Dinghy & Windsurf Rental

We offer rental of sailing dinghies and windsurf equipment to experienced sailors.  We would normally expect RYA Level 2 or equivalent and regular sailing experience.  The sailor must be able to competently sail around a triangular course unassisted before they are deemed safe to sail alone.   

If you wish to sail a double-handed boat you must have competent crew onboard i.e. someone who can control the jib, knows what to do in event of capsize and can helm the boat in an emergency.  The ratio of children to adults must be no more than 2:1.  The children must be strong swimmers and over the age of 6.

Need a Refresher?

If you have not sailed for some time, or you have just taken a sailing course and have little other sailing experience, you will need to book up a lesson or a course to ensure that you can sail to the required standard before we will let you out alone.  The wind strength on the Mar Menor can change very rapidly and we must ensure that you are safe.

Many people come to us asking to rent equipment and do not have the necessary sailing experience.  At the bottom of this page I have provided some scenarios.  These will enable you to assess whether you are ready rent equipment from us or not and how many lessons it will probably take you to reach that standard.

Rental Conditions for Boats and Windsurfers

  • Only person(s) qualified to sail the boat or windsurfer may do so.

  • Other persons in the boat may only act as crew and not helm.

  • You may not instruct other people using equipment rented by Aqua Adicta.

  • Prior booking is always required.

  • A deposit of 50€ per item and a passport are required for each rental.

Sailing Dinghy Rental Prices

We do not normally rent for longer than 2 hours at a time due to the fact that that the wind strength and direction can change throughout the day and we don't want people to wander away too far and not be able to get back.  Also, for us to provide adequate safety cover you need to remain within sight (using binoculars!)

Can I rent a dinghy or windsurfer from Aqua Adicta?

1. I have RYA Level 2, I sail regularly (every couple of weeks) and own my own dinghy / windsurfer

Yes you can rent a boat or windsurfer

2. I have RYA Level 2, I used to sail regularly but haven't sailed for a few years

You will need at least one lesson to ensure you haven't got too rusty. 
Assume you will need one lesson for every 2 years you have not sailed.

3. I passed RYA Level 1 & 2 a few weeks/months ago

Not all students who pass Level 2 are equal, some are pretty competent others are not!  If you learn quickly and really took to it, then one lesson may be enough.  For others, a number of lessons may be necessary for you to build up your confidence and experience before you go out alone.

If you recently passed Level 2 with us we would let you rent.  We do not award certificates if the required standard is not achieved. 

4. I passed RYA Level 1 & 2 within the past 5 years but haven't sailed regularly since

You will probably need at least 6 lessons

5. I used to sail as a child... but that was over 20 years ago

You will have to assume that you are starting from scratch. 
You will need both Level 1 and 2 which will takes 12 lessons.

6. I learnt to sail in a dinghy but now I sail Yachts

You will probably need at least 4 lessons

Please note:  The above are just guidelines, everyone is different, we all learn at different speeds and some have better memories than others!
