If you’re planning your first speedboat rental in El Nido, it helps to know what to expect. Prices generally range from ₱12,000 to ₱27,000 depending on the operator, boat size, inclusions, and duration. Some hotels, like The Apartments at El Nido, offer in-house rentals, while independent tour companies also provide packages.
Most rentals include essential gear like snorkeling masks, life vests, and beach towels. Many also provide packed lunches, drinks, and umbrellas for beach stops. Higher-end charters might include beanbags, professional guides, or even onboard sound systems for a more premium experience.
You’ll need to decide between a private rental (great for groups and families) or a shared speedboat tour (a more affordable option if you’re traveling solo or as a couple). Bookings can be arranged online in advance, or once you’re in El Nido town, where operators are easy to find.
For the best value, consider traveling with a group to split costs, and always confirm what’s included before booking.
