The morning trip includes a seasonal lunch, while the afternoon sailing serves tapas. Pickup is available south of the island, with English, Spanish, German, and French support.

“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 !”

4.Catamaran Tour with Lunch on Pristine Beaches

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 165 reviews · 4.5 hours · from $87 per person

Sail from Puerto de Mogán along Gran Canaria’s rugged south coast aboard a clean, modern catamaran limited to 30 people. Natalia and the crew serve paella, fruit, cava, beer, sangria, and soft drinks while you swim, snorkel, explore caves, or use paddleboards. Hotel pickup is available in southern Gran Canaria.

“What a fantastic day out! Amazing crew, super clean and comfortable boat and they even had 0.0% beers for us non-drinkers which was a pleasant surprise. We made new friends and had a laugh. Only feedback would be to ensure pick up times are correct - we arrived a hour before we needed to - and the trip was only 4 hours, not 4.5 as advertised. Overall a great day. Many thanks.”

The Afrikat crew were all incredible from start to finish. The owner Potter is a laugh and a half and made the trip that extra special! The cocktails were AMAZING! My favourite was the screaming orgasim lol 🤣!! You could also do a variety of water sports and pay with your card or apple pay which was fab as I don't carry cash with me. We did the jet skis, speed boat and the donut rides and wow we were sore…”
