Crossing to the island

The run from Alicante port to Tabarca island crosses open water along the Costa Blanca, with the skipper handling navigation and mooring throughout. No client licence is required: a skipper is included on every charter, whether you book a half-day or full-day trip. The same boat can be used for a private boat to Tabarca island for a family or a small group of friends.

Fuel cost depends on distance and sea conditions on the day and is set out in the written proposal rather than folded into a flat rate. As a reference, a half-day Tabarca trip on a motor boat starts from 400 €, a full day from 700 €; a motor yacht excursion to Tabarca runs from 1,500 € to 5,000 € per day depending on vessel size. Exact figures are confirmed once your enquiry is reviewed.

Tabarca trip questions

Do I need a boating licence for a Tabarca trip?

No. A skipper is included on every charter to Tabarca, so no client licence is required. You board at Alicante port and the skipper handles navigation, mooring and the return crossing.

Is fuel included in the Tabarca boat trip price?

Fuel is not folded into the headline price. It depends on the distance covered and sea conditions on the route to Tabarca and is set out in the written proposal sent after your enquiry.

How many guests can book a private boat to Tabarca island?

Boats and yachts on this route take up to 12 guests. The specific vessel assigned depends on group size and is confirmed at the time of booking.

Can we go snorkelling on the Tabarca boat trip?

Yes. Once close to Tabarca the skipper can anchor in sheltered coves so guests can swim and snorkel directly from the boat before continuing the Tabarca island excursion by yacht or motor boat.

Once you send an enquiry, we confirm the vessel, fuel estimate and final price in a written proposal within 48 hours. Figures depend on whether you choose a motor boat or motor yacht and on the time of year.
