Frequently asked questions
Do I need a licence to hire a boat in Granadilla de Abona?
For sailing boats and yachts, an ICC or Spanish licence, or a skipper. Motorboats up to 5 metres and 15 hp can be driven without a licence in daylight near the harbour; ask which company has them. Jet skis go with an instructor.
How much does a boat cost at Marina San Miguel?
A RIB with licence, €250–650 a day; a sailing boat, €400–1,500 depending on skipper; a motor yacht with skipper from €900; jet skis by the slot. Indicative high-season ranges; fuel and deposit are extra.
Where can I sail from Granadilla?
West to Las Galletas and the Punta de la Rasca, sheltered and with the pilot whales close, or east to El Médano and Montaña Roja, with wind; with a full day and a skipper, to La Gomera.
Where do boats leave from?
From Marina San Miguel, in Amarilla Golf, the marina between Granadilla and San Miguel de Abona, with all 7 companies within 500 m; Los Abrigos has a fishing quay.
Are there boat trips in Granadilla?
Yes, scheduled sailing and whale-watching trips from Marina San Miguel. They are listed under the boat trips category.
What is Los Abrigos?
The fishing village of Granadilla just beyond the airport runway, with a small quay and the fish restaurants on the harbour; no rental fleet, but a ten-minute run from Marina San Miguel and the usual lunch stop by boat.
Why is El Médano so windy?
Because the trade wind funnels round the southern tip of the island and accelerates over the flat coast below Montaña Roja; it is Europe's kitesurf capital for that reason, and boats keep west of the point.
