All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
Hire the licence-free Lancha Falcon for a self-drive day on the Costa Tropical from Marina del Este. Explore nearby coastline at your own pace with snorkel kit and a fridge on board, choosing half day or full day to match how long you want on the water.
After a hands-on handover covering controls, local rules and where you can go, you take the helm within the agreed coastal limits. The Falcon suits calm coastal exploration rather than long open-water crossings, which keeps the day simple for first-time self-drive guests.
Fuel is charged full-to-full and is not in the hire, so plan top-ups as advised at collection. Return on time with the tank status agreed at checkout, and stay inside the zones explained at handover, including a respectful distance from swimmers and dive flags.
Marina del Este gives quick access to La Herradura bay and the surrounding Costa Tropical shoreline once you clear the pontoons. Collection details, including berth orientation near restaurant El Barco, arrive after your open request is accepted.
Stay inside the operating area described at collection and keep a respectful distance from swimmers and dive flags along the coast. If the forecast is marginal, the host may ask you to stay closer to sheltered water.
No navigation licence is required, but you must be confident following the handover and local rules. One responsible adult should act as skipper for the hire period and supervise children at all times on board.
Ask before booking if anyone has reduced mobility, as boarding and moving on a small powerboat can feel awkward for some guests. Arrive early enough for paperwork and a practical handover before your hire clock starts.
A simple licence-free option with clear half and full day choices, plus snorkel kit ready on board for calm stops when the sea allows.
Open request booking lets the host match boat availability to your preferred date before you travel to the marina, so you are not turned away on arrival.
Collect the Falcon at Puerto Deportivo Marina del Este, 18697 La Herradura. Use berth details shared after confirmation; the marina area sits opposite restaurant El Barco for orientation.
Arrive early enough for paperwork and a practical handover before your hire clock starts.
No navigation licence is required for the Falcon. It is a 4.90 m boat with 15 CV, designed for straightforward self-drive use inside the permitted coastal area around La Herradura.
You still receive a handover covering controls, local rules and where you can and cannot go before casting off, so first-time drivers should allow extra time at collection.
Choose half day or full day when you book. Exact start and return times for your slot are confirmed when the host accepts your open request.
Allow extra time on the first hire so the handover is unhurried before your hire clock starts, especially if anyone in the group is new to small powerboats.
Snorkel kit and a fridge are included so you can stop for a swim when the sea is calm. Fuel is not included and runs on a full-to-full basis, so you return the boat with a full tank as instructed at handover.
Bring cash or card as advised for fuel top-ups if needed during the day, and ask at collection how the marina fuel process works.
Maximum capacity is 5 people. Everyone on board must follow the handover safety points and local navigation limits for the Costa Tropical operating area.
If your group is larger, look at the licensed hire boats or a skippered trip instead so you are not overcrowding the Falcon.
Collect and return the boat at Puerto Deportivo Marina del Este in La Herradura. Berth details and paperwork time are confirmed with your booking acceptance message.
Allow extra time on the first hire so the handover covering controls, local limits and fuel rules is clear before you leave the pontoon.
You should be comfortable steering a small powerboat and reading basic local rules. If you have never driven a boat, say so when requesting so the host can advise whether this hire is a good fit.
Children need adult supervision at all times on board, including when the boat is stopped for swimming or snorkelling.
If conditions are unsafe, the host can cancel with a full refund under the published weather terms. You may also be asked to stay closer to sheltered water if the forecast is marginal.
Do not push into rough sea state; return early if the weather changes, and call the host if you are unsure whether to set out.
Damage, late return and fuel shortfalls are handled under the hire agreement explained at handover. Ask for the deposit and excess details before you confirm if they are not already in your messages.
Inspect the boat together at pickup and return so both sides agree the starting condition and any marks already present.
Submit an open request with date, half or full day, and group size. The host confirms availability and sends collection instructions for Marina del Este.
Wait for acceptance before travelling to the marina, because the Falcon may already be reserved for another slot that day.
Pack sun protection, water, and a dry bag for phones. Soft shoes protect the deck. Swimwear is useful if you plan to snorkel from a calm stop along the coast.
Leave valuables you do not need ashore when possible, and bring a payment method for fuel as advised at handover.
