With a maximum number of 67 passengers, a cruise on the Afrikat catamaran is a fun and relaxing day out on the Atlantic Ocean and the perfect way to see Gran Canaria from a brand new angle.

This tour is the perfect balance between fun and relaxation and the crew are always friendly and keen for everyone to have a great time. 

Afrikat 69 frontLeaving from Puerto Base, Puerto Rico, the Afrikat cruises along the stunning south west coast of Gran Canaria, past Anfi, Tauro and pretty Puerto de Mogán and often anchors at sheltered El Perchel Bay with its calm, clear water.

Here you can relax on deck, swim or snorkel (free equipment provided) or take a speedboat ride with the captain.  If you want to do something more exciting, you can parasail, jetski or ride a banana boat at heavily discounted prices. 

Then it's time for the buffet of Canarian potatoes, meatballs with sweet sauce, salads and bread rolls. Beer, sangria, soft drinks and water are included and the cocktails are reasonably priced and come with eco-friendy edible straws. 

As the sun starts to drop, you cruise back along the coast as Gran Canaria's coast lights up in the warm afternoon light.

Price includes return transport from the areas of Bahia Feliz, Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas, Meloneras, Sonnenland, Arguineguín, Patalavaca, Mogán, Taurito & Playa del Cura.

Alex Says: The Afrikat  schedule changes throughout the year so ask our booking experts what trips are on during your holiday. It's a popular trip so book your spot in advance

    Tip Of The Day: Avoid Bank Card Charges By Paying In Euros

    Save money and avoid rip-off bank charges while in Gran Canaria by paying in euros when using your credit or debit card.

    Many bars and restaurants in Gran Canaria, and in almost all European holiday destinations, give you the option of paying in euros or in your home currency. Opting for your own currency, while it may seem like the safer option, can add as much as 5% to the bill as it triggers dynamic currency conversion. 

    DCC basically means that the exchange rate is calculated at point of sale rather than by your bank. It allows you to see the total cost of the transaction in your own currency but adds up to 5% to the total because it uses a terrible exchange rate. 

    Since the extra money is shared between your bank and the merchant, some places will automatically bill you in your own currency and hope you don't notice. You have the legal right to refuse and void the transaction should this happen. 

    ATMs too

    The same applies when taking money out of ATM machines in Gran Canaria (and anywhere in Europe); Always choose the local currency option to avoid losing money to poor exchange rates.

    If you opt for the local currency option, using bank ATMs is often the cheapest and safest way of getting euros in Gran Canaria. It's far safer than having a big pile of euros hidden in your room or tucked into your shorts.
