Private Boat Charter and Snorkel Cruise from Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria
A private half-day charter from Puerto Rico lets small groups snorkel, kayak and relax along Gran Canaria’s rugged western coast. Expect sea caves, Posidonia beds and calm coves with onboard lunch and unlimited drinks.
The Experience
Before You Go
Book a morning slot
Morning departures often have calmer seas and better underwater visibility for snorkeling.
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect your skin and the local seagrass and coral by using biodegradable, reef‑safe sunscreen.
Wear water shoes
Rocky coves and submerged ledges make water shoes useful for entry and exit at coves and beaches.
Prepare for motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative medication or choose a mid‑ship seat where motion is less pronounced.
