Hiring a boat in Comillas
Comillas is the modernist town of the western Cantabrian coast, with Gaudí's Capricho, the Sobrellano palace and the Pontifical University above the fishing harbour, and the Oyambre beach beside it; but the Google Maps register returns no boat rental companies based in the municipality. The nearest are on the Bay of Santander, 35–43 km away: Camargo, with 3 and the top-rated company in Cantabria, El Astillero, Santander and Marina de Cudeyo, with 6. San Vicente de la Barquera, 10 km away, has an estuary and a harbour but no registered companies either.
The season runs from June to September. Comillas harbour is small and open to the north; outside, Cantabrian with swell and a tide of more than four metres. The area's boat trips leave from San Vicente.
