Group boat rentals in Altea: how we organise them
If you are coming with a company, a large family or a group of friends, this guide explains how we organise group trips in Altea: capacity, boarding times, food, drinks and safety.
Summary
In Altea, you can organise a private trip for 6-7 people on one sailboat or coordinate several boats for larger groups. We specialise in skippered experiences for companies, families and relaxed celebrations. Once you have dates and headcount, check availability on bookings or, for corporate events, through team building.
Capacity: how many people fit
Our Patapalo sailboat is licensed for 7 passengers plus the skipper. This keeps the experience comfortable and private.
For larger groups, we coordinate a private flotilla so everyone sails together.
Typical capacity:
- 1 sailboat: up to 7 people.
- 2 sailboats: up to 14 people.
- 3 sailboats: up to 21 people.
Types of group we usually sail with
Most group boat rental in Altea requests fit these profiles:
- Extended families on holiday.
- Groups of friends looking for a private day out.
- Low-key hen/stag parties.
- Celebrations such as birthdays or anniversaries.
- Company teams from relaxed outings to competitive formats.
On-board safety with groups
We carry approved life jackets for all passengers, including children. At departure, the skipper gives a short safety briefing and deck movement instructions.
For smooth operations, we ask for:
- Soft-soled shoes.
- One main contact for timing and payment.
- Responsible alcohol consumption throughout the trip.
Food, drinks and celebrations
You can bring your own food and drinks for your group boat rental in Altea. We provide cooling space and practical storage for simple catering.
If preferred, we can arrange a local catering option in advance.
What works best on board:
- Cold dishes.
- Drinks in cans or bottles.
- Pre-cut cake or dessert for celebrations.
Marina logistics and group arrival
We depart from Puerto Marina Greenwich (Campomanes, Altea). For larger groups, arriving together is essential to maximise sailing time.
Practical recommendations:
- Arrive 20-30 minutes before departure.
- Park in the marina car park and walk directly to the assigned pontoon.
- Bring ID or passport for the passenger list.
Company groups and team building
We offer multiple corporate formats and adapt each plan to goals, team size and schedule.
Use the team building page to request a proposal and quote.
- Executive outing: one sailboat, intimate format.
- Nautical team building: multi-boat mini-regatta.
- Incentive event: sunset sailing plus optional dinner ashore.
