Vela Latina

Playa del Inglés

There are thousands of ways to enjoy the ocean and in Gran Canaria as a whole you will find each and every one of them. But one of the most popular is La Vela Latina, the seas around the island remain at a constant temperature of between 18 & 23 degrees Celsius.

The islands provide you with the best possible conditions for sailing in any size of boat, whatever time of the year. The cooling trade winds moderate the temperature in the summer, however they also make it possible to make exciting trips with intense channels of wind often reaching strengths of up to six on the Beaufort scale.

You will often sail accompanied by free-living whales and dolphins, an unforgettable experience as you get close to these stunning creatures of nature.

Puerto Rico (Mogán)

Facilities for yachts have improved considerably in recent years and more cruising yachts are now spending longer in the islands and some are permanently based here. Also on the increase is the number of yachts sailing down from Europe to spend the winter months in the Canaries' pleasant climate.The widest range of facilities is concentrated in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, which has a yacht harbour administered by the port authority. Gran Canaria's south coast has several good marinas at Pasito Blanco, Puerto Rico and Puerto Mogan. There are crane facilities at all of them as well as at the fishing harbour Arguineguin.
