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 !”

“Booked this trip last minute as I really wanted to see the whales and dolphins and the advert made it seem special. The boat was clean and well kept and the crew friendly and informative. We sailed out a long way and with the sea breeze and sun disappearing behind clouds quite often it did get a bit nippy out there so best to take layers in case you need to wrap up at times. Snacks and drinks were offered throughout the trip which was fab and we managed to catch the spout of a Brydes whale at one point on the way back. No dolphins seen unfortunately. I was…”
