Apollo,
Hope you are keeping well and it's nice to see you on the forums again!
There always seems to be activity in the boat yard at Puerto Colon so there is obviously work repairing boats.
I have only ever seen people that appear to be locals working there though, so it may be a difficult place to get a job. (If it's possible at all)
Not the sort of thing you can do from your home either...depending on the size of the boat, I guess!
Maybe someone else will be able to help more. _________________

Over the years I have known people to work in Los Cristianos and Puerto Colon. This seems to be very much a case of knowing the right people when a boat is due for some work and then being used as casual labour. There may be something in the future in the new marina San Miguel at Amarilla golf. I do have clients based there. Bear in mind that your friend will be competing with cheap local labour.
I hope that all is well with you. _________________ .

| Hi Apollo, I am afraid I know nothing about your question not being a boating person, but thought I would just come and say a big hello from me and that I hope you are OK xx |

I'd volunteer to pick you up at the airport but my car will only take 1 medium sized suitcase and no woman travels light.  _________________ .
