Snorkeling from Morro Jable: Sailing trip with lunch

Stand at the helm of a sailing yacht, then drop anchor to snorkel among turtles and stingrays.

A 3.5-hour sailing trip from Morro Jable on a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42.2 yacht with room for up to eight people. You steer the boat under the captain's supervision, snorkel in Jandia bays where turtles, stingrays and fish gather, and eat a fresh lunch on board with wine, beer and soft drinks. Hotel pickup from Costa Calma is included. The crew speaks English, Spanish, German, Russian and one additional language.

The Experience

The boat leaves Morro Jable and you can take the helm almost immediately: the captain supervises while you feel the yacht respond to your hands. If you'd rather watch the ocean and the rigging work, that's fine too. The day doesn't demand anything of you except showing up. The crew keeps an eye out for dolphins, whales, turtles and flying fish as you sail toward the Jandia bays. Most days the water holds something worth watching.

Once anchored, you get snorkeling gear and time in the water. Turtles, stingrays and small fish move through the blue shallows. What you see depends on the day and the season, but the crew knows where to position the boat. You can stay in as long as you want or skip it entirely and stay on deck with a drink. The water is cold enough that a wetsuit matters, though the operator doesn't mention one. Ask about that before you book if you're sensitive to cold.

Lunch arrives while the boat sits at anchor: potatoes with mojo sauce, Canarian ham, cheese, salads and bread made fresh that morning. Wine, beer, cava and soft drinks flow throughout. If you're vegetarian, vegan or have allergies, tell the crew in the booking comments and they'll prepare something else. The whole thing takes 3.5 hours from start to finish. A shuttle bus picks you up from Costa Calma hotels and brings you back. If you're staying elsewhere in Jandia, ask about the pickup point when you reserve.

Is this one for you?The shuttle from Costa Calma means you don't need a car or a taxi to reach the boat. You're picked up and dropped off at your hotel, so the whole day stays simple if you're renting a small space or traveling without wheels. The small group of eight keeps the boat from feeling like a ferry, and the captain's supervision means you can steer without needing sailing experience.

Can I actually steer the boat, or is that just something they say?

You can stand at the helm and lead the yacht under the captain's direct supervision. The captain stays with you the whole time and keeps control of the boat. You're steering it, not sailing it alone, but you're the one holding the wheel and feeling how it responds to the water.

What will I see snorkeling in the Jandia bays?

Turtles, stingrays and small reef fish are common in these waters. What you encounter depends on the season and the day, but the crew positions the boat where wildlife gathers and knows the spots worth visiting.

Is the snorkeling gear included, or do I need to bring my own?

Snorkeling equipment is provided on the boat. You don't need to bring your own, though you can if you prefer your own mask and fins.

How do I get to Morro Jable if I'm staying in Costa Calma?

A shuttle bus picks you up from Costa Calma hotels and brings you back after the trip. If you're staying elsewhere in the Jandia area, confirm your pickup point when you book.

What's included in the lunch, and can you handle dietary restrictions?

Lunch on board features fresh Canarian products: potatoes with mojo sauce, ham, cheese, salads and bread. Wine, beer, cava and soft drinks are served throughout. Tell the crew about vegetarian, vegan or allergy needs in the booking comments and they'll prepare dishes for you.

How many people go on the boat at once?

The yacht holds a maximum of eight people, so the group stays small and the boat doesn't feel crowded.
