Catamaran Cruise from Puerto Rico
Description
Relax and sunbathe on a catamaran cruise along the southern coast of Gran Canaria and enjoy the incredible landscape of the island’s cliffs.
Cruise Details
After collecting you from your hotel, ride off to Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria on an air-conditioned bus. Here, you'll set sail on an Afrikat 69 catamaran.
This luxury vessel is 21 meters in length and fits up to 69 passengers. It has an open bar on board, including mineral water, coffee, juice, soft drinks, beer and sangria. It also has a large sun deck with places to sit, perfect for sunbathing while you sail along the southwest coast of Gran Canaria.
Halfway through the journey, the catamaran will drop its anchor in a beautiful bay, where you'll have 2 hours of free time to snorkel and swim in the transparent Atlantic Ocean. You can also take a ride on a speedboat, jet-ski, or parasail! To refuel, we'll enjoy an onboard lunch consisting of a chicken wrap with a side of pasta salad or sautéed vegetables for vegetarians.
After lunch, rest on the deck before the boat makes its way back towards Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria. A bus will then drop you off at your hotel.
