Puerto de Mogán by Private Boat: 'Little Venice' & Snorkel

Arrive at Gran Canaria's most enchanting village entirely by sea — gliding into the flower-draped canal quarter of Puerto de Mogán aboard a private charter. Anchor in turquoise coves inaccessible by road, snorkel pristine reefs, and lunch at a harbourfront terrace on the freshest seafood on the island.

What to expect

Departing from Puerto Rico marina, your skipper navigates the spectacular southwest coastline — volcanic cliffs, emerald inlets, and the occasional pod of dolphins tracking the bow — before dropping anchor at a secluded cove for snorkelling among angel fish and parrotfish. The arrival into Puerto de Mogán's canal quarter by boat is genuinely cinematic: flower-covered bridges, pastel facades, and fishing boats reflected in still water. Lunch at a quayside restaurant — grilled dorada, papas arrugadas, mojo verde — is arranged by your skipper. The return sail catches the afternoon Atlantic breeze perfectly.

Good to know

Departs Puerto Rico marina (~35 min transfer from Las Palmas port). Allow 5–6 hours total; confirm all-aboard before booking. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and a light layer for the return sail. Pre-book the private charter at least 48 hours ahead — availability on port days is tight.
