Yacht rental Lanzarote

Renting a boat in Lanzarote is a unique experience for sailors seeking wild nature, lunar landscapes, rugged coastlines, and the deep open sea. Located in the Canary Islands archipelago, this volcanic island offers a spectacular setting for sailing lovers, especially those with intermediate or advanced experience. Departing from the modern and well-equipped Marina Rubicón in the island’s south, you can explore the entire coastline and even sail to Fuerteventura or La Graciosa on a fascinating and achievable 7-day itinerary.

Why choose Lanzarote for a sailing holiday

Sailing around Lanzarote means immersing yourself in a protected and often surreal natural environment. The coastline, carved by fire and shaped by wind, alternates black and red beaches with dramatic cliffs and hidden coves. Boat rental in Lanzarote is ideal for those seeking a mix of adventure, relaxation, and discovery of places unreachable from land.

Sailing conditions can be challenging: the trade winds blow steadily from the northeast, and Atlantic currents require caution. This makes a sailing holiday in Lanzarote more suitable for those with sailing experience or for crews with a local skipper. The rewards, however, are immense: clear waters, rich seabeds, breathtaking anchorages, and safe harbours for overnight stays.

What to see and where to sail in Lanzarote

From Marina Rubicón, you can sail along the southern and eastern coasts of the island, with must-see stops including:

• Playa Papagayo: a series of sandy, wind-sheltered coves perfect for your first swim and snorkelling session.
• Puerto del Carmen: a lively town with restaurants, golden beaches, and nightlife.
• Arrecife: the island’s capital, where you can dock at the marina, visit Castillo de San Gabriel, and stock up on supplies.
• Costa Teguise: known for its windsurfing beaches and peaceful bays.
• Chinijo Archipelago: north of Lanzarote, La Graciosa is a must-see with pristine beaches and a timeless atmosphere.
• Corralejo (Fuerteventura): just 2 hours from Marina Rubicón, with white dunes and turquoise waters — ideal for those who rent a catamaran in Lanzarote and want maximum comfort and space.
