The 6 boat hire companies in Huelva
Hiring a boat in Huelva
Huelva city has 6 boat rental companies, at Marina del Odiel and the port, with a sailing and skippered fleet for the Odiel estuary and the marshes down to the Punta Umbría bar. The province's beach fleet is in the coastal towns: Punta Umbría, 8 km away, with 5 companies; El Rompido, in Cartaya, with 9 and the run to the Flecha spit; Isla Cristina, 34 km, with 5, plus Mazagón and Ayamonte. Between them they make one of the coasts in Andalusia with the fewest companies, but also with the fewest people on the water.
The Atlantic rules here: tides of more than three metres, bars at the river mouths and a poniente wind on summer afternoons. The season runs from May to September. There are scheduled boat trips round the estuary and the Odiel marshes for those who would rather not charter.
