Puerto de Mogán: Coastal Cruise with Optional Snorkeling & Lunch
Description
What makes us different isn't just what we offer — it's how we do it. Yellow Boat Mogán is run by a local husband-and-wife team with years of experience at sea, and it shows: our trips stay small (max 25 guests), so it never feels like a crowded tourist boat. There's no pressure to buy anything extra once you're on board — free souvenir photos and drone footage (weather permitting) come as standard, not as an upsell. Snorkeling is entirely optional. Whether you want to explore the underwater world at El Perchel or simply relax and take in the volcanic cliffs of southern Gran Canaria, the trip works either way — no experience needed, all equipment provided. With homemade Canarian food, unlimited drinks on board, and one of the highest review counts of any boat trip in Puerto de Mogán, we've built our reputation on making every guest feel like part of the crew, not just another booking number.
Tour Options
Itinerary
Our trip departs from Puerto de Mogán, a picturesque fishing harbour often called "the little Venice of the Canary Islands" for its canals and colourful houses. You'll board our boat right at the marina and return here at the end of the trip.
As we sail west along the coast, we pass Veneguera, a remote valley with one of the last untouched beaches in Gran Canaria, framed by dramatic cliffs and volcanic rock formations. It's one of the most scenic stretches of the route and a great spot for photos.
We stop at El Perchel, a secluded cove only accessible by boat. This is where you're free to snorkel, swim, paddleboard, or simply relax in the water — calm, crystal-clear conditions make it ideal for all levels, including complete beginners.
Beyond the stops, the journey itself is part of the experience: dramatic volcanic cliffs, hidden coves, and the wild, undeveloped southern coastline of Gran Canaria unfold as we cruise — a perspective you can only get from the water.

We had an excellent family trip on the yellow boat. Thoroughly enjoyed snorkelling and cruise plus a lovely lunch and drinks. Super helpful hosts.. All very relaxed and friendly. Appreciated having a designated area for our family so was not cramped at all. Highly recommended
Myself and my 16 year old daughter went on the yellow boat trip yesterday and it was brilliant. We sailed up the coast line where we saw flying fish, the cliffs were very picturesque you could see the layers of formation, very interesting. We anchored in a lovely quiet cove where we went snorkeling and paddle boarding we added on the jetski which was only £35 which my daughter loved. We had unlimited drinks and a lovely lunch. Would definitely recommend and will be booking again next time.
Marta and Rubén go on a fantastic excursion, with everything under control, fun at a pristine beach perfect for snorkeling. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
We had a wonderful cruise along the South Gran Canaria coast side, joined a hidden bay and enjoyed wonderful snorkeling, stand-up paddeling and Jetski. Rubén and Marta offer a familiar atmosphere on board and explained interesting facts about the beautiful fish scenery alongwith facts about the volcanic surrounding. 100% recommendation, we had a wonderful time with you. Thanks and see you again. Michael from Germany.
Simply perfect! A wonderful 3-hour journey out on the sea. It was a great experience for swimming, snorkeling, and boating. Marta and Ruben are a very nice, friendly couple. They even provided free photos, drinks, and snacks! We truly enjoyed everything, and the 3 hours passed by very quickly. For €55, it is more than satisfactory. Highly recommended!
It was a really nice day out on the water. The husband and wife team are the best hosts you could wish for. Enjoyed the snorkelling and the added extra of jet whilst on the water.
5 of 5 stars- easy cruise to easy snorkeling. Saw fish, sea stars, crabs, and a sea slug. Well run and good lunch & snacks on board. Multiple masks and float assistance if you need help swimming. Watch out that Fridays are very busy with the local Mogan Market - allow extra time to get to the boat or pick another day.
The couple were very welcoming, attentive, the view was beautiful, the food was delicious and the swimming gear was great
What a highlight! This trip was everything we wanted and more. Fantastic guides - friendly and knowledgeable. Great experience to snorkel in the bay and then warm up on deck with homemade sangria and tapas. Could rave about this trip all day!! We shall be back!!
I went on this trip with my friend and it was my first time snorkelling. Rubèn and Marta are so lovely and everything was explained in detail. We were given some food during our snorkelling stop, they offer flippers, two types of snorkels, noodles (for swimming) and a paddle board. This is definitely something I would do while in Gran Canaria as it’s so fun and the staff are so friendly.
