Cava, snorkeling, and a small crew. This 4-hour shared yacht trip off Puerto Rico mixes cava and an open-bar drinks service with real time in the water, plus a simple lunch break at sea. With a max of 12 people, it stays relaxed instead of feeling like a floating bus.

I really like the hotel pickup/drop-off convenience, and the fact that snorkeling isn’t an add-on gamble—you get the snorkeling equipment and also hop onto paddle boards. You’ll spend your time where it matters: coves, swimming, and great Atlantic views.

One thing to keep in mind: the captain may adjust the route because the tour is weather-dependent, so don’t expect every stop to be identical in every condition. Also, the most thrilling water extras (like jet ski and parasailing) cost extra.

Key highlights you’ll actually feel on the water

• Small group size (max 12 travelers) makes it easy to chat, not just pose for photos
• Cava on departure + open-bar drinks keeps the mood easy from start to finish
• Snorkeling equipment included so you can jump in without hunting rentals
• Perchel cove time for swimming and water activities with an accessible-from-the-sea feel
• Two paddle boards and a floating platform give you options even if snorkeling isn’t your thing
• Hotel pickup means less stress and more time enjoying the ride

A Small-Group Yacht Morning Off Puerto Rico

If your idea of a good Gran Canaria day is sun, sea, and minimal fuss, this tour is built for that. You’ll leave from the Puerto Rico port area and spend the next hours sailing offshore while the crew runs the schedule at a human pace.

The vibe is simple: you start with a welcome drink, you get a swim break in a cove, you eat at sea, and you return without making your day complicated. With a maximum of 12 travelers, you’re less likely to feel squeezed into one corner of the boat.

The tour runs about 4 hours (approx.), and it’s offered in English, which helps if you want the guide’s explanations without straining. The itinerary can shift due to weather, so the captain keeps flexibility when conditions change.

Price and Value: What You’re Really Paying For

At $90.51 per person, this isn’t a budget “just get on and go” deal. The value comes from what’s bundled: pickup by air-conditioned vehicle, a captain and guide, drinks, snacks/lunch, and water gear.

Here’s how the price makes sense when you compare it to doing things piece by piece:

• Transport is included (pickup and return back to the meeting point)
• Snorkeling gear is included, plus paddle boards
• Drinks and snacks are included rather than you buying everything separately mid-trip

You can also add optional water sports later (jetski, sea scooter, parasailing) if you want more action. Those aren’t included, but the fact they exist as add-ons gives you a choice without locking you into one style of day.

Net: if you want a single-ticket boat morning that covers the basics well—then you’re in the right zone.

Meeting Point and Pickup: How the Day Starts Smoothly

The tour starts at Infinity Boat Tours Gran Canaria, at Calle Amarre EC, C. Puerto Escala, 1, 35130 Puerto Rico, Las Palmas, Spain. If you’re using pickup, a van comes for you about 30 minutes before the start time.

Two practical tips that matter:

• Be ready right on schedule. The waiting time is 5 minutes.
• If you go straight to the meeting point, arrive 15 minutes early so you’re not sprinting with your swim bag.

A mobile ticket is used, which cuts down on last-minute paperwork. If you’re traveling with a group, pickup timing is the detail that can make or break the day—plan to be punctual.

Drinks, Lunch, and the On-Board Comfort That Keeps It Relaxed

From the moment you depart, you’ll be offered a welcome glass of cava. Then the drinks keep flowing through an open-bar setup: beer, soft drinks, sangria, water, sparkling water, and juices.

It’s not a free-for-all cocktail menu, though. The tour data is clear: cocktails, wine, and mixed drinks can cost extra. If you’re specifically chasing a premium drink list, budget for extras. Otherwise, the included options cover a classic “boat day” mix.

Food is handled as a light mid-trip meal. You’ll get snacks prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients, described as a lunch/snack stop while you’re in the water area. You’ll also have time to order drinks and relax with sea views while the crew handles the timing.

On the comfort side, reviews highlight plenty of seating—inside and outside—and the overall feel of a calm small-group trip. You should expect a mix of sun deck time and shaded breaks.

Stop 1: Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria Departure and Veneguera Pass-By

You start in Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria, departing the port area and moving offshore for that first stretch of sea breeze. The guide gives a brief overview of what to expect, and the pace is more “relaxed sailing” than “race to the next photo spot.”

After that initial sail-out, you pass the beach of Veneguera. The guide shares details about the beach as you go by, but you won’t stop there for long. This is one of those segments that’s less about swimming and more about getting your bearings and enjoying the coastline from the water.

A smart way to use this time: get your sea view photos while you’re still dry, and use the first minutes to take in how the sea looks—then when it’s time to jump, you’ll know exactly what kind of water you’re heading into.

Stop 2: Playa del Perchel Cove for Snorkeling and Paddle Board Time

This is the main water stop. You’ll head toward the Mogán area to the exclusive cove of Perchel, a spot that you can access from the sea. That matters because these sea-reached coves often feel more private than beaches where you fight for space.

Once you arrive, you get hands-on time for:

• Snorkeling
• Paddle surf
• A refreshing swim break while the crew prepares food

You also get discounts on water activities offered through third parties at extra cost, including jetski, sea scooter, and parasailing. Those options aren’t included in the base price, but the tour sets them up as available if you want a bigger adrenaline hit.

The practical upside: the snorkeling and paddling basics are included. So even if you skip the paid extras, you still get a proper water session with gear provided.

Also pay attention to how the crew runs the stop length. The time here is listed as about 1 hour 30 minutes, which is long enough for one solid swim + a second chance if you want to try paddle boards.

Stop 3: Mogán Bay Photo Time Without Over-Planning

After Perchel, you reach Mogán for a shorter break, about 30 minutes. This isn’t a long land excursion. It’s more of a scenic stop where you can capture memories—especially around the special bay of Mogán.

This is useful if you want a photo moment and a quick change of pace. If you’re the type who likes seeing the coastline but hates long transfers, this stop feels well-sized.

If you want the best photos, aim for when the boat has settled and the crew has everything under control. That’s usually when you get the cleanest angles and the least bustle.

Stop 4: La Playa de Tauro and the Sail Back to Puerto Rico

On the way back toward Puerto Rico, you pass La Playa de Tauro. The important detail is that you don’t stop there—so treat it as a scenic sailing segment, not a beach time.

The final stretch is listed as about 1 hour, which gives you time to relax on deck before returning. If you’ve already done your swimming, this part is great for “post-water” lounging: snacks, photos, and just letting the motion of the boat do the work.

One more weather note: since the itinerary can vary, the exact timing and any route changes are at the captain’s discretion for sea conditions.

Extras You Can Pay For: Jetski, Sea Scooter, Parasailing

The tour includes snorkeling gear, paddle boards, and a floating platform. If you want more speed and height, you’ll find options for extra cost:

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

These are handled through third parties, and the boat crew coordinates so it stays organized. Still, because they’re not included, you should decide ahead of time whether you want adrenaline or a slower day.

My practical advice: if you tend to get motion-sensitive, consider sticking with the included water time. Some people love the extras; others find they turn the day into a stomach test.

Who This Tour Fits Best (And Who Might Prefer Something Else)

This one fits best if you want:

• A relaxed shared yacht day (small group, not crowded)
• Snorkeling and paddle board time without planning rentals
• A mix of views + food + drinks that doesn’t require extra decisions every five minutes

It’s also a solid match for couples and families who want clear structure: pickup, swim stop, snack break, short photo stop, sail-back. People mention the crew feeling friendly and attentive, which matters when you’re in or near the water.

Who might think twice:

• If you need a guaranteed “we will go far offshore no matter what,” remember the route can change due to weather.
• If you’re mainly after a long beach stop on land, this isn’t that kind of day. The land time is short and mostly scenic.
• If you’re sensitive to motion or you’re not steady with stairs, the water entry ladder can be an issue. One review called out the ladder being harder for less steady travelers, so plan accordingly.

Small Practical Tips That Make a Difference

Bring a couple things that the tour data actually hints at:

• If you’re prone to dizziness, bring dizziness pills. The experience explicitly suggests this.
• Bring a camera—there are multiple photo moments, including Veneguera, the Perchel cove area, and the bay of Mogán.

Also, think about what you drink. Alcoholic beverages beyond the included open-bar (like mixed drinks) are extra, and alcohol is only served to travelers over 18. Don’t plan on bringing alcohol from outside—this is prohibited.

Finally: plan to enjoy the included activities first. The paid water sports are optional, so you don’t want them to crowd out the free snorkeling and paddle board time.

The Take: Should You Book It?

Yes, I’d book it if you want a high-comfort, small-group yacht experience that covers the essentials: drinks, a mid-trip snack/lunch, snorkeling gear, and real cove time near Mogán. The included package is where the value shows—especially when you compare it to paying separately for boat time, equipment, and drinks.

Skip or look for alternatives if you’re chasing a rigid itinerary no matter the sea conditions, or you want long stretches on land. This is a sea-first day. If that matches your mood, it’s a great way to spend a morning around Puerto Rico and Mogán.
