Boat hire in Burela

Burela is the port of the northern bonito tuna, one of the biggest fishing ports in Galicia, with the live-bait fleet and the Ril beach next door; but the Google Maps register returns no boat rental companies based in the municipality. It is a working port, not a leisure one, and the Mariña's rental fleet is in Ribadeo, 26 km away, with the only dedicated company in Lugo province on the Ría del Eo; Ortigueira, in A Coruña, 38 km, has another. From Ribadeo, the Burela coast is about 12 miles west, past the Cathedrals and Foz.

The season runs from June to September. Burela has no ría: the harbour is artificial and, outside the breakwater, open Cantabrian with swell and a tide of more than four metres. You go harbour to harbour in good weather.

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.
