Hiring a boat in Denia
Dénia has more boat rental companies than any other harbour in Alicante province: 46 against 12 in Xàbia (Javea), 8 km away, or 8 in Moraira. The fleet is split between the Port de Dénia, with the marina and the ferry terminal, and Marina El Portet, by Les Rotes beach: each has more than a dozen companies within 500 m. From here you head for the coves of Les Rotes and Cabo de Sant Antoni, along the Xàbia coast and, with a skipper, across to Ibiza and Formentera, about 50 miles.
Eight companies advertise skippered hire, five have sailing boats and there are catamarans and yachts for groups. The useful season runs from April to October; in July and August book a few days ahead and go out in the morning, because the thermal breeze builds in the afternoon. There are boat trip companies too if you would rather not take the helm.
