Boat Trips from Puerto de Mogán

Unforgettable days on the Atlantic, leaving from the marina.

Puerto de Mogán sits on the south-west corner of Gran Canaria, where the wind drops and the water turns clear. Our boats leave from the marina itself and follow a coastline you cannot reach by road: sheer cliffs, hidden coves and beaches with no track down to them.

Our trips

Private charter · Malu V

The whole boat to yourself, by the hour. You choose the day, the departure time and how long you stay out — from one hour to a full day. From 150 € for the boat, not per person.

Güigüí beach excursion

Güigüí is a wild beach with no road to it: you get there on foot over the mountain, or by sea. Four hours, swimming and snorkelling in water you will remember. 125 € per person.

LYA yacht charter

A private yacht with skipper, by the hour, for a calmer kind of day out. 200 € per hour for the boat.

Booking

Book online and pay by card, or reserve now and pay at the quay on the day. Either way the place is yours. If the sea turns and we have to move your trip, we call you — which is why we ask for a phone number.

Staying down the coast?

Most people who sail with us are staying somewhere else along the south. It is the same coastline and it takes less time than you think: boat trips from Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria or boat trips from Maspalomas, Gran Canaria.

Everything leaves from Puerto de Mogán

There is no second base: you board at the marina in Puerto de Mogán, on the south-west corner of Gran Canaria. It is a small harbour, so it is a two-minute walk from the car park to the pontoon.

And that corner of the island is not an accident: it sits in the lee of the trade winds, sheltered by the mountain itself. The wind drops earlier, the water turns clear, and you can stop for a swim on days when it is already choppy further east.

What you see once you are out

To the west the road ends and a cliff coast begins, with beaches no track goes down to: Veneguera, El Perchel and, beyond them, Güigüí. It is the part of Gran Canaria that does not appear in hotel photographs, and it can only be seen from the water. To the east are the known coves — Taurito, Amadores, Puerto Rico — closer in and more sheltered.

What to know before booking

None of these trips asks for experience: they all sail with a skipper and the kit is on board. What is worth bringing is sun cream, a towel and a soft bag — hard cases do not stow well — and taking your seasickness tablet before boarding if you are prone to it, because afterwards it does nothing.

And the person who decides whether we sail is the skipper, with the forecast in front of them. Trips here are postponed for swell, wind or calima, sometimes the same morning, and when that happens we phone: that is why the number is required when you book and why an email will not do.

If you are staying elsewhere

Most people who sail with us sleep somewhere else in the south, and it is the same stretch of coast: Puerto Rico is about fifteen minutes away and Maspalomas or Playa del Inglés a little over half an hour. If you are arriving from the airport, our transport guide to Puerto de Mogán sets out the options.
