavirus 2022 Season

In CharterAlia, we will go far and beyond to assure you have the best possible experience aboard our rental boats. Unfortunately, there are times when we face circumstances completely out of our control, like the current Covid-19 situation.

We are offering 100% FULL REFUND of your deposit through in case your country of residence issues an official prohibition to fly into Ibiza Island due to Covid-19 the day of your booking. Applied for cancellations up to one week before the booking date.

To offer all the flexibility we can, we’ll also move your booking to a later date if the client prefers. Please note that this is subject to availability and that further charges may apply depending on the time of season.

Let’s all hope for the best!

Voucher activation

What happens if you need to cancel but you still are planning on coming on another time? No worries, we have it all under control 🙂

This voucher works simply: we mark your booking status as “cancelled with voucher” so we know that we have a deposit saved from you. No need for official files or codes! We are a small company so these things usually don’t get lost.

Non-Expirable Voucher

The best part is, this voucher does not expire ever. It can be used for any time-slot, high or low season. The process is very simple 😉

This voucher is personal and linked to the email address or phone number of the person who made the payment and was listed as the holder of the cancelled booking. While it can be transferred and used by friends or family, it is strictly forbidden to sell, trade, or use the voucher for commercial purposes or as a promotional tool for third-party businesses.

Once you get in touch with us for a new booking, we’ll give you a quotation for the new booking and we will subtract the amount of the voucher.

To secure the booking, we ask the customers to complete what’s left to pay for the booking (after voucher).

Vouchers can only be redeemed for any boat owned directly by CharterAlia. Vouchers cannot be redeemed for third parties’ boats regardless of the original booking.

If the new booking costs less than the current voucher, it’ll be necessary to still secure the booking with a payment of 400 euro (minimum for deposits), and the remaining balance will be kept on the voucher for later use.

The voucher can only be used for the same time frame the client booked originally. For instance, a voucher generated by a full day can be used only for full day bookings.

Likewise, if the voucher has been generated with an overnight stay, it must be applied to the same number of days or more to the original booking.

If your voucher was for a combo of two boats and your new request is for one boat, we’ll use only half of the voucher (corresponding to one boat)

When can I use this voucher?

In order to avoid having a group cancel to get a voucher and do a new booking for last minute prices, the voucher is valid a month after it has been issued.

Other than that, you’re completely free to use the voucher as you so desire 🙂

If you want to know more about this, please send us a message at info@charteralia.com where we’ll answer all your questions.

How to sail with a catamaran

The catamarans have become popular during the last years in the industry of boat hires in Ibiza. Catamarans have gained increasing prominence in holiday navigation. In fact, at a particular level, there are many shipowners who opt for multihulls when buying a boat.

Basically, a catamaran is a sailing or motorsports boat, consisting of two elongated and narrow hulls that are joined by a platform. They do not have ballast, so they are a lighter type of boat than monohulls, in addition to being more stable and safe. Although catamarans can be motor and sail, the most common is that they have an engine in each helmet.
