Itinerary
Day 1
Private yacht cruise along Lanzarote's south coast visiting the Papagayo coves with onboard gourmet BBQ, water activities and relaxed anchoring. Designed for privacy and unhurried pacing.
Meeting and boarding at Puerto Deportivo Marina Rubicón
Meet at Puerto Deportivo Marina Rubicón for check-in, boarding, safety briefing and the welcome bottle of chilled French champagne. Crew will confirm itinerary, safety procedures and available on-board amenities (toilet, outdoor shower, USB and 230 VAC outlets).
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 15–20 minutes before the scheduled departure to allow time for parking and check-in at the marina office.
- Paid parking is available in Marina Rubicón (discount for guests); there is also public parking a short walk away — keep small change or card for ticket machines.
- Shoes are not allowed on deck; bring easy slip-on shoes for arrival and a small bag to store them before boarding.
Sail past San Marcial (Castillo de Las Coloradas)
Coastal passage by the volcanic cliff fortress historically known as San Marcial / Castillo de Las Coloradas. This is primarily a scenic, pass-by stop to admire the volcanic coastline from the vessel.
Tips from local experts:
- Keep cameras ready for cliff and castle views; the best photographs are taken from the yacht's foredeck with polarising sunglasses.
- This is a pass-by viewpoint only—there is no scheduled disembark; remain seated or hold the rail while the boat is moving.
- There is minimal shade; apply sunscreen and wear a hat during the short viewing stop.
Scenic stop at Las Coloradas Beach (pass-by and short anchorage)
Brief scenic anchorage near Las Coloradas to view the reddish volcanic cliffs and the dark-sand cove. Opportunity to photograph and enjoy a short swim from the yacht if conditions permit.
Tips from local experts:
- If you plan to swim, have swimwear on under a light cover-up to save time; the crew will lower the platform for entry.
- Use the yacht's provided dry bags or waterproof pouches for phones and personal items while swimming.
- Observe the crew's guidance about anchoring location — Las Coloradas is a natural area and mooring positions are chosen to minimise impact.
View and short anchorage at Playa Mujeres
Approach the large crescent of Playa Mujeres. From the yacht you can choose to anchor offshore for swimming, snorkeling or paddle surf; the crew will brief on water-activity options.
Tips from local experts:
- Playa Mujeres can be busier from land—by boat you’ll find quieter anchoring spots; follow the crew’s instructions when entering/exiting the water.
- Wear reef-safe sunscreen to protect the marine environment; the crew can recommend the calmest sheltered spots for snorkeling.
- Store valuables in the yacht's locker and use the ladder/handholds to enter and exit water safely; the crew supervises all water entries.
Sheltered stop at El Pozo Beach
Short anchorage at a more intimate cove (El Pozo) sheltered by cliffs. Ideal for calm-water snorkeling and a short peaceful swim.
Tips from local experts:
- El Pozo is sheltered and calm—ideal for snorkelling; use provided fins and masks, and rinse equipment at the on-deck shower after use.
- Follow the crew’s briefing on depths and currents; stay close to the ladder when reboarding.
- Keep noise low to enjoy the secluded atmosphere and avoid disturbing other small boats or swimmers.
Short stop at La Cera Beach
Anchor at the small cove of La Cera — a postcard-like, intimate beach perfect for snorkeling and relaxing in turquoise water.
Tips from local experts:
- La Cera is small and intimate; the crew will manoeuvre the yacht to a comfortable anchorage — avoid attempting to go ashore unless instructed.
- Rinse off sand and salt at the yacht’s outdoor shower before returning to seating areas to keep the deck comfortable.
- If you prefer shade, choose a protected spot under the bimini; the crew can help position cushions for a couple’s seating area.
Main anchorage at Playa de Papagayo — BBQ lunch, swim and water activities
Extended anchorage at the iconic Playa de Papagayo: swim, snorkel, paddle surf or relax on the floating solarium while the crew prepares the Ninja woodfire gourmet BBQ (grilled free‑range chicken, seasonal salad, wrinkled potatoes and canarian mojos). This is the central, unhurried part of the experience and the 'special moment' for couples to enjoy a private meal and champagne together.
Tips from local experts:
- For best photos and comfort, swim first then change onboard before the BBQ; the crew provides fresh towels and the outdoor shower.
- Use biodegradable sunscreen and avoid touching reef or marine life to protect the reserve around Papagayo.
- If you want a quieter spot for two, ask the crew to position cushions on the foredeck or floating solarium — they can set up a private seating area for a toast.
Return sail to Puerto Deportivo Marina Rubicón and disembark
Relaxing sail back along the south coast to Marina Rubicón. On arrival the crew will assist with disembarkation and final check of personal items.
Tips from local experts:
- Collect all personal items from cabins and lockers before disembarkation; check with the crew for any items left on deck or in wet lockers.
- Expect a formal docking process: follow the crew’s instructions for safe step-off and keep hold of handrails during final approach.
- If you parked at Marina Rubicón, allow a few minutes to reach your car; public transport and taxi ranks are a short walk from the marina entrance.
