Boat trip - We were a group of 10 ladies celebrating 2x60th birthdays Had a super private boat trip A/I guys were luvly looked after us start to finish Simply The Best Worth every penny Thanx

Lovely boat, great food and fantastic crew - Last year we had a half-day private charter which was the highlight of our holiday, so this year we thought we would go one better and book a full day charter. Our group was five adults and a child aged 9. The online communication was very good and the booking process was simple. We also arranged the optional jet skiing and parasailing. We were picked up from our hotel at the designated time and taken to the port where we were warmly greeted by the owner, Michelle, who remembered us from last year. After sorting out a few details, we boarded the boat and the two crew members introduced themselves over glasses of cava and fruit juice. After sailing out of the port we were met by the watersport company and the four adults doing the jet skis transferred to a small speedboat which took us to the jet skis whilst one adult and the child remained on board the catamaran. We were given a safety briefing and provided with life jackets before being helped onto the jet skis. We then followed the speedboat along the coast at “full throttle” which was quite an adrenaline rush and not for the faint hearted. This was much more “intense” than a typical jet ski hire from the beach, and more similar to the “jet ski safari” trips which we have done previously. We were on the jet skis for a bit longer than the time we had booked, and then the speedboat took us back to the catamaran. We then sailed to Perchel Beach, enjoying drinks and chatting to the friendly crew. At Perchel beach we were met by another speedboat, which two of us boarded for the parasailing, whilst the remainder of the party snorkelled, kayaked and paddle-boarded. The parasailing crew were very professional, with a good emphasis on safety, but ensuring we had good fun, including the obligatory “feet dip” in the ocean as well as plenty of time at the maximum height. We then boarded yet another speedboat (this one with 2x350 hp outboard engines!) to take us back to the catamaran. After snorkelling at Perchel beach amongst large shoals of fish, and chasing parrot fish amongst the rocks, we had a lovely lunch of tuna and chicken with potatoes and salad served up by the crew. We then sailed around the headland and at the next stop at Playa de Veneguera, we were met by a kayak delivering more fresh food, which we joked was “Uber Eats” on a kayak. The crew gave us the option of stopping at Playa de Veneguera or sailing on to “the big cliffs”, and we chose to sail on. We enjoyed more kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkelling before being treated to a delicious buffet dinner. For the return trip, the crew the asked if we would like to follow the coast back or go a bit further out to sea. We chose to go further out to sea. This is NOT a dolphin searching trip but we were extremely fortunate on this occasion to catch a glimpse of a small pod of dolphins as well as quite a few flying fish, and lots of sea birds. We then sailed into the pretty harbour of Puerto Mogan before stopping for more snorkelling, kayaking and paddle boarding. Here, our nine-year-old lost her headband which sank in almost 10 metres of water. This was recovered by one of the crew in an impressive display of free-diving, which we then tried (and failed) to emulate. We arrived back in Peurto Rico at just after 7pm just as the sun was beginning to set after an amazing 8 hours at sea. To be able to privately charter a half-million-euro flybridge catamaran in such idyllic settings is a truly amazing experience. This was, once again, the highlight of a fantastic holiday, made even more special by the wonderful crew who couldn’t do enough to make our trip so relaxing and memorable. When we next holiday in Gran Canaria another charter with Exclusive Boat will definitely be at the top of our agenda. A great big thank you to Michelle and her wonderful team.

If I could give 6 starts I would. Absolutely amazing! - This is the second time visiting Gran Canaria, both times being my birthday whilst we were there. On both occasions, my mum and dad have booked exclusive boats as a birthday present and I can honestly say it is one of the best gifts I have ever received. Firstly, all of the staff both onboard and off board the boat are absolutely amazing. Michelle is so accommodating and the crew are second to none. They cater for every single need whilst you are on the boat and are always willing to go the extra mile. This has been the case on both trips. Our first trip (May 2023) was a half day. We stopped off for snorkelling and enjoyed a beautiful buffet onboard made freshly by the crew. The food was fresh and delicious. There was more than enough for us all and the crew offered to make more if we wanted it. The drinks were unlimited and included in the price was water, beer, sangria and soft drinks. You can also purchase champagne, wine and other drinks if required which were very reasonably priced. The day was beautiful and we sailed back during sunset which was just a perfect end to the day! As we enjoyed the first trip so much, my parents booked the exclusive boat for a full day this year and again, we were not disappointed. It was hard to beat the first time, however we all felt that a full day made the experience even better. We enjoyed a number of water sports including jet skiing and parasailing. We stopped off at a number of beautiful locations for snorkelling and there was an abundance of fish including parrot fish. We had two meals, the first of which was lunch. This was a gorgeous selection of tuna and chicken, along with salad potatoes and other sides. The second was and evening buffet with wraps etc. Again, more than enough to go around. The views from the boat were spectacular and the crew really knew the best stops. We enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking on several occasions and the crew were always there to help us on and off the boat if needed. They were absolutely brilliant with my 9 year old daughter and one of the crew even retrieved a bandana which she dropped in the water. The boats are clean and well maintained and there are plenty of areas for sunbathing or shade if you prefer. The review of someone getting sun stroke and then asking for a refund is absolutely absurd. This is not the responsibility of the staff and there is a large area to keep out of the sun. Clearly this is your own responsibility and I cannot believe that a bad review has been left because of this 😂 All in all the boat trip is perfect in every way and as a family we would never ever hesitate to book each and every time we visit Gran Canaria. The only downside is that we can’t do this trip more often. Thank you to all of the crew and Michelle for making both experiences so magical!!! Hope to see you again very soon!

Fantastic! - Brilliant, relaxing afternoon spent on the catamaran. Nothing too much trouble and made to feel very welcome. A bit indulgent just for the three of us, but thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Staff were a credit to the owners.

The best of Puerto Rico - Excellent service and staff. Its name itself honors the experience, we will surely repeat it. Thank you very much for everything we enjoyed yesterday.

This is a must do trip, absolutely fabulous in every way. - Fabulous boat, fabulous people, fabulous food and drink and an altogether fabulous experience. I would highly recommend to everyone.

Best boat trip - This is a must, great trip, good food and friendly crew , really good views of the island. Nothing more to say except I would do it again in a heart beat

Amazing Private Charter - This was definitely the highlight of our holiday. The two crew members were very professional and friendly. The boat was immaculately clean with plenty of areas for sunbathing and relaxing in the shade. Our party was six people, but the boat was spacious enough for 12 or more. The tapas lunch was exceptional and the crew made sure we had plenty to eat. I cannot recommend it highly enough and we will definitely charter the boat again when we return to Gran Canaria.

Lovely day out - Lovely tour: the boat was spacious and spotless, and the food was delicious. My only comment is to let others know that, for the exclusive private charter, it's only the boat itself that's private: the shuttle bus picks up lots of other people (it took over an hour, for what would have otherwise been a 25-minute drive), and when you stop for the hour of snorkerlling and kayaking, etc., the tour company has other boats there at the same time so what would have otherwise been a nice secluded bay is pretty busy. That's all fine but for a £900+ tour it's not quite as exclusive/private as advertised.

Get Your Guide are dodgy. Do not book. - DO NOT BOOK VIA GET YOUR GUIDE. They work on commissions via Exclusive Boat and are purposely ignoring my emails. I booked this boat trip when I was in Gran Canaria - I became severely poorly, nearly hospitalised due to sun stroke. I spoke to Exclusive Boat via WhatsApp who agreed to part refund me which I very much appreciated. However, because I booked through Get Your Guide they are now ignoring all of my emails and ‘closing my case’ when I has responded three times! Clearly do not want to refund me as they won’t get paid. I think this is disgusting when I was extremely unwell and they have no sympathy. DO NOT BOOK THROUGH THEM. EXCLUSIVE BOAT are great but not GET YOUR GUIDE. I will be taking this further.
