The 4 boat hire companies in Tías
Hiring a boat in Tías
Tías is the municipality of Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote's tourist centre, and of Puerto Calero, the island's most established marina with more than 35 years receiving yachts according to its listing, and its 10 rental companies are the day fleet of the east coast: jet skis and motorboats, with the two top-rated companies on Lanzarote, more than 1,000 and nearly 500 reviews, and skippered trips (two companies). From Puerto Calero you cruise north to Puerto del Carmen and Arrecife (3 companies, 11 km) or south to Papagayo and Playa Blanca (Yaiza, 11 companies, 20 km), about 10 miles, with the coast sheltered from the trade wind and Fuerteventura opposite.
You can sail all year, with peaks in summer and at Christmas. Lanzarote's east coast is in the lee and the calmest of the eastern Canaries; the Bocaina strait, towards Fuerteventura, has wind and current.
