Ocean Charter Club — Yacht Charter and Boat Tours in Gran Canaria

Ocean Charter Club is a yacht charter company based at the Pasito Blanco Marina on the southern coast of Gran Canaria, near Maspalomas. It offers yacht, sailboat, and catamaran rentals for private excursions, sport fishing, and whale watching in the waters off the southwest coast of Gran Canaria.

Location in Pasito Blanco

The Pasito Blanco Marina is just a few kilometers from Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés. The southern coast of Gran Canaria enjoys favorable weather conditions year-round, with calm waters and pleasant temperatures, allowing for uninterrupted operations all twelve months of the year. The marina is easily accessible by car, public transportation, or taxi from the hotel districts.

Available Fleet

• Motor yachts: between 12 and 18 meters in length, with a flybridge, sun deck, cabins, and bathroom. For half-day or full-day excursions. Capacity of 8 to 12 people.
• Sailboats: cruising sailboats between 10 and 15 meters, for leisurely sailing and anchoring in coves that are difficult to reach from land.
• Catamarans: stable vessels ranging from 12 to 16 meters, with spacious living areas and bow nets. The preferred option for celebrations and large groups.

All vessels include certified safety equipment, a sound system, a refrigerator, and snorkeling gear.

Private Excursions

• Half-day (3–4 hours): Cruise along the southern coast, with a stop for swimming and snorkeling, dolphin watching, and the option of onboard catering.
• Full day (6–8 hours): an extended trip to Puerto de Mogan or Gui Gui. Stops for swimming, lunch on board, and anchoring in quiet coves.
• Sunset (2–3 hours): Watch the sunset from the sea with appetizers and drinks included. Very popular for special occasions.

Sport Fishing

The waters off the southern coast of Gran Canaria are internationally renowned for their sport fishing. The proximity of deep waters to the coast attracts large pelagic species:

• Deep-sea fishing: catch-and-release of blue and white marlin, tuna, dorado, and wahoo. Marlin season runs from May to October.
• Bottom fishing and coastal trolling: sea bream, wrasse, grouper, barracuda, and sawfish. Accessible to less experienced anglers.
• Professional equipment: fighting chairs, trolling rods, high-end reels, depth sounder, and radar.
• Experienced captain: every trip includes a captain with extensive experience in Canary Islands waters.

Cetacean Watching

The channel between Gran Canaria and Tenerife is one of the best places in Europe for cetacean watching:

• Bottlenose dolphins: permanent residents; sightings are practically guaranteed year-round.
• Atlantic spotted dolphins: common in the summer; they often approach boats.
• Tropical pilot whales: commonly found in deep waters near the coast.
• Sperm whales and fin whales: seasonal sightings in spring and fall.

The tours comply with current cetacean protection regulations in the Canary Islands.

Professional Skipper Included

All boats depart with a certified professional skipper who is responsible for navigation, safety, and attending to the group. They know the coastline, local conditions, and the best anchorage and sighting spots.
