Boat hire in Altea

Altea has the largest rental fleet in the Marina Baixa and the third in Alicante province after the capital and Dénia: 43 companies between Marina Greenwich at the Mascarat, with 21 within 500 m, the Puerto Deportivo de Altea by the old town, Puerto Senso and Marina Mar i Muntanya. Nine companies advertise skippered hire, six no-licence boats, six jet skis, five sailing boats and four motor yachts: there is a bit of everything. From the bay you head south to the Serra Gelada cliffs and Benidorm island, or north past the Mascarat to the Peñón de Ifach, all within 6 miles.

The season runs from April to October, with several companies open all year. The bay of Altea is sheltered from the north and one of the easiest on the Costa Blanca for a first outing. There are scheduled boat trips for those who would rather not charter.
