The boat hire company in Sant Pere Pescador
Hiring a boat in Sant Pere Pescador
Sant Pere Pescador is the village of the long Bay of Roses beach and the campsites, with no sea harbour: its only rental company works from Port Natura, the small river harbour on the Fluvià, with jet skis, no-licence motorboats and a sailing boat. The bay's fleet is 7 km away in Empuriabrava, with 23 companies on the canals, and in Roses, 11 km, with 30. From the Fluvià you head out into the Bay of Roses, sandy and shallow, south to Empúries and L'Escala or north to Empuriabrava and Roses.
The season runs from May to September. The bay is open to the tramontana: with a north wind nobody goes out. The Fluvià mouth has a bar and little depth; you cross it in a calm sea.
