Touring South to West - Pasito Blanco
Starting our journey further west at the lighthouse in Maspalomas, which marks the southernmost point in Europe, we drive past the tourist resort of Playa de las Meloneras and arrive at the Marina of Pasito Blanco.
Due to its isolated location at approx. 6 km (some 3.2 miles) west of Maspalomas, this new yacht marina, including a sailing school and a private camping site, is quite an attractive development, which was built only a few years ago.
The gate to the marina is guarded 24 hours a day, making it a secure place to leave a boat unattended for long periods. Big game fishing charters can also be made here.
The approach and entrance to the marina are straightforward and Pasito Blanco Marina (Club de Yates de Pasito Blanco) keeps a 24-hour listening watch on VHF channel 6. On arrival, the skipper should report to the port office during office hours: 09.00-13.00 and 15.00-17.00 hrs Monday to Friday and 09.00-13.00 hrs on Saturday, tel. 928 142194, fax 928 142546.
Water and electricity are supplied to all berths and are included in the charges. There are hot water showers and toilets on the outer wharf and showers are also available in the boatyard. As usual long-term rates are considerable lower than the daily rate and there is a 30% discount for stays over 6 months. The marina can provide a caretaker service for yachts laid-up afloat.
