Hiring a boat in Lepe
La Antilla is Lepe's beach, and its rental fleet is at El Terrón, the fishing and leisure harbour on the Piedras estuary 3 km away, with 4 of the municipality's 5 companies within 500 m: day motorboats, jet skis and one with no-licence boats. The Piedras estuary is the same arm of sheltered water as El Rompido's, on the opposite bank, with the Flecha del Rompido and its wild beach as the main trip under 2 miles away. El Rompido, 8 km by road, has 9 more companies; Isla Cristina, 10 km, 5.
The season runs from May to September. Tides of more than three metres in the estuary and banks at low water; the companies tell you the good hours. There are scheduled boats to the Flecha for those who would rather not charter.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a licence to hire a boat in La Antilla?
Not for a motorboat up to 5 metres and 15 hp, in daylight and on the estuary: one company advertises them and the Flecha is a mile away. Bigger boats need an ICC or Spanish licence; jet skis go with an instructor.
How much does a boat cost in La Antilla?
A no-licence motorboat, €120–250 a day; a RIB with licence, €250–650; jet skis by the slot. Indicative high-season ranges; fuel and deposit are extra.
Can I get to the Flecha del Rompido from El Terrón?
Yes, it is straight across the estuary, under a mile: 12 km of dune and virgin beach with the sea on the other side, reachable only by water. Land on the estuary side.
What should I know about the tide?
That it rises and falls over 3 m and uncovers banks across the estuary at low water; go out on the rising tide and follow the channel. The companies give you the times.
Are there scheduled boats to the Flecha?
Yes, from El Terrón and El Rompido, a shuttle across the estuary all day in summer. They are listed under the boat trips category.
La Antilla or El Rompido?
Same water, opposite banks: El Terrón is closer to La Antilla beach and quieter; El Rompido has more companies and the village on the estuary. Both are a mile from the Flecha.
