Marina of 1,363 berths in the Port of La Luz on Gran Canaria, and the starting point of the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers every November.
Marina Las Palmas, also known as the Muelle Deportivo, is the leisure marina run by Puertos de Las Palmas, the port authority of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. According to its official website, it offers 1,363 pontoon berths for vessels from 6 to 50 m, with a 5 m draft, and reports a high average occupancy. It does not yet accept vessels over 50 m: the marina announces a project for an area reserved for them in the basin closest to the city's seafront, together with a southern extension of about 600 berths. The marina office is open Monday to Friday from 9 am to 2 pm and from 4 pm to 7 pm, and on weekends and public holidays from 9 am to 2 pm; berth allocation is requested online. Every November the marina is the starting point of the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC), run by World Cruising Club since 1986: the 2026 edition leaves Las Palmas on 22 November bound for Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia. On 8 October 2026 the marina announced temporary anchorage areas for leisure boats during the rally. According to the Canarian public broadcaster RTVC, the 2023 edition drew more than 250 registered yachts, a record, with about 1,200 crew members in the city.
