Hiring a boat in Águilas
Águilas is the last harbour in Murcia before Almería and has one of the longest cove coasts in the south-east, 28 km between Calabardina and San Juan de los Terreros, with the Isla del Fraile off the town. Its 8 rental companies, five of them within 500 m of Marina Juan Montiel (355 berths according to its listing, with a boatyard and schools), offer day motorboats, two with no-licence boats, jet skis and skippered routes; the top-rated has more than 200 reviews. Mazarrón, 33 km away, adds 8 more.
The season runs from April to October, with several companies open all year. The coves (Cala Cerrada, La Carolina, Calabardina) are under 5 miles from the harbour; in a levante you sail the sheltered side of the bay. Scheduled boat routes run for those who would rather not charter.
