Hiring a boat in Candelaria
Candelaria is the basilica and Guanche town on Tenerife's east coast, 18 km from Santa Cruz, and its rental fleet is at Radazul, the urbanisation and marina of the neighbouring municipality of El Rosario, 5 km away: 2 companies within 500 m of the marina, the top-rated with more than 480 reviews, with day motorboats and skippered trips, and a third with rental among its services. The Puerto Deportivo Radazul, according to its listing, is protected from the wind by its design and orientation, on a coast where the trade wind blows hard in the afternoons. From Radazul you sail the east coast to Candelaria and Güímar, or to Santa Cruz (3 companies) and Anaga to the north.
You can sail all year, with peaks in summer and at Christmas. The east coast is exposed to the trade wind: you go out in the morning, and not in a northerly swell.
