About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- AbbiBettles0 contributionsAlways the highlight of our Gran Canaria holidays!!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!Written 1 October 2024
- Samalam1140 contributionsBrilliant day ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Absolutely brilliant boat trip! Loved every moment. Staff really friendly. Food was amazing (very fussy eaters and ate all of the food) salad way yummy. Water sports were offered at a great price. We had the best day. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5….when booking it gave the option for transfer which we selected and clicked our hotel. We emailed to see what time the pick up was and we were told that we have to make our own way there and back. Thought it could be down to being October/not busy…..when we got there other people had transfers. We asked the staff on the boat and they seemed surprised at this. We ended up having to pay €10 on taxi’s to and from the harbour.Written 1 October 2024

- 93georgee0 contributionsFantastic Service, modern and sleek boat 🚢Once again, Amazing from start to finish. Twice this year we have booked with you guys and again, can't fault a thing. Well looked after, we had Calum look after us this time who like the rest of the team on previous experiences gave 5 star service. The boat is so well equipped and ultra modern. So far in the last 4 years we have only and will only take this trip only with you guys. See you again in Feb 2025 GeoWritten 12 September 2024
- jakes2010 contributionsGreat day, great value for moneyExcellent day out and one of the best value for money excursions I’ve ever been on. Absolute steal at the price, we would’ve paid triple for what we experienced. Pick up and drop off included, friendly staff, all the drinks you could need and loads of fun just using the kayaks and paddle boards in the water. Lunch was way better than we expected too, gorgeous fresh food. Staff spoke a number of languages, heard English, French and Spanish all fluent. Shout out to Gerry too, he was super friendly and answered all our questions. Overall a great day out and 100000% worth doing, cant see a way that you would regret it.Written 11 September 2024
- ElouiseSpencer0 contributionsGreat for familiesBrilliant trip. Well worth the money, you get what you pay for. No long queues, lots of space to relax and enjoy your time on the waves. Free drinks served throughout, you have options to buy other drinks, should you wish. Nothing is forced. We chose to have a jet ski, which was brilliant for our 8 year old! My only wish was we were closer to take a picture of her on it, as I wasn’t allowed to take my phone with me. Still didn’t stop us enjoying the moments, I just know her nanny would have loved to have seen it, nothing negative here though! Free use of their equipment, paddle board, kayak, snorkeling gear etc which was a great touch. Bring your own if you don’t want to share. No pressure here either. The food was great, everything tasty, you were allowed to go up for more, until everything is gone. Lots of room to sit in the sun or out of it. As we have two children we sat mostly out of it but no fighting for shade. Approximately 15 of us on our ride. Everything cleaned. Staff attentive. Overall top service, I’ll be looking at doing it again before we leave.Written 7 September 2024
- Leah M0 contributionsGreat day and worth the moneyBrilliant experience, very well organised. The two lads were very attentive and always made sure you had a drink in hand. There was plenty of space on board to stretch out even with full capacity. The lunch was great, not everyday you get to eat a tuna steak. The best part was swimming, trying the kyack and watching the others fall off the stand up paddle board 😂. I would say it's a bit pricy at what we paid, €80.00 pp but considering that the other cruises are around €50 and are packed with no swimming or food and drink, it's very good and worth the money for a memorable day. Just wish it was a bit longer but time flies when you're having fun. Thanks for a great day out 😁Written 6 September 2024
- T2845IZlaurac0 contributionsBook itWhat a lovely cruise! The boat was clean, well stocked with refreshments and spacious. The boat felt luxurious with areas to sit inside and outside. We went paddle boarding, kayaking and snorkeling. My husband and daughter went jet skiing ( about €30) which they enjoyed. On the second stop we had another swim and a small kayak approached with our food ! A fantastic day and would definitely do this again. We saw people boarding the other boats which must carry at least a 150 people and we felt fortunate. Our boat carried a maximum of 18 and on our boat we only had 12 people ( 3 families). It's definitely worth that little bit more money.Written 2 September 2024
- Lyn G0 contributionsPerfect boat trip!Very well organised. Good pick up and short trip to boat. Welcome drink. Crewe were lovely and couldn’t do enough. We loved the food - simple but super tasty. Lovely local potatoes, chicken, salad and make sure you try the dip. Stopped for a swim and snorkel. Off again and and stopped for another swim and lunch. Just perfect and what we were looking for. Thank you!Written 2 September 2024
- rachelfG6374TI0 contributionsWow what a wonderful dayWow! What a wonderful day. Lived up to all expectations. We arrived at the scheduled time and everything was so well organised. Only criticism might be the lack of shade but that’s just us! We were separated into two boats by language. And welcomed aboard with a glass of prosecco, fruit juice or water – whatever your preference might be. We were given free rein of the boat to sit wherever we chose. We decided to sit near the front on the lower deck. However, we did detect that other passengers had done a similar experience before and made a bee line for the extreme front with the inevitable towels which were not occupied for much of the trip. As advertised, we were invited for parasailing and other aqua activities (for an additional charge). We declined and decided to swim in the sea where we were given access to snorkelling equipment and paddleboards all with no extra charge. Then off again and the journey continued with unlimited drinks as we travelled, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The lunch was absolutely splendid. Plenty of food and really tasty. We were given the choice of tuna or breaded chicken. We both chose the chicken which was served with salad, bread and potatoes with a delicious dip, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. All in all, exactly as advertised and highly recommended.Written 21 August 2024
- RobertYu80 contributionsLovely trip with friendly crewThis is a lovely trip up the coast of Gran Canaria. There are two boats that sail out together. Our family of five were in Boat 2 with a total of around 16 people on board. There was enough room for each family/group/couple to have their own personal space. Gerry and his crew member (didn't catch his name, sorry) were really friendly and gave clear instructions on what to expect. The first stop is just north of Mogan, where we paid €32 for the use of a jet ski (€27 for parasailing). Eldest daughter and middle daughter loved their jet ski experience. Youngest daughter and myself had the second jet ski and unfortunately it had a fault (engine kept flooding or overheating and could not get consistent power) so this was a small disappointment. Upon return to the boat, the snorkelling gear, paddleboards and canoe were made available. This was great fun swimming in the ocean. Amazing view of the fishes. We then cruised to the second stop, which was about 20-30 minutes away. When the boat was anchored at this stop, Gerry declared the "swimming pool is open". A few minutes later, someone noticed a fin in the water. Apparently there were two hammerhead sharks several metres from Boat 2 circling each other. Gerry said there was no danger but unsurprisingly no one was keen to do any more ocean swimming after that. Food was nice (breaded chicken or tuna, salad, potatoes). Plenty of drinks available. An earlier review mentioned seasickness, and a couple of passengers on Boat 2 (wife included) were seasick. The journey back to port was quite cold due to the ocean breeze so a warm top is advisable. Lastly, compliments to the Exclusive Boat team for being so well organised (communicating the time of pick up, have a dedicated shuttle bus to take us to Puerto Rico harbour and then back to the hotel, and assigning people to their respective boats upon arrival). This trip was one of the highlights of our holiday in Gran Canaria.Written 13 August 2024
- ashleygC7108SZ0 contributionsFantastic boat trip with great food and friendly staffThis was by far one of the best boat trips I've done. Excellent service and the staff are great. The food was also really good. Took my wife for her birthday and it was such a good few hours out.Written 13 August 2024

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.

Thank you for your review
We have noted the negative aspects you report -
The equipment is constantly replaced
There is safety equipment on board, it is not compulsory to wear, except if there was an emergency, but life jackets, rings and floating aids are there on the boats
The food you mention of chicken, tuna and potatoes is the food offered on the morning trip - if you had the wraps etc then you were on the afternoon trip - the food served late afternoon is more of a tapas style buffet where you can eat as much or little as you want because we find that a lot of people are going out for dinner after the trip
I am glad that there were some positives that you enjoyed
We also hope that you would join us again if you return to Gran Canaria

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

Very well-maintained, clean catamaran with a very friendly, service-oriented crew. Drinks are served during the trip, and after 2 hours there is delicious food (chicken or tuna). The most important points: the weather was perfect ;) calm wind and 28 degrees. And: small, exclusive group of max. 20 people. You don't go far out to sea, you drive along the coast. Fantastic panorama.
What more could you want? Definitely do it!

We chose this catamaran tour with my best friend to please us and we were not disappointed! The catamaran is very spacious and there are not many people on board (max 20pers). The staff is very attentive and always with a smile. You have at your disposal masks and snorkels, 2 paddle boards and a kayak. You can also go jet skiing but it will be extra. Likewise you have unlimited drinks but cocktails are extras. In short, thank you very much we had fun;)

Everything was super good, it is very spacious, there were not many people and you did not feel overwhelmed, for being in a boat full of people. There were plenty of places to sunbathe. The wai snorkeling site had all the necessary equipment. The crew guys are very friendly, looking out for you at all times. I really didn't lack anything, there was a welcome glass of cava, soft drinks and other drinks throughout the route, unlimited, and a well-served pica pica. And the jewel of the route is seeing the sunset from the catamaran, incredible. It is a perfect plan to go alone, as was my case, or as a couple or family and enjoy the coast of the island.

What an exceptional day spent on board the catamaran!
The landscapes were simply breathtaking, with panoramic views of the sea and the island that will remain etched in our memories.
Stops in the coves to swim and observe the multitude of fish 🐠🐡were perfect, the crystal clear water and the enchanting setting allowed us to recharge fully.
The meal on board was a real delight, with tasty and well prepared dishes.
And what about the crew!
They were simply great: professional, warm and caring for us to have an unforgettable day.
Thank you for this magical experience at sea!
