Visiting Marina Rubicón
In the south of Lanzarote, Yaiza stands out as one of the most remarkable villages in the Canary Islands. Its history sets it apart, as it sits on the edge of the region buried by the volcanic eruptions of 1730. Having been partially spared, it remains one of the best-preserved areas in the region. Recognized multiple times for its aesthetic appeal, the town maintains a refined atmosphere that honors traditional architecture. Within this setting, Marina Rubicón serves as a focal point. The promenade is situated near two major landmarks, the resort town of Playa Blanca and the natural monument of Los Ajaches, a volcanic range.
A Hub for Daily Life and Activity
Opened in 2003, this marina functions primarily as a docking facility. Set against a backdrop of the ocean, watching the colorful monohulls and 50-meter yachts is a sight in itself. Many boat excursions to Lobos Island or Fuerteventura depart from here, and a walk along the docks quickly reveals that Marina Rubicón is a social center. With its towering palm trees, white buildings, and high-end boutiques, the area feels polished. Small restaurants with outdoor seating offer a chance to sample local seafood. Common menu items include grilled vieja (parrotfish) and the famous papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes). A sailing school and a diving center provide water activities for visitors, and going underwater here is like visiting a museum. Just 300 meters from the marina, near Playa de Las Coloradas (Las Coloradas Beach), sculptures by Jason deCaires Taylor sit at a depth of 12 meters. Distinctive and characterful, the marina reflects the personality of Lanzarote.

The port is modern and well maintained, with plenty of restaurants, cafes, and shops. It is an ideal starting point for water activities like diving or boat trips. If you want to head over to Fuerteventura, this is the right place to catch the ferry. I recommend booking your ticket online.
