Cava on the Atlantic feels like a reset. This private yacht tour in Gran Canaria pairs warm guided sailing with an easy time in the water, including snorkeling gear and a paddle board. You’ll also get an onboard snack set while you cruise along viewpoints most people only see from the shore.

I like how the day stays simple and flexible: you’re with a small group (up to 8), the captain runs the boat, and the host keeps the vibe relaxed. The only real consideration is the sea. If you get motion-sick easily, plan for it—this kind of ride can be smoother with the right weather and a little preparation.

Key highlights you’ll care about

• Private group up to 8 people: less crowd noise, more control over the pace
• Welcome cava + open bar: beer, soft drinks, sangria, water, sparkling water, juices
• Perchel cove water time: snorkeling plus paddle board/floating platform access
• Appetizer prepared onboard: food happens while you’re enjoying the Atlantic views
• Pass-bys with local commentary: Veneguera, Mogán Bay, and Tauro beach from the water
• Pickup offered: an air-conditioned van collects you about 30 minutes before sailing

A private yacht day that starts right where you are

This is built for a group up to 8, so you don’t share the boat with strangers. That matters more than it sounds. When the group is small, it’s easier to hear your captain, easier to organize water time, and you get the kind of privacy that turns a basic sightseeing cruise into an actual hangout.

Your day runs for about 4 hours, give or take. You’ll meet at Infinity Boat Tours Gran Canaria at Calle Amarre EC, C. Puerto Escala, 1, 35130 Puerto Rico. If you use hotel pickup, a van comes to your door about 30 minutes before departure. If you show up on your own, arrive 15 minutes early so the schedule stays smooth. The team allows a short 5-minute waiting time, so don’t roll up at the last minute.

Cava, open bar, and snacks: what you can expect

One of the best value parts here is that you’re not just paying for the boat—you’re paying for the relaxed “we’ll take care of you” feeling. You get a welcome glass of cava when you head out.

Then the onboard open bar covers:

• beer
• soft drinks
• sangria
• water (including sparkling water)
• juices

There’s also an assorted snack selection. The exact snack variety can vary, but the idea stays the same: you’re not stuck waiting for food while you’re out on the water.

Alcoholic drinks like cocktails, wine, and mixed drinks cost extra on board. So if your plan is an all-day full bar with cocktails, budget for add-ons. If your plan is enjoying a drink or two while you cruise and snorkel, the included setup usually hits the sweet spot.

The route around Mogán Bay: what each segment feels like

The day has a nice rhythm: you cruise, you get short viewpoint moments, you spend a longer stretch at the best water area, then you ease back toward Puerto Rico.

Leaving Puerto Rico with cava and a short briefing

You set off from the port of Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria. This first segment is about getting settled: you’re sailing out while you enjoy the sun, the breeze, and that welcome cava. Your guide gives a quick explanation of what’s coming next, which helps you know where to look as the coastline rolls by.

The boat time here is mostly about atmosphere—no rush, just starting the day with motion.

Passing Playa de Veneguera for quick coastline context

Next you head along the coast toward the Veneguera area. You don’t stop here for long; it’s more of a scenic pass-by with a bit of local explanation. It’s ideal if you like learning what you’re seeing without losing time.

You’ll only get about 10 minutes here, so think of it like a highlight window—enough to orient you, not enough to turn into a long detour.

Perchel cove: the water-time anchor of the day

This is where most people feel the payoff. You move toward the Mogán area and the Perchel cove, which you can access from the sea. That access is a big deal: it means you’re not negotiating footpaths or crowded spots. The boat becomes the easy entrance.

This segment is about water activities:

• snorkeling with included equipment
• time in the water around the boat
• paddle board time (there’s 1 paddle board included)
• a floating platform to hang out and transition in and out of the water

While the crew prepares an onboard appetizer with fresh, seasonal ingredients, you’re also encouraged to order a drink and settle into the view. This is also the time where extras are offered if you want more adrenaline: jetski, sea scooter, or parasailing are available for additional cost.

Practical thought: if you want snorkeling and paddle board time, plan to do it early in this segment. The longer you wait, the more likely the conditions and timing can shift for everyone on the boat.

A short camera moment in Mogán

After the main water stop, you get a 30-minute stretch around Mogán Bay. This is the “don’t forget your camera” phase. You’re there long enough to grab photos and take in the shape of the shoreline, but it doesn’t turn into another long stop that drains the day.

If your group is split—some like photos, some like just relaxing—this stop is usually a good compromise.

Sliding past Tauro beach on the way back

On your return toward Puerto Rico, the boat sails past La Playa de Tauro without stopping. This makes the final hour feel like an easy cruise instead of a final sprint.

It’s a good closing rhythm if you want the day to end peacefully. You’ll still get views, you just won’t be climbing on and off the boat again.

Snorkeling and paddle board gear included, so you can keep it light

You don’t have to pack snorkeling gear for this one. Included equipment covers snorkeling, plus you’ll have a paddle board and access to the floating platform.

That changes how you plan. With gear included, your prep list becomes about comfort:

• wear swim-friendly clothes and easy footwear for getting around before you get wet
• keep your essentials secure (phone and keys should be handled carefully near water)
• if you’re sensitive to motion, consider the suggestion to bring motion-sickness pills so you can enjoy the ride fully

If you’re new to snorkeling, the platform and the included equipment make it easier to ease in at your own pace. If you’re experienced, you’ll still appreciate that the boat is set up for quick water access from the sea.

The hosts set the tone: professional, but not in your space

The most consistent theme is the way the experience balances care with privacy. The captain is included, and the host/guides handle the flow while letting your group enjoy the day without constant interruption.

In particular, I noticed how hosts like Christian and Ronnie come across as hands-on when needed—then step back. That’s the difference between a strict tour and a private boat outing. You get help with what matters (timing, where to go, what’s happening next), but you’re not being herded every few minutes.

If you’re celebrating something or just want a slower pace with friends, this kind of hosting style is a big part of the value.

Price and value: what $722.87 per group really buys

The price is $722.87 per group for up to 8 people, lasting about 4 hours. That sounds high until you do the math with group size.

• If you fill the boat with 8 people, it comes out to roughly $90 per person.
• If you’re a smaller group, the per-person cost goes up.

What you’re paying for beyond the boat:

• captain and guided sailing
• pickup in an air-conditioned vehicle (when selected)
• welcome cava
• an open bar with beer, sangria, soft drinks, water, sparkling water, and juices
• assorted snacks
• snorkeling equipment
• 1 paddle board and a floating platform
• an onboard appetizer at the main water stop
• a private format, meaning your group stays together on the boat

In plain terms: the value is strongest when you share it with enough people to keep the per-person cost down. Even then, it’s not a “cheap activity” kind of day—but it can be excellent value for what feels like a full, hosted half-day at sea.

Who should book this private yacht tour

This works especially well for:

• small groups who want privacy (friends, family, couples traveling together)
• people who want a guided day at sea without doing a long, complex itinerary
• anyone interested in snorkeling with gear provided and quick, direct access from the boat
• groups that want included drinks and an easy food setup while cruising

It might be less ideal if:

• you hate any boat movement at all (bring motion-sickness support if you’re prone to dizziness)
• you only want a beach day and aren’t interested in the water time or the onboard setup
• you expect cocktails and wine included by default (those are extra)

Should you book? My straightforward take

Book it if you want a private, small-group boat experience with included drinks, snorkeling equipment, and actual time in the water around the Mogán area. The combination of a welcome cava, open bar, onboard appetizer, and guided sailing makes this feel like more than a “look at the coast” cruise.

Skip or adjust your expectations if you’re counting on lots of premium alcohol. Also, keep weather in mind. This experience depends on good conditions, and the operator will offer another date or a refund if it can’t run due to poor weather.

If you’re ready for a relaxed half-day with real sea time and an easy, hosted pace, this is a solid choice.
