This private yacht outing from Puerto Rico is a fun switch from the usual beach day, with snorkeling gear and an open bar feel built in. I like how you get a sea-only cove stop at Perchel, plus a laid-back lunch setup that includes tapas-style bites (and yes, a Spanish omelette). The only catch is the time: you’re on the water for about 3.5–4 hours, so it won’t replace a full day at the sand.

Pickup is handled by van from many hotels and resorts in the south, and you’ll be guided in both Spanish and English. After the sail back, you’re dropped again in Puerto Rico, with time to stroll the promenade and grab local food on your own.

Quick hits before you book

• Private yacht for your group with a crew that runs the show, not a crowded boat vibe
• Perchel cove stop in the Mogán area, accessible from the sea
• Snorkeling equipment + two paddle boards included so you can choose your pace
• Open bar basics included (beer, soft drinks, sangria, water, sparkling water, juices)
• Lunch/snacks are part of the value, and the Spanish omelette is a standout
• Add-ons available like jetski and parasailing, with pricing listed for some options

Private yacht from Puerto Rico: what the 3.5–4 hours really feels like

This is a short-and-sweet day on the Atlantic. You start in Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria, sail offshore, then spend real time around the Mogán area before returning to the marina. The overall duration is listed as 3.5 to 4 hours, so the flow is designed to keep things relaxed, with enough time for swims and at least one active break.

What makes it feel special is the structure. You get a welcome moment right away with a glass of cava, then you’re given a quick explanation of what’s coming. After that, the boat becomes your base—sailing at a comfortable pace while you’re eating, drinking, and choosing how much energy you want for the water activities.

The other thing I like is that it’s genuinely private for your party. Pricing is shown as $604 per group up to 8, and the experience is described as your private yacht for a party up to 12 passengers. Translation: this is best when you’re coming with friends or family who actually want to hang together, not when you’re traveling solo and hoping to meet random people.

Pickup in the south of Gran Canaria and getting to the marina

Most people do not want a complicated morning. This trip is set up to meet you where you’re staying, using a van pick-up and return service to hotels and apartments in the south.

You’ll have a lot of pickup options across places like Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas, Patalavaca, Taurito, and La Playa de Mogán. The van ride is listed as about 20 minutes as part of the route, and then you transfer to the harbor area for departure from Puerto Rico.

Two practical notes that matter here:

• You’re expected to be punctual at the agreed time; waiting time is listed at 5 minutes.
• You’ll need to specify your hotel/resort name or address in advance for accurate pickup.

If you’re staying farther away from the south hubs, you may need to check carefully which stop is closest to you. The good news is there are many listed drop-off points, so you usually can get back near where you are staying.

Sailing to Mogán’s Perchel cove: the stop you can’t recreate from shore

The main “wow” moment is not just the sail—it’s the Perchel cove, which you can access only from the sea. The itinerary heads toward the Mogán area, so you’re watching the coastline from offshore and then getting a place to actually swim.

This is the part where the yacht format pays off. From the water, you see the shapes of coves and how the cliffs and beaches line up—things you usually miss when you’re just driving past or walking along a single stretch of shoreline.

At Perchel, you get time for:

• Snorkeling
• Paddle surfing (paddle boarding)

This is the ideal kind of stop when some people in your group want activity and others want to relax. The boat stays the base, and you rotate between floating, swimming, and hopping back on when you need shade or a drink.

Snorkeling equipment, two paddle boards, and water time for all levels

Included with the tour are snorkeling equipment and 2 paddle boards. That’s important because you don’t have to show up hunting gear or trying to rent last-minute items.

The snorkeling piece is straightforward: you’re given the equipment and guided through the plan for the stop. You’re also not locked into only one activity. If you’re comfortable in the water, you can snorkel. If you’d rather stay more on top of the water, the paddle boards offer a different kind of fun.

The paddle boarding is described as suitable for beginners and experts. That usually means you can find your comfort zone—either staying closer to calmer areas or pushing your balance as your skills improve.

One small but useful planning detail: bring sunglasses and sunscreen (both are listed as what to bring). Salt water and sun hit fast in this part of the Atlantic, and a lot of the enjoyment comes from moving freely without worrying about glare or sunburn.

Also, towels are not included, so pack one. You’ll thank yourself after any swim time.

Cava, open bar, and the lunch/snacks moment (including Spanish omelette)

Right after departure, you get a welcome glass of cava. After that, the included drink setup is the real “value lever.”

The tour includes an open bar with:

• beer
• soft drinks
• sangria
• water
• sparkling water
• juices

There are also assorted snacks included. On top of that, the crew prepares food while you’re in the water. The description calls it a delicious appetizer made with fresh and seasonal ingredients, and the food experience is backed up by what’s described as tapas-style, including a Spanish omelette that people singled out as a highlight.

Here’s how I’d think about the meal: it’s not trying to be a full restaurant service. It’s built for being on a moving boat—easy to eat, good in a relaxed setting, and timed so you’re not hungry during the swim window.

If you have dietary needs, the tour notes that you need to give prior notice so it can be handled appropriately. That’s worth doing early rather than assuming you can sort it out last minute.

One thing to know: cocktails, extra cava, wine, and mixed drinks are not included. You can order them on board, but treat those as add-ons rather than part of the package.

Optional water add-ons near Mogán: jetski, sea scooter, parasailing

If your group wants extra adrenaline, the tour mentions a special discount on several water activities, including jetski, crazy sofa, sea scooter, and parasailing.

Prices are listed for some of these:

• Jetski: €35 for 10 minutes, or €70 for 20 minutes
• Sea scooter: €25 per person for 10 minutes
• Parasailing: €35 per person

Two practical ways to decide:

1. If everyone is already planning to snorkel or paddle board, you may not need add-ons. The core activities are already built in.
2. If you have one or two thrill-seekers, add-ons can work because the rest of the group can stay relaxed while others go for it.

Just remember towels aren’t included, and any extra activity can mean more time in and out of the water. Plan to wear swim-ready clothing and keep sunscreen handy.

The return sail: Mogán bay, Tauro beach, and Tiritaña cliffs

When the main swim and snack window is done, you get the calmer part of the experience: the return sail with time for photos and sightseeing.

On the way back, the route is described as passing:

• the bay of Mogán
• the beach of Tauro
• the cliffs of Tiritaña

This matters because you’re not just leaving a destination—you’re seeing it from angles you won’t get on foot. Even if your group spends a lot of time in the water, the return still gives you a “take it all in” moment.

And if you care about photos, this is one of those trips where you can actually get variety: coastline views from offshore, plus fun moments on deck.

When you finish, you go back to the departure point in Puerto Rico, then take the van back to your hotel or accommodation. If you stay in Puerto Rico afterward, you can walk the promenade and eat at local restaurants—your schedule is flexible rather than locked into a long, fixed evening plan.

Price and value: $604 per group and why the math can work

The listed price is $604 per group up to 8. That’s not “cheap,” but it can be fair value if:

• you’re traveling as a group (family, friends, a small celebration)
• you want privacy and fewer compromises
• you want a day that includes drinks, snacks, and water gear without additional rentals

Here’s the simple way to think about it: with 8 people, the price works out to about $75.50 per person for roughly 3.5–4 hours on a private yacht experience, including an open bar and snorkeling gear.

If you show up as 2–4 people, the cost per person rises fast, and then the decision becomes more about experience style than price. In that case, I’d compare it to other yacht or catamaran options and ask: do you really need a private boat, or would a shared cruise suit you?

The best fit is when your group truly wants control over the day—music and a cozy vibe, time for snorkeling and paddle boarding, and staff who can focus on your party rather than managing crowds.

Who this private yacht day suits best (and who should skip it)

This trip makes a lot of sense for:

• Families traveling together (group size and included activities help keep everyone busy)
• Friend groups who want a shared experience without a crowd
• Couples who want a memorable day and don’t mind paying for privacy
• People who like the idea of snorkeling and paddling but don’t want to coordinate rentals

It may be less ideal if:

• You want a full beach day longer than a half-day
• You don’t like being in the sun and water (even with shade and onboard drinks, you’ll still be outdoors a lot)
• You’re traveling light and forgot essentials like a towel, sunscreen, or swimwear-ready clothing

Also note: pets aren’t allowed, and alcohol/drugs are prohibited. Nudity isn’t allowed either, so plan for normal swimwear.

Should you book this yacht with Infinity Boat Tours Gran Canaria?

If you want a private half-day on the water with snorkeling gear, paddle boards, a welcome glass of cava, and an open bar that keeps the mood easy, I’d say yes. It’s the kind of trip where the value comes from the combination—boat access to Perchel, included gear, and food timed for the swim-and-snack rhythm.

Book it if you’re in the south of Gran Canaria and your group can take advantage of the privacy. If you’re coming solo or only a couple, still consider it, but run the per-person cost in your head and make sure you’re paying mainly for the private feel.

One last tip: if your group includes someone with diet needs, message ahead so the onboard food can be handled properly. That small step keeps the whole day smooth.
