Starting Point and Transportation

Your day begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel—either in Morro Jable, Jandia, or Costa Calma—around 10:25-10:45 am, depending on your location. The tour provider ensures you’re collected comfortably and on time, with a clear schedule communicated in advance. For those opting to self-arrive, the meeting point is straightforward: a designated spot in the harbor in front of the “Restaurant Cofradia” at 10:50 am.

This level of organization is appreciated, especially since many reviews praise the punctuality and ease of the pickup. It’s a solid way to kick off a relaxed day without worrying about navigating unfamiliar roads or taxis.

The Yacht and Crew

Once onboard, you’ll quickly see why this trip consistently earns high ratings. The boats are described as beautiful and well-maintained, with a cozy, intimate atmosphere, limited to just 8 participants. This small group size ensures personalized attention and a more relaxed vibe, where everyone feels comfortable asking questions and engaging.

Captain Piotr and his team bring a friendly, passionate touch to the experience. Multiple reviews highlight Piotr’s warm personality and local knowledge, with one reviewer noting that Piotr isn’t just a captain but a man who fell in love with Fuerteventura and shared his stories. His enthusiasm for the islands enhances the trip, making it more than just a boat ride—it becomes a glimpse into local life and passion.

The Scenic Cruise

As you set sail, you’ll enjoy impressive views of Morro Jable’s coastline, characterized by wide sandy beaches, the iconic lighthouse, and rugged cliffs. The vessel gently glides along the Atlantic, giving you space to relax, take photos, and soak in the scenery.

The boat anchors at a picturesque spot, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Many reviews mention the crystal-clear waters and the abundance of colorful fish, which makes the snorkeling especially rewarding. You don’t need to bring your gear—the boat is equipped with snorkeling equipment for all.

Swimming, Snorkeling, and Marine Life

The highlight for many is the chance to dive into the waters and observe marine life up close. Some fortunate travelers have seen dolphins or whales, though the guides clarify that sightings aren’t guaranteed, especially in August. Still, even spotting fish and manta rays, as noted by one reviewer, makes the experience special.

Jumping off the yacht into the Atlantic feels liberating, and the warm waters make swimming a delight. During the trip, you’ll have ample time to float, snorkel, or simply relax on deck with the sun on your face while the boat remains anchored in a scenic bay.

Food, Drinks, and Atmosphere

No sailing adventure would be complete without good food, and this tour excels here. The Canarian lunch is described as tasty and plentiful, featuring pasta, salads, meats, cheeses, and delicious bread—prepared by the host’s wife, adding a personal touch. Many reviews mention the excellent quality of the food and generous servings.

The drinks flow freely—champagne, wine, beer, and soft drinks—included in the price. Reviewers frequently praise the quality of the drinks, with many saying they appreciated the unlimited cava and beer, which made the experience feel indulgent yet relaxed.

The Hands-On Element

One of the most enjoyable aspects for us is the chance to try steering the yacht ourselves. It’s an experience that makes you feel like a seasoned sailor for a few moments—something hardly available on larger, more commercial tours. This activity adds a fun, interactive element that many travelers find memorable, especially when paired with the beautiful surroundings.

Ending the Trip

After a few hours of swimming, eating, and sailing, your guide will anchor the boat again, giving you time to soak in the last views and enjoy the sea breeze. The return trip is smooth, and you’ll be back at the harbor or your hotel with plenty of time left in the day to explore more of Morro Jable or relax.

Why This Tour Works for Travelers

It’s especially suitable for water lovers, with ample opportunities to snorkel and swim in crystal-clear waters. Food and drinks are a highlight, making this a fantastic value, considering the all-inclusive nature of the experience.

However, it’s not the best choice if you’re highly seasick or have mobility challenges, as the boat isn’t suited for wheelchair users. Also, dolphin sightings aren’t guaranteed, so if marine wildlife is a priority, you might want to manage expectations or look for specialized tours.
