About Proavela
Proavela was born from a passion for the sea and the conviction that renting a boat should be easy, transparent, and accessible. We're a small team based in Girona who knows every port in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands.
We created Proavela because we were tired of big platforms with abusive commissions, surprise pricing, and non-existent customer service. We believe it can be done better: a fair 12% all-inclusive commission, real final prices, and a personal touch for both sailors and boat owners.
Our goal is for everyone to experience the Mediterranean from the sea, whether it's your first time or you're a seasoned sailor. And for every boat owner to earn from their vessel with the best conditions on the market.
Why Proavela?
Pro
From Latin: in favour of, in defence of. It also evokes 'professional', 'proactive', and 'proa' (bow) — the front of the boat that cuts through the waves.
a
The connection, the bridge, the movement towards.
Vela
The force of the wind, the symbol of sailing, freedom on the water.
A brand that stands for sailing, that takes a stance, that has a clear purpose.
