Gran Canaria · CRUISES & BOAT TOURS
68 tours
Nearly every boat in the south leaves from Puerto Rico, Mogán or Arguinegüin, and what separates them is the water, the lunch and the size of the crowd. Here are the best Gran Canaria boat trips: what each includes, how long you get in the sea, and which sail early enough to beat the afternoon chop.

Sail Gran Canaria's southwest coast on a spacious catamaran with unlimited sangria, beer, drinks, snorkeling, SUP, and fresh lunch.
“It was an excellent day - a very good friendly crew who worked well as a team . Being on a large sailing yacht was awesome. We loved the fact the cat wasn’t too crowded and really enjoyed kayaking and snorkelling in the sea. The lunch was excellent and plenty to go round. I liked the fact the Salty Canarian potatoes were brought by kayak over to the yacht, warm, from a farming settlement! Very well organised trip, and a wonderful activity to do. Happy committed staff and very good mini bus pick ups - awesome trip !”

A lovely ride out along the coast, lots of photo opps (the hosts happily take as many pictures as you want and then email them to you after) and a good amount of time snorkelling with all the kit provided. A lovely little bay with not many people around. Saw loads of fish and even an Octopus which was rare and a real treat! The lunch and Sangria was delicious. It was a small number of people on the boat and thost hosts speak several…”

4-hour catamaran cruise on Gran Canaria south coast from Puerto Rico, with lunch, drinks, banana boat, and chances at dolphins.
“Definitely recommend!! From the moment we showed our tickets, the crew members was more than friendly towards us always had a smile and laughing with guests. Great experience to go out and see the dolphins swimming alongside us. As we stopped for a swim, they were plenty of activities for everyone to be involved in. From banana boats, jet skis to cave experiences, it was a fantastic. Then on the way back we had the joys of ecoeirence the views of the 3 historical bays and for others music and a feel good factor to end your journey.”
