Borrow A Boat is the best place to find and rent boats of all sorts, from a canal and riverboat across Europe to a sailing boat, motorboat, catamaran across North America, the Mediterranean, Caribbean and further afield, along with some of the world&#x27;s most impressive superyachts and luxury yacht charters.<h2>Boats or Yachts Available For Rent Or Charter In [location_name]</h2>Where it comes to chartering or renting boats in [location_name] below is a list of the typical types of boats that you can hire on Borrow A Boat with a description of the boat type. If you can&#x27;t find the individual boat charter you are looking for when you do a search in [location name] it&#x27;s worthwhile searching nearby locations as your chosen boat type might be available nearby.When searching a geographical area on Borrow A Boat you can filter by the below boat types. There is also the option to further filter your searches by price, the number of guests, cabins or bathrooms, what year the boat or sailing yacht was launched, the boat length and the boat manufacturer.Sailboat: From €120/£100/$135 a day up to whatever you can afford, monohull sailing yachts are fun to sail at all points of the wind and an affordable way to get around if your island hopping or finding your own secluded coves or sandy beaches along with longer cruises. Sizes range from those for a couple or small family to a full sized luxury charter yacht.Catamaran: Luxury catamarans are stable and spacious, with quick sailing performance, and have been gaining in popularity in recent years. Better for larger groups, they have lots of room for water toys, and are big enough for a little privacy. A catamaran charter is easy and comfortable for novices not used to heeling and are loved by families due to their extra space when compared to a monohull. Typically far more luxurious than a sailboat the larger catamarans have en suite toilets and showers in the staterooms as well as ample entertaining space in the saloon and on deck.Power Catamaran: These types of boats are relatively new but have also been gaining in popularity as the two hulls keep the boat more stable when compared to a monohull. The wider beam also means more deck space and as they don&#x27;t have sails or a mast, they have a lot more space on deck than a sailing catamaran rental or monohull. For a luxury catamaran charter, consider taking a crewed catamaran charter sailing vacation with an experienced captain.Luxury Yacht: Luxury yacht charters are available for either a sailing yacht (sailboat), catamaran or motorboat and will have a crew and host/hostess on hand to cater for whatever your needs are along with a captain who will have a detailed knowledge of your cruising area. On a crewed yacht charter of this kind you get to create your own personal itinerary and will have far greater range than on other boats which allows for lots of variety in how you travel and what you do.Superyacht: A superyacht or sometimes called mega yacht are boats which are least 24 metres (79 feet) in length up to 180 metres (590 feet) and can either be sailing yachts (sailboats) or motorboats. These types of boats are most frequently found in the Med of Caribbean and due to their size they will have a large chartering area and can typically pick you up from whatever location you require rather than you being required to get to a set marina to start your charter. They are fully crewed with professional staff who will cater for your every need along with a captain who will have extensive knowledge of your chosen cruising areas.Motorboat: This covers a wide variety of boats from a motor yacht with cabins to a private boat trip for a fishing trip but all of the these are comfortable seagoing boats with a kick of speed should you want to cover a bigger distance on the day.​RIB: Very much day boats for fishing and day cruising, RIBs are a lot of fun for a day afloat. They can be very quick and are great should you be in a town on holiday and fancy seeing the coast or finding secluded sandy beaches to get away from it all. <h2>Captained Yacht Charter or Bareboat</h2>When it comes to boat rental or yacht charter in [location_name] you typically have two choices - bareboat yacht rental or captained yacht charter.When using Borrow A Boat you can filter all boat searches to be with or without a captain depending on what you are looking for and below we cover some of the main points to consider for your boat rental.Captained Charter: A captained yacht charter gives you the advantage of being able to get afloat without having to invest in getting sailing qualifications before hand. For a monohull sailing yacht you will pay €120/£100/$135 plus a day extra for the captain, as well as their food and a tip at the end.When you get to a luxury yacht or superyacht charter with crew these prices will increase and costs also depend on where you plan to sail to along with the size and type of boat rental on your sailing holiday.In some cases captains will also be the yacht or boat owners (typically day trips) which means they will know all the best secluded beaches to show you the best that the area has to offer with their local knowledge.For day trips you will often be able to use a captain as well and prices will vary depending on the type of boat.Bareboat Yacht Charter: For skilled sailors, a bareboat charter is cheaper and gives more privacy for you and your charter guests. Many sailors prefer to be helming the boat while choosing their own course, and provided you have the knowledge and relevant qualifications you can captain these boats (typically up to 54 feet/16.5 metres in length) yourself.​<h2>Do You Need A Licence To Charter A Yacht In [location_name]</h2>If you are on a gulet or captained yacht charter you do not need a license to sail a yacht out of [location_name].

Yacht Charter and Boat Rentals in Lisbon

<h2>Yacht Charter In Lisbon</h2>On a Lisbon yacht charter with Borrow a Boat you can explore much of the Portuguese Riviera and Atlantic Coast of Portugal within an easy sail. Whatever you want from a Portugal yacht charter, from enjoying the vibrant culture to beautiful beaches, a Lisbon sailing holiday is going to be an unforgettable experience. Regularly voted to be among the top five city break capitals of Europe, Lisbon&#x27;s ancient streets and cosmopolitan culture make for a great place to unwind. One of the great things about the city is that it isn&#x27;t as popular as other major capitals like Barcelona or Paris. This means that you will see an authentic side of Portugal right from the start. Inhabited for Millennia thanks to its strategic position on the Atlantic Coast and the sheltered Tagus River, Lisbon has been an important maritime trading capital for much of human history. In the 1500s Ferdinand Magellan completed the world&#x27;s first round the world voyage out of the city, both a product of the country&#x27;s maritime might and enabling Portugal to forever be one of the world&#x27;s most important trading nations. Today you will find narrow, hilly streets with all sorts of trappings of wealth from empires past, traditional dining and cuisine that will suit every pocket and taste! For those on a yachting holiday you should pay a visit to the riverside district of Belem that is both the greenest part of Lisbon in terms of parks and has the most maritime trading and historical sites in the city. Though it can be a bit busy in high summer, if you enjoy a culture fix, this is not to be missed.<h2>Explore Lisbon By Renting A Yacht</h2>There is so much to take in on a Lisbon yacht charter you are genuinely spoiled for choice. While a sailing holiday to the far off islands of Madeira or the Azores would be better done on a separate sailing holiday, there is plenty to see closer to your Lisbon base. Sailing from one of the many marinas on the Tagus River you can firstly get to the renowned seaside town of Cascais with its small town feel right next to the beautiful beaches of the Atlantic Ocean coast of the Portuguese Riviera. The Ria Formosa islands and the nearby port city of Faro, to the south of Lisbon are another great destination on your sailing holiday. The Ria Formosa river estuary and islands, just off the Algarve, are kept for a large part as a national park - in the subtropical climate, a quiet paradise. Faro itself is the capital of the region and though smaller than Lisbon itself is a worthwhile midpoint of a longer sailing holiday out of Lisbon. To the north of Lisbon is the Douro Valley, the centre of Britain&#x27;s favourite Port wine production and almost worth a week or two exploring in its own right. Porto is the main urban centre and with the NE trade winds a worthy destination after blasting up the West Coast of the country. <h2>How To Get To Lisbon</h2><h3>Lisbon Airport</h3>Airlines from all over Europe, the US and beyond fly into Lisbon Airport that is just five miles from the heart of the city. <h3>Trains</h3>Lisbon&#x27;s main train station has national and international services running into it daily - for those who may have a little more time this could be an interesting (and less stressful) way of getting to your charter yacht. <h2>Marinas In Lisbon</h2>As one would expect in such an important maritime city, sailing is a major pasttime here! There are five marinas in Lisbon of any decent size and several smaller anchorages. Let&#x27;s look at these marinas from the largest to the smallest.

There is plenty to see on a week long sailing holiday up the Atlantic Coast out of Lisbon. Let&#x27;s look at a seven day route from the Lisbon coast. 7 Days - Lisbon coast: The first couple of days you will coast hop to Cascais with relatively short sail to Oeiras and day one and then the Portuguese Riviera capital with its beaches on day 2-3. Day 4 is a longer 43NM leg south to Sines on the west coast where you can see the supposed home town of legendary explorer Vasco de Gama. Day 5 you will be doing less time at sea - just 27NM - north to Troia, a beautiful Atlantic Ocean resort. Sesimbra, a quiet yet picturesque fishing village, will be your final port before returning to base on the Tagus. 14 days - the Algarve: This is an opportunity to get to the world-famous Algarve on the south coast of Portugal. Coast hopping to towns on the west coast like Sesimbra and Sines you can then spend time at the Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina with its 100km of protected coastal wilderness before turning east and getting as far as Lagos or Portimao on the Algarve. Head back west and then north to Lisbon, having seen some of the best sailing mainland Portugal has to offer. <h2>Best Times To Hire A Yacht In Lisbon</h2>The hottest time - and the most expensive time of year are the school holiday months of July and August. If you are limited to these months then be prepared to pay a premium on the boat you are hiring and in the marinas you visit. The sailing season in the country runs from April to October so it may pay to go earlier or later in the year. The weather is still a lot warmer than in Northern Europe - be prepared to smile in your tee shirt as you see locals bundled up in their winter jackets - but you will find the locals warmer toward you, the marinas cheaper and to have parted with less cash on the holiday in the first place. As a tip? October is better than April as the Atlantic Ocean is still warm from the summer months. <h2>The Climate</h2>Portuguese Trade WindsThese build from the morning and can peak at around Force 6 in the afternoon on a summer&#x27;s day in northern Portugal. This can be boisterous but given the warm weather, always fun! Towards Lisbon and the Algarve Coast you can expect north-westerlies in summer but a lot lighter than what you&#x27;d find to the north.<h2>FAQs:</h2><h3>What should I consider when hiring a Yacht or Boat?</h3>The main points to consider are what is your budget, have you got the necessary sailing experience and qualifications to manage the boat if it&#x27;s not going to have a skipper, whom you are taking sailing, where exactly you wish to go and what will the weather be like on the proposed dates of your trip.<h3>What are the Marinas in Lisbon?</h3>There are five large marinas in Lisbon. These are: Marina Parque das Nações (the biggest with 600 berths), Doca de Alcantra (425 berths), Doca de Belem (194 berths), Doca de Santo Amarro (176 berths) and Doca de Bom Successo (160 berths). <h3>When are the best times to hire a boat in Lisbon?</h3>The sailing season in the country runs from April to October so it may pay to go earlier or later in the year. The weather is still a lot warmer than in Northern Europe - be prepared to smile in your tee shirt as you see locals bundled up in their winter jackets - but you will find the locals warmer toward you, the marinas cheaper and to have parted with less cash on the holiday in the first place. Try April or October to avoid the worst of the heat!<h3>Do you have to pay a deposit when hiring a Yacht in Lisbon?</h3>You will typically pay 50% up front on booking the yacht hire and the balance on arrival. You will either pay a security deposit with your credit card on departure or can get insurance covering damage in advance. In some cases (such as the recent Covid situation) charter companies may be more flexible but this depends on the individual charter companies themselves.<h3>What happens if my Yacht breaks down?</h3>If you are at sea and in danger, call MAYDAY on VHF Ch16 or ring the coast guard on your phone if you have reception. If you have a mechanical fault and can make it to or are on a mooring you will be able to phone a help line number given by the boat charter company. <h3>What should I think of before I hire a Yacht or Boat in Lisbon?</h3>You should consider do you have the experience to handle the yacht charter or boat hire before you book and where do you want to go along with what the weather will be like. Dress for warm weather but do have something for tropical rains - light but waterproof. <h3>What Qualifications Do I need to hire a boat or yacht?</h3>If you want to sail without a skipper then you will need relevant qualifications like RYA Day Skipper/International Certificate of Competence (ICC)/ASA 104 Bareboat certificate or the US Sailing Certificate. For small &#x27;day boats&#x27; or if you choose to have a crewed yacht charter you typically don&#x27;t require licences.
