Hiring a boat in Cangas
Cangas is on the northern shore of the Ría de Vigo, on the Morrazo peninsula, 9 km by sea from Vigo and with the Cíes islands closer than anyone but Baiona: its 2 rental companies, one at the marina and one in Aldán, with a sailing boat, offer day motorboats and sail with or without a skipper. From Cangas you head for the Cíes, about 6 miles, for the Aldán inlet and the Hío coast towards Bueu, or for Vigo, with 19 companies and the scheduled boat to the islands. Moaña, 8 km away, has one company.
The season runs from June to September. The ría is sheltered; the Aldán inlet is the calmest anchorage on the Morrazo in a north-easterly. Outside the Cíes, Atlantic swell.
