Snorkeling Lobos Island from Corralejo: Private Sailboat

What makes a private boat different: you pick the activities, the pace, and who comes along.

A 4-hour private sailboat trip from Corralejo to Lobos Island where you snorkel, paddleboard, fish or sunbathe depending on what you want that day. The boat carries your group only, with a live guide in English or Spanish, all equipment provided, and lunch with drinks included. Morning, afternoon and evening departures let you choose when to be on the water.

The Experience

You meet the crew at the Corralejo port and board a sailboat that leaves within the hour. The crossing to Lobos Island takes roughly an hour under sail (conditions permitting), which gives you time to settle in and watch the Atlantic change color as you approach. Once you arrive, the water stops being a route and becomes the point — snorkel with a mask and fins, paddle out on a board with an oar, cast a line for fish, or simply lie back and let the boat rock you. The crew handles the gear and watches the conditions; you decide what to do.

Lunch is Canarian food, served on board with beer and soft drinks included. The meal breaks up the afternoon and gives you a moment to dry off and talk about what you've seen underwater. After eating, some groups go back in the water; others stay topside and watch the island. The return sail to Corralejo closes the day, and if the wind cooperates, the motor stays off.

The boat is private to your group, which means no strangers, no schedule pressure, and no guide splitting attention across twenty people. A guide who speaks English or Spanish stays with you the whole time. You book for 2 to 7 people depending on the option you choose, and the price is set before you arrive — no surprises at the dock.

Top questions

What's the water like around Lobos Island for snorkeling?

The water is turquoise and shallow enough to see the seabed near the island. Snorkeling happens at the stop itself, with the crew watching conditions and staying close by. The water temperature and visibility depend on the season, but the crew knows the best spots and adjusts based on what the day offers.

Do I need experience to paddleboard or fish, or can I try it for the first time?

Both paddleboarding and fishing are beginner-friendly. The crew provides all equipment and shows you how to use it. You can try one activity, skip it, or switch between snorkeling and paddleboarding depending on what appeals to you in the moment.

How many people can book this private boat?

The boat takes groups of 2 to 7 people. You choose the group size at checkout — options are 2–3 people, 4 people, 5 people, or 6–7 people — and the price adjusts accordingly.

What times can we depart from Corralejo?

Morning, afternoon, and evening departures are available. You pick the time that suits your schedule when you book, so you're not locked into a set time slot.

Is lunch included, and can you handle dietary needs?

Lunch is included and features Canarian food. A vegetarian option is available — let the crew know when you book if you need it or have other dietary requirements, and they'll prepare it for you.

What happens if the weather doesn't cooperate?

The crew checks conditions before departure and adjusts the itinerary if needed. Snorkeling and paddleboarding depend on calm water; if conditions aren't safe, the crew will tell you before you leave the dock and work with you on options.
