    Beware that rats are a problem here. We were not told and one got on board and caused chaos! It is a known issue here apparently. Close all hatches fully!

    Also, no contact could be made by VHF, email or phone. On arrival, we were told a price for berthing, electric and water separately. We were charged for it all, even though we did not require water or electric. As such it was not much cheaper than the private marinas.

    Beware leaving the boat here over winter as the southerly swell can make it dangerous and boats have sustained major damage.

    Hola! We are anchoring at Gran Tarajal at the moment for the second day, next to the marina, in front of the beach. We have a 44 ft long, 18 ton, steel sailing boat and anchor holds well on the sandy bottom. Upon arrival, the other night gusts were quite fierce coming over the town and the hills behind and next to it but had no problems.
    We have a slight swell at the moment but does bother us. The water is clear, nice for swimming directly off the boat. The town is very local(which we like), not touristy though there are tourists in restaurants and walking around. We ate at the Perro restaurant on the left side of the beach (looking from our boat). Excellent tapas mix of various selections for 12 euro each. The wine was good too. We had a glance at the portions of the Indian restaurant right next door and promised ourselves to try that too.
    All in all, a quiet and peaceful Place to anchor and relax.

    Marina is up and running again, we just arrived and I talked to the marineros, they confirmed sailing yachts are welcome to come again. There’s still one ship sunk but the position is clearly marked. Maybe don’t enter the port at night but I could be wrong. Radio channel 9 before entering.

    GT seems still out of order. Marina doesn’t appear on the website. TransOceans local officer reported it’s not working and points to Morro Jable as alternative

    Update: oil must is pumped out of the wrecks. Rarely an oil spot around the pontoons. Only some oil at the end of the harbour. They are busy to lift (parts of) the wrecks.

    Gran Tarajal has suffered severe damage due to storm Emma.
    http://sailingtheatlantic.com/gt_damage.html. The docks as mentioned above have been broken for years and never repaired. Lifting your boat takes a minimum of 2 weeks of paperwork with Puerto Canarios, with no absolute promise of a time frame. Yes, there are a couple of shops, but if you want to lift here, bring your supplies with you.

    Easy to enter harbour with good protection. There is a shop with boat supplies nearby and it is possible to get your boat lifted at the near Varadero. We saw boats put on drums and wooden beams. But we also heard that the have regular stands for boats.
