Here you will find everything you need to know about boat trips in Lanzarote and most importantly what you should pay attention to.

Boat Excursions or Catamaran Trips in Lanzarote

Which is the right boat for you?

When strolling through a harbor, you quickly find that there are countless different types of boats. You wouldn’t think so, but each type of boat differs significantly from the other. The behavior at sea, the equipment and the type of drive are just a few examples of a long list of differences. Below you will find an overview of the boat types available in Lanzarote and their specific characteristics. This will help you to choose the right boat type for yourself and ensure that your trip at sea will be unforgettable.

The Monohull Yacht (Mono)

Everyone knows this classic boat shape. The one hull is the only space, which houses machines, cabins and, sometimes also storage rooms. The control bridge and any possible superstructures are situated on the ship deck that closes the hull. Wave resistance and draft are bigger, with such yachts, so that the waves can cause the boat to sway more. With a travel tablet, however, you shouldn’t really have to care about this detail.

The Catamaran

In contrast to the monohull yacht, a catamaran has at least two hulls. This divides the boat’s load on two points of the water surface, which reduces the draft and thus the wave resistance considerably. Catamarans therefore literally glide along in normal sea condition and a sway is hardly noticeable. They also offer significantly more space on board. And with some catamarans there are nets on the bow between the hulls, on which it is great to chill out.

The Motor Yacht

Motor yachts have no sails, are properly motorized and very agile. Independence from the prevailing wind conditions makes such a yacht more comfortable. Nobody has to worry about the rigging and you can also travel much faster. Due to its construction, there is more space on the bow than in comparable size sailboats.

Sailing in Lanzarote

How to get man and sea into perfect harmony? A sailboat can do this like no other. The wind inflates the sails and you feel how this natural force pushes your boat forward. Sailing boats sway less than motor yachts. Far away from any civilization noise, you silently glide over the sea and enjoy the stillness that is only filled by the lapping of the waves and the blowing of the wind.

What Choice of Boat Trips Do You Have on Lanzarote?

A large number of different boat trips are offered in the individual ports of Lanzarote. If you want to find the right tour for yourself, it is not that easy. Your choice of course primarily depends on your personal preferences, but the also occasion plays a decisive role. If romance is at the fore for you and your partner on the boat tour, a party boat is unlikely to meet your expectations. And if you’re in a party mood and want to flirt a little, you’re definitely wrong on a submarine. Therefore, it is crucial to make the right choice. The following overview will help you with this:

Lanzarote Submarine Tours

The Yellow Submarine Lanzarote is located in the port of Puerto Calero. The electrically powered submarine is just waiting to introduce you to the colorful underwater world off the coast of the island. There is a porthole in front of every seat, which allows you an unhindered view outside. On your journey to a depth of up to 30 meters, you will eventually encounter some sea creatures. Your guide will give you detailed information about what you can see outside your window. And after about an hour you will be enriched with some interesting impressions. This is undoubtedly an ideal trip for the whole family.

Party Boats in Lanzarote

The motto on these tours is to celebrate and dance. These are usually larger boats on which countless party people have enough space. Loud music and lots of drinks provide for the necessary level of fun. The dance club on the sea sails along the coast of Lanzarote and offers an absolutely fantastic panorama. Some party boats stop for a swim so you can cool off your mood. Sometimes water sports activities such as jet skiing or parasailing are also offered optionally. Therefore, if you are one of the more sociable people, a party boat in Lanzarote is definitely the one for you.

Day Trips on a Catamaran or a Yacht

The term “day trip” refers to boat trips that last between 4 and 6 hours. The theme of these tours is relaxation. The main thing is to offer you a nice day at sea, where you can really relax. Delicious local dishes as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are always available on board. When the skipper anchors in a bay, you can jump into the crystal clear waters or simply relax on one of the sun loungers. Additional offers such as stand up paddling, kayaking or jet skiing may also be available. The decisive difference between the catamarans and yachts is size. They can accommodate between 9 and more than 100 people. If you prefer a more private atmosphere, a tour on a small yacht with up to 12 people is recommended. Therefore, when booking a day trip, inquire about the capacity of the boat and what services are included.

Tours at Sunset

Watching the sun gradually sink into the sea is a great romance in itself. Experiencing it on board a ship while listening to the waves lapping up increases this feeling immensely. Needless to say that sunset tours are very popular. For this reason, they are often also offered on boats with a larger capacity. The catamaran or yacht leaves in the late afternoon. First you cruise off the coast and enjoy some time at sea while swimming or snorkeling. The icing on the cake of this wonderful afternoon is the impressive play of colors of the sunset.
