Full description
The Obycat catamaran, Gran Canaria
Four hours out of the Muelle de Puerto Rico, and the boat is set up for a family day on the water: a water slide off the back into the sea, a floating sun platform at the anchoring stop, snorkelling gear on board and balinese beds to collapse onto afterwards.
Lunch is proper food: paella, salad, papas arrugadas with mojo and seasonal fruit, with beer, sangria, cava, soft drinks and water flowing throughout.
69 euros for adults and 45 for children, and the hotel transfer is in the price from most of the south of the island.
The four ways to sail
The shared sailing runs every day, morning 10:00 to 14:00 or afternoon 14:30 to 18:30. It is the one most people book and it is the family trip described above.
Wednesday afternoon is adults only, and the operator states the rule plainly: sixteen and over, no exceptions. Nobody's children on board, including yours.
Monday afternoon is the LGTB Friendly sailing. It is a departure of its own, with a welcome mimosa on the way aboard.
All three are the same boat, the same route, the same lunch and the same 69 euros. The fourth way is to take the boat off the schedule entirely: the private charter is from 2.247 euros for the four hours, morning or afternoon.
With young children
Life jackets go down to baby sizes and prams are allowed aboard, which is not true of every boat on this coast. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before you sail.

We are a family with three young children and the day turned out well. Alberto, the captain, and the crew are friendly and professional, and they kept an eye on the kids as much as on everyone else. For a good morning in the south of Gran Canaria, I would recommend it.
Somos una familia con tres niños pequeños y el día salió estupendo. Alberto, el capitán, y la tripulación son amables y profesionales, y estuvieron pendientes tanto de los críos como del resto del pasaje. Para pasar una buena mañana en el sur de Gran Canaria, lo recomiendo.
The mood on board was good straight away. It also helped that the pick-up and drop-off were part of the excursion; that made the day a good deal more relaxed. Not long after we set off, a group of dolphins came past.
De sfeer aan boord was meteen prima. Fijn was ook dat het ophalen en terugbrengen bij de excursie hoorde; dat maakte de dag een stuk relaxter. Vlak na vertrek kwam er al een groep dolfijnen langs.
No complaints from me. They talked us through the history of the coast we were passing, there was a break long enough to get in the water, and the food afterwards was superb. Good choice if you want a relaxed morning or afternoon; I would go again.
The shuttle across was where my little holiday-within-a-holiday started, and it stayed that way. Spotless catamaran, attentive and friendly crew, very good food and drink, and a trip that is relaxing and fun at the same time. Swimming and the slide were the parts I enjoyed most.
I have seen few boats kept as well or as clean as this one; the care shows in every detail. The crew are professional and kind, always watching that nothing slips, and from the first minute they make you feel welcome. A trip worth repeating.
Pocos barcos he visto tan cuidados y tan limpios: se nota el mimo en cada detalle. La tripulación es profesional y amable, siempre atenta a que nada falle, y desde el primer minuto te hace sentir bienvenido. Es un viaje para repetir.
The pick-up was on the dot. There were only a few of us on board, almost like a small private party, and the crew looked after every guest attentively. We will be coming back.
Abgeholt wurden wir auf die Minute genau. An Bord waren nur wenige Leute, fast wie im kleinen Kreis, und die Crew kümmerte sich aufmerksam um jeden Gast. Wir kommen wieder.
The crew are good fun and look after everyone on board, the seats and sunbeds are comfortable and there is no shortage of them, and the food and drink were nice. If you want a day on the water, a view of the coast and, with a bit of luck, dolphins, pick this one.
We picked this one because the group is small, ten of us in the end, and the catamaran is spectacular. The crew were attentive and professional and treated us like celebrities, the paella was delicious and you could drink whatever you liked. Well worth it, and thank you for a wonderful day.
An excursion to remember. The catamaran is huge, new and spotless, and there is no crew like them around here. We anchored off a beach well away from the other boats, the paella was very good, and I would recommend it to anyone.
Salida para no olvidar. El catamarán es enorme, nuevo y está impecable, y la tripulación no tiene comparación por esta zona. Fondeamos en una playa alejada del resto de barcos, la paella estaba muy buena y lo recomendaría a cualquiera.
