The Licencia de Navegación from Malgrat de Mar, in one day in the Port of Blanes
The course for the Spanish basic boating licence runs in the Port of Blanes, about 10 minutes from Malgrat de Mar: six hours in a single day, with the practical hours on board a boat and the licence issued when you finish, with no exam.
The school is awaiting authorisation and opens soon. Until then, the waiting list.
Getting there
It is about 10 minutes on the N-II, crossing the Tordera; the port is at the end of the Blanes promenade, with parking next to the pontoon. By train, the Rodalies R1 reaches Blanes one stop from Malgrat, and the station is a couple of kilometres from the port.

The same course, the same boat
Two hours of theory, in person as the law requires, and four of practical on the Trimarchi 57S, a boat 5.70 metres long, with a skipper holding a professional qualification. The licence covers motor boats up to 6 metres, 2 nautical miles from the coast and daylight only, and it doesn't expire. Since 1 October 2026 it is what the law asks for to hire a boat, and it covers the Costa Brava Rent a Boat boats in the same port.
