Five people, one cove, one good idea.

El Portet Sports runs out of Cap Negret, the small rocky cove that marks the north end of Altea bay. Emily, Jack, Hayley, Ken and Callum grew up on this water. The business is what happens when a family refuses to do watersports the way most rental counters do it: reluctantly. Here, the instructor who teaches your kid windsurfing is the same person who rigs your SUP, gives you a weather call, and recognises you the next year.

Everything stays small on purpose. Six activities, one launch point, instructors that know your name, kit that's new. The island offshore is ours to show you.
