Your nautical company on the Costa Brava
The Costa Brava is one of the most sought-after nautical destinations in the Mediterranean. Its rocky cliffs, coves with turquoise water and itineraries between Blanes and Portbou make it the perfect setting for sea lovers. At Náutica Rio, we understand that enjoying this coast to the fullest requires the right sports boat, an impeccable comprehensive service and the advice of professionals with years of experience in the sector.
If you are looking to buy, rent or maintain sports boats on the Costa Brava, Náutica Rio offers you tailor-made solutions adapted to your sailing needs.
Why choose sports boats to sail on the Costa Brava?
Sports boats offer the ideal combination of speed, manoeuvrability and comfort. Unlike other types of boats, RIBs, motor boats and sports cruisers allow very agile navigation that facilitates access to the most sheltered corners of the coast.
Main advantages of a sports boat:
- Access to exclusive coves: Its depth and agility allow you to anchor close to the coast in emblematic corners such as Cala Pola, Cala Bona or the coves of Cap de Creus.
- Power and versatility: Ideal for both fast crossings between ports and for water sports (wakeboarding, water skiing or donut).
- Comfort on board: Modern equipment that guarantees a solarium, shaded areas and optimised habitability to spend the day at sea in total comfort.

Quick guide to choosing your ideal sports boat
To make the right choice of your boat on the Costa Brava, it is essential to define how you are going to enjoy the sea:
- Typical number of passengers: For family outings or small groups (4 to 6 people), a 5 to 6 meter boat offers agility and reduced costs. For larger groups (8 to 12 people), large RIBs or day cruisers are the best option.
- Type of licence: If you have a Navigation Licence (Titulín), you can steer boats of up to 6 metres with no power limit. With the PNB or PER you can access larger lengths and night navigation. If you do not have a licence, we have specific options without a licence.
- Main use: For water sports, look for engines with good exit acceleration; for prolonged anchoring, prioritise a wide solarium, bathing platform and bimini awning.
