A day on a yacht beats the usual beach routine. This shared 4-hour trip out of Puerto Rico pairs a chilled offshore sail with swimming time, snorkeling, and an open bar. Even better: the boat keeps the group small, max 12 people, so it feels friendly instead of chaotic.

I really like two things right away. First, the pickup-and-drop setup is simple: a van comes to your door about 30 minutes before departure, then you’re returned to the meeting point. Second, the onboard vibe stays relaxed while the crew actually runs the show, with hosts like Jonny and Suso making sure you’re comfortable, fed, and not rushed.

One consideration: the route can flex with weather. On breezier days, you might not get as far offshore as hoped, and it can also affect how long you spend in the water. Also, if you’re prone to motion sickness, take the operator’s hint seriously and plan for it.

Key things to know before you go

• Hotel pickup is included (van arrives ~30 minutes before; 5 minutes waiting time)
• Drinks and a lunch-style snack are included via an open bar (beer, sangria, soft drinks, juices, water)
• Snorkeling gear is provided, plus a floating platform and 2 paddle boards
• Most of the swim/snorkel time is by boat access to Playa del Perchel cove
• Optional add-ons cost extra (jetski, sea scooter, parasailing are separate)
• Max 12 passengers keeps the experience calm, social, and photo-friendly

Setting Sail From Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria, Without the Big-Tour Feel

This is a shared yacht tour with a very manageable headcount. You’re not packing into a loud speedboat with strangers who only want selfies. Instead, you get a proper small-group outing with space to sit inside or relax on the sun deck.

The day starts with an offshore departure right from Puerto Rico port. While you’re moving out, you’ll be offered a welcome glass of cava and feel the warm sun plus that cooling sea breeze. The guide gives a short orientation about what’s coming next, then you’re off.

If your Spanish is basic and your English is limited, you’re still in good shape since the tour is offered in English. And since there’s a captain and a guide, you’re not stuck guessing what to do once you hit the water.

The Route: Veneguera Pass-By, Perchel Cove Snorkel, Mogán Photos, Tauro Return

The total outing runs about 4 hours, and the timing is built around three main moments: sail out, swim/snorkel at the cove, then a relaxed cruise back.

Stop 1 (about 50 minutes): offshore sailing and a Veneguera pass

You depart Puerto Rico port and spend the first stretch sailing offshore with that welcome cava in hand. You also pass by Playa de Veneguera, where the guide explains what makes that stretch of coastline special.

This part matters because it sets the tone. You get the sea-air “vacation switch” early, and it’s usually the easiest time to get comfortable if you’re a little unsure about boats.

Weather can shift how this looks in practice. If conditions are windier, your offshore time and exact approach may change.

Stop 2 (about 1 hour 30 minutes): Playa del Perchel cove for snorkeling and paddle boards

This is the main event. You head toward the Mogán area for Playa del Perchel, an exclusive cove that’s reached from the sea. Once you arrive, you can snorkel and use paddle boards (and you may also find paddle-surf style time depending on how the crew sets it up).

The crew also prepares a snack mid-stop using fresh, seasonal ingredients. Then it’s order a drink, get back into your sunbathing rhythm, and enjoy the Atlantic views.

Two practical notes. First, the stopping point can change depending on weather, so don’t assume you’ll swim at exactly one spot no matter what. Second, this stop is built for activity but not pressure—you can choose to snorkel or keep it simple with a swim off the floating platform.

Stop 3 (about 30 minutes): Bay of Mogán photo and camera time

After the cove time, you cruise toward Mogán. You’ll have a short pause that’s mostly about scenery and photos rather than a long swim session.

Bring your camera even if you think you’re “just here to relax.” The bays and coastline angles from the water can turn ordinary travel snapshots into real keepers.

Stop 4 (about 1 hour): sailing past Playa de Tauro back to Puerto Rico

On the way back, you sail past La Playa de Tauro without stopping. You’re basically trading one last round of “look out at the coast” for the simple payoff of returning.

If you like the idea of a tour that doesn’t drag you onto land every hour, this final stretch is part of the charm.

Snorkeling, Paddle Boards, and That First Comfortable Swim

You get snorkeling equipment included, and the boat has a floating platform set up for easier access. In real-world terms, that means less hassle. You’re not hauling gear and hunting for a sandy entry point.

The cove stop is timed so you don’t feel rushed. You have enough time to:

• snorkel and look for fish around the swim area
• take a slower swim break
• use the paddle boards when you feel like moving

If you’re new to snorkeling, this setup helps. You’re on a floating base with gear provided, so you spend your energy on breathing and enjoying, not figuring out logistics.

One small consideration: getting in and out of the water depends on the ladder and boat design. If you’re not as steady on steps, take extra care during boarding. The crew is there to help, but it’s worth planning with that in mind.

Drinks and Snack Lunch: What’s Included vs What Costs Extra

This is one of the bigger value drivers. You’ll start with cava, and then you get a Soda/Pop open bar with beer, soft drinks, sangria, water, sparkling water, and juices. That covers the classic “one drink turns into three” scenario, but you stay in control since you choose when and what you drink.

Food is also handled in a simple, practical way: a snack mid-way through the main stop, made with fresh, seasonal ingredients, plus assorted snacks onboard.

What’s not included is the higher-end alcohol. Cocktails, wine, and mixed drinks cost extra. You can also add water sports later for set prices.

If you care about keeping the day easy—less time eating on the go, fewer decisions, more time in the sun—this setup fits.

Price and Value: Why This Costs $90.51 and What You’re Really Buying

At $90.51 per person, this isn’t the cheapest boat option in Gran Canaria. The value comes from stacking multiple things together in one ticket.

Here’s what you’re effectively paying for:

• a small-group 4-hour yacht experience
• hotel door pickup and return to the meeting point
• welcome cava plus a real onboard open bar
• snorkeling gear, a floating platform, and 2 paddle boards
• snacks and a mid-stop lunch-style snack

Add those up and it starts to make sense, especially if you’d otherwise pay separately for transport to the water, rentals, and guided activities. The tour is also capped at 12 passengers, so you get more breathing room than on larger shared trips.

Another value factor: how far it’s likely to go depends on weather. That’s not a marketing promise—it’s a reality on any sea trip here. But when conditions cooperate, you end up with a strong mix of sea time, swimming time, and onboard comfort for the price.

Comfort, Crew, and the Real-Day Logistics That Matter

This tour includes an air-conditioned vehicle for pickup and transport to the port area. The driver and crew coordination is part of why it runs smoothly.

What you should plan for:

• Pickup happens about 30 minutes before the start time.
• The van waits 5 minutes, so be ready when they arrive.
• If you meet at the port directly, arrive 15 minutes early.

The meeting point is Infinity Boat Tours Gran Canaria, Calle Amarre EC, C. Puerto Escala, 1, 35130 Puerto Rico, Las Palmas, Spain. The tour ends back at the meeting point.

On board, there’s seating both inside and outside, plus enough space that you’re not stuck sharing the same narrow corner with everyone. And if you’re the type who likes photos, the open seating and sun deck angles help.

Also, the operator specifically suggests bringing dizziness pills if you’re prone to getting dizzy. That’s not fluff. If you know you get motion sick, you’ll thank yourself later.

Optional Add-Ons: Jetski, Sea Scooter, Parasailing

The core experience is snorkeling and paddle boards with drinks and snack time. For extra speed and adrenaline, you can add:

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

These are separate from the base price. If you’re debating whether to add them, think about how you handle motion. If you’re motion-sensitive, you may prefer to keep your energy for the calmer swim and paddle board portion.

Who Should Book This (and Who Might Want Another Option)

This tour is a great match if you want a mix of:

• relax time on the water
• guided explanations about the coastline
• real snorkeling time with gear included
• an easy food-and-drink situation onboard
• a small-group feel

I especially think it works well for couples and groups that want a relaxed morning without lots of standing in lines. It’s also a good fit if you’re traveling with teenagers who want memorable photos—there’s plenty of time on the water and a fun, low-pressure vibe.

Who might reconsider? If your main goal is a long, far-offshore journey no matter what, understand that weather can change the route. This is still a sea day, so flexibility is part of the deal.

Should You Book This Infinity Boat Tours Yacht Trip?

Book it if you want the best kind of Gran Canaria water day: small group, simple pickup, snorkeling gear ready, and drinks included without you having to manage a bunch of details. The max 12 passengers is the secret sauce, and the combination of cava + open bar + snack makes it feel like more than just a boat ride.

Skip or compare alternatives if:

• you get motion sick easily and don’t plan for it
• you need guaranteed long offshore cruising regardless of wind
• you’re hoping all premium drinks and water sports are included in the base price

If you’re okay with a relaxed, weather-aware sea plan and you’d enjoy swimming from a boat with provided equipment, this is an easy yes.
