The experience

What time does the boat actually leave? The answer depends on when the sun sets that day. The cruise departs to catch the light, so the schedule changes month to month. You'll board at Varadero, the fishing harbour in Puerto del Carmen, where the crew welcomes you with a mojito (18+ only) before casting off. The catamaran heads out along the coast, and from the deck you can watch the shoreline and scan the water for dolphins, though sighting them is never guaranteed since they're wild animals moving on their own schedule.

The 2 hours unfold with the crew managing the sails while you settle into the rhythm of the sea. A snack box arrives, and you have your pick of one complimentary drink beyond the welcome mojito: beer, wine, soft drinks or another cocktail. The real event is the light itself: the sun dropping across the horizon while you're out on the water, the colours shifting as the boat rocks gently beneath you. Jackets and comfortable shoes help with the wind and the deck, and the crew speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French or German depending on the group.

Return transfer from your accommodation is included in the booking, though if you book within 24 hours of departure, pickup isn't guaranteed. You'd head straight to Varadero instead. The itinerary can shift if weather turns rough, and the timing of the whole evening hinges on sunset, which means the start time moves around the calendar.

Can I see dolphins on this cruise?

Dolphins live in the waters off Puerto del Carmen and often appear along the coast, but sighting them is not guaranteed since they're wild animals. The crew will watch for them as you sail, and spotting one is a bonus to the evening, not a promise.

What's included in the 2-hour cruise?

The sunset sailing cruise includes a welcome mojito on boarding, a snack box during the sail, one complimentary drink of your choice, and return transfer from your accommodation to the boat and back. The crew handles all the sailing while you relax on deck.

When does the boat leave, and how do I know the exact time?

The departure time shifts with the sunset throughout the year, so it changes month to month. You'll receive the exact time when you book or closer to your date. If you book within 24 hours of departure, you'll head directly to Varadero harbour instead of arranging pickup.

What should I wear or bring?

Jackets and comfortable shoes are advised since you'll be on deck with sea breeze and a moving boat. The crew can tell you more about weather conditions closer to your departure date, and the itinerary may shift if conditions turn rough.

Is there a minimum age for this cruise?

The welcome mojito is for guests 18 and over. Children and infants can join the cruise (infants can travel in a pram or stroller), but they won't receive the alcoholic welcome drink.
