Check availabilityThe most exclusive plan on the Costa Brava
Para un boat rental without licence in Roses as a couple — there are few experiences on the Costa Brava that compare to spending a day at sea with the person you love, without sharing the space with anyone else, at your own pace and with Cap de Creus as a backdrop. At Experience Boat you can rent a boat without a licence in Roses with no prior sailing experience and set off directly from the Santa Margarita canals towards the most beautiful coves of the northern Costa Brava.
Why a boat is the perfect plan for a couple in Roses
Total privacy
The Costa Brava has beaches and restaurants. But none of those options give you what a boat does: complete privacy and freedom of movement. This is the kind of day you never forget.
Inaccessible coves
From the sea, Roses and Cap de Creus have a completely different dimension. You can anchor in a deserted cove mid-morning and swim in crystal-clear water.
No prior experience needed
You need no sailing experience or licence. Within 15 minutes of leaving the Santa Margarita canals, you will be navigating alone with total confidence.
The Santa Margarita canals — the perfect beginning
Every Experience Boat departure begins with the Santa Margarita canals, and for couples this opening stretch is particularly special.
The calm waters, the houses with gardens opening onto the canal, and the low stone bridges create an atmosphere that feels closer to Amsterdam than the Costa Brava. It is the perfect scene for photos and for starting the day gently before the boat reaches the Bay of Roses and the horizon opens up.
If you enjoy photography, get your camera ready — the early-morning light on the canals is hard to beat.
The best coves for a couple from Roses
One of the great privileges of renting a boat is reaching coves that most tourists never see. Here are the favourites among couples who go out with us:
Cala Canyelles Petites
One of the most photographed coves on the northern Costa Brava, and for good reason. Turquoise water, surrounded by pines and very quiet outside August. About 20 minutes from Santa Margarita.
Cala Almadraba
Quieter than Canyelles with particularly clear water. Accessible on foot too, but from the boat it is a different experience — you can anchor and have the cove virtually to yourselves in mid-season.
Cap de Creus coves
For the more adventurous, the coves of the Cap de Creus Natural Park are the most spectacular destination in the area. Volcanic landscape, exceptionally clear water. We recommend the full-day option.
The canals themselves at sunset
If you prefer a quieter, more romantic outing, the canal route at sunset is one of the most special experiences Roses offers. The light of the last hours of the day on the water creates a magical atmosphere.
See Sunset Experience →Half day or full day — which to choose
It depends on what you want to do and how much time you have.
Half day
The half-day (about 4 hours) is perfect if you want a morning or afternoon at sea without making it a full day. There is time to cruise the canals, reach the nearest coves like Canyelles or Almadraba, swim and return.
Full day
This is for those who want to go far. With a full day you can cruise the canals, cross the bay, reach the Cap de Creus coves, have lunch on board and return gently at sunset. The most complete and memorable option.
What to bring for a perfect day at sea
A short list for a couple's outing with nothing forgotten:
High-factor, water-resistant sunscreen — the sun reflects off the water much more intensely than it looks.
Polarised sunglasses for both of you.
Swimwear, towels and a light layer for the return if you head out at sunset.
A cool box with cold drinks and something to snack on — eating in the cove is one of the best moments of the day.
Camera or phone in a waterproof case — the Cap de Creus coves deserve the best photos you can take.
Music — the boat has a sound system, bring your playlist.
