A popular pastime amongst holiday makers and Spanish locals is sailing on the Mediterranean Sea and the Mar Menor lagoon. With the vast amount of space on the lagoon, it can easily accommodate this recreational activity. Take advantage of the hire companies across the Mar Menor who provide charted sailing services. This is ideal for anyone who has little to none experience. Being able to rent a yacht fully equipped with a crew and captain takes the stress out of learning and instead provides you with a very enjoyable experience.

For the experienced sailors who wish to rent a yacht you can do so at some sailing centres without the captain and crew. As a result you are free to chart your own course. Please note that it is not unusual to be asked to provide proof that you are of an acceptable skill to man a yacht by yourself without an employed crew.

Courses can be quite intensive and lengthy in time causing high prices. With typical courses requiring around 35 hours to complete, you will need to make sure you have enough time required. The intensive courses teach you all the theory needed behind the skills required to sail including practical skills. It is worth bearing in mind that the costs range depending on factors of the size of boat, crew size and the duration of the charted trip. The cost can also vary depending on the area and company, so it is worth finding out the costs around the Mar Menor.

If sailing as part of a crew is not for you then there are plenty of other related activities on offer for you to choose from. The hiring out of speed boats, rowing boats and singular sailing boats can normally always be found via the local sailing club or down by the harbour.

It is worth checking out Mar Menor Aquatic Resort located in Los Alcazares. This company offer yachts to hire, but also equipment hire and even schooling if necessary. Windsurfing, kite surfing, canoeing, diving, and waterskiing are all other activities available. With multilingual instructors, you will not have a problem learning the water sport of your choice.
