The present invention regards an apparatus for unwinding cables on seabeds, which comprises: two movable towers (2) carrying, mounted thereon, two corresponding hubs (3) susceptible of being mechanically engaged to a reel (4); a laying tower (15) carrying, mounted thereon, transmission means (16) susceptible of receiving, in engagement, a section of said cable (6) unwound from the reel (4) and of transmitting such section of cable (6) downward, in order to make the cable (6) enter into a space (101) made on a support platform (100); a transverse track (20), which carries, slidably constrained thereto, the movable towers (2); moving means (23) adapted to move the movable towers (2) along the transverse track (20) according to a moving direction (T); control means arranged for commanding the moving means (23) to move the movable towers (2) along the moving direction (T) in order to maintain the terminal coil (10') of the reel (4) substantially aligned with the transmission means (16).
