If you’re going to lift out, then Marina Lanzarote really should be your first choice in the Canary Islands. More info here: http://sailingtheatlantic.com/boat_lift_marina_lanzarote.html or on their facebook page.

We stayed in Arrecife during September of 2017. The marina was very nice, well kept, and security was good (locking gates on each pontoon.) Slips were floating finger docks with electrical and water hookups. The bathrooms were nice and updated. They had 2 washing machines and one dryer.

There are many shopping stores and several restaurants within the marina itself. The Asian restaurant had the best deal at happy hour each day – 2.50 euros for a large beer. There was a Dino and Mercadona supermarket around a 20-minute walk from the marina. Both supermarkets offered good prices and deals for stocking up for longer voyages.

We were recommended to go to La Tasca (or Tascana – something like that) for the best tapas. It is right along the large lagoon in town where all the little boats are kept. Beautiful view and excellent tapas.

The volcano bus day tour was a good way to see some of the island – particularly the volcanic rock. If you’re wanting to ride a camel, this is the place to do it – you get a fairly decent camel ride (around 20 minutes) up and around some of the volcanic area. Get one of the camel guides to snap a photo of you on the camel.

The marine store in the marina was very useful. The guy there spoke very good English, German, Spanish, and went out of his way to try and get anything we needed.

We visited Marina Lanzarote (Arrecife) in March/April 2016. A clean, well-maintained marina with friendly staff. Restaurants and a little supermarket are nearby. Good price. 11m for around €16,- (10% off because of our toerzeilers membership). Also near the airport (by buss) where you can easily pick up a cheap rental car to explore the island.

Have been their several weeks now – staff really helpful, excellent price compared to other marinas on the island, hot water and excellent showers, gates locked overnight, shops and restaurants at end of pontoons and main town and airport very close.

The new Marina is now (Oct 19 2014) in function and can receive yachts of over 30 meter. Staff is friendly and helpful. Docking at floating pontoons with “finger” pontoons between boats. Very nice Marina 10 minutes walk from Arrecife centre.
