We set off from the Marina del Este marina, 20 minutes from Salobreña. Motorboats with or without a skipper, an all-inclusive yacht and the Spanish Navigation Licence (Licencia de Navegación) course.
Salobreña has no marina, and Motril's port is geared towards fishing and large vessels. To hire a motorboat or a yacht, the closest and most beautiful option is Marina del Este: twenty minutes along the motorway and you're in the most spectacular boating area on the coast.
A-7 motorway towards Málaga, La Herradura exit, then the Punta de la Mona road to the marina. About 22 km.
From Salobreña a full day is worth it: you make the most of the 20-minute drive and can sail all the way to the Maro waterfall.
The 6-metre motorboat with the most seats in the marina: 10 people, a 150 hp Yamaha engine and all the kit for a day exploring coves. Two boats, so more availability.
Almost 8 metres of American bowrider with 225 hp, a toilet, shower and sun pad. For a day of coves with family or friends, with every comfort.
Fifteen metres of Italian flybridge yacht with two cabins and two bathrooms. Skipper, fuel, drinks and snacks included.
Get your Spanish Navigation Licence at Marina del Este in one day for €120, or hire with a skipper.
There's no marina in Salobreña with larger motorboats for hire. Marina del Este is the closest alternative, about 20 minutes away.
Yes: the Maro-Cerro Gordo cliffs, the coast's main attraction, are ten minutes by boat from Marina del Este and can't be seen properly from any other nearby port.
Not from 1 October 2026: the regulations (Royal Decree 1188/2025) require a qualification to helm any hire boat. You have two options: get your Spanish Navigation Licence (Licencia de Navegación) with us in a single day for €120, or go out with one of our skippers.
