The Costa del Sol offers wonderful opportunities for boating, which is a popular pastime. The possibilities range from luxury power boats or yachts to modest dinghies. If you don't own a boat you can hire one from most marinas by the hour, day or week. If you own a boat it must be moored at one of the coast's many marinas. Fishing trips are also available from most fishing ports and marinas.
