Boat hire in Lanzarote

Lanzarote has 25 boat rental companies, spread along the south coast, which is the sheltered one: Yaiza, with Playa Blanca and Marina Rubicón, has 11 and is the base for Papagayo and the crossings to La Graciosa or Fuerteventura; Tías, with Puerto del Carmen and Puerto Calero, 10, and that is where the island's top-rated company is, with more than 1,000 reviews; Arrecife, the capital, 3. Seven companies advertise skippered hire, three sailing boats and two no-licence boats. The Papagayo beaches, under 3 miles from Marina Rubicón, are the usual trip; Isla de Lobos and Corralejo, in Fuerteventura, are about 8 miles from the south of Lanzarote.

You can sail all year, with peaks in summer and at Christmas. The north-east trade winds blow nearly always, which is why the fleet is in the south and boats go out in the morning. There are scheduled catamarans to Papagayo for those who would rather not charter.
