The 6 boat hire companies in Cabo Roig
Hiring a boat in Cabo Roig
Cabo Roig is the rental base of Orihuela Costa: 6 companies, five of them within 500 m of Marina Cabo Roig, the marina below the watchtower. Two companies advertise no-licence boats and two sailing boats; the top-rated one has more than 300 Google reviews. From the marina you head south to the Orihuela Costa coves (Cala Capitán, Cala Cerrada, Campoamor), under 3 miles, or north to Torrevieja, 8 km away with 33 companies. With a licence and a full day, the island of Tabarca is about 18 miles.
The season runs from April to October, and this coast has several companies open all year thanks to the climate. It is a stretch of small coves between the urbanisations, with a calm sea in the morning and a breeze in the afternoon, and a large British and Irish resident clientele.
