I was also told that...

Hello there I have stayed in Torre on many occaisions & never had a problem although there are a couple of folks on here who have & say its a unfriendly place, however I have not found it so. I have a boat in Campoamor & another one in Caboroig which is just along the coast. Torre has a large...

Where I am based Costa Blanca most peeps contact the nearest large marina for assistance ie divers & tows I have also seen the guardia assist boats in trouble. Like Englander all I hear on 16 is fishing boats the odd ferry & weather. regards Nat

Same for me 5 years 60 return flights 3 short delays with Monarch. Live on & always get out on boat even in winter months, no tides overfalls ect & plenty of places to go marinas every 4 or 5 miles. No yobo's vandals or thieving says it all for me..

Thanks for that, will probally use Altea again Nat

That would be good of you. I forgot to put mine in my bag last week, so any info would be welcome. Nat

On our Ibiza trip next month I am thinking of spending a couple of nights in Benedorm marina to sample the nightlife berfore moving up to Calpe & across to San Antonio. Anyone here stayed in Benedorm marina ? According to the pilot book it looks pretty new. cheers Nat

I had exactly the same problem last year.Lost nose cone & small stainless prop in 100metres of water just off Isle of Benedorm. Carried on to Ibiza at slightly slower speed. Managed to get broken bit out by tapping round with centrepunch. just be very carefull you dont burr edges or drilling...

Great report. Reminds me of my river days. I'd forgotten just how sedate the upper Thames can be. Good luck with your return trip Nat

I also had a good look round it. Just looked like an expensive toy, one wave over the top & you lose all the upholstery, a heavy shower & same uplholstory is stuffed, can you see it in med with the red rain. Hard top version as ugly as sin. Not for me im afraid Nat

Torrevieja. speak to Shazard at Navicularia he always has berths to rent. Also many new berths have just been completed so should be plenty of space. Prices about the same as Steve quoted
