Blue M Boat Trip, Quick Facts
Blue M Boat Trip Gran Canaria Small-Group Whale & Dolphin Watching
Join the Blue M for a shared small-group boat trip from Puerto de Mogán, with a maximum of just 12 guests on board. Cruise the south coast in search of wild dolphins and whales with a licensed crew, stop for a swim when conditions allow, and relax on deck with light food and unlimited drinks. With so few guests, it feels calmer and more personal than a big sightseeing boat, and it is a lovely trip for couples, families and small groups.
A small group of up to 12, a simple deposit with the balance on the day, group discounts already built in, and a local Club Canary team on WhatsApp from 08:00 to 22:00. Club Canary is an official ticket seller, the trip is run by a licensed local operator.
80€ per person, the same price for adults and children. You reserve with 25€ per person and pay the rest on the day by cash or card. Group discounts are already included in the booking form.
Below: the trip, the wildlife, the day plan, what's included, all the info, the FAQ, and the policy.
A Small Group, Not a Big Sightseeing Boat
The Blue M keeps things small, with a maximum of 12 guests, so there is space to sit back and enjoy the sea rather than being packed onto a crowded deck. You get sunny and shaded seating, a relaxed atmosphere and a friendly local crew who know these waters. It is comfortable and easy-going, which makes it a natural fit for couples, families and small groups of friends who want a calmer trip. If you would rather have the whole boat to yourselves, you can also book the private Blue M charter.

Responsible Whale & Dolphin Watching
Gran Canaria's south coast is one of the finest places in Europe to see marine life, and the Blue M holds the official Barco Azul authorisation for responsible whale and dolphin watching. The crew uses local knowledge to look for wildlife and always keeps a safe, respectful distance. Dolphins are resident along this coast and are spotted on most trips, and whales appear regularly through the year.

🐋 Strong Odds, Honest Promise
Dolphins live along the south of Gran Canaria, so they are spotted on most Blue M trips, and whales turn up regularly too, which is exactly why the boat carries the official Barco Azul licence. Because they are wild animals, no crew can promise them on one specific trip, and our team would rather under-promise than oversell. The odds are strong, and you can see plenty of recent sightings in the guest reviews and photos.

Are whale and dolphin sightings guaranteed?
No. Whales and dolphins are wild animals, so sightings can never be guaranteed. The Blue M holds the official Barco Azul authorisation for responsible whale and dolphin watching in Gran Canaria, and the crew uses local knowledge to search, but any encounter should be treated as a wonderful bonus rather than a promise.
What is included in the Blue M boat trip?

Is the Blue M boat trip suitable for children?

What happens if the weather is bad?
The captain always makes the final call based on safety. If the Blue M boat trip is cancelled because the sea or weather is unsafe, Club Canary offers you another date or a refund in line with the booking policy. A route change for safety does not always mean the trip is cancelled.

Club Canary's Honest Take
Real talk from your local team in the Canary Islands
If you want the small-group feel without paying for a whole private charter, this is a sweet spot. A maximum of 12 guests, a licensed crew, a swim stop and food and drinks on board make it far more comfortable than the big sightseeing boats, and the group discounts make it good value for couples, families and friends.
Keep two things in mind. Dolphins and whales are wild, so no crew can promise a sighting on any single trip, though the odds here are strong and most trips do encounter them. The swim stop also depends on the sea that day. Come for a relaxed morning on the water, and enjoy the ride.
Reserve with a small deposit, pay the rest on the day, and enjoy the Blue M.
