Private Yacht Tour with Drinks Lunch and Snorkel Gran Canaria

A boat trip that actually feels personal is rare on Gran Canaria. This private yacht outing from Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria is built around snorkeling time and an easy open bar vibe, with your own crew keeping things smooth. The main catch to plan for is sea time, so if you get motion sick, bring the dizziness pills the operator recommends.

If you want a half-day that mixes sea views, photo stops, and simple water activities without coordinating buses or crowded beaches, you’ll like the format. You can also split the cost across a group up to 8, which is where the value really starts to make sense. Just know it’s weather dependent, and the captain may adjust the route.

Key highlights you’ll feel right away

• Private group for up to 8 with a captain and guide on hand the whole time
• Welcome cava plus open bar that includes beer, sangria, soft drinks, water, sparkling water, and juices
• Snorkeling gear and a floating platform built into the experience
• Two paddle boards included, so you can stay active without paying extra
• A snack lunch at the cove paired with Atlantic ocean views
• Crew names you might meet, including Captain Suso, Johnny, Vero, and Ana

Why this private yacht tour works from Puerto Rico

Gran Canaria’s south coast can be great from the shoreline, but it gets better when you’re watching it from offshore. This tour is designed for exactly that, sailing out with a guide’s commentary and time at a sea-only cove where you actually get wet.

What I like most is the mix of “do something” and “sit back.” You get real water time for snorkeling and paddle board use, but you also have long stretches where you can relax, take photos, and just enjoy the breeze.

The other big plus is that it’s private. For a group of friends, a date, or a family day that needs less hassle, you’re not stuck waiting for other people to shuffle in.

The start: hotel pickup, meeting point, and the welcome cava

Your day begins with a van pickup from your accommodation. You’re told to be ready about 30 minutes before departure, with a short waiting window of 5 minutes once the van arrives. If you’re going straight to the boat meeting point, go early, aiming to arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start.

The meeting point is Infinity Boat Tours Gran Canaria at Calle Amarre EC, C. Puerto Escala, 1, 35130 Puerto Rico, Las Palmas, Spain. From there, the plan is straightforward: you board, get your warm welcome, and settle in before the sailing starts.

You start with a glass of cava, which is a smart little touch. It doesn’t replace the full bar later, but it gets the mood right immediately, especially in the sun.

Puerto Rico port sail-out: the part that sets the pace

After departing from Puerto Rico port, you’ll sail offshore while enjoying sun and sea breeze. The guide gives a quick rundown of what’s coming, and the timing can shift based on weather.

This first stretch matters more than it sounds. It’s your transition from land expectations to sea reality. If you’re prone to feeling queasy, this is also when you’ll notice how the boat moves, so take it easy, look at the horizon, and pace your breathing.

This is also when the crew’s tone usually becomes clear. On similar private boats, the difference between a good and great day is how quickly everyone feels comfortable. The names you may hear onboard include Captain Suso and other crew like Johnny and Vero, with Ana also showing up as a key contact.

Veneguera cruise-by: quick views, easy context

You’ll pass by Playa de Veneguera for a short stop, with a guide explaining what’s notable about the beach. There’s no big “get off and explore” plan here. It’s more like a scenic orientation, giving you a sense of where you are on the coast before you head toward the more active portion of the trip.

For first-timers, this kind of quick orientation is useful. You get context without losing time that you’ll later wish you had for snorkeling and relaxing.

If you’re hoping for a long stretch of beach time, keep your expectations aligned. This is a sailing-focused outing with most of the “action” held for the sea cove stop.

The Perchel cove snorkeling stop: where the day turns into a memory

This is the heart of the tour. You head toward the Mogan area to the exclusive cove of Perchel, which you can only access from the sea. That access matters because it tends to feel more protected and more “boat day” than “walk by the beach” day.

This stop includes time for snorkeling, plus water options like paddle surf-style play. You also get a chance to use snorkeling equipment while the crew handles your snack and drinks setup.

A really practical tip: use the gear as soon as you’re ready, rather than waiting for the perfect moment. Sea visibility and conditions can change, and you don’t want to burn your best window on indecision.

This is also where you’ll feel the value of being private. You’re not competing for space in a crowded lineup. You can float, swim, and come back when you want, and the floating platform gives you a comfortable base.

Mogan photo time: short, scenic, and worth stepping into

After snorkeling, you’ll sail toward Mogan and take a brief time for photos. You’ll see Bay of Mogán from the water and likely spot plenty of camera-friendly angles, especially if the light is right.

This portion is short, so treat it like a “grab the best shots and keep moving” moment. If you’re traveling with kids or with people who want a low-effort break, it’s still a nice win because you get variety without a long walk.

Don’t stress if you feel like you only took a few photos. The boat provides a steady moving viewpoint, so even quick snapshots usually come out well.

Tauro beach cruise back: relax time on the return leg

On the way back toward Puerto Rico, you’ll pass Playa de Tauro without stopping. You still get about an hour cruising time, so you can stretch out, refocus, and enjoy the return sail while the coast slides by.

For some people, the return is the best part. You’ve already done the active things, so you can settle into the day like a slow vacation. For others, it’s the moment to keep an eye on the horizon because the boat can feel different after a more stop-and-go portion of the outing.

This cruise back is also where the crew’s service style becomes noticeable. The best days feel effortless, with people checking if you have what you need without hovering.

Snacks and drinks: what’s included, what costs extra

Food and drinks are a big part of why this tour rates so highly. You get assorted snacks, plus soda and an open bar that covers beer, soft drinks, sangria, water, sparkling water, and juices.

You also get the welcome cava at the start. Based on how the day flows, you might find the full drink setup ramps up after you’re underway, so don’t assume everything is instantly poured at boarding. The practical move is to enjoy the welcome cava, then settle into the bar flow once you’re at the first proper stop.

What’s not included is your choice of alcoholic drinks like cocktails, wine, and mixed drinks. Those are available on board at extra cost. If you know you want specific drinks, plan for that budget.

For lunch-like comfort, the cove snack setup is part of the appeal. People often mention simple favorites like tortilla potatoes among the snack options, so come hungry but expect a “boat snack meal,” not a formal sit-down restaurant lunch.

Comfort, gear, and crew service on board

The tour includes snorkeling equipment and a floating platform, plus two paddle boards. That’s the full activity kit for the core experience.

What’s not included are the add-on water sports. Jetski is 35 euros for 10 minutes. Parasailing is 35 euros per person for 10 minutes. Sea scooter is 20 euros per person for 10 minutes. If these are on your must-do list, decide early because they can change your pacing.

For comfort, you’ll be traveling in an air-conditioned vehicle on pickup and likely during transfer time. That matters in Gran Canaria’s sun, especially if you’re meeting outside and then heading straight to the dock.

As for the crew, named staff you might run into include Captain Suso, Johnny, Vero, and Ana, plus pickup contacts like Sole and Marcos. The consistent theme is friendly and attentive service, with a focus on keeping your group comfortable and informed.

Price and value: when $830.84 feels fair

This tour is priced at $830.84 per group for up to 8 people, lasting about 4 hours. That means the per-person cost changes a lot depending on how you split it.

• If you book with 2 people, you’re paying the premium of a private day.
• If you book with 6 to 8 people, it starts to look like value compared to paying individually for separate activities, taxis, and food.

The value isn’t just the price tag. It’s the combination: private sailing time, open bar, included snorkeling equipment, and paddle boards, plus snacks served while you’re at the cove.

Also, note that it’s booked on average about 58 days in advance. That’s a clue that good slots and weather windows matter, especially in peak season. If you’re traveling in busy months, book earlier so you don’t end up settling for a less ideal day.

Who should book this yacht tour, and who should skip it

This tour is a great fit if you want:

• a private half-day experience from Puerto Rico with snorkeling and paddle boards included
• a group-friendly plan where you can keep everyone together
• an easy day with hotel pickup so you don’t manage transport

It may be less ideal if:

• you want long beach walking time, because most stops are short or sea-based
• you get very motion sick, because even a short open-water sail can be a factor

The operator’s advice is to bring dizziness pills if you’re prone to getting dizzy. I’d take that seriously, especially if you’re not used to boats.

Families can also do well here since it’s “most travelers can participate,” but I’d still plan for calmer behavior and simple choices like staying near the boat base and using the floating platform.

Quick checklist before you go

• Bring your own swimwear, and consider a light cover-up for moving between deck and quiet seating.
• If you get seasick, pack your dizziness pills before pickup.
• Bring a phone or small camera case if you plan to capture the Bay of Mogán and Mogan angles.
• If you want jetski, parasailing, or a sea scooter, decide ahead so you’re not scrambling for timing.

Also remember alcohol rules: you can’t bring alcoholic beverages from outside, and only travelers over 18 can be served alcohol onboard. That’s useful to know so your group plans accordingly.

Should you book Infinity Boat Tours Gran Canaria?

I’d book this yacht tour if your idea of a perfect Gran Canaria day is clear water time, included snorkeling gear, paddle board fun, and an open bar that keeps the mood light. The private group format makes the experience feel more relaxed and more flexible than shared tours.

I’d think twice if you’re chasing lots of land time, because the experience is mostly about sailing and sea access. And if you know you get dizzy, don’t treat that as optional. Bring the dizziness pills the operator recommends, because the most enjoyable days are the ones where you feel comfortable from the first sail-out.
