The 3 boat hire companies in Alcalà de Xivert
Hiring a boat in Alcalà de Xivert
Alcossebre has 3 boat rental companies, two of them at the Port Esportiu de les Fonts, the village marina, with no-licence motorboats and jet skis. It is the nearest base to the Sierra de Irta natural park, an unbuilt stretch of coast between Alcossebre and Peñíscola with gravel coves and rocky seabed, and, for anyone with a licence and a full day, to the Columbretes islands, about 30 miles offshore. Peñíscola, 15 km away, and Oropesa, to the south, have a few more companies; Castellón, the capital, only 7.
The season runs from April to October. The Castellón coast has less rental than Alicante or Valencia, and in July and August it is worth booking ahead.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a licence to hire a boat in Alcossebre?
Not for a motorboat up to 5 metres and 15 hp, in daylight and near the coast: one company advertises them and the Irta coves are within reach. Bigger boats and the Columbretes need an ICC or Spanish licence; jet skis go with an instructor.
How much does it cost to hire a boat in Alcossebre?
A no-licence motorboat, €120–250 a day; a RIB with licence, €250–650; jet skis by the slot. Indicative high-season ranges; fuel and deposit are extra.
Can I get to the Columbretes islands?
With a licence, a seaworthy boat and a full day, yes: about 30 miles out, a marine reserve with buoys only and a visitor cap. Otherwise the scheduled boat from Oropesa or Castellón.
Where can I go from Alcossebre?
North along the Sierra de Irta park to the coves of Irta and the Torre Badum, under 6 miles of unbuilt coast, or south to Les Fonts and Torreblanca; anchor in sand off the gravel coves.
When is the best time?
April to October, mornings; the coast is sheltered from the north and the afternoon breeze is the only thing to plan around.
