Tenerife living by Marina Tenerife Los Gigantes is not all about boats.

Tenerife living by the marina (yacht harbour) Los Gigantes means simple pleasures like feeding old crumbs to fish in the bay.

The privilege, however is not for everybody.

You must know the harbour master, have a boat in the port or, be a member of Los Gigantes harbour club.

Why? Safety is rule number 1 here.
There is a barrier when you want to come in just buy the little shop where you can buy bread.

By the way, it's considered good manners to bring the fish in Marina bay old crumbs.

One meets for socializing over a beer which might be the dirt cheap local Dorada. How dirt cheap?

It costs little more than water which is not cheap.(EU 120-EU 1.50 elsewhere and a liter bottle at supermarket, only, EU 1.20 as by year 2008)

People at the club are all very fond of Tenerife water sports.

They go diving, fishing, sailing, wind surfing, deep sea fishing or,
they might bring around a local beauty for the next boat trip to Mazca.

Some might play a game of darts, make arrangements for a tennis or golf get together.

Some might even argue over the latest Labour Party gossip in London town.

Those who sport liquor more than activities of the water will be seen in the pubs of this marina in Tenerife which have a heavy Spanish touch.

That's all part of Tenerife living in Los Gigantes.

During the short time I was last on shore there those pubs were quite full and few boats in the marina were coming or going. Tour crafts seemed to be all out on sea.

The scene in the marina can of course not be compared with Monaco. The mood is more down to earth.

Life is friendly within the relatively small community.

People give you tips where to find spares for your boat or, where to have it fixed if you don't want to do it yourself.Of course, the town is geared up for it.

I have a friend who is very fond of Tenerife living in Los Gigantes.

He has his boat moored in the Marina Tenerife in Los Gigantes .

However, he doesn't have the time to use it much and is a bit unhappy of having to pay like EU 700/year to keep there.

Please, get in touch with the harbour club to find out what it costs, nowadays...

The harbour master, by the way is running his marina very efficiently.

Second hand yachts may be bought or, you might be able to sell yours.

Don't worry, people in the club might have their own insider tips.
