Ebre Charter is a boat operator based in La Ràpita, Catalunya, offering private cruises and boat rentals in the Ebro Delta. The company offers three core experiences: a sunset cruise in the Bahía dels Alfacs, self drive rentals without a licence for groups up to eight people, and rentals with professional titulación for groups up to ten people. Trips highlight natural and cultural points of interest across the Delta del Ebro, including birdwatching, visits to the Torre de San Juan, and time on the unique sandbanks and beaches.
The sunset cruise specifically offers snacks and drinks while guests watch the sun set over Alfaques Bay, creating a relaxed atmosphere for small groups and couples. Self drive rentals provide privacy and control for groups that prefer to pilot a boat on calm waters, while rentals with titulación provide an option with a licensed operator. Several outings may include freshly harvested mussels and opportunities to observe the local bird species that inhabit marshes and shallow bays.
All operations depart from La Ràpita, making boarding and logistics straightforward for visitors staying in nearby towns and accommodation. Ebre Charter lists clear passenger limits and trip inclusions at booking to help guests plan their visit accurately.
