Hiring a boat in Fuengirola
Fuengirola is the Costa del Sol harbour with the most no-licence boats: ten of its 27 companies advertise them, and another ten have jet skis. All are within 500 m of the marina, in the middle of the promenade next to Sohail castle. Four companies offer skippered hire and four have motor yachts. From the marina you run along the coast west to Mijas and Marbella or east to Benalmádena, 8 km away with 37 more companies: open beach, no coves, with a flat sea most of the summer.
The season runs from April to October, and several companies work all year thanks to the climate. Malaga airport is 20 minutes away. There are scheduled boat trips and dolphin-watching for those who would rather not charter.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a licence to hire a boat in Fuengirola?
Not for a motorboat up to 5 metres and 15 hp, in daylight and near the coast: ten companies advertise them, more than anywhere else on the Costa del Sol. Yachts and bigger RIBs need an ICC or Spanish licence, or a skipper (four companies).
How much does a boat cost in Fuengirola?
A no-licence motorboat, €120–250 a day; a RIB with licence, €250–650; a motor yacht with skipper from €900; jet skis by the 20- or 30-minute slot. Indicative high-season ranges; fuel and deposit are extra.
Where do boats leave from?
From the Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola, in the middle of the promenade next to Sohail castle, with all 27 companies within 500 m.
Where can I go from Fuengirola?
West past Sohail castle and Mijas Costa towards Cabopino and Marbella, or east to Benalmádena and Torremolinos; open beach with sandy bottom, all under 8 miles.
Are there boat trips in Fuengirola?
Yes, scheduled dolphin-watching and coast cruises from the marina. They are listed under the boat trips category.
Why does Fuengirola have so many no-licence boats?
Because the harbour sits in the middle of a 7 km promenade with open beach either side and no rocks: a 5 m boat can potter along the coast in flat water, and the marina's rental stands are a short walk from the hotels and the train.
