Behind RentBoat there's a marine mechanic from Torrevieja
I'm Fran. I've been repairing boats in this harbour for years. Today I help you rent them.
How it all started
My father and I are marine mechanics. We spend our days surrounded by engines, propellers and boats from across Torrevieja. We know every boat, every owner and every rental company on this coast because, eventually, they all pass through our workshop when something stops working.
Working like this for years, we noticed something: Torrevieja has good boats and good rental companies, but the customer who comes in summer goes crazy trying to compare prices, find availability or simply decide which boat suits them. Three different websites, three phone numbers, three slow replies.
That's how RentBoat was born: a single place that brings together the best boats in the area, with clear prices and human attention in less than one hour. No hidden middlemen, no surprises, no badly maintained boats.
How RentBoat actually works
I'm going to be transparent with you, because I think it matters:
RentBoat does not own the boats you see on this website. We work as an aggregator with three local rental companies that have been operating in Torrevieja and Cabo Roig for years. When you book with us, the boat is provided by one of those companies. We take care of:
- Selecting only boats we know personally. If a boat has recurrent mechanical issues, we don't list it on RentBoat. My father and I have had each one of these boats in our workshop; we know which ones are well maintained.
- Negotiating the best conditions for you (same price as on the original websites, sometimes even better thanks to the volume we bring them).
- Handling everything ourselves, from the first enquiry to the day of your rental. You speak to one person on one website, not three different ones.
- Confirming availability personally before charging anything definitive. We always check with the partner company before confirming your booking.
Why do it this way? Because building our own fleet from scratch in our first year would mean buying boats at €100,000–€300,000 each. Better to start by doing what we know best (choosing good boats and giving good service) and leave ownership to those who have been doing it for years.
Why book with RentBoat
Real technical knowledge
I'm a marine mechanic. Before listing any boat, I know it. If we tell you it's in good condition, it's because it really is.
Local and close
We live in Torrevieja, not in some Barcelona or Madrid office. We attend you personally in Spanish, English and French.
No hidden intermediaries
We tell you openly that we work with local partners. We don't pretend to own a fleet. Transparency is part of our service.
Reply in less than 1 hour
When you request a booking, we don't auto-confirm with outdated data. We verify real availability with the partner and reply within 60 minutes.
Just 15% deposit
To book you don't need to pay the full price. Only 15%. The rest, on the day of your rental. Free cancellation up to 7 days before.
WhatsApp 24/7
For questions, changes, anything. No bots here: a real person replies.
Who we work with
The boats you see on RentBoat belong to three nautical companies with whom we have exclusive partnership agreements in Torrevieja and Cabo Roig:
Three local operators with consolidated experience in boat rental, all of them with their insurance, certifications and Maritime Authority permits in order. If you want to know which specific company operates a particular boat, just ask: write to us on WhatsApp and we'll tell you.
Our partners' logos will be available soon.
Our promise
If you book with us and the boat is not as advertised, we refund what you paid and help you find an alternative.
If there's a technical issue during your rental, my father or I will come to the harbour ourselves. We're the ones who fix it.
If the Maritime Authority closes the harbour due to bad weather, we reschedule at no cost or refund your payment.
If at any point you feel you're not getting what was promised, write to us directly. We don't have a call centre; I reply personally.
