The 2 boat hire companies in Roquetas de Mar
Hiring a boat in Roquetas de Mar
Roquetas de Mar has a fishing harbour but its rental fleet is in two places: the jet skis on the town beaches (2 companies) and, above all, the Aguadulce marina, 7 km away and inside the same municipality, with 7 companies, sailing boats, skippered hire and no-licence boats. From Aguadulce you sail the bay of Almería and, with a licence and a full day, towards Cabo de Gata. Roquetas is also one of the places in Almería with the highest demand for boat trips, which leave the harbour on a fixed timetable.
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.
