Lanzarote is the northernmost island of the Canary archipelago. Here, there is the so-called lunar landscape as a third of the territory is flooded with lava of extinct volcanoes. The beaches are covered with red, black, and white sand.
Lanzarote is an island considered a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Therefore, it is called unique. There are beaches with red, black, and white sand.
There are several fishing ports with mooring places available, and 3 large marinas, where it is possible to rent a boat in Lanzarote:
There are several smaller marinas and anchorages, which are mainly situated on the south coast.
There are also coves along the coast: Papagayo Beach in the south and Playa Francesca in Graciosa.
Just one kilometer from Lanzarote is the Chinijo Archipelago. There are many small islands: Alegranza, Graciosa, Montaña Clara, Roque del Este and Roque del Oeste.
We recommend visiting the region for experienced yachtsmen. There are strong winds, few sheltered anchorages, and long distances between marinas and yacht harbors.
The private boat hire in Lanzarote is suitable for those who wish to go on a cruise around the Canaries.
If you want the short daily trips and more time for the beach holiday, the best variant would be to travel around the island:
Puerto Calero — Playa Blanca — Graciosa — Puerto Rosario — Arrecife — Puerto Calero.
To arrange the yacht charter in the Canaries, leave a request on the Sailica website.
