Boat hire in Castropol

Castropol is the Asturian town on the Ría del Eo, on the eastern bank opposite Ribadeo, with Figueras and its shipyard beside it and the small harbour below the old town; but the Google Maps register returns no boat rental companies based in the municipality. The ría's fleet is opposite, in Ribadeo, with one boat rental company and two offering it as a sideline, 5 minutes across the water and 10 by the Los Santos bridge. Valdés (Luarca), 37 km away, has one more company.

The season runs from June to September. The Ría del Eo is sheltered, with banks that show at low water and a tide of more than four metres; outside, towards Tapia and the Cathedrals, Cantabrian with swell.
