Boat hire in Ferrol

Ferrol has one of the most enclosed rías in Galicia, with the city-centre marina and the shipyards, but the Google Maps register returns no boat rental companies based in the municipality. The nearest are across the ría, in Mugardos, 7 km away, and in Ares, 8 km, with one company each, and in Sada, 18 km, with 6 companies and Marina Sada, the biggest choice on the A Coruña coast. From Mugardos or Ares you sail the sheltered Ría de Ferrol and the Ría de Ares e Betanzos; outside, the Valdoviño and Cedeira coast, with swell.

The season runs from June to September. A tide of more than three metres and, outside the rías, open Atlantic. Scheduled boat trips run round the ría from Ferrol for those who would rather not charter.

Indicative high-season prices from the directory's reference table, reviewed September 2026: a no-licence motorboat costs €120–250 a day; a RIB of 6–8 m, €250–650; a 10–12 m sailing yacht, €400–900 bareboat or €600–1,500 skippered; a catamaran, €1,000–2,500; a skippered motor yacht, from €900. Expect 20–40% less outside July and August. Deposits run from €300 to €2,000 and fuel is extra. Each company sets its own prices.
