Hiring a boat in Castellón
Castellón is the province with the least boat rental in the Valencia region and its capital has 7 companies, at the Grau de Castelló, the port district 4 km from the city. There are jet skis, a sailing boat and day motorboats, heading north to the coves of Benicàssim and Oropesa (La Renegà, Les Platgetes), under 6 miles, or south to Burriana. The province's fleet is completed by Burriana (3 companies), Oropesa (2) and Alcossebre (2); for sailing boats and big groups, Valencia, an hour away, has 67.
The season runs from April to October, with a breeze on summer afternoons. The Columbretes islands, a marine reserve about 30 miles from the Grau, are the area's passage: only with a licence, a suitable boat and a full day. There are scheduled boats to the Columbretes for those who would rather not charter.
