Boat hire in Valencia

Valencia city has 67 boat rental companies, the largest number in the Valencia region, split between La Marina de Valencia, the old America's Cup harbour, the Real Club Náutico, with 11 companies within 500 m, and Valencia Mar. It is a group market: eleven companies advertise sailing boats, eight motor yachts and eight catamarans, with half-day trips off the Malvarrosa and El Saler beaches and, with a full day, down to Cullera or up to Sagunto. Four companies have no-licence boats and nine skippered hire, which is the usual way out of the city.

The season runs from April to October, with a thermal breeze on summer afternoons. Valencia is also one of the capitals with the highest demand for boat trips: there are scheduled catamarans from La Marina for those who would rather not charter.
