Private Catamaran trips to Lobos Island in Lagoon 400

The best part of this outing is the freedom of having a private Lagoon 400 catamaran rather than sharing a fixed boat with strangers. From Corralejo, you can spend your time at sea around Lobos Island, choosing how long to stay out and how much time to give swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and paddleboarding.

I like the generous water-sports setup, with two paddleboards, single and double kayaks, and snorkeling gear included. I also like the relaxed food policy: bring your own meal and use the tableware, or arrange lunch from one of two menus. The main drawback is the price, which is steep for a small group unless you fill all four spaces and make good use of the private format.

Key points to know before you book

Private Catamaran trips to Lobos Island in Lagoon 400 - Key points to know before you book

  • A Lagoon 400 gives you a stable, spacious boat: This is a better fit for comfort and group time than for a bare-bones sailing trip.
  • Your group controls the pace: The outing can last about four to eight hours, with the itinerary adjusted to your wishes.
  • Water activities are included: You get snorkeling equipment, two paddleboards, two single kayaks, and two double kayaks.
  • Corralejo pickup is available: Free pickup can be arranged from selected points in the Corralejo area.
  • Food is flexible: Bring your own food, order an optional lunch, or request a separate quote for other food and drinks.
  • The service is personal: Frank and Pierre are named as friendly, helpful hosts, and free underwater photographs are included.

Sailing out from Corralejo on a Lagoon 400

Your day begins in Corralejo, a practical base for a boat trip toward Lobos Island. The meeting point is Fuerteventura Dune Buggy Tours on Avenida Juan Carlos I, number 74. If you are staying in Corralejo, free pickup is available, with the exact point confirmed after you provide your accommodation details.

The boat itself is a Lagoon 400 catamaran. Catamarans have two hulls, which generally means a steadier platform than a narrow single-hull boat. That matters if your group includes people who do not spend much time on boats, or if you want room to sit, eat, and talk between swims.

The operator uses Lagoon catamarans, described as a top brand with a focus on stability and comfort. You should not expect a rough-and-ready excursion boat. This is set up for a private celebration, a romantic day, a birthday, or a group outing where the boat is part of the occasion.

The private format also changes the feel of the day. You are not working around a large group’s schedule or waiting for everyone to finish an activity. If one person wants to snorkel while another prefers a paddleboard, the group can use the time in a more relaxed way.

Lobos Island with room to set your own pace

Private Catamaran trips to Lobos Island in Lagoon 400 - Lobos Island with room to set your own pace

Lobos Island is the main destination named for the experience. The supplied details do not promise a fixed list of landing points or a precise route around the island, so your exact sailing plan should be confirmed with the crew. The useful point is that the itinerary is adjustable rather than locked into one short stop.

The trip is offered for roughly four to eight hours, while the listed activity duration is four hours. Treat four hours as the firmest reference point and ask the operator about longer options before you pay. If you want a full day on the water, confirm the available departure time, extra cost, and exact schedule.

A shorter outing can work well if you mainly want a boat ride, a swim, and a little snorkeling. The longer option makes more sense if you want time for several activities without rushing from one to the next.

The private boat also gives you a useful choice about the day’s rhythm. You can spend more time sitting together with drinks, or use the equipment for a more active outing. That flexibility is the real reason to choose this over a standard group cruise.

Snorkeling, kayaking, and paddleboarding included

Private Catamaran trips to Lobos Island in Lagoon 400 - Snorkeling, kayaking, and paddleboarding included

The water activities are a strong part of the package. You receive snorkeling equipment, two paddleboards, two single kayaks, and two double kayaks. That gives a group of four several ways to use the water without paying separately for each activity.

The double kayaks are especially useful for a small group that wants to stay together. The single kayaks offer a little more independence, while the paddleboards give you another easy way to explore the water near the boat. You will need to share equipment if everyone wants the same activity at once, but the selection is generous for four people.

Snorkeling equipment is included, and the experience also provides underwater photographs. These photos can be a nice extra because you do not have to spend the whole swim trying to manage a phone or camera. Ask the crew how and when the images will be delivered, since that detail is not specified.

The practical limitation is that sea conditions affect water activities. The operator can provide the equipment, but the amount of time you spend snorkeling, kayaking, or paddleboarding depends on weather and local conditions. If one activity matters most to you, say so early in the day.

Food, drinks, and the practical value of a private charter

Drinks included in the trip are soft drinks, beer, white and red wine, water, coffee, and tea. That is a useful spread for a half-day outing, especially if you do not want to organize every drink yourself.

Food works differently. You can bring your own meal, and the catamaran has tableware for it. You can also order lunch as an extra from one of two à la carte menus. If you want different food or drinks, the operator can provide a separate quote.

This is a good arrangement for a group with mixed tastes. Bringing your own food may keep costs under control, while an arranged lunch makes the day easier if you prefer not to shop or pack. Ask for menu prices before departure so the final cost does not surprise you.

The private price is $905.09 for up to four people. Split four ways, that is about $226.27 per person before any optional extras. That is a substantial price for a four-hour outing, but it covers the boat for your group rather than a seat on a shared cruise. The value improves if you want privacy, flexibility, water sports, drinks, and a special occasion all in one booking.

For only one or two people, the cost per person becomes much harder to justify. For four friends or a family marking a birthday, the calculation is more favorable. The included kayaks, paddleboards, photos, drinks, and hotel transfer in Corralejo also reduce the need for several add-on purchases.

A good choice for celebrations and small groups

Private Catamaran trips to Lobos Island in Lagoon 400 - A good choice for celebrations and small groups

The boat is described as suitable for romantic outings and larger celebrations such as birthdays, stag parties, and hen parties. With a maximum booking size of four, larger celebrations would need clarification from the operator, so do not assume a whole party can fit under one booking.

For a birthday, the private setting gives you control over the food and schedule. You can bring a meal, order one, and spend the day moving between swimming and time aboard. The supplied feedback includes a birthday outing where Frank and Pierre were praised for being friendly and helpful, which points to a service style suited to a personal celebration.

For a couple, the catamaran offers plenty of space, but the price is harder to defend unless privacy is the main goal. A couple celebrating something special may value the quiet setting, included drinks, and flexible route more than a budget-minded pair would.

For families, the private format can be easier than a shared boat because your group does not need to match another group’s timetable. Children must be accompanied by an adult. The available information says most people can participate, but it does not give specific age limits or swimming requirements, so ask about those if they matter to you.

What the crew adds to the day

Private Catamaran trips to Lobos Island in Lagoon 400 - What the crew adds to the day

Frank and Pierre are the named hosts associated with the experience. The feedback provided describes them as friendly, helpful, and central to a successful birthday outing. Another note praises the snorkeling experience and the two men who ran the trip.

That personal service matters more on a private charter than on a large cruise. You are paying partly for the crew’s attention and ability to shape the day around your group. Still, the exact crew can vary, so treat Frank and Pierre as the named hosts connected with the available feedback rather than a guaranteed pairing for every date.

The underwater photographs are another thoughtful touch. They help preserve the snorkeling part of the day, which can otherwise be difficult to document. Since the photo delivery process is not explained, confirm whether you receive digital files and when.

Timing, pickup, and what to confirm

Private Catamaran trips to Lobos Island in Lagoon 400 - Timing, pickup, and what to confirm

The experience is offered in English. Confirmation is sent within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability, and the activity is typically booked about 25 days ahead. If your holiday dates are fixed, booking early is sensible.

Corralejo pickup is free, but only in the Corralejo area. The operator confirms the pickup point after receiving your accommodation information. If you stay elsewhere on Fuerteventura, you should plan to reach the meeting point yourself and allow time to find Avenida Juan Carlos I, number 74.

The activity ends back at the meeting point. That makes the day easier to plan around a Corralejo hotel, but it also means you should not arrange a later activity at another part of the island without leaving a generous buffer.

Before booking, I would confirm four things:

  • Whether your chosen date offers four hours or a longer eight-hour option
  • The exact sailing route and time spent near Lobos Island
  • The price of optional lunch and any special food requests
  • How the underwater photographs will be delivered

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes made inside that window are not accepted, and late cancellations are not refunded.

Who should book this catamaran trip

I would choose this for four people who want the boat to be the main event, not just transport to a short swim stop. It suits a birthday, a small celebration, a private family outing, or friends who want several hours together without a large group around them.

It is also a good match if you value choice. You can bring food, arrange lunch, use several kinds of water equipment, and decide how active the day feels. The included drinks and pickup in Corralejo make the planning simpler.

I would hesitate if your main goal is the lowest-cost way to see the water. At $905.09 per group, this is a premium private outing. It is also less suitable if you need a very detailed, fixed itinerary in advance, because the route and timing are designed to be customized.

The rating of 4.9 from 78 reviews and the 99 percent recommendation figure suggest a consistently strong experience, with the crew’s friendliness and the snorkeling outing receiving particular praise. Those figures cannot remove the price concern, but they do support the idea that the service is a major part of what you are buying.

Should you book the Lagoon 400 to Lobos Island?

Book it if you can fill the four places, want privacy, and will use the water equipment and flexible timing. The included drinks, kayaks, paddleboards, snorkeling gear, underwater photos, and Corralejo pickup give the price more substance than a simple boat ride.

Skip it if you are traveling as one or two people on a tight budget, or if you only want a short trip with a fixed sightseeing route. For a small celebration or a full half-day built around the sea, though, this private Lagoon 400 charter offers a comfortable and personal way to spend time around Lobos Island.
