The boat hire company in Puerto Rico
Hiring a boat in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is the resort with a marina on the south coast of Gran Canaria and the place with the most dolphin-watching departures on the island, but its rental fleet is small: 2 registered companies, one of skippered yachts with more than 120 reviews. For bareboat or more choice, Pasito Blanco, 9 km away, has 6 companies and sailing boats; Mogán, 6 km, 5; Arguineguín, 4 km, 3. From Puerto Rico you cruise the south coast, west to Amadores and Mogán or east to Arguineguín and Maspalomas, with a calm sea all year.
The peaks are summer and Christmas. The scheduled dolphin boats and catamarans have far more demand here than rental.

Frequently asked questions
Can I hire a boat in Puerto Rico?
A skippered yacht from the 2 companies in the marina; for bareboat, Pasito Blanco (6 companies) or Puerto de Mogán (5), both under 10 km away.
Do I need a licence?
The Puerto Rico yachts are skippered, so no. Bareboat sailing boats and RIBs from Pasito Blanco need an ICC or Spanish licence; no-licence motorboats (up to 5 m and 15 hp) are scarce on this coast.
How much does a boat cost in Puerto Rico?
A motor yacht with skipper from €900 a day; a sailing boat from Pasito Blanco, €400–1,500 depending on skipper; dolphin trips by the seat. Indicative high-season ranges; fuel and deposit are extra.
Can I see dolphins from Puerto Rico?
Yes, it is the island's dolphin harbour: bottlenose and spotted dolphins live a few miles off the south coast all year, and the scheduled boats go out several times a day with permits.
Are there boat trips in Puerto Rico?
Yes, and they are the main offer: dolphin-watching, catamarans and coast cruises to Mogán with fixed departures. They are listed under the boat trips category.
What is Amadores?
The man-made beach next to Puerto Rico, a sheltered bay of imported white sand with no waves; a mile west of the marina and the usual first stop by boat.
