Private Boat Tour to Lobos Island from Corralejo

Discover the Charm of a Private Yacht to Lobos Island from Corralejo

Imagine gliding across crystal-clear waters aboard a private yacht, with the sun warming your face and a gentle sea breeze in your hair. For about 4 hours, this boat tour from Corralejo offers you a chance to explore Lobos Island, a small yet captivating island renowned for its unspoiled beauty and tranquility. The trip is cost-effective at around $75 per person and is ideal for groups of up to four passengers, making it a perfect intimate escape.

What we particularly love about this experience is the personalized nature of the tour — you won’t be part of a big crowd, but instead, enjoy the company of a friendly crew that makes sailing feel like a visit to friends’ home. Two standout elements: the chance to snorkel and paddleboard in pristine waters, and the onboard picnic lunch, which perfectly complements the relaxed vibe.

One potential consideration is that hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so you’ll need to make your way to Corralejo Harbour. This works well if you’re staying locally, but travelers relying on transfers might need to plan accordingly.

This tour suits travelers who cherish genuine, laid-back experiences — those who want to sail into the Atlantic with expert guides, enjoy water activities, and appreciate a blend of adventure and comfort. It’s especially appealing for couples, small groups, or families with older children eager for a day out on the water.

A Detailed Look at the Lobos Island Private Boat Tour

Setting Off from Corralejo Harbour

The adventure begins at the SurfBoat Fuerteventura meeting point, just a short walk from the bustling Corralejo port. From there, you’ll hop aboard a private yacht — a comfortable vessel that’s perfect for a small group. This is not a crowded ferry; it’s your boat, your itinerary, and your crew.

The journey to Lobos Island takes about an hour, during which you’ll enjoy the spectacle of the Atlantic’s changing colors—turquoise, aquamarine, and deep blue—and the gentle rhythm of sailing. The crew members, often praised for their friendliness and knowledge, handle all the navigation so you can simply unwind and take in the scenery.

Exploring Lobos Island and Playa de la Concha

Upon arrival, the highlight is the stop at Playa de la Concha, a secluded, calm beach perfect for water-based activities. You can snorkel in the transparent waters — many reviewers rave about the beauty of the marine life seen just off the shore. One guest noted, “We did some snorkeling in the clear blue waters next to Lobos island, it was beautiful.”

If you prefer paddling, a paddleboard with a paddle is included, allowing you to explore the shallow waters at your own pace. For fishing enthusiasts, small fishing gear is provided, and some travelers have enjoyed trying their luck during the stop.

The crew often sets up an inclusive canarian-style picnic lunch, complete with local delicacies, drinks, and sometimes even live guitar music. Reviewers repeatedly mention how good the food is, with one stating, “Juan serenaded us with his guitar,” adding a personal touch that makes the day memorable.

Sailing Back, Savoring the Atmosphere

The return journey is equally relaxing. If conditions allow, the crew might switch from motor to sailing, nobody’s rushing — just a calm, wind-powered glide back to Corralejo. The vibrant colors of the Atlantic at sunset (if you’re lucky with timing) are a bonus.

Throughout the day, the crew is lauded for their enthusiasm, knowledge, and friendliness. Several reviewers mention how the guides went above and beyond, making the trip feel like a day among friends rather than a standard tour.

What Sets This Tour Apart?

Beyond the water sports and scenic stops, what truly elevates this experience is the personal touch. The guides are passionate, often sharing stories about the island or playing music. Guests consistently describe the crew as “fantastic,” “wonderful,” and “very welcoming.”

The small group size ensures that everyone gets personalized attention, and the all-inclusive water sports gear means you don’t need to bring your own or worry about extra costs. Plus, the lunch and drinks onboard provide sustenance after a morning of activity — just enough to satisfy without overindulgence, keeping the focus on fun and relaxation.

Considering the Value

At around $75, this tour punches well above its weight in terms of value. You’re paying for a private, intimate experience with the flexibility to choose your water activities and relax at a pace that suits you. The reviews highlight that many travelers found it worth every penny, especially given the friendliness of the crew and the beauty of the scenery.

One guest summed it up nicely: “Far better than doing the ferry, and the sail on the way back with the wind was fantastic.” The personal connection, combined with the stunning environment, makes it a worthwhile investment.

Who Will Love This Tour?

This boat trip is ideal for small groups or couples seeking a relaxed, authentic experience on the water. If you love snorkeling, paddleboarding, or just lounging in the sun with excellent company, this is a perfect fit. It’s also suitable for families with older children who enjoy water sports.

Travelers who appreciate local cuisine and friendly guides will find this tour adds a cultural dimension to their beach and boat time. However, if you’re looking for a more structured tour with guaranteed sightseeing or transport included, this might not be the best choice.
