Sailing in Andalusia
Andalusia has 433 boat rental companies and two seas. On the Mediterranean, the Costa del Sol holds the fleet: Puerto Banús with 78 companies, the biggest concentration of skippered yachts in the south, Benalmádena with 37 at Puerto Marina, Marbella with 29 and Malaga city with 19. Further east, Almería adds Aguadulce, Garrucha and Almerimar; Granada, Marina del Este in La Herradura. On the Atlantic, Cádiz (El Puerto de Santa María with 28, Chipiona, Sancti Petri) and Huelva (Isla Cristina, Punta Umbría, Ayamonte) have river and marsh harbours with tides to reckon with.
Across the region, 66 companies advertise jet skis, 61 motor yachts, 53 sailing boats, 45 no-licence boats and 44 skippered hire. The Mediterranean season runs from April to October; in the Strait, the levante and poniente winds overrule any plan.
