Renting Boats to Explore the Coast
The Costa Tropical is known for its spectacular coastline with soaring cliffs, rocky shores, wide bays, mysterious caves, and yes, even waterfalls... and the best way to experience it all... is by boat.
You can learn how to master canoes or kayaks and small catamarans, on your own, and visit the rocky shores of Cerro Gordo and Punta de la Mona (kayaks and other equipment can be rented along La Herradura Beach).
➜ Or join one of the very popular kayaking tours that leave from Playa La Herradura (or Nerja) every hour.
Larger sailboats, yachts, jet skis, and motorboats can be rented from Marina del Este.

Where to Rent a Boat?
The Marina del Este: The majority of boat rental companies operate out of the local marina, Marina del Este. From there you can rent motorboats, speed boats, jet skis, or book catered tours with guides on larger watercraft and sailboats. Half-day, full-day, and sunset tours are available.On the Beach: Smaller boat rentals such as kayaks, paddleboards, and catamarans, can be rented directly on the beach. Almuñécar, La Herradura, and Nerja all have water sports companies that provide these services. Read more here ➜ Kayak, Windsurf & Paddleboard Rentals in La Herradura
Reserve a Rental Online! During the summer months, the Costa Tropical area is packed with tourists. You can either book your rentals from the marina when you arrive or book ahead online. The companies that we link to on this page are well respected local businesses. If you choose to book online we work with TripAdvisor and Viator, two well-known travel websites you can trust that offer full refunds if needed.
