The Carmelina Catamaran offers three different experiences, making it a flexible choice for all types of visitors to Gran Canaria. The shared daytime cruise is ideal if you want a sociable boat trip with other guests, the sunset cruise is perfect for a more atmospheric evening on the water, and the private charter is a great option for families, couples, birthdays, groups of friends, stag and hen parties, or anyone wanting the boat for their own group.
This makes Carmelina a strong choice if you are looking for something more personal than a large tourist boat, but still want the comfort, service and relaxed atmosphere of a proper organised boat excursion from Puerto Rico.
Your Carmelina experience is designed around comfort and relaxation. Food (Typically tapas and snacks) and drinks (Beer, soft drinks & water) are included, so you can sit back and enjoy the trip without worrying about arranging anything yourself. The boat sails from Puerto Rico, one of the main boat trip departure points in the south of Gran Canaria, giving you easy access to the island’s sunny coastline, calm bays and open sea views.
The route may vary depending on sea and weather conditions, but the experience is all about relaxing on board, enjoying the ocean breeze, taking photos, soaking up the sunshine and making the most of your time on the Atlantic.
Carmelina also includes time to enjoy the water. Snorkelling and paddle surf are included, giving you the chance to cool off, explore the clear water and enjoy a fun activity stop during the trip. No previous experience is needed for basic snorkelling or paddle surf, and the crew will advise you on the safest and most suitable way to enjoy the activities.
Depending on the day, there may also be special discounts available on extra water activities. These are normally arranged separately and may depend on sea conditions, availability and the exact excursion booked.

This excursion is perfect if you are looking for a more personal boat trip in Gran Canaria. The atmosphere on board is relaxed and friendly, with time to enjoy the views, take photos, sunbathe, swim and make the most of the warm Canarian climate. Puerto Rico is one of the best departure points for boat trips because of its convenient location, sunny weather and access to the beautiful southern coastline.
One of the main advantages of Carmelina is the choice of experiences. The shared Carmelina tour is ideal for couples, families and small groups who want to enjoy a daytime boat trip at a lower price per person. You can join other guests on board, enjoy food and drinks, relax in the sunshine and take part in included activities such as snorkelling and paddle surf.
The Carmelina sunset cruise is a more atmospheric option, designed for guests who want to experience Gran Canaria from the sea as the light begins to change in the evening. Sunset trips are especially popular with couples, small groups and visitors looking for something more memorable than a standard daytime excursion. With a drink in hand, sea breeze, coastal views and the Atlantic sunset, this is one of the most scenic ways to enjoy the south of Gran Canaria.
For those wanting something more exclusive, the Carmelina private charter gives your group the boat to yourselves. This is ideal for birthdays, family occasions, romantic trips, proposals, private celebrations, hen parties, stag groups or simply visitors who prefer a more personalised experience. A private charter gives you more privacy, more flexibility and a much more exclusive feel than a shared excursion.
Food and drinks are included, helping create a relaxed, all-in-one experience. You do not need to worry about organising snacks or refreshments separately, as the trip is designed so you can simply arrive, board the boat and enjoy your time at sea. The crew will look after the sailing route, safety and general running of the excursion, leaving you free to enjoy the day.
During the trip, there is usually time for swimming, snorkelling and paddle surfing. These activities are a great way to cool off and enjoy the clear Atlantic water. Snorkelling is suitable for beginners, and paddle surfing is a fun extra for those who want something a little more active during the stop. As with all boat trips, activities depend on the weather and sea conditions on the day.
The coastline around Puerto Rico, Amadores, Tauro and the surrounding south-west area is known for sunshine, dramatic cliffs, clear water and beautiful views from the ocean. While marine life sightings can never be guaranteed, sailing in this part of Gran Canaria does sometimes offer the chance to spot seabirds, flying fish or other wildlife in the open water. The main focus of this trip, however, is relaxation, coastal scenery and enjoying time on board.
Carmelina is also a good choice for visitors staying in Puerto Rico, Amadores, Arguineguín, Anfi, Puerto de Mogán, Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas or Meloneras, especially if transport is available from your area. Exact pickup details will depend on your accommodation and the excursion selected, so these will be confirmed after booking.
Whether you choose the shared daytime option, the sunset experience or the private charter, the Carmelina Catamaran Gran Canaria offers a comfortable and memorable way to enjoy the island from the sea.
