Private Yacht Tour with Drinks and Snorkeling in Gran Canaria

Sun, sea, and a private boat make a fine afternoon. This four-hour sailing trip from Puerto Rico combines hotel pickup, cava, an open bar, snacks, snorkeling, paddle boarding, and coastal views around Mogán. I especially like the small-group setup, limited to your own party of up to eight, and the stop at Perchel Cove, which can only be reached from the water. The friendly hosting from Christian and Ronnie also gets repeated praise.

The main thing to consider is price. At $722.87 per group, this is good value for a full group of six to eight, but expensive for a couple or a small family. The sea can also make some people queasy, so bring motion-sickness tablets if you need them.

Key things to know before booking

• Perchel Cove is the main active stop: You can swim, snorkel, use the paddle board, and relax while the crew prepares fresh snacks.
• The price covers your whole group: Up to eight people can share the private boat, making the cost more reasonable for a larger party.
• Beer and sangria are included: The open bar also has soft drinks, juices, sparkling water, and regular water. Cocktails, wine, and mixed drinks cost extra.
• Pickup is offered from your accommodation: A van collects you about 30 minutes before departure, or you can meet at Puerto Rico 15 minutes early.
• Christian and Ronnie receive special praise: Their warm, attentive service is a major part of the experience.
• The tour keeps returning to the same port: You finish at Infinity Boat Tours Gran Canaria in Puerto Rico, with no separate return transfer to arrange.

Setting off from Puerto Rico with cava

Your boat leaves from Infinity Boat Tours Gran Canaria at Calle Amarre EC, C. Puerto Escala 1, in Puerto Rico. If you use the pickup service, a van arrives at your hotel, resort, or stated address about 30 minutes before the sailing time. Be ready on time, because the stated waiting period is only five minutes.

If you make your own way to the marina, arrive 15 minutes before departure. That small buffer matters. You need time to find the meeting point and get settled without starting the trip in a rush.

Once aboard, you receive a welcome glass of cava. The boat heads out from Puerto Rico while the guide gives a short explanation of the route and the day ahead. This is a pleasant start: you get your bearings, take in the fresh sea air, and settle into the relaxed rhythm of the trip.

The vessel has air conditioning, though the best part of being on a yacht is likely to be outside with the breeze. Bring sun protection and a light layer. The supplied information does not specify the boat’s seating arrangement, so I would not assume every seat is shaded or fully protected from wind.

The private format changes the mood. You are not sharing the boat with a large mixed crowd, and your group can enjoy the outing at its own pace within the planned route. That makes it a strong choice for families, couples traveling together, or a group of friends marking a special occasion.

Passing Veneguera Beach in about 10 minutes

The first longer stretch takes you along the coast toward Playa de Veneguera. The boat passes the beach rather than stopping there, with the guide explaining some of its particular features.

This is more of a scenic and informative section than an activity stop. You will not have time here for a swim or a long walk on shore. Still, it breaks up the sailing and gives you a chance to take photos from the water.

The short stop also shows how this tour works. Some places are viewed while moving, while the main time for swimming and equipment use comes later at Perchel Cove. If you want a trip focused almost entirely on getting in the water, keep that distinction in mind.

The main stop at Perchel Cove

The heart of the tour is Playa del Perchel, an exclusive cove near Mogán that can only be reached from the sea. You have about an hour and a half here, making it the point where the tour shifts from sightseeing to a proper boat day.

The included snorkeling equipment lets you explore from the yacht without arranging gear yourself. The tour also provides one paddle board and a floating platform. That gives your group several ways to use the stop: swim from the boat, float in the water, try the board, or simply stay aboard with a drink.

A floating platform is especially useful for people who want to enjoy the sea without constantly climbing back onto the yacht. It can also make the stop more social, since your group has a shared place to sit or hold on while taking a break.

The snorkeling is weather and sea-condition dependent, of course. The tour includes the equipment, but it does not promise a particular amount of marine life or perfect water visibility. I would treat snorkeling here as a pleasant part of the stop rather than the sole reason to book the trip.

While you swim and use the water equipment, the crew prepares assorted snacks using fresh and seasonal ingredients. The exact selection is not specified, but the food is intended to be served during this stop. This is a practical touch. You do not need to bring a full picnic, and you can eat without cutting the active part of the day short.

The drinks add to the easygoing feel. Included options are beer, soft drinks, sangria, water, sparkling water, and juices. A cocktail, wine, or mixed drink costs extra, so do not read open bar as every alcoholic drink being included. You can order a drink, sit back, and eat while looking out toward the Atlantic.

The water activities available at an extra charge are:

• Jet ski: €35 for 10 minutes
• Sea scooter: €20 per person for 10 minutes
• Parasailing: €35 per person for 10 minutes

These activities are optional, not part of the $722.87 package. The parasailing option received particularly positive attention from one group, whose party members paid extra and enjoyed it. If only one or two people want an added thrill, the separate pricing lets the rest of the group stay with the included activities.

You should also note the time limit. One and a half hours sounds generous, but it passes quickly if your group wants to eat, snorkel, use the paddle board, swim, and try an extra activity. Decide early who wants to do what, especially if you are considering a paid add-on.

Mogán views and time for photographs

After Perchel Cove, the boat continues toward Mogán. You get about 30 minutes for views and photographs around the special Bay of Mogán.

This section is less about a formal shore visit and more about seeing the coast from the yacht. Bring your camera or phone, since the route offers chances to capture the bay, the coastline, and relaxed moments aboard with your group.

The tour description does not say that you go ashore in Mogán. I would plan on staying on the boat unless the crew gives different instructions on the day. That is important if you were hoping to walk around the marina or visit the town itself. This experience is built around sailing, swimming, food, and coastal views, not a land-based visit to Mogán.

Some departure times may allow the light to soften later in the day. One party particularly enjoyed watching the sunset from a private boat with a cold drink. Sunset is not stated as a guaranteed feature, so treat it as a possible bonus rather than a promise when choosing your time.

The return past Tauro Beach

On the way back to Puerto Rico, the yacht passes Playa de Tauro. The boat does not stop there, and this final section lasts about an hour.

That hour gives you time to relax after the swim and food stop. You can continue enjoying the open bar, take more photos, or simply sit with the sea breeze before returning to the marina. It is also a useful buffer for a group that wants a calm finish rather than one last scheduled activity.

The full outing lasts about four hours, but the parts are not evenly split between activities. Much of the time is spent sailing between locations. That is a strength if you enjoy being on the water, but less appealing if you want nonstop snorkeling or several shore visits.

What the $722.87 group price really means

The listed price is $722.87 for up to eight people, not per person. For eight people, that works out to about $90 per person. For six, it is about $120 each. For four, it rises to roughly $181 per person, and for two it is about $361 each.

That calculation is the key to judging value. A full group gets a private yacht, captain, hotel pickup, cava, included drinks, snacks, snorkeling gear, a paddle board, and a floating platform. Split among six to eight people, the cost can make sense for a special day on the coast.

For a couple, the private setting may still be worth it if privacy matters more than keeping the price low. But if you mainly want a short swim and a drink by the sea, this is not the economical choice. The package becomes more attractive when you value the entire four-hour outing and expect to use the food, drinks, equipment, and pickup.

The extra activities need their own budget. A jet ski, sea scooter, or parasailing adds to the total. Cocktails, wine, and mixed drinks also cost extra. Beer and sangria are already included, so you can keep the day within the quoted price if you skip the add-ons.

The service style from Christian and Ronnie

The human side of this trip is one of its strongest points. Christian is praised for being a great host who stayed available when needed while still giving the group privacy. That balance matters on a private charter. You want help with drinks, equipment, and timing, but you do not want constant interruption.

Ronnie is also singled out for making the whole experience special, with exceptional service. The pickup service receives praise too, including a smooth return to the hotel by a friendly driver.

Service can vary from one departure to another, and the provided information does not promise that either Christian or Ronnie will be on every trip. Still, their names give you a useful sense of the style to expect: attentive, friendly, and not overly intrusive.

The private format helps here. On a large shared excursion, the guide must divide attention among many groups. With only your own party aboard, questions and requests are easier to manage, and the day can feel more personal.

Who will enjoy this yacht trip most

I would recommend this experience most strongly to:

• Groups of six to eight who can share the fixed price
• Friends who want drinks, swimming, snacks, and optional water sports
• Families who prefer a private boat to a crowded excursion
• Couples celebrating an occasion and willing to pay for privacy
• People who enjoy a mix of sailing and water activities rather than nonstop snorkeling
• Anyone who values hotel pickup and a return to the same accommodation area

It may be less suitable if you dislike boats, get seasick, or want a long visit on land. The operator specifically suggests bringing dizziness tablets if you get dizzy easily. That is sensible advice, especially since the outing involves several hours on open water.

The tour is described as suitable for most people, but no detailed accessibility information is provided. If you have mobility needs or require special assistance, ask the provider before booking rather than assuming the yacht and pickup vehicle will meet your needs.

Practical details that can save you trouble

Confirmation arrives within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. The tour is offered in English, and it is a private activity for your group alone.

Pickup is available from your hotel, resort, or accommodation address. You need to provide the exact location and agree on a time. Since the van waits only five minutes, be at the door early.

If you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time, you can receive a full refund. Changes or cancellations made within 24 hours are not accepted for a refund. The local start time controls the cutoff.

Good weather is required. If poor weather forces cancellation, you will be offered another date or a full refund. This policy is fair for a sea excursion, but it means you should avoid building an important, immovable plan around this exact departure.

Bring sun protection, a phone or camera, and any motion-sickness medicine you normally use. You might also want a dry bag for personal items, though one is not listed as an included item. Do not count on cocktails or wine being part of the open bar.

Should you book this private Gran Canaria yacht tour?

Book it if you can fill most of the eight places and want a relaxed private day with food, drinks, swimming, and coastal views. The best value comes from using the full package: hotel pickup, cava, included drinks, snorkeling equipment, paddle board, floating platform, snacks, and four hours on the water.

I would be more cautious if you are a party of two, mainly want snorkeling, or hope to spend time walking around Mogán. In those cases, the cost may feel high and the sailing time may take up more of the day than you expect.

For a group that wants privacy, attentive hosting, and a flexible-feeling afternoon at sea, this is a strong choice. Just plan for motion, confirm your pickup details, and remember that the paid water sports and premium drinks are extras.
