The 3 boat hire companies in Adra
Hiring a boat in Adra
Adra is the westernmost harbour in Almería, a fishing port with a leisure basin, and its 3 rental companies offer day motorboats (one with no-licence boats), a sailing boat and skippered hire, plus jet skis. It is the only base between Almerimar, 20 km away with 3 companies, and the Granada coast, with Castell de Ferro 30 km away. From the harbour you cruise the open Poniente coast east to the Balanegra and Balerma beaches or west to La Rábita and Castell de Ferro, with a calm sea in the morning.
The season runs from April to October, with several companies open all year thanks to the climate. The levante rules the whole Almería coast; with a poniente, the sea is usually calm.

Where can I go from Adra?
East along the open beaches to Balanegra and Balerma towards Almerimar, about 8 miles, or west to La Rábita and the gravel coves of Castell de Ferro; sandy anchorages off the beach.
Where do boats leave from?
From the Adra harbour, the fishing port with a leisure basin at the west end of the town, where the 3 companies are based.
When is the best time?
April to October, mornings, before the breeze; the Poniente coast is sheltered from the north by the Sierra de Gádor and the winter here is mild enough for year-round outings.
What is the difference between Adra and Almerimar?
Adra is a working fishing port with three small companies and the Granada coast to its west; Almerimar, 20 km east, is a large purpose-built marina with a sailing focus and the Punta Entinas reserve next door.
