Cruise to El Perchel on Afrikat for an easy all-inclusive sea day with transfers, food, drinks, snorkeling and optional watersports

Overview

Afrikat is an all-inclusive-style social catamaran cruise from Puerto Rico to El Perchel on Gran Canaria's southwest coast. The 4.5-hour outing combines return transport, food, drinks, snorkeling equipment and time anchored for swimming. Optional motorized watersports may be available separately, making this a livelier choice than a quiet sightseeing sail.

About the attraction
Choose Afrikat when convenience matters as much as the boat itself. Return transport is included for eligible south-coast areas, and food, drinks and snorkeling are covered once you are onboard. The route to El Perchel creates a substantial half-day at sea without requiring a full-day island tour.
Who is it for
Best for couples, families, groups of friends and mixed-age parties who want an easy half-day at sea with transport handled. It also suits travellers who value food, drinks and swimming in one outing and may want to add motorized watersports at the anchor stop. The available admission is marked wheelchair accessible, subject to confirming the boarding arrangements.
Who should skip it
Skip Afrikat if your main reason for going to sea is wildlife watching; Spirit of the Sea is the dedicated option. Choose ObyCat if you prefer the Veneguera or Tiritaña route and floating-solarium format. Optional motorized watersports are not included in the standard arrangement and cost extra.
What to expect
Use the return transport according to the pickup details in your booking confirmation, or meet at Puerto Rico if your selected option instructs you to do so.

Board Afrikat and cruise along the southwest coast towards El Perchel. The outing lasts about 4.5 hours and is built around an anchor stop for swimming, snorkeling and relaxing onboard.

Food, drinks and snorkeling equipment are included. The menu and beverage selection can vary by sailing, so check the booking details if you have specific dietary needs.

Optional watersports may be offered at the anchor stop for an additional charge. The crew manages the route and activities according to sea and weather conditions. Wildlife may be seen occasionally, but this is not a dedicated cetacean-watching excursion.
