Sunset Sailing in Pasito Blanco with Blue Dream

Off the southern coast of Gran Canaria, the small marina town of Pasito Blanco offers a gateway to an unmatched sailing experience with Blue Dream. Centered on their signature trip, Atardecer en el Atlántico - Solo Navegación, this 2.5-hour journey invites adventurers to take the helm and glide through the tranquil Atlantic waters toward the iconic Maspalomas Lighthouse. This lighthouse stands as a stark beacon against the sprawling Maspalomas Dunes—a rare desert-like ecosystem on an island, where golden sands meet volcanic rock formations.

Blue Dream specializes in intimate, solo sailing adventures that focus on the synergy between the sailor and the sea. The trip begins with a welcome glass of cava, easing guests into the rhythm of the ocean. As the sailboat cuts through calm waters, the expansive coastline unfurls with cliffs, dunes, and surf. Guests will savor a carefully selected local snack, grounding the experience in the flavors of Las Palmas.

What sets this adventure apart is its timing: sailing into the setting sun where guests watch the Atlantic horizon flush crimson. Those with keen eyes might witness the elusive green flash—a brief optical phenomenon visible only in clear conditions at sunset, making for an unforgettable moment at sea.

Blue Dream is a standout in southern Gran Canaria’s outdoor scene, blending the island’s rich maritime heritage with hands-on sailing in a setting that boasts both natural beauty and cultural depth. Pasito Blanco, less crowded than busy tourist hubs, offers sailors a peaceful, authentic connection to the ocean and island environment, making this sunset sail an ideal choice for those seeking something beyond the typical day trip.

Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or trying solo navigation for the first time, this trip mixes adventure, local charm, and nature’s spectacle in a compact, memorable itinerary that highlights what makes Gran Canaria’s southern coast truly special.
