Hiring a boat in Pasito Blanco
Pasito Blanco is the Maspalomas marina and the biggest rental base on Gran Canaria: 6 companies, all within 500 m of the harbour, with sailing boats (two advertise them), motorboats and skippered trips; three have more than 170 Google reviews. From the marina you cruise the south coast east to the Maspalomas dunes and lighthouse, under 3 miles, or west to Arguineguín, Puerto Rico and Mogán, with a calm sea all year in the lee of the trade winds. It is the harbour on the island for a bareboat sailing boat.
The peaks are summer and Christmas. In a strong trade wind you hug the south coast; the north and east of the island are exposed.
