Boat hire in Spain, port by port
We have gathered the 2,046 companies that hire out boats across 294 ports and coves on the coast and the islands. For each one, what you need to pick up the phone: number, website, where it is and what people say about it on Google. We do not take bookings or commission; you deal with whoever owns the boat.

How this directory is made
It started as a practical problem: looking for a boat for a weekend in Menorca and ending up on three booking platforms that take a cut, none of which listed the company in the next harbour. So we made the list ourselves. We went town by town through the Google Maps listings of the whole coast and the islands, removed duplicates, closed businesses and anything that does not hire out boats, and sorted what was left by port.
The data is Google's as of 16 September 2026; every page shows the date. There are no sponsored listings and no paid ordering: companies are ranked by number of reviews, and the prices we quote are indicative, taken from the companies' own websites. There will be mistakes, because a list of two thousand companies always has some. If you find one, or your company is missing, write to us and we will fix it within 48 hours.
