Hiring a boat in Llanes
Llanes has a fishing harbour, the Cubes of Memory and 30 km of coast of cliffs, blowholes and coves, but the Google Maps register returns no boat rental companies based in the municipality: Llanes's boating is the scheduled cliff cruises from the harbour, the most popular activity on the eastern Asturian coast. For bareboat, the nearest companies are in Ribadesella, 27 km away, with 2, and in Gijón, 75 km, with 16. From Ribadesella, the Llanes coast is about 12 miles east, only in good weather.
The season runs from June to September. It is open Cantabrian: swell nearly always, a tide of more than four metres and few shelters. You go out in the morning with a wave forecast.
