Boat Club · Alicante
Your boat. Without owning a boat.
Get out on the water all year round for a monthly membership fee. We take care of the boat, mooring, insurance, maintenance and repairs. You just book, step aboard and go.
What the club is
All the perks of owning a boat. None of the hassle.
Owning a boat means 12 months of costs for a handful of days out a year. Boat sharing through the club turns that around: you pay to go boating, not to own a boat.
A fleet ready to go
Boats from 5.5 to 7.5 metres, serviced, refuelled and with all paperwork up to date. Turn up at the pontoon and cast off.
No bills, no nasty surprises
Mooring, insurance, haul-outs, maintenance and repairs are all included in the membership. If a boat breaks down, it's our problem, not yours.
Book from your phone
Pick the day, time slot and boat in three taps. See real availability and the weather forecast before you confirm.
Share it with a friend
On CLUB+ and UNLIMITED, a friend with a boating licence gets their own access and can take the boat out without you. You share the plan's outings, with no extra fee.
All year, not just August
The best boating days in Alicante are in May, June and September. The club makes them easy to enjoy.
Our own boating school
No licence? We'll train you ourselves: PER, PNB and the basic Licencia de Navegación (Spanish boating licences), and once you're done you join the club.
Based at Alicante Marina
In the centre of Alicante, with parking and direct access to the bay.
Limited memberships per boat
We cap the number of members per boat so there's always one available.
You only pay for your fuel
Charged by actual engine hours, at each boat's rate. No surprises.
How to join
From the first call to your first day out
No endless forms or paperwork. We talk, we send you an invitation and you go boating.
We have a chat on the phone
Tell us how you like to go boating and which boat suits you, and we'll answer your questions. No obligation.
We send you your invitation
A link to complete your membership: choose your plan, sign and add your payment details. Five minutes.
Familiarisation trip
An outing with a club instructor to get to know the boat and practise manoeuvring in the harbour.
Off you go
Book from your phone in three taps and turn up at the pontoon. The boat is ready and waiting.
Plans and membership fees
Choose how much you want to go out
Every plan includes the boat, mooring, insurance and maintenance. Switch plans whenever you like.
CLUB
For those who go out a few times a month and want the boat taken care of.
€199 / month
CLUB+
For those who go out almost every week and want weekends too.
€329 / month
UNLIMITED
Weekdays without counting outings. Very limited places.
€399 / month
Prices include VAT. An outing is one time slot of the day: morning, afternoon or sunset. A full day counts as two. Outings renew every quarter and don't roll over from one quarter to the next.
FAST outings
If a boat is free tomorrow, it's yours
When a boat is still unbooked within the next 24 hours, we offer it to members as a FAST outing. It doesn't use up your plan's outings: it's extra time on the water, just for being a member.
This is how the alert arrives
FAST outing
A boat is free tomorrow afternoon
A Quicksilver Activ 605 is still unbooked. Book it without using any of your plan's outings.
BookBoats left free at the last minute don't go to waste: they become bonus outings for members who can make the most of them.
We let you know
By WhatsApp or email, only for boats you're qualified to take out, and no more than twice a week.
Doesn't use your allowance
Your outings for the quarter stay untouched. A FAST outing is a bonus.
Up to 4 a month
On any plan. Book it in two taps from the app.
Included in the membership
Paid separately
No deposit on each outing. We keep a card on file in your account for fuel and any damage you're responsible for, and it's only charged when needed.
Let's talk
Tell us how you like to go boating and we'll tell you which plan suits you
We'll call you, answer your questions and, if you're happy, send you your invitation link to complete your membership.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Still have a question? Drop us a line and we'll get back to you.
hola@8mares.esDo I need a boating licence?
Yes, a valid boating licence or qualification. If you don't have one, we'll train you at our boating school and you join the club once you're done. Before your first outing you do a familiarisation trip with a club instructor: that's what sets the level of boat you can take out.
