The exclusive port of La Punta Yacht Club in Pasito Blanco was the chosen setting to mark a milestone in the Canary Islands' nautical world: the arrival of De Antonio Yachts, one of Europe's most prestigious boat design firms, in collaboration with Domingo Alonso PowerSports, a division of the powerful Domingo Alonso Group specializing in recreational and sports mobility. With an elegant and select event that combined live music, a marine setting, and contemporary design, Gran Canaria is positioning itself as a luxury nautical destination and an Atlantic platform for high-end vessels. The event marked the official presentation on the islands of the D36 and D42 models, minimalist jewels that embody the new philosophy of luxury at sea: efficiency, elegance, and integrated technology.
The choice of Pasito Blanco is no coincidence. This enclave, in the heart of the tourist destination in southern Gran Canaria, is establishing itself as a benchmark for high-income nautical tourism. With an exceptional year-round climate, more than 1.500 km of coastline in the archipelago, and more than 50 marinas, the Canary Islands offer unique conditions for the development of the sector. "The Canary Islands are a strategic location," emphasized Marc de Antonio, CEO and co-founder of De Antonio Yachts, who praised the shared vision with their new Canary Islands partner. For his part, Oliver Alonso, President and CEO of Domingo Alonso Group, emphasized that this alliance reinforces the group's commitment to innovation and premium recreational mobility: "We want to offer products that connect with those seeking different experiences where design, technology, and quality are the protagonists."
The arrival of De Antonio Yachts coincides with a transformative moment for southern Gran Canaria. In a context where the tourist profile is evolving toward personalized, sustainable, and high-value experiences, brands that integrate design, performance, and exclusivity are gaining prominence. The port of Pasito Blanco, with its proximity to areas such as Maspalomas, Meloneras, and the lighthouse area, emerges as a natural gateway to this new customer profile.
Furthermore, the availability of models in Gran Canaria and Tenerife guarantees a responsive service adapted to the island's environment, for both local and international clients. A progressive expansion of the fleet is planned, along with a calendar of activities and presentations to invigorate the sector and attract new audiences. De Antonio Yachts doesn't just sell boats. It sells a way of experiencing the sea. And the Canary Islands, with their Atlantic reach, reinforced connectivity with Europe and Africa, and growing network of luxury infrastructure, are ready to ride that wave. With an expanding nautical market, a booming network of local businesses, and an administration increasingly open to innovative tourism initiatives, the alliance between Domingo Alonso PowerSports and De Antonio Yachts could mark the beginning of a new era for the sector on the islands.
