Cruising offshore from Puerto Rico feels instantly like you switched gears. This shared yacht tour combines an easy sail, snorkeling and paddle boarding, and an open-bar vibe with a relaxed pace and real time in the water. You’ll pass by Veneguera and Tauro from sea level, then spend the main chunk of the trip in coves around the Mogán area.

I love how practical the plan is: a welcome glass of cava, a drink-filled break while the crew sets up the swimming time, and snack-style lunch at sea. You’ll also get the key gear included—snorkeling equipment and paddle boards—so you’re not hunting rentals or hunting extra staff to make it happen.

One thing to consider: your exact stopping spots can change with weather, and on very windy days the captain may keep you closer to shore. If you’re hoping for long, wide-open sailing views the whole time, know that the plan flexes.

Key highlights to know before you go

• Small group (max 12 travelers) keeps it calm and conversational
• Hotel pickup and drop-off can save you time and taxi math
• Snorkeling gear + 2 paddle boards are included
• Open bar includes beer, sangria, soft drinks, water, and juices
• Multiple photo stops from the boat around Veneguera and Mogán
• Add-ons available like jet ski, sea scooter, and parasailing for extra cost

A 4-Hour Yacht Rhythm That Actually Feels Relaxed

This is the kind of Gran Canaria day that starts with sun and ends with salt hair, not a rushed checklist. You leave from Puerto Rico port and head offshore while the crew gets the vibe going with a welcome glass of cava. From there, it’s sailing time, a guided look at the coastline, and a proper water break where you can snorkel and paddle board.

The shared format matters. With a maximum of 12 people, you’re not fighting for deck space or shouting over everyone else. Even with other guests, the boat setup tends to feel comfortable for lounging, moving to the shade when you need it, and getting in and out for swimming.

The tour also has a guide on board, so you’re not just watching coastline pass by with zero context. You’ll get explanations along the route, including what makes the beach areas around Veneguera and the Mogán region interesting—useful if you like understanding what you’re seeing rather than just collecting photos.

If you’re the type who enjoys a calm morning with drinks and water time, this hits the sweet spot.

What’s Included (and Why It’s Good Value for $90.51)

On paper, this price can look like a splurge. In practice, it’s more about stacking several paid items into one easy package.

Here’s what’s included:

• Air-conditioned vehicle for pickup/transfer
• Captain and guide
• Welcome glass of cava
• Open bar: beer, soft drinks, sangria, water, sparkling water, and juices
• Snacks / snack-style lunch with fresh, seasonal ingredients
• Snorkeling equipment
• 2 paddle boards
• Floating platform
• Mobile ticket

Not included (but available for extra cost): cocktails/wine/mixed drinks, plus water sport add-ons like jet ski, sea scooter, and parasailing.

That open-bar list is the real reason this feels like value. You’re not limited to just soft drinks. Between the drinks and the onboard snack/lunch, you can spend the whole trip comfortable without extra spending—then decide later if you want the pricier water sports.

Also, the included paddle boards and snorkeling gear save you from last-minute rentals. For most people, that alone reduces the hassle factor, which is a kind of savings you don’t notice until it’s gone.

Hotel Pickup and Timing: How to Make the Day Go Smoothly

This tour is set up to be easy logistically. A van picks you up 30 minutes before the start time from your hotel or accommodation. You’ll need to provide your hotel/resort name and be on time; they allow a short waiting time of 5 minutes.

If you’re meeting directly at the port, plan to arrive 15 minutes early. The main meeting point is Infinity Boat Tours Gran Canaria at Calle Amarre EC, C. Puerto Escala, 1, 35130 Puerto Rico, Las Palmas, Spain.

Why this matters: boat trips run on water time, not land time. The early arrival window helps the crew keep everyone synced for departure, and it reduces the chance you’ll start the trip stressed.

Duration is about 4 hours. The itinerary times are approximate, and the captain adjusts the order and stopping points based on weather. Treat it like a half-day “go with the flow” plan. If you’re flexible, it’ll feel effortless.

Language is English, and the group size max is 12 travelers, which helps the crew keep track of everyone during swimming and gear moments.

Stop 1: Puerto Rico Departure and the Veneguera Coastline Explain-By-Sea

The day starts at Puerto Rico port, with you sailing offshore under warm sun and that cool sea breeze. Right away, you’re out on the water, not stuck waiting around in a marina for half the trip.

About 50 minutes into the journey, the guide points out details as you move along the coast. You’ll pass Veneguera, a beach area worth paying attention to from sea level. The guide shares what makes it distinctive, and that’s a nice touch if you like to know what you’re looking at rather than just enjoying it silently.

Even if you’re not planning to snorkel right away, this first leg is a mood-setter. It gives you time to find your favorite spot on deck, watch the coastline change, and get your first drink out without feeling like you’re already behind schedule.

One practical tip: if you want photos, this is often the part where you can get clean angles before everyone starts moving toward swimming gear.

Stop 2: Playa del Perchel and the Mogán Area Cove for Snorkeling + Paddle Boards

This is the heart of the trip. You head toward the Mogán area, where you can access the cove near Playa del Perchel from the sea. That sea access is key: it’s the difference between a beach walk and real water time.

Here you can:

• Snorkel
• Try paddle surfing (paddle boards are included)
• Swim from the boat using the floating platform
• Grab a drink while the crew sets things up

The snorkeling experience depends on conditions, but you’re at the right kind of spot: calmer water areas are ideal for seeing fish and getting a comfortable rhythm. And because snorkeling equipment is included, you’re not wasting time figuring out gear.

A nice value detail: the tour also mentions a discount on water activities like jet ski, sea scooter, or parasailing through third parties. Those add-ons aren’t included in the base price, but the pricing advantage can help if you were already thinking about upgrading.

While the crew takes care of snack prep, you can order a drink and settle in. This is where the trip turns from sailing into “vacation.”

Possible drawback: if wind is up, the captain may adjust the exact stopping point. You might get less open-sea feeling and more “plan B” positioning. Still, the crew tends to prioritize safe swimming spots.

Stop 3: Mogán Photo Time and the Bay of Mogán

After the main water time, you get a shorter 30-minute stretch in the Mogán area. This part is best for people who like quick photo windows and coastal atmosphere without needing a full sightseeing schedule.

You’ll have time to take pictures of the Bay of Mogán and surrounding scenery. Think of it as a break from the water-gear flow: you get to rest, look around, and regroup.

This isn’t designed to be a long land excursion. You’re on the boat, with a brief stop that gives you visuals and a chance to reset your body before the return leg.

If you prefer structured walking tours, you might find this portion a bit short. But if your ideal day is mostly on the water with a few scenic photo moments, it fits well.

Stop 4: Sailing Back Past Tauro Without Stopping

On the way back toward Puerto Rico, you’ll sail past La Playa de Tauro. You don’t stop here—so think of it as a scenic pass-by rather than a beach visit.

The upside: you keep your energy for the return vibe instead of losing time to docking and disembarking. The other upside is that it keeps the flow smooth. You’re not cramming in one more activity when the day is already doing its best work on the water.

The downside is simple: if you were hoping to stretch your legs on Tauro’s sand, this tour won’t do that for you. It’s a boat-first experience.

This last sailing stretch is often where you feel the full length of the trip: you relax, you look back at the coast you just covered, and you enjoy the deck time before landing back near where you started.

Drinks and Food: What You’ll Actually Get, Plus the Extra-Cost Items

The onboard refreshment setup is a major reason this tour feels easy to enjoy. You start with a welcome glass of cava. Throughout the trip, you have an open bar that includes:

• beer
• soft drinks
• sangria
• water
• sparkling water
• juices

That means you can drink at your pace without constantly asking what’s available. The crew also keeps the atmosphere relaxed, and the snack/lunch moment happens mid-trip while you’re in between activities.

Food is described as snack-style, and it’s prepared onboard with fresh seasonal ingredients. In plain terms: it’s there to keep your energy up, not to replace a full restaurant meal.

Not included: cocktails, wine, and mixed drinks cost extra on board. There are also separate prices for add-on activities like jet ski, sea scooter, and parasailing.

One practical point from experience on boats: if you’re prone to feeling dizzy, bring motion-sickness pills. The tour specifically suggests it for people who get dizzy easily.

Also, don’t plan to bring your own alcohol. It’s prohibited to bring alcoholic beverages from outside, and alcohol service is limited to adults over 18.

The Crew Experience: Friendly Hosts, Real Help in the Water

Service is where this trip gets a lot of its love. The crew runs the day with a calm confidence. You’ll get help with snorkeling gear and paddle boards, and you can ask questions about what you’re seeing. That matters because snorkeling is easier when you’re not learning gear basics from scratch.

From names shared by guests, you may be looked after by hosts like Jonny and Suso on board, and Christian for the driver side of the hotel transfers. Some people also mention staff handling transfers like Sole and on-board support like Vero. Even if you don’t get the same crew members, the general pattern is consistent: approachable, attentive, and focused on keeping everyone comfortable.

One small consideration: getting back into the water can involve a ladder. A previous guest noted that the ladder could use a handle for easier climbing, especially for older travelers or anyone with balance issues. If that’s you, take it slow and ask the crew for help. They’ve handled it well for others.

Who Should Book This Yacht Tour (and Who Might Skip It)

This is a strong fit if you want:

• a half-day plan without hard logistics
• a small group setting on the water
• snorkeling and paddle boarding without rental hassle
• drinks and a snack/lunch included in the price
• scenic cruising around Puerto Rico, Veneguera, Mogán, and Tauro

It’s also a good family option in the sense that the vibe is relaxed and you can opt into activities without pressure. Still, if your group includes people who hate boats, or anyone who gets motion sick easily, be honest with yourself and plan for it.

For couples, the small-group feel helps. For teens, the photos and deck time are a big part of the fun.

If you’re the type who expects constant far-off open-water sailing with zero coastal proximity, keep your expectations flexible. Weather can change the exact route. On windy days, the captain may adjust so the trip stays comfortable and safe.

Practical Tips for Your Best Day on Gran Canaria’s Water

A few things can make this smoother from the first drink to the last photo.

Bring sunscreen and a hat. The sun at sea hits fast, and you’ll be outside a lot.

Plan for motion. If you get dizzy easily, bring pills ahead of time.

Use the included gear. Snorkeling equipment and paddle boards are part of the deal—so grab them when the crew sets up the swim window.

Bring swim-ready clothing. You’ll want quick-dry swimwear and something comfortable if you’re moving between deck and water.

Don’t plan on extra adult drinks being included. Alcohol beyond the open-bar options costs extra, and no outside alcohol is allowed.

Keep an eye on weather. The experience requires decent weather. If it’s canceled due to poor conditions, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.

One more small reality check: water sports add-ons like jet ski and parasailing cost extra. If you think you’ll want them, consider whether you’ll actually use the time. The base experience already covers the main swimming and deck comfort.

Should You Book Infinity Boat Tours Gran Canaria?

If you want a relaxed yacht morning in Gran Canaria with real swimming time, included snorkeling gear, paddle boards, and an open-bar setup, I’d say this is a solid booking. The value comes from the bundle: transport, limited-group boat time, drinks, and water activities are all wrapped together.

I’d only hesitate if you’re very sensitive to boat movement, need step-by-step accessibility in and out of the water, or are the type who demands a specific route with no weather-based changes. In that case, the plan flexibility could be frustrating.

For most people who want an easy, scenic, small-group day—this is exactly the kind of trip that makes Gran Canaria feel like it’s on your side.
