Hiring a boat in Aguadulce
Aguadulce is the rental harbour for Almería city: 8 km from the capital according to its listing, it holds the fleet of the western Almería coast, with 7 companies, all within 500 m of the marina. Two companies advertise jet skis, two sailing boats, two skippered hire and two no-licence boats. From the harbour you cruise off Roquetas and the bay of Almería or, with a licence and a full day, towards the Cabo de Gata park, whose tip is about 15 miles east. Roquetas adds 2 companies; Almerimar, in El Ejido, has a marina and a few more.
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 strong east wind the cape closes and you sail the bay.
