Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a boating licence, or are licence-free boats available at MaksyBoats Boat Hire?
Yes, MaksyBoats Boat Hire offers licence-free boats. Reviews mention models such as the Tarpon 470, Tarpon 790, Quicksilver 500 and smaller RIBs. Several guests note that the boats are explained clearly before departure, and GPS is often on board. That makes them a practical option for first-time renters.
How long can I hire a boat for, and is a half-day or full-day better?
Reviews mention 4 hours, half-day, 6 hours, 8 hours and full-day rentals. One guest hired a Tarpon 470 for 6 hours, and another for 8 hours. For shorter trips, around 4 hours can be enough to reach Sa Foradada from Port de Sóller. For Sa Calobra or Cala Tuent, a longer booking is usually more practical.

Guests report routes from Port de Sóller to Sa Calobra, Sa Foradada and Cala Tuent. Several reviews also mention coves and smaller swimming spots along the coast. One guest noted that Sa Foradada could be reached in about 4 hours on a licence-free boat. Maps and route notes are often provided before departure.
How does booking work, and can I reserve via WhatsApp?
According to reviews, communication often happens via WhatsApp, including same-day updates. Several guests mention quick replies and that the boat was sometimes ready ahead of schedule. Last-minute enquiries are also mentioned in the reviews. You can also use the MaksyBoats Boat Hire website to request information and make a reservation.
What is included with the boat hire?
Reviews mention several extras, including snorkelling gear, a cooler box, maps and sometimes Bluetooth speakers. Some guests also note GPS on board. A practical tip from the reviews is to bring your own towels and extra water, while ice can be bought from shops across the street. That helps with planning a day on the water.
What happens if the weather or sea conditions are bad?
Several reviews say MaksyBoats Boat Hire used WhatsApp to inform guests about changing conditions. In some cases, the route was adjusted or the boat was returned earlier when the sea became rougher. One guest also mentioned a small partial refund for an early return. As conditions at sea can change, it is worth checking before departure.
How easy are the boats to drive for beginners, and how fast are they?
Several guests describe the boats as suitable for beginners, including people without a licence. One review mentions a speed of around 15 to 20 knots for a model in the fleet. A Tarpon 470 was described as fast enough for a half-day trip with two people on board. Reviews also mention a briefing before departure to make the trip easier to manage.
