Hiring a boat in Arguineguín
Arguineguín is the fishing village of southern Gran Canaria, between Maspalomas and Puerto Rico, with the harbour and the Puerto Anfi marina next door, and a small rental fleet: 3 registered companies, with skippered trips and dolphin boats. Pasito Blanco, 6 km away, has 6 companies and the island's sailing boats; Puerto Rico, 4 km, 2; Mogán, 10 km, 5. From Arguineguín you cruise the south coast, west to Puerto Rico and Mogán or east to Pasito Blanco and Maspalomas, with a calm sea all year.
The peaks are summer and Christmas. The scheduled dolphin boats from Arguineguín and Puerto Rico have far more demand than rental.
