About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 160jonesh0 contributionsFantastic trip!Fantastic trip! Would definitely recommend, with a good selection of water activities but also a chilled atmosphere. Really friendly staffWritten 6 October 2024
- LizJD810 contributionsFun and relaxing boat trip!Thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon boat trip with Afrikat! Staff were engaging, funny and enthusiastic and kept a great energy going with their passengers all afternoon. Free beer, sangria and soft drinks and a free cup to take home as a souvenir! The trip was a leisurely ride around the coast to a quiet little cove where we moored for a couple of hours to do some free snorkelling, and other watersports which cost extra but all pretty reasonable and no hard sell, very much optional. Food was nice enough, a wrap with some potato salad but make sure you eat well before you leave and have an evening meal planned! As we came back around the coast at the end of the day, the sun was setting over the ocean and the very talented saxophonist gave a wonderful performance against the sunset. Beautiful!Written 25 September 2024
- Karen E0 contributionsLovely afternoon on the waterFrom start to finish all of the crew were attentive. They served our first drinks straight to us. We were on the bed on the upper deck which was so comfortable. The catamaran was not overcrowded so everyone got a bed/seat. Once the anchor was dropped we had a choice of jet ski (which was at an extra cost or the speedboat which was free. There were snorkels you could use as well. We had a good 2 hours to swim and do water sports then they served the food which was a delicious chicken wrap and potato salad. We also finished the trip listening to a lovely young lady playing the saxophone. I would definitely recommend this trip!Written 10 September 2024
- Kev_Shim0 contributionsBrilliant TripThis was a brilliant trip and enjoyed every minute. Sailed along the coast for about an hour, free booze and taking in the views and the vibe. Anchored up in a secluded bay for two hours were you could do what you wanted. Swim, snorkel equipment provided it you wanted to do this. Our trip involved a free speed boat trip which was exhilarating and great fun. I also paid €10 for a 'doughnut' ride which was also superb. You could even go on jet-ski for a small fee, but I passed on that one. The two hours here went over so fast, the beer and sangria flowed throughout the trip, there were non alcoholic drinks available as well. Before we set off home, food was provided. A wrap with a couple of side dishes. Whilst the trip out was chilled, the trip back was more of a party atmosphere. We were treated to a live saxophone artist playing along with the music which everyone enjoyed. €75 per person may seem a lot, but it's well worth it. This was the best 4 hours or so of our holiday.Written 8 September 2024
- Venture600331882350 contributionsGreat afternoon boat rideWe had a fantastic time on the Afrikat afternoon trip. We were a bit slow getting on the boat and missed a place at the front, which wasn't the end of the world. There is smoking at the back though, so might be worth getting to the front of the queue to avoid that! Once the activities started, people moved about anyway so we were able to spend some time at the front. Free beer and soft drinks for the whole trip! The food was ok, but I was glad we'd had a good lunch before as not very filling. If you have dietary requirements make sure you let staff know BEFORE you board as otherwise the only option is chicken wrap. The activities included (free) snorkeling, or extra for the speedboat, donut, jetskis. The snorkeling was enough fun for us, with lots of fish and very clear water. The sun started to set on the way back and we were treated to a very talented saxophone performance. All in all a great day, make sure to bring lots of sunscreen!Written 6 September 2024
- Curiosity376999848430 contributionsOverpricedOverpriced for what you recieve, the only activity that is free to do is swim. everything else is 35 euros extra, on top of the 75€ original cost. We were under the impression that sangria was included but when we asked if they had white sangria we were brought a bottle of white wine and charged 15€ at the end of the journey. We were not informed of the additional cost. Beer and soft drinks were the only thing included in the price aswell as a very mediocre wrap that came out almost 3.5 hours into the trip. Overall staff were incredibly friendly and helpful however we did return feeling quite disappointed in what was actually included on the trip.Written 30 August 2024

- krisdowning0 contributionsFantastic!Best boat trip I have been on. Captain very welcoming and crew could not do enough for you. Boat spotless and as a small group this made the experience a lot more enjoyable. Food good was good. Watersports at a reasonable reduced cost while getting decent time on them. Sax player topped it all off on the way back. Fantastic experience! Highly recommended.Written 17 August 2024
- juicyju20050 contributionsFantastic - book it!!Fantastic Day! We have just got off the Afrikat and had the best afternoon! The staff were superb, fun but not in your face. Free drinks flowing. Great options for the extras, jet skis, parasailing and donut. Plus a free speedboat ride. Free snorkels for a swim. Great food and drinks options. No heavy selling. Not overly full of people. Saxophonist completed the day! She was awesome. First time I’ve seen the teens smile all week - worth every penny. All pre information/comms were super professional too. If you do one trip do this!Written 16 August 2024

- Hollie P0 contributionsAfrikat boat tripAfrikat was one of the best boat trips me and my family have been on. The colleagues were super nice and friendly. They couldn’t have done any better!! Great music. We got to the part of the sea where everyone was able to jump into the water. We were given three options of what water sport we wanted to do (jet ski, doughnut, speed boat). Me and my family did the speed boat and that was amazing. We went by some caves and the driver was telling us all about it and we spotted Mount Teide in the far distance. Food was delicious! The best food we had on a boat trip. Options of what type of wraps you wanted (Bacon and cheese or Chicken and bacon) it was also served with potatoes and nachos. Everything about the trip was amazing and would highly recommend anyone to book a boat trip with Afrikat.Written 31 July 2024
- 858shirleyp0 contributionsAfrikat Boat TripGreat experience, staff onboard were very friendly and we put at ease right away. Boat was overloaded with passengers having plenty space to sit and move around. Food was wrap and salad which was good and drinks available from the start of the trip to the end. Great value for money with extra activities at discount prices. Stunning views also. One of our group was very unwell (seasick) and the crew were so kind and caring and were very helpful. 🥰 we definitely do it again. 😊👍🏻 entertainment of the Saxophone player was amazing!Written 27 July 2024

Left feeling disappointed as this was not what we were expecting at all.
Booked this after reading the amazing reviews and the ‘12 person cap’ mentioned in the about information.
On the day, as we were staying in the area, we walked down to the dock 30 min prior to departure as asked, checked in and was asked to come back 20 minutes later. When we returned we were surprised as to how many people were waiting, and then the buses turned up and the total amount of people was in excess of 40 - definitely not the 12 we thought.
When we got on the boat, we were herded onto the boat and asked to sit on some lounge cushions on the front. However there were so many people that we couldn’t lie down, without having someone feet in your face.
The water activities were expensive for what they were, I did the paragliding and was in the air for 3/4 minutes, with 2 strangers - not really too comfortable or enjoyable.
The complimentary speedboat ride was fun but definitely not the 10 minutes that was advertised.
The staff were really polite, but seemed more focused on getting you to spend money. The food was very basic and the drinks ran out towards the end of the cruise. For the £60+ each we spent, it was disappointing and from reading the other reviews, I don’t know what boat they were on as we had very different experiences

Good afternoon and thank you for taking the time to review Afrikat. It is sad to hear that your expectations were not met. We are also confused about where you read the 12 person capacity as this is completely incorrect and not suggested anywhere by Afrikat. Our information states that we are a catamaran of 69 foot - a group of 12 passengers would be absolutely lost onboard such a large catamaran. Maybe there has been confusion as we limit the amount of passengers in an individual booking to 12 passengers (our reason for this is that we want everyone onboard to feel comfortable and not as if they are joining someone else's party onboard).
The Watersport activities are priced at approximately 50% of the price when compared to a beach front activity provider. Unfortunately, it is not always possible that passengers can fly alone, which is why we ask wherever possible that passengers fly together.
Our drinks are beer on tap and sangria and soft drinks, we have ample storage onboard and so your comment that the drinks ran out is surprising. Perhaps I could ask you to contact us privately to let us know when and how you reserved - I would like to ask our crew if there was a problem with drinks that I wasn't made aware of.
Again, our apologies that your expectations of your Afrikat experience were not met.

We arrived to the boat and realized that we didnt bring towels, "okay we thought they must have towels you can borrow or buy". I explained to the guy who's name was Potter that if there was any we could borrow or buy. He said you can't borrow but you can buy. Alright i said and then i asked how much he said 20 euros. When i later went inside the boat i saw a sign which said "lend towel 10 euros, and buy for 15 euros". So he overcharged 5 euros. Not that it's any amount of money which is the reason why i didnt even say anything but it sends a signal of what kind of people they are.
The boat ride itself was terrible, loud music and no sightseeing what so ever. They pulled us near a cliff (which we ended up staying all the time) there we were suppose to "snorkel" we didnt see anything but some fish and they didnt even have proper snorkel equipment. When i asked about it and refered to another boat that was close by, which had proper snorkel equipment he said that they were "private" but i saw the company of that boat hand out the equipment. Anyhow, we were given a inclusive "speedboat ride" to see a cliff that was nothing special at all.
The food they served was meatballs, potatos and some vegatables, no other option. Wasn't any good anyways.
This guy also tried to explain everything in every langauge possible which was very annoying and repetetive. I would think English is enough.
Then we have the jetskis and stuff. They charged 30 euro for a 10 min ride in a designated area which was basically a small round circle around in the ocean.
Overall experience was the worst boat experience i have ever had.
If you want to throw money, then this is for you.
I dont understand these positive reviews people have written about them.
Maybe they changed the route or something for corona? They trying to save money on budget snorkel equipment?

We really enjoyed this excursion. We chose the afternoon option and were treated to a fabulous jazz performer during the return to port.
The staff are brilliant (and hilariously funny). They really make you feel welcome and go out of their way to ensure everyone is enjoying themselves.
Lunch was really nice and they a decent range of complimentary drinks, but we did end up paying a little extra to try the cocktails, which were lovely.
All in all we had a brilliant time and would highly recommend the Afrikat.

This was by far the best day we spent in Gran Canaria. The bus picked us up from Yumbo shopping centre and in 30 minutes we were in Puerto Rico. The staff welcomed us and within 20 minutes from that we were sailing already. The boat is well looked after, clean and comfortable. We sat in the back on the boat for the whole journey, initially I thought it might be uncomfortable but it turned out it doesn’t matter when the boat stops. The boat typically stops in a little bay where we were offered different water sports activities, after some time we were offered some food and drinks were free the whole time. During the trip there was a saxophonist playing for us, which was absolutely brilliant. I wanted to publicly thank the staff for the amazing experience and for helping us retrieving our flat’s keys, after few drinks were lucky that’s the only thing left behind! We will do it again next year, 100%

This is without doubt the best day you could wish for out on the ocean, from the friendly welcome when you walk onboard to leaving the crew cannot do enough for you. We went as a family, the kids absolutely loved the paragliding, donut and speedboat, jetski also available all with 50% discount. You will be issued with your own Afrikat cup which allows you to refill as many times as you wish from beer / sangria / soft drinks, lunch is served which is prepared from a local restaurant, superb !! Snorkeling is amazing and a must do when anchored in the bay. Mojitos are available at additional price, possibly one of the best you will ever have. We booked the morning cruise which had Ashley playing the sax on the return to Puerto Rico, she is truly amazing.
The boat has plenty of room to walk around and is never overcrowded giving a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of beds to lie out on and chill, important to note the crew follow all protocol with your safety and enjoyment their number one objective. This is why customers ( include ourselves) keep returning every year.
Thanks again to all the crew for a day to remember.

Being lucky enough to get away in December from covid/Brexit UK, we booked an excursion with TUI and was apprehensive about the safety on board and how many people would actually go. Potter and all the team were so lovely and welcoming. The covid secure procedures were comforting and we had the best time relaxing and snorkelling. Couldn’t recommend more for anyone looks for a boat cruise.

Absolutely wonderful trip aboard from start to finish. We really liked the fact it wasn't massively overcrowded so that the staff could make it a more personal experience with everyone on board. The boat was clean and had great facilities free snorkels etc . The all inclusive drinks and food made it even better!. Also included was an optional speedboat trip which we did and was fab. Half price jet ski, paragliding and donut were all worth the money and the best part was the saxophonist playing us back home . All in all a highly recommended trip ! And suitable for everyone :)

I can't even begin to tell you how amazing this boat trip was. Potter was a hilarious, multilingual man who didn't cease to impress and make us laugh. We felt welcome the minute we stepped on board the Afrikat, thanks to the crew. The drinks were well made, the food was good and the water activities were great, too.
My only complaint is that the trip was too short. We could easily have lounged on the deck two hours more. If we come back to Gran Canaria, we will without a doubt return to the Afrikat as well. What a fantastic experience. Thank you so much for having us.
Much love from your Danish friends, Mette and Daniel. 🇩🇰❤

The crew was fun and cruise was okay despite the weather. However I am pretty certain that the free drinks did not contain alcohol. After drinking 6 "beers" on the cruise I tested how drunk I was at the hotel with breathalyzer (had one with me for fun). The result: 0.00. Sure, the walk from boat to hotel lasted 30 minutes. It would be nice to know what the "beer" and "sangria" was. I don't hate the player, I hate the game. One star more to review from good hustle. If you book a trip test for yourself how much you can drink. Of course I understand that boat full of drunken people is dangerous, but at price of 69€ I expected free drinks to do something.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review of Afrikat with other travellers.
We are sorry to hear that your expectations from our all-inclusive drinks package was not met, especially the beer. From all of our many reviews, you can see that we have never received any comments of this nature. We can assure you that our beer on tap is not adjusted in any way at all, it is in exactly the same consistency and quality as when supplied by our provider.
We hope to welcome you onboard again soon.
Sunny regards from Gran Canaria and the Afrikat team.

Thank you to Potter and his great team! We had a wicked day out lounging in the sun, meeting some great people, drinking fabulous mojitos and snorkelling in clear water with the option to do loads of watersports at a great price! We opted for Parasailing and the Donuts, which were both really fun and very much worth it.
What I also liked was the ethos of the crew in terms of ocean preservation. We all got cups to keep, as a way of minimising single use plastic going into our oceans. The straws were also sugar, in order to create an alternative to plastic. I massively respect the company for committing to our oceans, especially as it gives us the ability to enjoy activities like snorkelling with happy, colourful fish to swim around with! Kudos to you guys!
Thank you to the team for making the day really fun and full of great energy - we are so happy we booked the tickets!
