Sailing in Region of Murcia
The Region of Murcia has 47 boat rental companies on 250 km of coast and two seas: the Mar Menor, the 170 km² lagoon with flat water where the best place in Spain for a no-licence boat is, and the Mediterranean of the Costa Cálida, from Cabo de Palos to Águilas. San Pedro del Pinatar, with 17 companies and a harbour on each sea, is the first destination; Mazarrón and Águilas, with 8 each, the western cove coast; Cartagena and Cabo de Palos, with 4, the sailing fleet; San Javier and Santiago de la Ribera, with 5, the inside of the Mar Menor. Seven companies advertise sailing boats, seven skippered hire, six jet skis and five no-licence boats; the top-rated, in Cabo de Palos, has more than 350 reviews.
The season runs from April to October, with many companies open all year thanks to the climate. The Mar Menor can be sailed in any wind; on the Mediterranean, the levante gets the coast up from Cabo de Palos to Águilas. The region's trips are Isla Grosa, the Hormigas (marine reserve, buoys only), Cabo Tiñoso and the Águilas coves.
