Lanzarote: Private Yacht Boat Trips & day at sea

Lanzarote’s volcanic coast looks best from the water, and this private Rodman 41 yacht gives you five hours to enjoy it at your own pace. You can swim, snorkel, fish, paddle a kayak, sunbathe on the bow, or simply watch the coast slide by with a drink in hand.

I like the private format, since your group can shape the day instead of following a fixed sightseeing script. I also like the practical extras: fishing rods, snorkeling gear, kayak, paddle surf equipment, snacks, soft drinks, beer, and wine are included. The main drawback is the high total price, especially for a small group, and plans may change if the weather turns poor.

Key points to know before booking

• A private Rodman 41 for up to 10: The whole boat is reserved for your group, with room to set the pace and choose activities.
• Five hours at sea: Expect a half-day outing with time for swimming, snorkeling, fishing, coastal views, and a snack break.
• Two possible departure areas: You can request Marina Rubicon in Playa Blanca or Puerto Calero, but confirm the exact meeting port before booking.
• Equipment is supplied: Kayak, paddle surf gear, snorkeling equipment, fishing rods, and fishing materials are included.
• Food and drinks are simple but useful: Freshly made snacks come with soft drinks, beer, and wine. A fuller meal costs extra.
• Weather matters: The route and activities can change in Atlantic conditions, so keep your plans flexible.

A private yacht day on Lanzarote’s Atlantic coast

This is not a standard sightseeing cruise with a rigid timetable. Daiza Charter treats the five-hour trip as a custom day at sea, which is the main reason to choose it over a larger shared boat.

You can set out from Puerto Calero or Marina Rubicon, the marina beside Playa Blanca. The supplied itinerary names Puerto Calero as the starting point and return point, while the booking information also allows Marina Rubicon. I would confirm the exact departure location when you reserve, especially if you are staying in Playa Blanca or another part of the island.

Once aboard, the crew can tailor the time to your group. You might spend the first part cruising along Lanzarote’s volcanic coast, then stop for a swim. You can also ask for time to snorkel, fish, paddle a kayak, use the paddle surf equipment, or go ashore by kayak if conditions and the chosen area allow it.

That freedom is valuable for mixed groups. Strong swimmers can head into the Atlantic, while anyone who prefers a quiet hour can stay on deck and enjoy the view. Children, if included in your private party, may appreciate the variety, though the supplied information does not specify age limits or child-specific facilities.

Leaving from Puerto Calero or Marina Rubicon

Puerto Calero and Marina Rubicon offer different settings, but both put you close to Lanzarote’s southern coast. Puerto Calero is the named start and finish in the main route, while Marina Rubicon is available as an alternative departure area in Playa Blanca.

Do not assume the boat will visit both marinas. The information gives you a choice of departure point, not a promise of a route between them. Confirm where you should arrive, and allow enough time to find the marina and boat before departure.

The trip lasts five hours, but the exact start time depends on availability. A morning departure may suit you if swimming and fishing are the main goals. A later departure could work better if you want softer light and the chance to enjoy the sunset mentioned in the experience description.

Because sunset is not guaranteed for every departure time, ask about the schedule before booking if that is important to you. A five-hour cruise can end well before sunset if it starts early.

Seeing Lanzarote from the water

From deck level, you get a different view of Lanzarote’s coast than you do from the road. The island’s volcanic character is especially clear from the Atlantic, where dark rock, open water, and low coastal forms create a spare, dramatic scene.

The yacht is a Rodman 41, a sizeable private boat suited to a group of up to 10 people. The description places emphasis on an excellent yacht condition, which matters on a five-hour trip. A clean, well-kept boat makes it easier to move between the bow, seating areas, and activity points without feeling cramped.

The strongest part of the outing is the combination of movement and downtime. You can cruise with views on the way, then stop to swim or snorkel. After that, you might return to the deck for a drink and snack before trying your luck with a fishing rod.

The crew can also explain the island, its residents, and the sea life around it. That added context gives the scenery more meaning. You are not just looking at a rocky shoreline. You can ask questions about what you see and learn more about the waters around Lanzarote.

Swimming and snorkeling in the Atlantic

Swimming is one of the clearest reasons to book this trip. A private boat lets your group spend more time in the water if that is what everyone wants, rather than rushing back on a shared schedule.

Snorkeling equipment is included, so you do not need to bring your own mask or fins. The activity includes marine life viewing, but no specific species or guaranteed wildlife sightings are given. Bring realistic expectations: you may see marine life, but the ocean is not an aquarium with a fixed show.

Water conditions can change, and the crew may alter the plan for safety. The company specifically notes that excursions can change because of weather. That is sensible for an Atlantic outing, but it means you should not treat a particular swim or snorkeling stop as guaranteed.

Pack a towel, swimsuit, hat, sunscreen, and beachwear. You should also be ready to spend time in the sun even when you are not swimming. The boat’s open deck is part of the appeal, but it offers little shelter from strong sunlight unless the yacht has a shaded area, which is not specified.

Fishing, kayaking, and paddle surf time

Fishing equipment and rods are included, so you can try fishing without arranging a separate charter. The information does not promise a particular catch or type of fishing. Think of it as one activity among several, not a dedicated fishing expedition.

That distinction matters. If your whole group wants serious fishing for five hours, ask the crew in advance whether the trip can be arranged around that goal. The tour is designed to combine fishing with swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and cruising.

The kayak and paddle surf equipment add another option for active time near the boat. You can paddle along the coast or use the kayak to reach a beach, depending on the route and conditions. The description does not state the number of kayaks or paddle boards, so a large group should ask how the equipment is shared.

There is also a separate possibility of water activities with the Seamaster Dinghy, but these are not included. Ask for the price and details before you decide. Do not assume the dinghy activities form part of the basic package.

Snacks, drinks, and optional meals

Included refreshments are more than a bottle of water. You receive a freshly made snack plus soft drinks, beer, and wine. That is enough to make the half-day outing feel self-contained, especially after swimming or paddling.

I would still bring any food your group especially wants. You are allowed to bring your own food, and the crew can arrange a personalized breakfast, lunch, or dinner for an extra charge. The supplied information does not give menu choices or meal prices, so request those details before paying.

The included food is best viewed as a snack service, not a full lunch. If you are booking around mealtimes, either bring something substantial or ask for a meal in advance. A private charter is a good setting for a birthday meal or special occasion, but the menu must be arranged separately.

Glass objects are not allowed aboard. Use cans, plastic containers, or other permitted packaging for anything you bring. This rule is practical on a moving boat, especially around bare feet and wet decks.

What the five-hour schedule feels like

A typical day has enough time for several activities, but not necessarily every option at length. The boat departs, cruises along the coast, and reaches areas suitable for swimming, snorkeling, fishing, or paddling. You then return to port after five hours.

If you want a little of everything, tell the crew before departure. Since this is a custom trip, your wishes help shape the day. A group focused on relaxation might spend more time cruising and sunbathing, while an active group could request shorter stops for several water activities.

The crew is available to advise you, which helps if you do not know the coast or the sea conditions. You can ask what makes sense on the day instead of trying to force a plan that does not fit the weather.

The mention of sunset adds appeal, but timing is the key. Ask for a late departure if a sunset return is central to your plans. Otherwise, treat the sunset as a possible bonus rather than a fixed feature of every five-hour booking.

Is the price good value?

The listed price is $1,707 for a private group of up to 10 people. At full capacity, that works out to about $171 per person. For 10 people, the cost covers a private yacht, captain and crew service, five hours, equipment, and refreshments.

For a small group, the calculation changes quickly. Four people would pay roughly $427 per person if you split the total evenly. That makes this a special-occasion purchase rather than a casual half-day activity for most couples.

The value improves if your group wants privacy and flexibility. You are paying for control over the pace, not just a seat on a boat. The ability to combine swimming, fishing, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle surf, and coastal cruising can also replace several smaller activities.

The value is weaker if you only want a short boat ride or a guaranteed fishing session. In that case, a cheaper shared cruise or focused fishing trip may suit you better. Before booking, make sure your group actually wants the private format, since the price is set per boat rather than per person.

Who should book this yacht trip?

I would recommend it most for families, couples traveling with friends, and groups celebrating a special occasion. A private boat gives you space to adjust the day around different energy levels and interests.

It also suits people who dislike crowded group excursions. You can talk with your own party, ask the crew for advice, and change the balance between activities and rest. The available languages are Spanish, English, Italian, and French, which makes communication easier for many international visitors.

This is less suitable if you need a fully fixed itinerary, guaranteed wildlife sightings, or a low-cost activity. Weather may alter the plan, and the ocean itself decides how good the swimming and snorkeling conditions will be.

The boat is also not the best choice for someone who wants a full restaurant meal included. Snacks and drinks are covered, but breakfast, lunch, or dinner must be requested and paid for separately.

Small details that make the day easier

Bring sunscreen and reapply it often. Time on the water can make the sun feel less intense than it is, while the open deck gives you little escape from it.

A hat and towel are listed essentials. Wear practical beachwear and bring a dry layer if you tend to feel cool after swimming, though the company does not specify what clothing is provided on board.

Tell Daiza Charter what you hope to do before the trip. If fishing is your priority, say so. If your group wants snorkeling and a beach stop, mention that too. The custom format works best when the crew knows your preferences in advance.

Keep the weather in mind when planning the rest of your day. Since sea conditions can change the excursion, avoid booking an important appointment immediately afterward. The company offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure and allows you to reserve now and pay later, which gives you some useful flexibility.

Should you book the Daiza Charter yacht?

Book it if you have a group large enough to share the cost and want a private day that mixes swimming, snorkeling, fishing, paddling, snacks, and coastline views. The boat, equipment, refreshments, multilingual crew, and flexible plan make it a strong option for a relaxed celebration or a family day at sea.

Think twice if you are traveling as a couple, watching every euro, or looking for a dedicated fishing charter. Confirm the departure marina, ask about the best time for a sunset, and request any full meal or Seamaster Dinghy activity before you pay.

For the right group, the appeal is simple: five hours on Lanzarote’s Atlantic coast, with the freedom to decide how much time you spend in the water and how much time you spend enjoying the boat.
