Hiring a boat in L'Ametlla de Mar
L'Ametlla de Mar is the fishing village of the southern Costa Daurada and has the longest stretch of coves in Tarragona province: 16 km between Calafat and L'Ampolla of rocky, pine-backed coves (Cala Forn, L'Estany Tort, Sant Jordi d'Alfama). Its 5 rental companies, three of them within 500 m of the marina, offer day motorboats (two with no-licence boats), fishing charters and skippered hire (two advertise it), and there is a sailing boat. L'Ampolla, 11 km away, has 5 more companies and the Fangar bay; Cambrils, 30 km, 12.
The season runs from May to September, with a calm sea most of the summer. It is a tuna port: fishing trips and visits to the tuna cages are part of the offer. There are scheduled boat trips along the coves for those who would rather not charter.
