Full Description & Details
Real Club Nautico de Gran Canaria is a private yacht club founded in 1908, located on the island of Gran Canaria in Las Palmas. The club covers 45,000 square meters and operates a port with 135 berths plus a dry dock that can hold over 150 sailing boats. It is fully equipped for maritime services, including a 60-ton hoist for hauling vessels out of the water.
The club offers extensive onshore amenities: an exhibition hall, library, modern gym with simulators, three tennis courts, a basketball court, a heated swimming pool, squash and martial arts halls, a Turkish bath, sauna, game room, youth club, billiard room, study, internet room, massage room, hairdresser, and TV and music rooms. A restaurant with two dining rooms (one inside, one on a large terrace) and a poolside bar serve members with an inexpensive but extensive menu. The club is private, so access to facilities and berths is typically reserved for members and their guests.
How to get there
The marina is situated in Las Alcaravaneras, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, on the eastern side of the island. The approach is from the Atlantic Ocean into the port of Las Palmas; the club's berths are within the sheltered harbor area. The maximum draft is 3 meters, and the maximum vessel length is 20 meters.
The club monitors VHF channel 11 for communications. Mariners should consult local port authorities for current entry procedures, as the harbor is busy with commercial and recreational traffic. No specific waypoints or bearing instructions are provided in the source; skippers should rely on standard nautical charts and local notices to mariners when approaching.
