Hiring a boat in Orihuela
Orihuela Costa is the 16 km strip of urbanisations and coves belonging to Orihuela, 30 km from the town itself, and its rental fleet is at Marina Cabo Roig, which has its own page in the directory with 6 companies, two with no-licence boats and two with sailing boats. Elsewhere on Orihuela Costa there is a sailing school that rents with a skipper and prepares the Spanish licences. Torrevieja, 8 km away, has 33 companies, the biggest fleet in southern Alicante. From Cabo Roig you head for the Orihuela Costa coves (Cala Capitán, Cala Cerrada, Campoamor, La Zenia), under 3 miles.
The season runs from April to October, with several companies open all year thanks to the climate. It is a coast with a large British and Irish resident clientele and a calm sea in the morning.
