Hiring a boat in Calpe
Calpe (Calp) has 13 boat rental companies split between Port Calp, the fishing and leisure harbour at the foot of the Peñón de Ifach, and Marina PortBlanc, smaller and newer. Four companies advertise jet skis and two no-licence boats; there is a sailing boat, a yacht and one with a skipper. The trip is the lap of the Peñón, over the seabed of the Ifach marine reserve, and the coves towards Moraira to the north or towards Altea, 9 km away with 43 companies, the biggest fleet in the area.
The season runs from April to October. Calpe bay is sheltered from the north by the Peñón and is usually calm in the morning; the breeze comes in at midday. There are scheduled boat trips round the Peñón for those who would rather not charter.
