We’ve sailed with Exclusive Boat three times now - all on a private charter with family or most recently, a group of our closest friends and every time has been amazing! The boat is beautiful, the staff are brilliant, the food and drinks are always perfect. I honestly don’t think we could do a holiday in Gran Canaria now without factoring Exclusive Boat into our budget. We just love it so much! We will 100% be back (I’m hoping to make it an annual trip) 😍 Thank you again, we had the best time ever!

Fantastic day out. Well worth doing. Trip includes banana boat, unlimited beer, sangria or soft drinks and a plate of food. Optional water sports. Only €30 for parasailing which I done, unbelievable and amazing experience 😃 Staff so friendly and helpful. An absolute MUST DO! ❤️❤️❤️

We had read the reviews and done our research into this boat trip. We felt that it really did sound exclusive and paid our 80 euros pp for the sunset cruise. We were made aware that we would not see the sunset as it would be very late, but we didn’t mind. On arriving we were greeted by the staff with a glass of bubbles or orange. We settled into an area of the boat we were comfortable with, our cruise then started. We travelled off in the direction of Mogan and told that once there we could access the water sports, we were not interested in these. We enjoyed a nice boat journey out. When we arrived the water was a bit choppy but ok to swim. I tried the snorkel equipment and 2 paddle boards but found most of it tired and needed replacing in my opinion there was only one kayak. No safety equipment was offered. We were called for our food which tasted nice but was a few wraps and a few slices of cheese ham, some crisps and cakes. Other reviews had said they had salads tuna chicken potatoes etc so we felt a little underwhelmed.We remained at the site for approximately 2 hours, then left our site and headed home. It was here I was left thinking what did our 80 euros each buy? The boat was indeed lovely but sailed out to one spot and back with some food. I guess the exclusive part was the numbers on the boat. My partner and I are used to boat excursions most recently in Thailand and Turkey sadly this trip did not reach the levels expected. That said however the staff were really great and a credit to the exclusive boat tour.

This trip was amazing! The crew were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. They brought drinks, prepared excellent food and stopped to show us wildlife. There was lots of time to swim in the sea in a beautiful spot. I can highly recommend this trip.

Last year we had a half-day private charter which was the highlight of our holiday, so this year we thought we would go one better and book a full day charter. Our group was five adults and a child aged 9. The online communication was very good and the booking process was simple. We also arranged the optional jet skiing and parasailing. We were picked up from our hotel at the designated time and taken to the port where we were warmly greeted by the owner, Michelle, who remembered us from last year. After sorting out a few details, we boarded the boat and the two crew members introduced themselves over glasses of cava and fruit juice. After sailing out of the port we were met by the watersport company and the four adults doing the jet skis transferred to a small speedboat which took us to the jet skis whilst one adult and the child remained on board the catamaran. We were given a safety briefing and provided with life jackets before being helped onto the jet skis. We then followed the speedboat along the coast at “full throttle” which was quite an adrenaline rush and not for the faint hearted. This was much more “intense” than a typical jet ski hire from the beach, and more similar to the “jet ski safari” trips which we have done previously. We were on the jet skis for a bit longer than the time we had booked, and then the speedboat took us back to the catamaran. We then sailed to Perchel Beach, enjoying drinks and chatting to the friendly crew. At Perchel beach we were met by another speedboat, which two of us boarded for the parasailing, whilst the remainder of the party snorkelled, kayaked and paddle-boarded. The parasailing crew were very professional, with a good emphasis on safety, but ensuring we had good fun, including the obligatory “feet dip” in the ocean as well as plenty of time at the maximum height. We then boarded yet another speedboat (this one with 2x350 hp outboard engines!) to take us back to the catamaran. After snorkelling at Perchel beach amongst large shoals of fish, and chasing parrot fish amongst the rocks, we had a lovely lunch of tuna and chicken with potatoes and salad served up by the crew. We then sailed around the headland and at the next stop at Playa de Veneguera, we were met by a kayak delivering more fresh food, which we joked was “Uber Eats” on a kayak. The crew gave us the option of stopping at Playa de Veneguera or sailing on to “the big cliffs”, and we chose to sail on. We enjoyed more kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkelling before being treated to a delicious buffet dinner. For the return trip, the crew the asked if we would like to follow the coast back or go a bit further out to sea. We chose to go further out to sea. This is NOT a dolphin searching trip but we were extremely fortunate on this occasion to catch a glimpse of a small pod of dolphins as well as quite a few flying fish, and lots of sea birds. We then sailed into the pretty harbour of Puerto Mogan before stopping for more snorkelling, kayaking and paddle boarding. Here, our nine-year-old lost her headband which sank in almost 10 metres of water. This was recovered by one of the crew in an impressive display of free-diving, which we then tried (and failed) to emulate. We arrived back in Peurto Rico at just after 7pm just as the sun was beginning to set after an amazing 8 hours at sea. To be able to privately charter a half-million-euro flybridge catamaran in such idyllic settings is a truly amazing experience. This was, once again, the highlight of a fantastic holiday, made even more special by the wonderful crew who couldn’t do enough to make our trip so relaxing and memorable. When we next holiday in Gran Canaria another charter with Exclusive Boat will definitely be at the top of our agenda. A great big thank you to Michelle and her wonderful team.

This is the second time visiting Gran Canaria, both times being my birthday whilst we were there. On both occasions, my mum and dad have booked exclusive boats as a birthday present and I can honestly say it is one of the best gifts I have ever received. Firstly, all of the staff both onboard and off board the boat are absolutely amazing. Michelle is so accommodating and the crew are second to none. They cater for every single need whilst you are on the boat and are always willing to go the extra mile. This has been the case on both trips. Our first trip (May 2023) was a half day. We stopped off for snorkelling and enjoyed a beautiful buffet onboard made freshly by the crew. The food was fresh and delicious. There was more than enough for us all and the crew offered to make more if we wanted it. The drinks were unlimited and included in the price was water, beer, sangria and soft drinks. You can also purchase champagne, wine and other drinks if required which were very reasonably priced. The day was beautiful and we sailed back during sunset which was just a perfect end to the day! As we enjoyed the first trip so much, my parents booked the exclusive boat for a full day this year and again, we were not disappointed. It was hard to beat the first time, however we all felt that a full day made the experience even better. We enjoyed a number of water sports including jet skiing and parasailing. We stopped off at a number of beautiful locations for snorkelling and there was an abundance of fish including parrot fish. We had two meals, the first of which was lunch. This was a gorgeous selection of tuna and chicken, along with salad potatoes and other sides. The second was and evening buffet with wraps etc. Again, more than enough to go around. The views from the boat were spectacular and the crew really knew the best stops. We enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking on several occasions and the crew were always there to help us on and off the boat if needed. They were absolutely brilliant with my 9 year old daughter and one of the crew even retrieved a bandana which she dropped in the water. The boats are clean and well maintained and there are plenty of areas for sunbathing or shade if you prefer. The review of someone getting sun stroke and then asking for a refund is absolutely absurd. This is not the responsibility of the staff and there is a large area to keep out of the sun. Clearly this is your own responsibility and I cannot believe that a bad review has been left because of this 😂 All in all the boat trip is perfect in every way and as a family we would never ever hesitate to book each and every time we visit Gran Canaria. The only downside is that we can’t do this trip more often. Thank you to all of the crew and Michelle for making both experiences so magical!!! Hope to see you again very soon!

7th May 2024, afternoon cruise. Picked from hotel and taken to boat. Afternoon cruise was great. Crew and shore staff were excellent. Food on board was also excellent. Did the morning cruise last October so had no hesitation this time. Would recommend highly. Gordon & Lesley.

Disappointed with this experience, extremely overpriced in my opinion. Food was ok, but cold. Only two options to choose from, if vegan or vegetarian you are very limited. SUP and paddle boards were in short supply so did not get to use. I read a review that a jet ski experience would be available at an extra cost, it was not. If you are looking for a quiet and sedate boat trip/ have children and are willing to pay the price this would be ok! Not for young travellers looking for a fun trip

DO NOT BOOK VIA GET YOUR GUIDE. They work on commissions via Exclusive Boat and are purposely ignoring my emails. I booked this boat trip when I was in Gran Canaria - I became severely poorly, nearly hospitalised due to sun stroke. I spoke to Exclusive Boat via WhatsApp who agreed to part refund me which I very much appreciated. However, because I booked through Get Your Guide they are now ignoring all of my emails and ‘closing my case’ when I has responded three times! Clearly do not want to refund me as they won’t get paid. I think this is disgusting when I was extremely unwell and they have no sympathy. DO NOT BOOK THROUGH THEM. EXCLUSIVE BOAT are great but not GET YOUR GUIDE. I will be taking this further.

Brilliant, relaxing afternoon spent on the catamaran. Nothing too much trouble and made to feel very welcome. A bit indulgent just for the three of us, but thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Staff were a credit to the owners.

Fabulous boat, fabulous people, fabulous food and drink and an altogether fabulous experience. I would highly recommend to everyone.

So much fun! The crew did everything to make our trip a perfect experience. As a sea lover and an adventurous person I enjoyed the windy day and big waves. Food was fresh and tasty and sangria delicious. We loved that it was really private, only like 12 of us in the boat. We met another couple in the boat and ended up having so much fun that 5h seemed like 1h. :D Would recommend definately!

We had bad experience with this organizer. The advertised pickup service in the south turned out to be limited (which they don’t mention beforehand), and they didn’t even drop us off at the same spot or warned us beforehand it would be the case. No apologies for that either. Communication was poor.

Lovely tour: the boat was spacious and spotless, and the food was delicious. My only comment is to let others know that, for the exclusive private charter, it's only the boat itself that's private: the shuttle bus picks up lots of other people (it took over an hour, for what would have otherwise been a 25-minute drive), and when you stop for the hour of snorkerlling and kayaking, etc., the tour company has other boats there at the same time so what would have otherwise been a nice secluded bay is pretty busy. That's all fine but for a £900+ tour it's not quite as exclusive/private as advertised.
