Private Catamaran trips to Lobos Island in Lagoon 400
Book on Viator →Operated by FuerteCharter · Bookable on Viator
Private days on the water beat the usual day trips. This Lobos Island cruise on a Lagoon 400 is interesting because you control the time (4 to 8 hours) and you get real water-play gear built into the package. I like the included drinks and I like that you can bring your own food onboard; one consideration is that it’s priced per group up to four, so you’ll want to fill the seats to feel the value.
From Corralejo, this is a private setup with your group only, and the boat brand is chosen for comfort and stability—good news when you’re planning snorkeling, swimming, and kayaking. You’ll also get a mix of activities instead of one quick stop. If you want a crowded, rushed “check-the-box” outing, this probably isn’t your style.
The practical side matters too: pickup is available in the Corralejo area, and you’ll meet at Fuerteventura Dune Buggy Tours in Corralejo if you’re not using pickup. Add in the underwater photos and souvenir photos, and you’re not left scrambling to remember the day on a phone battery that’s running low.

Key highlights on this Lagoon 400 Lobos Island private trip

- Private catamaran time you can shape: choose your length (about 4 to 8 hours) and tailor the day
- Water activities are really included: trolling/snorkeling, paddle boards, and kayaks (single and double options)
- Drinks onboard are part of the deal: soft drinks, beer, wine (white and red), water, plus coffee and tea
- Food flexibility: bring your own meal with onboard tableware, or add lunch from an à la carte menu
- Photo extras: underwater photographs plus free souvenir photos help you bring Lobos home
Why a private Lagoon 400 to Lobos feels like the right kind of upgrade

This is the kind of outing that makes sense if you care about time. With a private catamaran, you’re not waiting around while other groups finish something on land. Instead, you’re using the boat day for the stuff you came for: Lobos Island and the water around it.
I also like that the boat choice is intentional. Lagoon is a top brand, and the Lagoon 400 is designed to be stable and comfortable. That matters because snorkeling and kayaking are easier when you’re not constantly bracing yourself. It’s not just about “getting out on the water.” It’s about doing multiple water activities without feeling like the trip is one long compromise.
The second big win is how the package is built. You get activity gear (paddle boards and kayaks) plus drinks, plus photo coverage. That combination makes the day feel more complete. You’re not thinking, Can I rent everything last minute? You’re already set up for a full session in the water.
One more practical upside: this is private. Only your group participates. If you’re celebrating—birthdays, stag/hen parties, or a romantic outing—having the space to yourselves changes the vibe fast.

Corralejo start: boarding day without the usual scramble

Your day typically starts back in Corralejo, with the meeting point at Fuerteventura Dune Buggy Tours (Av. Juan Carlos I, 74). If you’re staying in the Corralejo area, pickup is offered in designated pickup zones, and the exact pickup point gets confirmed after you share your accommodation details.
I like this setup because it keeps you from adding extra stress. When the meeting point is in the same town you’re likely already exploring, you can treat the day like a plan, not a logistical puzzle. Also, it’s noted to be near public transportation, so even if you’re not using pickup, you should be able to get there without drama.
After you arrive, the catamaran experience is mostly about settling in. Since you’re on a comfortable stable platform, you’re not just staring at the sea—you’re getting ready for snorkeling, kayaking, and swimming. The flow is simple: you get onboard, you get oriented, then you use the time for water.
If you’re bringing your own food, this is also a good moment to think about how you want to handle it. You’ll have tableware on board, so you don’t need to pack your own dishes like you’re doing backyard camping. (Still, you’ll want your own basic items like napkins and anything you normally use for drinks, unless you’ve got a plan for that.)
Lobos Island time: snorkeling, swimming, and kayaking at your pace
The heart of the trip is time around Lobos Island with water activities. This is not a “step off the boat, walk two minutes, step back on” kind of day. You’re set up for several ways to enjoy the water: snorkeling, swimming, and paddling.
Here’s what you can expect from the included activity setup:
- Snorkeling is built in with trolling/snorkeling included. That’s a helpful pairing because it suggests the day is organized around being in the water, not just floating and hoping you see something interesting.
- Kayaks are included in both single and double options, so you can split roles. If you’ve got different comfort levels in your group, it’s easier to match someone up to a single kayak while others go together in a double.
- Paddle boards are included (two paddle boards). If your group likes to balance on calm water, you can rotate activity without needing to book extra gear.
You’ll also be able to swim. That sounds obvious, but on some boat tours, swimming is a quick dip with no real setup. Here, the tour is clearly aimed at doing water time properly, then doing it again with a different activity.
I also like the fact that you’re getting photo support while you’re doing these activities. Underwater photos and souvenir photos matter because Lobos is the kind of place where the best moments happen fast—right when you’re finally relaxed in the water.
Potential drawback? If your idea of a perfect day is mostly land walking, you may find this tour is more water-focused than you expected. The package emphasizes time in the water and on the paddling gear, so plan accordingly.
What’s included (and how it saves you money day-of)
On paper, private charters can look expensive. This one makes more sense when you look at what’s already included.
Included in your trip:
- Hotel transfer (only the Corralejo area)
- Trolling/snorkeling
- 2 paddle boards
- Kayaks: both 2 single kayaks and 2 double kayaks
- Underwater photographs
- Drinks: soft drinks, beer, white and red wine, water, coffee, and tea
- Free souvenir photographs
- Admission Ticket Free (as noted)
Why this matters for you: a lot of day boat trips charge extra for gear or for basics like drinks. Here, you’re not stuck deciding whether it’s worth paying for an activity add-on or bringing your own cooler like you’re hosting a beach picnic.
The photo inclusions are another underrated value. If you’ve ever spent vacation time worrying about your phone being sealed, charged, or in the wrong pocket, you know how annoying that is. Underwater photos mean someone is capturing the moments while you’re focused on actually doing the snorkeling and paddling.
One more practical angle: with both single and double kayaks plus paddle boards, you get options even if your group has mixed comfort levels. You can change activities without the day turning into one person waiting around.
Food and drink: bring a picnic or add a real lunch

One of the nicest touches here is food flexibility. You can bring your own food onboard because the catamaran is equipped with tableware. That’s great if you want to control what you eat—especially if someone in your group has dietary needs.
If you prefer to skip the prep, you can order lunch as an extra using one of two à la carte menus. They’ll also quote you if you want different drinks or other food items onboard.
Here’s how I’d think about it as a traveler: if you’re the type who likes to wander a market and assemble snacks, bring your own food and treat it like your Lobos picnic day. If you’d rather keep things simple, just choose the lunch option and let the crew handle the timing.
Either way, the included drinks help your decision. You’ll already have soft drinks, beer, wine, water, and coffee/tea. So even if you don’t add lunch, you’re not stuck with a dry boat-day.
Timing and itinerary control: choosing 4 to 8 hours without overthinking it

This trip runs about 4 to 8 hours, and it’s described as customizable. That’s a big deal because Lobos Island time can feel different depending on whether you want a shorter burst of snorkeling and paddling or a longer day where you rotate between activities.
If you’re booking a shorter option (around 4 hours), you’ll want to prioritize. Pick what matters most: snorkeling first, then paddling. The advantage is you keep the day flexible. You can still have time for Corralejo afterward.
For a longer day (moving toward 8 hours), you’ll have time to slow down and do more than one full water cycle. That’s when paddle boarding and kayak rotation feel more relaxed instead of rushed. With drinks included, longer stays also mean you’ll actually enjoy the boat ride time, not just endure it to reach the water.
The key is to match the schedule to your group energy level. If everyone’s active and excited about being in the water, longer is usually better. If your group has mixed stamina or you’re traveling with someone who gets tired in the sun, a shorter schedule may feel more comfortable.
Who this private Lobos catamaran is best for

This is a solid fit if you want privacy, water time, and flexibility in one package.
It especially suits:
- Romantic outings where you want calmer pacing and comfort on a stable catamaran
- Celebrations like birthdays or stag/hen parties, where the extra space and private setting make the day feel special
- Friend groups or small families up to four, since the tour is private and sized for your group
- Active travelers who actually plan to use snorkeling gear, kayaks, and paddle boards
One note for families: children must be accompanied by an adult. If you’re bringing kids, make sure the adult is comfortable handling the day’s water activities alongside them.
Also, the tour is offered in English, so it’s a good match if that’s your preferred language. If you want clear instructions for snorkeling and paddling gear use, having the guide in English is a plus.
Price and value: $905.09 for up to four (what you get back)
The price is listed as $905.09 per group, up to 4 people. That’s private-catamaran pricing, so yes, it’s not “cheap.” But it also isn’t just paying for a boat.
If you fill the group cap of four, you’re effectively looking at about $226 per person for a multi-hour private Lobos outing. That sounds much more reasonable when you factor in what’s included:
- multiple water activity tools (paddle boards and kayaks, plus snorkeling),
- drinks throughout the day,
- underwater and souvenir photo coverage,
- and possible Corralejo pickup.
That’s why I think this can feel like good value for the right group: you’re buying convenience, equipment, and “less hassle” all in one go. You’re not trying to assemble a day from separate rentals and separate costs.
If you’re only two people and you’re considering splitting the difference, the price may feel heavy. In that case, it can still be worth it if your group really values privacy and wants to use the boat time heavily. But if you’re chasing the lowest cost possible, you’ll probably find other options.
Practical tips so your Lobos day goes smoothly
Here are the small things that make a difference on a sea day like this:
- Think about your activity order: start with snorkeling if you want that first memory to be the best. Then rotate to kayaking or paddle boarding once you’re warmed up.
- Bring what you need for food handling: tableware is provided onboard, but you still need your own basics like napkins and anything you need for a picnic-style meal.
- Use the included photos as part of the plan: if you’re going to snorkel, do it when you’re ready—your best results are when you’re calm and focused.
- Use pickup if it saves you time: pickup is offered only in the Corralejo area and confirmed after you share accommodation info. If you’d rather not manage transport, it’s usually worth it.
- Plan for sun and salt: even if the boat is comfortable, you’ll still be outside. Bring sun protection and anything you normally use for salt-water exposure.
- Confirm timing after booking: confirmation is received within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. If your schedule is tight, you’ll feel better once you have that confirmation.
Also, keep in mind that the day is private and your group is the only group onboard. That’s great, but it also means you should coordinate simple choices with your group ahead of time—like who wants single kayaks vs double kayaks.
Should you book this private Lagoon 400 Lobos trip?
If you want a private day on the water with snorkeling, kayaks, paddle boards, drinks, and photos already included, I’d say this is an easy yes—especially for groups that can use the four-person capacity. The value improves fast when you compare what you’re getting versus paying for rentals and food separately.
Book it if:
- you care about flexibility and want to choose a 4 to 8 hour duration,
- you’d actually use the water gear (not just watch from the boat),
- and you want Corralejo pickup or at least an easy local meeting point.
Skip it if:
- your top priority is mostly land time and walking,
- or you’re traveling as just one or two people and you don’t want to pay for the whole private group size.
