On the Costa Blanca between Santa Pola and Altea in Comunidad Valenciana, Spain, the sea is the reason to go: sun-drenched bays, limestone coves and crystalline water beckon. A day aboard the Nuva M6 Open Aquaman turns those coastal scenes into a private playground. This Spanish-built, minimalistic open boat seats up to eight guests and is powered by a 115 CV Mercury engine that can push past 30 knots, making quick work of hops between hidden coves, offshore reefs and the marine reserve around Isla de Tabarca.
Charter options include bareboat if you hold the required Licencia de Navegación (Titulín) or a professional patrón for guests who prefer to relax. Either way, the experience is about coastal exploration: anchor off pebble beaches, drop a line for bluefish, snorkel above Posidonia seagrass meadows, or push toward the islets and lighthouses that punctuate this stretch of Mediterranean coast. Capacity and layout emphasize social comfort — sunpads up front, an open cockpit for easy movement, and minimal clutter so you can enjoy wide, unhindered views.
Operational details matter: the company asks for a refundable €500 deposit at the office, supplies the boat with a full tank at check-out, and includes VAT, insurance, base mooring and cleaning in the price. Fuel is handled at return; any extra consumption is charged. Cancellations are free up to seven days prior, with a sliding refund scale after that. The operator reserves the right to cancel for adverse weather.
What sets this option apart is the combination of a nimble, modern hull and the local coastline. From salt flats and bird-rich lagoons near Santa Pola to the rocky promontories and soft-sand coves closer to Altea, the Nuva M6 lets you cover more ground and still feel private. Swim stops often reveal playful dolphins and a scattering of Mediterranean shearwaters; underwater visibility can be astonishing in late spring and early summer when Posidonia blooms.
Practically speaking, bring a valid ID, your boating license if you plan to helm, cash or card for the deposit, sun protection and a snorkel kit. Expect clear directions at check-in and courtesy if your launch is delayed — the operator extends extra time if you wait more than twenty minutes. Whether you want fast cruising, family swimming days, or a compact platform for coastal photography, this Nuva M6 charter is a direct, stylish way to own a stretch of the Costa Blanca for a day.
Bookings run in four- or eight-hour blocks, giving flexibility for quick coastal hops or a longer circumnavigation. The company helps plan routes inside permitted zones and will advise on weather and fuel estimates so you can focus on swimming, snorkeling and shoreline cafés without logistical guesswork.
