I’ve been in Tenerife, the Canary Islands for a week en route to the Caribbean with a new Lagoon 500 catamaran. Here’s some up to date info about facilities.
I’ve been into three marinas on the south coast, Marina Tenerife (Santa Cruz), Radazul (approx. 5 miles down the coast from Santa Cruz), and finally Marina San Miguel (located west of Los Abrigos, 15 mins. SW of the airport Tenerife Sur). Marina staff very helpful in all of them and waiting on the dock to help with lines.
I’ve found useful chandleries in Los Abrigos (near the Aeropuerto sure), Los Cristianos (Pesquera y Navales, Calle Dulce Maria Loinaz), and Playa San Juan – west coast between Los Cristianos and Los Gigantes (Nautica Sur, Calle Lanzarote). Each of these has a good stock of stainless parts, electronics, and electrical parts, ropes etc.
Also, Alayon (Calle Juan XXIII, Los Cristianos), and Ferretaria Playa S.L. (Playa San Juan – almost opposite the chandlery) have stocks of camping gas bottles.
