Hiring a boat in Torroella de Montgrí
Torroella de Montgrí is the municipality of L'Estartit and the Medes islands, with the medieval town at the foot of the Montgrí castle and the Ter flowing into the Gola beach, and it has 6 boat rental companies registered outside the L'Estartit centre, with charter, motorboats and rental offices for the whole Costa Brava; L'Estartit, 6 km away, adds 18 more and the harbour. The trip is the Medes marine reserve, a mile from the harbour, with anchoring banned and pay buoys, and the Montgrí coast towards L'Escala (14 companies, 8 km) with the Montgó and Cala Pedrosa coves.
The season runs from May to September. The Bay of Pals is sheltered from the north; the tramontana blows several days a month and closes the Medes. Glass-bottom boats run to the islands on a fixed timetable from L'Estartit.
