The boat hire company in Vinaròs
Hiring a boat in Vinaròs
Vinaròs is the last harbour in the Valencia region before Catalonia, a fishing port with a yacht club, but its only registered rental company is a jet-ski operator with more than 40 reviews. For motorboats, sailing boats or a sailing school, Benicarló, 7 km away, has 3 companies in its marina; Peñíscola, 14 km, 2. From Vinaròs you cruise the gravel-cove coast of northern Castellón (Sol de Riu, Aiguaoliva) towards the Ebro delta or south to Peñíscola, about 8 miles.
The season runs from April to October, with a breeze on summer afternoons. It is a coast with little rental and few people on the water; in July and August book ahead in Benicarló.
