complemented by facilities and services for
docking boats and ensuring crew members
enjoy their stay.
It is practically impossible to think of
any sports or sea-related activities, be it
dinghy sailing, cruise sailing, motorboating
or scuba diving, that are not accommodated
on the Valencian coasts. Services and compa-
nies devoted to nautical activities guarantee
long its nearly 600 kilometres of coas-

conditions for lovers of nautical and un-

leisure. In addition to its mild climate, with

landscape, clear waters, open beaches, remote
coves, infrastructures, fast accesses and the
best services required for all types of water
activities. Without a doubt, the rich variety
that the sea will be enjoyed regardless of the
activity chosen.
Sailing and motorboating courses are just
some of the activities on offer, and visitors
can hire the services and materials required
for carrying out all kinds of nautical activities.
The most remote places on the coast can be
discovered from the sea: the majestic walls
of Sierra de Irta and the Peñón de Ifach, the
secluded coves of Granadella and Bassetes,
and caves such as those of Las Conchas and
Los Pa lomos on the Costa B lanca.

of the Region of Valencia’s coastal orography,
to the extent that it is hard to find a coastal
enclave that is not fascinating to sail along or
dive into to discover the treasures hidden in
its depths.
The marinas, from Vinaròs to Pilar de
la Horadada, mark out the profile of the
Mediterranean from north to south with a
complete range of services. Boosted by the

The Region of Valencia has a good
number of enclaves that stand out for their
unusual orography, particularly relaxing areas
away from the crowds and protected areas
where divers can enjoy the underwater world,
not forgetting the caves with small freshwater
rivers and breathtaking submerged mountains
that nature has modelled in the depths of the
sea. The depths of Cabo de San Antonio, the
islands of Tabarca, Portichol and Descubridor,
Cova Tallada and Cala Granadella, on the
Costa Blanca; Sierra Helada, L´Illa and La
Llosa in Benidorm; Peña del Moro in the
town of Cullera, the Islas Columbretes natural
reserve and the depths of Sierra de Irta, on
the Costa Azahar, are just some of the trea-
sures scuba divers will encounter in the Re-
gion of Valencia. It is a real paradise for
divers, who are only asked to comply with
regulations relating to the area’s conservation.
Constantly open to the sea, the Region
of Valencia is now, as always, open to the
Mediterranean, a fact that is recognised by
amateurs and professionals alike. It is, after
all, one of the best destinations for enjoying
activities where the sea plays a central role.
Throughout the year, a significant number of
the most varied sporting competitions take
place in the Mediterranean waters of the
Valencian coast, from dinghy sailing in all its
disciplines to jet skiing, motorboating and
cruise sailing. They are often international
competitions or races that count towards the
championship on the official regattas, attrac-
ting the world’s sailing and motorboating
elite. For their part, the Region of Valencia’s
marine resorts provide the means for tourists
and water sports enthusiasts to enjoy nautical
holidays in an exceptional environment,
combining accommodation with water
activities and tourism services.
The range of services meets the most
varied requirements, from those of an enthusiast
who simply wishes to enjoy a walk or weekend
sailing trip, to those of a regatta professional.
6
From the occasional visitor to the pro-
fessional sportsperson, all requests can be
perfectly fulfilled, and all budgets catered
for. What’s more, this in an area that boasts
ideal weather conditions for sailing during
most of the year.
In this guide you will find a compre-
hensive list of marinas and yacht clubs, com-
panies dedicated to marine charters and ding-
hy sailing, schools and firms offering a range
of water sports, diving centres and rental
outlets. For your own safety, and in accor-
dance with current regulations, all diving
centres and sailing schools included in this
guide have been officially approved by the
Maritime Development Centre and Sailing
Federation, and are run by qualified instruc-
tors.
Moreover, boats that belong to companies
offering marine charters or cruiser rentals
have been registered on the Lista Sexta, in
compliance with legislation regulating their
activities. During the holiday season, services
are increased with temporary concessions
that are not included on the list but can be
viewed in the tourism office of each town.
And, in addition to what has already been
mentioned, a particularly significant factor:
the waters, weather conditions and general
infrastructures of the Region of Valencia
make up a whole where special importance
is given to exceptional safety conditions for
sailing and scuba-diving activities in all their
disciplines, always relying on the responsibi-
lity of those undertaking the activity, whether
above or below the waters of this area of the
Mediterranean that boasts the best winds.
Soft winds that are ideal for beginners,
pleasant for sailing and perfect for competing
in the setting of the calm, beautiful Mare
Nostrum. In a region where towns, villages
and landscapes compete in beauty with the
sea that bathes them.

n 2007, the Region of Valencia will be
attracting the attention of millions of people
around the world as the city of Valencia hosts the
32nd America’s Cup. Finally, this competition is
returning to Europe after 152 years.
Of all the sporting events held around the
world, this is the oldest and its media coverage
can only be compared to that of the Olympic
Games. A competition in which precision,
technological development and strategy are
determining factors, making this a highly
prestigious historical milestone both for theholders of the title and their rivals.The organisers consider that Valencia has thebest conditions as regards both wind and sea,and they also value it as a dynamic city whichoffers the necessary infrastructure required tohold this nautical event of worldwide mediainterest.
Hosting this nautical event has beenValencia’s chance to open up to the sea onceand for all, thus responding to a historic demandthat enables it to recover the virtues theMediterranean brings to the city’s urbandevelopment.
It was originally called the 100 Guinea’s
Cup. However, after the victory of the yacht
America in 1851, it became known as the
America’s Cup in 1870. Up until 1983, when the
Australian yacht, Australia II, won the trophy, the
competition had always been won by American
vessels. The Louis Vuitton Cup was created in the
same year as a pre-competition to decide the
vessel to challenge the trophy holder.
In the 2003 competition, which was held
in Auckland, New Zealand, a European vessel
–the Swiss yacht Alinghi – won the America’sCup after 152 years of American reign. As thewinner, Switzerland would be responsible fororganising the next competition in 2007.However, the Deed of Gift, the competition’sofficial rules, state that the America’s Cup musttake place in salt water. Valencia was named asthe host city from amongst 56 fierce contenders,including Barcelona, Naples, Marseille, Palmade Majorca and Lisbon.
The competition programme in Valenciahas already begun with the celebration of theLouis Vuitton Acts 2, 3, 4 & 5 in 2004 and 2005.During 2006, Acts 10, 11 & 12 will be held.

The final stage will be contended in thewaters off Valencia in 2007 when the final act,Act 14, will take place. This will give way tothe long-awaited Louis Vuitton Cup followed inJune by the America’s Cup, when the Alinghiwill have to fight to defend its title.
Hosting the event in the Region of Valenciais an unbeatable opportunity for promoting theart of navigation in our society. Such a task isreinforced by a number of factors including anexcellent climate, which is ideal for practisingwater sports with average annual temperatures
of over 17ºC, a strategic location and theimportant investment that is being made. Allthis will make the Valencian coastline the SportingMarina for Spaniards and Europeans alike.The America’s Cup challenge is already alive inall yacht clubs, sporting marinas, sailing schoolsand other facilities that are bathed by theMediterranean along the almost five hundredkilometres that make up the Region of Valencia’scoastline.
There is absolutely no doubt that theAmerica’s Cup will mark a turning point forValencia. The City and the entire Region ofValencia are putting their all into this event
which, alongside its important sporting element,represents a chance for Valencia to compete asa major city which is ready and willing to takeon the high-profile role it deserves as a focalpoint of cultures and values.

Dinghy Sailing
n this guide, you will find the sailing centres
and schools that have been officially approved
by the Sailing Federation and the Valencian Re-
gional Government’s Maritime Development
Centre (indicated with the corresponding accre-
diting body’s emblem) and which have qualified
monitors. Most of these schools also hire out
equipment, from fast and fun catamarans to
windsurfing boards, for those who already know
something about nautical sports.
In addition to the officially approved
sailing schools, there are other sailing
centres that hire out the necessary equipment
for all kinds of dinghy sailing, windsurfing,
kitesurfing, etc.
The minimum age you can start sailing
is usually around 7 or 8. But there is no maximum
age limit, and once you are familiar with the
secrets of a board, a catamaran, or a small sail-
boat, sailing becomes an unforgettable experien-
ce. The schools and centres in the Region of
Valencia cater for all levels, from “sea baptisms”
to advanced classes and even regatta tactics.
Once you have the main sailing skills
under control, these same schools and centres
hire out boats so you can practice and check
your progress. Sailing is an activity where you
are surrounded by the natural elements and you
depend solely on your skills, your ability to feel
the wind and to manoeuvre the boat accordingly.
It also helps to have the Gods on your side:
Neptune, the God of the Sea, and Aeolus, the
God of the Wind.

ometimes what is most valuable cannot
be seen. The depths of the Mediterranean
are in no way inferior to the spectacular sight
offered above water. Quite the contrary, outs-
tanding sights include caves with freshwater
rivers running through them, large areas
of vegetation, islands, remote corners and
breathtaking underwater mountains that
scuba diving enthusiasts will discover in the
Region of Valencia.
Practically all year round, Valencia’s
unusual orography and climate are perfect for
scuba diving in transparent waters that present
an underwater paradise home to some of the
most beautiful marine species of Mediterranean
flora and fauna.
The breathtaking sights in the depths of
the Cabo de San Antonio marine reserve,
islands of Tabarca, l´Illa and Llosa de Be-
nidorm and Columbretes nature reserve,
to mention but a few, need not be seen only in
pictures. The best way to discover them is by
visiting a centre specialising in underwater acti-
vities.
The first contact with scuba diving should
always be made with a qualified instructor who
will accompany the student on his or her first
experience with weightlessness. The centres
found in the Region of Valencia offer courses at
all levels and even night dives. They also provide
the proper equipment to ensure no risks are
taken during dives.
It is important to keep in mind that un-
derwater activities are subject to strict regulations
that must be followed. In this guide you will
find information on each of the officially appro-
ved scuba-diving centres that are registered in
the Maritime Development Centre of the
Autonomous Government of Valencia, in
compliance with current leg islation.
These centres are not only officially en-
dorsed; they are recognised globally by the
competent authorities that regulate underwater
activities, organise courses and provide the
necessary qualifications:
" The Region of Valencia Federation of
Underwater Activities (FASCV), belonging to
the Spanish Federation of Underwater Activi-
ties (FEDAS) and the Confederatión Mondiale
des Activités Subacuatiques (CMAS)
" American Canadian Underwater Certification
(ACUC)
" Scuba School International (SSI)
