The 6th Gran Canaria International High Seas Fishing Open strengthens its international presence

 

From August 27th to 29th, the Pasito Blanco Marina hosted the sixth edition of the Gran Canaria International Deep-Sea Fishing Open . To mark the event, Gran Canaria Blue , an association dedicated to promoting the island as a leading destination for water sports and activities, organized two promotional events with international guests.

 

 

The participants accompanied the teams throughout the competition and promoted the event through their social media networks and other media outlets. They also took advantage of their stay to explore other experiences related to the sea and active tourism in Gran Canaria.

 

Among the guests were German content creator Babs Kijewski, specializing in fishing, along with Geoffrai Joel Juillar, photographer, videographer and owner of the French online fishing magazine 1max2peche.

 

 

During the first part of her stay, Babs stayed at the Marina Suites hotel , a marine-themed establishment, and enjoyed a day of sport fishing with Fish On! Blue Marlin . She spent the rest of her stay with her companion at the Hotel Suites & Villas by Dunas , surrounded by an oasis of native vegetation.

 

 

Meanwhile, Johannes Muller, a German journalist specializing in maritime fishing and a contributor to leading publications such as Blinker and Kutter & Küste, also traveled to Gran Canaria to cover the Open. However, the aim of his trip was not only to cover the competition but also to showcase Gran Canaria as a fishing tourism destination and a popular family holiday spot.

 

 

During his stay, Johannes stayed at the Marina Suites hotel and at the Gloria Palace Amadores Thalasso & Hotel , located on a cliff that offers amazing panoramic views over the ocean.

 

 

Her program was rounded out with various nautical experiences. The day before the event, she enjoyed a jet ski excursion with WaterSports Luis Molina . Later, she explored the island's seabed on a submarine tour with Submarine Adventure , and then enjoyed another day of sport fishing with Fish On! Blue Marlin.

 

 

 

Babs' experience also included activities outside the marine environment. Thanks to the rental service of Banana Bike Canarias , a partner of Gran Canaria Tri, Bike & Run , she was able to explore the island on an electric bike.

 

After several days discovering Gran Canaria from the sea and from land, the participants shared their experiences on social networks and different specialized media, contributing to showcasing internationally the variety of proposals linked to the ocean and active tourism that the island offers.
