Hiring a boat in Benidorm
Benidorm has 11 boat rental companies, a small fleet for the number of visitors the city gets: the classic trip, Benidorm island just over a mile from the harbour, is done mostly on scheduled excursion boats. For hiring, there are two companies with no-licence boats, three with jet skis and two with sailing boats, based at the Port Esportiu on Poniente beach. Altea, 10 km away, has 43 companies and is where the big choice in the area is; Calpe, 19 km away, adds 13.
From Benidorm you head for the island and the coves of the Serra Gelada, between Benidorm and Altea, with cliffs and clear water. The season runs from April to October, with several companies open all year thanks to the climate.
