Puerto Del Carmen: Catamaran Trip With Water Sports

Fantastic trip drinks included and not too busy. Get the chance to go on a banana boat and other activities definitely recommend

What a wonderful afternoon. The boat was immaculate. 10 minutes in to the trip we came across a pod of around 20 dolphins. We stayed with them for about 30 minutes. Such good luck. The trip included fun water sports, including the banana ride and floating bar followed by delicious snacks. The guys looking after us were lovely. A perfect afternoon.

This was mine and my partner’s first holiday since before Covid — and our first holiday together as a couple — so we really wanted to make it special. We booked this excursion fairly last minute, and it exceeded our expectations a hundred times over! We requested hotel pick-up and were contacted promptly to confirm the time and cost. It was €5 per person each way (€10 total), which we thought was very reasonable. We initially assumed the transfer only covered pick-up and that we’d need to arrange our own way back, so we were pleasantly surprised to find return drop-off was included. When we arrived, we discovered it would just be the two of us on the excursion, which made the experience feel even more special. The staff explained that although the trip usually lasts around four hours, we could simply let them know when we were ready to head back. The sail itself was absolutely stunning — we spent around 90 minutes sailing in total, and the views out on the ocean were breathtaking. There were coolers stocked with a variety of soft and alcoholic drinks, and we were encouraged to help ourselves throughout. The booking description mentioned snacks, so we expected the usual crisps and nuts — but instead we were treated to a freshly prepared, boat-cooked Spaghetti Bolognese, which was absolutely delicious! While anchored, we enjoyed swimming and snorkelling around the boat. I even attempted paddleboarding, although the wind made it a little challenging! After our meal, things got even more exciting — they arranged for us to be pulled behind a speedboat on a large inflatable donut. It was insanely fun (even if we were a bit sore for a few days afterwards!). Both crew members on the catamaran were amazing — professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive. The two staff members operating the speedboat were equally fantastic. We felt completely safe and very well looked after from start to finish. In total, we spent around three unforgettable hours on the boat, and it was hands down the best experience of our entire week in Lanzarote. If we’re lucky enough to return, we wouldn’t hesitate to book with this company again.

A great experience from pick up off cruise ship until return the crew were excellent couldn’t do enough to please

Boat trip was nice. Offered jet skis and parasailing at an additional cost, but never told what the cost was, so we didn’t bother. Banana boat and donut was great fun, albeit short. One thing I would say is avoid booking the transfer they offer. We did. Arrived 15mins late. Driver was quite abrupt and felt rather sick after the journey there. Return transfers he turned up 45 mins late. When I contacted the company, I was told repeatedly he was on his way, until the last phone call where I was told the captain of the boat should have told us we would need to wait 45 minutes. Not great communication, especially with 2 tired and hungry children. The party we shared the boat with were on a seperate transfer, their driver was also late, they gave up waiting and went to find taxis.

Booked a trip to papagayo on a catamaran. The trip was about €1000. However on boarding the trip we were informed 4 hours is not enough to get to papagayo. So we basically sailed for 30!minutes before parking directly outside the harbour wall at puerto del Carmen where we started. The water sports were fun for the kids but for me the idea of the trip was allowing them to experience a catamaran under sail. We only used the motor. The staff at the booth had a really bad attitude and had an argument with the captain of the boat when we arrived. Not the customer experience you expect for €1000. Book with another company would be my advice - one that appreciates your business. We complained to the office but had no response. That says it all!

UK - 2 parents & boy (12) & girl (9) Cracking day out. So nice not having to share a boat with dozens of others and have space to lay around. The watersports were good, the current is pretty fast so just keep an eye on where you are in relation to the boat. That said the crew kept a good eye on us. The banana boat was a hit with us all, the wee one didn't like the donut so much as she was at the height where the spray was directly in her face. But she got taken onto the speedboat which she loved. The food was great as well, and plenty of it too.

An amazing afternoon on the catamaran, including drinks, lunch, snorkelling, banana boat & paddle board. Drinks are self serve. Staff were friendly and helpful. Collection and drop off from a nearby hotel. Lunch was lovely - only downside was didn't cater for vegans despite prior notice. Only salad and fruit for them. Would definitely recommend.

Avoid if you actually want to do water sports! I booked the exclusive catamaran for 12 people excursion last week as a treat for my children for the last day of our holiday. The excursion is pricey at €100pp but as it promised so many water sports I thought I’d treat us all. There were 11 of us in total on the excursion and we set off from the harbour around 2pm. As we’re leaving the harbour the captain comes to us and says that as well as the doughnuts, banana boat, kayaking and SUP (all ‘included’ as part of the excursion) he could also offer us jet skiing and parasailing at a 25% discount later on in the trip. My son was very excited at the prospect of parasailing. We sailed along the coast for about 70 minutes. It’s not very interesting as there’s not much to see, it’s the coastline going towards Arrecife. We then stop and moor in the sea where we’re told we can snorkel, use the deck tent (small square inflatable to sit in that fits about 4 people), or use the pedalo (which was tied to a buoy so you couldn’t actually pedal anywhere.) Sadly the boat was moored nowhere remotely interesting and so snorkeling was basically looking at the few fish surrounding the boat waiting for scraps of bread. There were no caves, rocks, or anything interesting to look at. So after 5 minutes you’d seen all there was to see! There were a few snacks available to eat at this time which I think are a distraction to help pass a bit of time as there really wasn’t much to do. No kayaks and no SUPs. I assumed these were coming later with the ‘water sports’. We all asked when we could do the water sports and were told that as there were no jet skis available (because they’d all been booked!) we couldn’t do water sports until 5pm. Which meant we were moored for 90 minutes before any water sports and the excursion finished at 6pm back at the harbour, so we all instantly knew we’d get barely any time for water sports. At this point 8 of the people on board (including my family) were fed up and annoyed. At 5pm a jet ski finally arrived. We asked about doughnuts and were told that it wasn’t possible. Some excuse about the water or the waves. All we were offered was ONE go on the banana boat. No kayaking, no SUP, no jet skiing and no parasailing! And the banana boating lasted all of 10 minutes. What a disappointment!! My children were almost in tears when they were told there wouldn’t be doughnuts. I only booked this excursion specially for the water sports described in the trip. To only receive 10 minutes on a banana boat was a disgrace. An absolute waste of money. So if you’re thinking of booking an excursion with them for the water sports I’d suggest avoiding! I have complained to H2O sports but they haven’t even offered an apology. They clearly don’t care about their customers, or providing a good service, just taking their money.

This activity was booked as a surprise for me for my stag do while in Lanzarote. I could not be more happy with how it went! The staff were friendly, the food was quality, and the experience was unforgettable. Really top class excursion that I would recommend to anyone!

Five stars is not enough for the experience we had. If you are booking for a group, this will be a crowd pleaser. We were a group of 9 and paid to have a private tour. We had unlimited beer/shandy and other options like sangria and soft drinks. Food was prepared for us. There was a good variety and all delicious. We stopped in a calm sea area and spent time swimming and enjoying the drinks in the water. We had the option of paying extra (with discount) for parasailing and speedboats, which were delivered to us with an energetic instructor who helped us have a great time. The same instructor had taken us out on towed inflatables, which was included in the booking. This gave us some of the funniest moments we’ve had as a group seeing friends trying to hold on and flying off, making core memories. I could not fault this experience and thoroughly recommend it to any group who like to have fun. Everything felt optional. Some of us stayed and sunbathed or drank in the shade of the canopy while others went out on the water. At one point, the captain had a call on the radio to say dolphins were nearby and we drove over. Those on the boat got to experience following a pod of dolphins, and those who were parasailing at the time saw dozens of dolphins from the air. This is the ultimate water experience.

Short and sweet - It is an upmarket Benidorm pubs bars an restaurants. Thankfully I holidayed on the outskirts of los picollos

Amazing food and laughs. Provided great drinks and activities including snorkels!! Would definitely recommend to anyone going to Lanzarote

Wonderful experience, extraordinary attention and impeccable service. We traveled with a baby and everything was 5 stars.

A wonderful boating experience from Puerto Calaero For me, this was a great value trip on a lovely catamaran, crewed by Nico & Santos, with food, beer , wine and sangria, and the chance to paddleboard, snorkel and survive the banana boat in the sunshine. And if you must jetski, they can arrange that too. A chilled vibe on a very professional set up.

We had a great time with H2O Sport Lanzarote. Clean boat with lots of space on multiple decks. Staff were polite and helpful. The added bonus of an inclusive banana boat detour was a lot of fun too! Couldn't recommend highly enough if you want a quiet boat trip around Lanzarote.

Great day- staff v friendly- boat immaculate and food and drinks delicious. Loved the water sports- highly recommended trip.

Very fun with lots of entertainment for everyone and also the staff were very nice so I would definitely recommend for lots of family’s on holidays

Amazing 🤗🤗. From my initial contact until our return to our resort H20 Sport Lanzorate were so professional, their customer service was second to none. Three families went on the Private Catamaran Trip with water sports and we all had a fabulous experience. From the excellent staff to the water sports, range of drinks for adults and kids and outstanding food. We would highly recommend this trip, this is our 2nd time to do it and we will definitely be returning next year. Superb. Thank you Nico and all at H20 Sports Lanzorate 🤗

From start to finish this was just the best excursion and day out for our family Holiday. They welcomed us, went through what to expect, they provided the most beautiful food spread which everyone loved, the water sports were amazing!! So easy and free flowing everyone got to enjoy. A must book for your holiday you won’t be disappointed!

From start to finish this trip was absolutely superb. The staff and boat were really impressive and made our day a special one. Whilst out in the water I asked if we could hire jet skis as they are not mentioned on the booking form. Within 30 mins 4 jet skis arrived. This trip has been the highlight of our holiday and incredible value for money. We will be back . Thank to all at H20

Lovely large boat. Well maintained and lots of room. Friendly staff that really made us feel very welcome like family. Delicious lunch buffet . Even had French fries! Coffee was the best! Our trip was the perfect length. Staff picked us up and handed us off like a well oiled machine. No chaos or wondering. We did not do watersports, but those who did had a blast! Don’t hesitate! Relaxing and FUN!

Booked this trip as it said maximum of 12 passengers, friendly pick up from Hotel, arrived to have the surprise that we were the only 2 passengers on board, we were treated like royalty, and would have to say this was the best boat trip I have ever had, 4 hours of pure heaven with the opportunity to do the donut or banana boat, when comparing prices factor in the cost of these extras, beer and soft drinks all included, as was a very nice lunch. Then the icing on the cake was seeing and getting close to more dolphins then I have ever seen in one go. If you get the chance please this is a trip you have to do , and will be a trip I will remember for a very long time

Fantastic day on the boat. Very professional crew and great food and drinks. Family enjoyed the excitement of the banana boat and donut rides. Snorkelling was great. We have been on a few boat trips and this is up there with the best.

This was the best trip we have ever done. Such a great experience for a family of 4 with our 12 and 15 year old. Just a perfect mix for everyone. Could not fault it at all and so glad we had the opportunity to do it. Absolutely loved the waters ports and amazing snorkeling experience. Great, friendly hosts with plenty of drinks and snacks throughout. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

Great experience with this company and services, we chartered the atamaran Boat for 4 hours and it was one of the best days of our entire holiday. The staff were so attentive and helpful with all the kids and the activities were amazing. 

Great experience well worth the money, crew were very accommodating and professional would definitely do it again

We did two activities with them: the catamaran tour and the visit to Papagayo. The experience was fantastic and really worth it. We all loved both activities, a perfect combination of enjoying the scenery, bathing and participating in water activities. The attention of the team was excellent at all times, always pending and adapting to the maximum to our needs. The food on board the catamaran also surprised us very positively. Everything was in perfect condition, very clean, and the material they offer makes the experience even more complete and fun.

Service full of friendliness, punctuality and quality. Super clean boat, drink and tasteful food. Attractions for all tastes.

La atención muy agradable aunque el número de personas a bordo fue mayor al que anunciaron. Un paseo corto recomendable para familias .

I took a private boat trip with Water Things to do. Being a small group (between 12 and 15 people maximum) is pleasant. It is also better to pay a little more to take advantage of this configuration. The boat is clean, well maintained. Leader and friendly crew. We had quality aperitifs and snacks. Water Things to do: Snorkeling, banana boat and dougnut boat. In short an outing to recommend.

An unforgettable experience, and an exquisite treatment. Thank you Lourdes, Isaac and Nico. They made us have a lot of fun times.

The crew unbeatable, very friendly and looked after us very well at all times. The catamaran very nice and all the equipment they have to use is in excellent condition. It got short!! I'm sure we'll repeat.

Catamaran girls' excursion. An unforgettable day. Un 10 The crew, Nico and Isaac, super nice and very attentive to our needs, and very professional. We made donut and banana and laughter was heard miles away. It was very exciting. We also had at our disposal kayaks, paddel surfing, an apparatus with propellers for diving at full speed, snorkeling equipment,... No detail was missing. They gave us such a good time, we will do more activities with this company. Next, buggy tour 👏👏👏👏👏

Simply Great, the entire team is friendly, close, polite, always attentive to everyone's needs... from the moment they receive you it is with a smile, with kindness, Nico and Santos super CRACKS, happy giving the instructions and showing the entire boat .. then later a guy whose name I don't remember gave us the ride with the banana and it was great... anyway, don't hesitate to hire this company who will be super well taken care of by these CRACKS and will have the time they deserve... THANKS TO THE WHOLE TEAM FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE DAY 💯💯💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥
