Canary WaterSports
Canary WaterSports runs water activities from the harbour of Puerto Rico, in the municipality of Mogán in the south of Gran Canaria. Its 10-metre parascending boat, fitted with a take-off platform, lifts up to three people at a time on a 200-metre cable. There are also jet skis on a circuit or on a safari along the south coast, the El Diablo jet boat, the Crazy Sofa and the banana ride.
Canary WaterSports operates from the harbour of Puerto Rico, on Calle Puerto Escala in the municipality of Mogán, and says it has been working in the area for more than 25 years. Parascending is its main activity: you fly alone, in pairs or in groups of three from a 10-metre boat with a take-off and landing platform, on a 200-metre cable, and the company says there is no age limit. From up there you see the sea and the mountains of southern Gran Canaria at the same time.
The jet skis are two-seater Sea-Doo 1500 cc machines that leave from a floating platform off the coast. There is a circuit for first-timers and a guided safari along the south coast, past caves and beaches, with the route chosen according to the sea conditions. Under-16s may drive when accompanied by an adult. The El Diablo jet boat, with two engines and 850 horsepower, reaches 110 km/h through turns and manoeuvres, and the Crazy Sofa and banana ride complete the line-up. A T-shirt must be worn under the life jacket.
