Our Private Boats In Gran Canaria
Every trip is private for your group, with a captain, food and drinks as described. The only exception is the self-drive boat, where you take the wheel yourself. Prices are for the whole boat, starting from the shortest trip.
Motor YachtOur Pick
Blue M Private Yacht
The whole 15m Blue M for your group of up to 12, with a licensed local crew, food, unlimited drinks and a swim stop with paddleboard and inflatables. One of the very few private boats here that can legally watch whales and dolphins up close. Premium without going crowded or loud.
SpeedboatRuns Weekends
BlackDune Speedboat
A fast, fancy De Antonio D32 with a captain, private for up to 9. Swim, snorkel, ride the Seabob, and feel real speed when the sea is calm. It also runs sunset trips, and unlike most boats here, it sails on weekends.
Sunset
Private Sunset Cruise
A private evening on a 14m yacht for up to 10, from 18:15 to 21:15. Food, drinks and golden light on the water, then a slow cruise home under the stars. The proposal favourite: tell us the plan and the crew plays their part.
Motor Yacht
Keeper Uno Motor Yacht
A comfortable 14m motor yacht for up to 10, with a BBQ cooked on board on the 4 hour trip. A great backup when the Blue M is booked out, with the same relaxed private feel and flexible start times all day.
Sailing Yacht
Karolka Sailing Yacht
An elegant 15m Jeanneau sailing yacht for up to 8, with lunch, unlimited drinks, paddle boards and a swim stop in a quiet bay. New lower price this season, so it is now one of the smartest private sailing days on the island.
Sailing BoatBest Value
Blue Dream Sailing Boat
A 2019 Hanse sailing yacht for up to 6, from Pasito Blanco, with appetizers, unlimited drinks, snorkel gear and a captain who does the work. The 2.5 hour sunset sail from 335€ is the cheapest private sunset on the island.
Fishing
Private Fishing Charter
A real private fishing boat from Puerto Rico with sonar, autopilot and a fighting chair, run by a crew with 40 years on these waters. Trips from 3 to 12 hours, going for tuna or marlin on the longer runs. Up to 12 guests, rods and bait included.
CatamaranBig Groups
Private Group Catamaran
The brand new OBY catamaran, all yours for groups of up to 100. Four hours along the south coast with a paella lunch, an open bar, a swim stop and a floating solarium. Made for company outings, birthdays and big celebrations.
Self-Drive
Self-Drive Mini Catamaran
Be your own captain. A mini catamaran for up to 6 from Arguineguín, no licence needed from age 18, fuel included and a briefing before you go. Book 3 hours or more and the paddleboard and snorkel gear come free.
★ Few Boats Can Legally Watch Whales And Dolphins
Here is something worth knowing. To watch whales and dolphins up close in Gran Canaria, a boat needs the official Barco Azul licence, and very few private boats have it. The Blue M is one of them. So on a private Blue M trip, the licensed crew can legally get close to the wildlife, something most private boats here simply cannot do.

Book Boat Hire In Gran Canaria With A Local Team
Booking boat hire in Gran Canaria with Club Canary is a strong choice if you want real prices and honest advice. We are a Canary Islands team that works directly with the local boat owners and captains in the south of the island. So we can match your group size, budget and occasion to the right boat before you pay anything.
Real Starting Prices With A Best Price Guarantee
Every price on this page is the real starting price for the whole boat. Longer trips give much better value, so 6 hours never costs double the 3 hour price. You reserve with a small deposit and pay the rest on the day. And every booking comes with the Club Canary Best Price Guarantee, so there is nothing to worry about.
Why Book Your Private Boat With Club Canary?
Let us be direct, because you have options: the hotel desk, a street seller, a global platform, or a local team. Club Canary is a licensed local agency, born in the Canary Islands in 2019, working with the boat owners in Gran Canaria directly. Here is the honest difference.
One graph, all the difference. This is why you book your boat with Club Canary:

| What Matters | Hotel Desk | Street Sellers | Platforms & Brokers | Club Canary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Support hours | Office shifts only | One key person | Call centre queue | Every day, 08:00 to 22:00 |
| Problem with the boat | Not their job | Depends on that person | A refund form | We find you a backup boat |
| Custom wishes | Limited | Sometimes | No | Our specialty |
| Local knowledge | General | Good | None | We know every boat we sell |
| Prices | Fixed | Start high, then discount | Per-hour teasers | Real prices, Best Price Guarantee |
| Boat + tours + shows | No | Sometimes | No | One team for everything |
The biggest difference is simple: Club Canary is neutral. If your boat has a technical problem, we can move you to a backup boat, often the same day. Most boat owners are rivals here, so they cannot do that for each other. And bookings are noted, saved and double confirmed from our office, not written down by a captain on the water.
One honest tip, whoever you book with: check the company itself on Google or Trustpilot. Reviews about a boat are not the same as reviews about the service behind it.
Real names, real photos, real prices. You know exactly which boat you are booking, before you pay.
Full online booking with fast confirmation, or WhatsApp and live chat with a real local person.
Tell us your group size, budget and occasion. We recommend what fits, not what pays the most.
Deposit, cancellation and weather rules written in plain language on every boat page.
We arrange private boats across the Canary Islands. The owners here know us, and it shows in the service.
Find the same private trip cheaper elsewhere? Tell us, and we will sort it out.
Fresh Food On Board, Made Your Way
Most platforms sell you a ticket. Club Canary runs the trip. A BBQ grilled on deck, paella for the whole group, tapas and cold drinks, or a romantic setup with cava and decorations, all arranged before you sail.
Vegetarian wishes, a birthday cake, a proposal setup, or just a very hungry group: tell us what you want and the crew prepares it. This is what booking with a real local team looks like. Message us on WhatsApp and we plan your menu with you.
Rent A Boat In Gran Canaria Without A Licence
Yes, you can be the captain. The self-drive mini catamarans from Arguineguín sit under the engine power that needs a qualification, so anyone aged 18 or older with a valid ID can drive, no licence and no experience needed. You get a briefing at the dock, fuel is included, and rentals of 3 hours or more include the paddleboard and snorkel gear for free. From 125€ for the whole boat.
Private Boats For Big Groups In Gran Canaria
Here is the honest truth about Gran Canaria. Most private boats here take 6 to 12 guests, so groups of 13 or more are the hardest to place, and many agencies simply give up on them. Club Canary does not, because we have the one boat built exactly for this: the private OBY catamaran, for groups from 15 up to 100 guests, with a paella lunch and an open bar included. Company outings, team days and big birthdays are its home game, and corporate invoices are no problem. Email events@clubcanary.com with your headcount and date.
Our Honest Advice: Which Boat For You?
This is the advice we give every day, honest, with no sugar on it. Still in doubt? Message us and we will tell you straight.
The Blue Dream sunset sail from 335€ is the cheapest private sunset on the island. Want the fuller evening with food and drinks on a bigger yacht? Take the Sunset Cruise.
The Sunset Cruise. Add a note when you book, the captain is told quietly, and champagne, decorations and photos of the moment can all be arranged.
The Blue M for space, wildlife and the water toys, or the BlackDune if the kids will not stop talking about the Seabob.
The Blue M, the only private boat here with the official Barco Azul licence to watch them up close.
The BlackDune. A real speedboat feeling when the sea is calm, and it looks the part in every photo.
The Keeper Uno 4 hour trip, with the BBQ cooked on deck. Meat, fish or vegetarian, just say it when you book.
The Karolka for up to 8, now from 490€, or the Blue Dream for up to 6. The crew does the sailing, no experience needed.
The private fishing charter from Puerto Rico, 3 to 12 hours, with rods, bait and a crew who know the spots.
The BlackDune sails weekends, the self-drive boat runs daily, and the catamaran can often be arranged. The Blue M and Keeper Uno rest on Saturdays and Sundays.
The self-drive mini catamaran from 125€, or be smart and book a seat on a shared boat trip instead. A great day matters more than the word private.
With Captain, Self-Drive, Or Shared?
With captain is the relaxed choice, and the smart one here. This coast has ferry traffic, protected marine life and strict coast guard rules, and the crew handles all of it while you enjoy your day. Self-drive gives smaller groups full freedom on an easy boat, no licence needed. Shared trips are the budget route: our shared Gran Canaria boat trips cost a fraction of a private charter, and dolphins live along this coast all year, so private charters often spot them too, always from a legal distance.

Private Boat Trips Gran Canaria: Frequently Asked Questions
Quick, honest answers to the things people ask us most before booking a private boat trip in Gran Canaria.
Are These Boat Trips In Gran Canaria Really Private?
Yes. Every trip on this page is fully private for your group. You get the whole boat, with no strangers on board, and you set the pace of the day. The only different option is the self-drive small boat, which you drive yourself.
Can I Rent A Boat In Gran Canaria Without A Captain?
For almost all boats, no, and there is a good reason. The south coast of Gran Canaria is busy, with ferry traffic, cruise ships, and many other boats. A licensed captain who knows these waters keeps your day safe and relaxing, so Club Canary works with local skippers on nearly every private boat. If you want to drive yourself, the self-drive small boat from Arguineguín is the option for that, on a calm and easy route.
How Much Does A Private Boat Trip In Gran Canaria Cost?
With Club Canary, a private boat trip in Gran Canaria starts from 435€ for a boat with a captain, and goes up for larger boats and full-day charters. The price you see is the real price for the whole boat, not a low per-hour number that grows at the checkout. It includes the captain, the fuel, and the food and drinks listed on each trip. You reserve with a small deposit and pay the rest on the day.
Why Is The Price For The Whole Boat And Not Per Person?
A private boat is booked as one whole boat, not per seat. The price is the same whether two or ten of you come, so the more people you are, the less it costs each person. Some sites show a small price per hour or per person to look cheaper, then add more at the checkout. Club Canary shows the real total for the boat from the start.
How Many People Can Join A Private Boat Trip?
It depends on the boat. The smaller sailing boats take up to 6 or 8 guests, the speedboat takes up to 9, the motor yachts take up to 10 or 12, and the group catamaran fits from 15 up to around 80. Each boat above shows its maximum group size.
Which Private Boat In Gran Canaria Should I Choose?
It depends on your group and what you want, and Club Canary is happy to help you choose.
- For a couple, the Sunset Cruise or a sailing boat is calm and romantic, or the BlackDune speedboat for a bit of speed.
- For a family, the Blue M yacht or the BlackDune with its Seabob works well.
- For a big group or company, choose the catamaran.
- To go fishing, pick the fishing charter.
If you are not sure, message the local Club Canary team and we will help you pick.
Can I See Whales And Dolphins On A Private Boat Trip In Gran Canaria?
Yes, on the Blue M yacht. It is one of the few private boats that Club Canary works with that carries the official Barco Azul license, which lets the crew legally get close to whales and dolphins. Sightings are common, but never guaranteed, because these are wild animals in the open sea.
Can I Go On A Private Fishing Trip In Gran Canaria?
Yes. Club Canary offers a private fishing charter from Puerto Rico, built for it, with rods, bait, and an experienced local crew. Trips run from 3 to 12 hours, and the longer trips go further out for tuna or marlin. It suits both beginners and keen anglers, and a catch is never guaranteed, as fishing is always a bit of luck.
Do Any Private Boats In Gran Canaria Sail On The Weekend?
Yes. With Club Canary, the BlackDune speedboat sails on weekends, and the group catamaran can often be arranged too. The Blue M and the Keeper Uno take Saturdays and Sundays off. If you need a weekend date, message the team and we will find a boat that runs.
How Far In Advance Should I Book A Private Boat Trip?
The good private boat trips in Gran Canaria book out fast in July, August, and September, so book early for the summer. Off-season, a few days ahead is usually fine. The Club Canary live calendar is not always up to date, so if your date is close, message us to check the real availability.
How Does The Deposit And Payment Work?
You reserve online with a small deposit, and pay the rest on the day of your trip, in cash or by card. The deposit holds your boat and your date. You can see the deposit amount on each boat above.
Do I Need Any Sailing Experience?
No experience is needed. A professional captain runs the boat, so you can relax, swim, and enjoy the day. The only exception is the self-drive small boat, where you drive yourself on an easy route, and no license is needed for that one either.
Is Hotel Pick-Up Included?
On several boats, hotel pick-up and drop-off in the south of Gran Canaria is included or available for a small charge. It depends on the boat and your location, and larger groups should confirm this in advance. Add your hotel name when you book, and we will confirm the details with you.
Are Food And Drinks Included?
Yes, on the boats with a captain. Each trip includes drinks and food as listed on its own page, from snacks and tapas to a fresh lunch or a paella on the larger boats and longer trips. The self-drive boat is the exception, as you bring your own food and drinks.
What Is The Best Place To Book A Private Boat Trip In Gran Canaria?
Club Canary is a strong choice for booking a private boat trip in Gran Canaria, and here is the honest reason why.
- We are neutral. We work with many different boat owners, and a lot of them are not connected to each other. So if something goes wrong on one boat, we can step in, sort it out, or even move you to another private boat. A single boat owner can only offer you their own boat.
- We are a local Canary Islands team you can actually reach, by WhatsApp, phone, or email, every day from 08:00 to 22:00, before and during your trip.
- We can customise your day. Tell us your group, your budget, and your plans, and we will match you to the right boat, and help with special requests like a birthday, a proposal, or catering.
- We keep prices honest, with real whole-boat prices, a Best Price Guarantee, and no fake discounts or hidden per-hour tricks.
- Booking is easy and safe. You reserve online with a small deposit and pay the rest on the day, with fast confirmation.
If you want one place that gives you choice, honest prices, and a real team behind your booking, Club Canary is a good place to start.
