The 2 boat hire companies in Almuñécar
Hiring a boat in Almuñécar
Almuñécar is the capital of the Costa Tropical and has no harbour in town: its 2 registered rental companies are jet skis and motorboats from the beach (one with more than 200 reviews), and the municipality's main fleet is 4 km away at Marina del Este, La Herradura, with 14 companies, sailing boats, yachts and skippered hire, which has its own page in the directory. From Marina del Este you sail to Almuñécar bay and the Peñón del Santo, under 3 miles, or west to the Cerro Gordo cliffs.
The season runs from April to October. The sierra shelters the coast from the north and the sea is usually calm in the morning; Punta de la Mona has the best seabed on the Granada coast.
