Rent a boat in Llançà

Llançà is the harbour on the north face of Cap de Creus, between Portbou and Port de la Selva, and its 5 rental companies, four of them within 500 m of the harbour and yacht club, offer day motorboats for a coast of slate coves and clear water: Cap Ras and Garbet to the north, Port de la Selva and the nature park coves to the south, all under 5 miles. It is the quietest base on the northern Costa Brava; Roses, 11 km away, has 30 companies and Cadaqués, 13 km, 12.

The season runs from May to September. It is the stretch most exposed to the tramontana in all Catalonia: with a north wind nobody goes out, and it blows many days. In a calm it is one of the cleanest coasts on the Spanish Mediterranean.
