Exclusive Sailing Catamaran Experience to Lobos Island with lunch

Set sail for a quieter side of Fuerteventura. This four-hour catamaran trip from Corralejo combines coastal views, a stop near Lobos Island, water activities, paella, fruit, and drinks in one easy half-day outing. I like the small-boat feel promised by the 12-person setup, and I like that snorkeling gear, kayaks, and paddleboards are included rather than offered as costly extras.

The main point to check before booking is group size. The promotional description says the catamaran is capped at 12 people, but the additional booking information allows as many as 21 participants. That difference matters if you are paying for a private, relaxed experience. The boat also may motor rather than sail, and you cannot disembark on Lobos Island.

Key Points About the Lobos Catamaran Trip

• Four hours from Corralejo: The tour leaves from the Oby Catamaran meeting point at the town’s marina and returns there.
• Anchored near Lobos Island: You get views of the island and time on the water, but landing on Lobos is not authorized.
• Water activities included: Snorkeling equipment, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards are provided.
• Paella and fruit on board: Lunch includes paella and fresh fruit, with wine, beer, water, soft drinks, and soda available.
• A friendly two-person crew: Nico is named in several positive accounts, along with a skipper who helps guests use the equipment.
• Group-size caution: The experience is advertised in one place for 12 people, while the formal maximum is 21.

Leaving Corralejo for Lobos Island

Your trip begins at Muelle Deportivo in Corralejo, at the Oby Catamaran meeting point. There are no transfers included, so you need to make your own way to the marina. The location is near public transportation, which makes it reasonably practical if you are staying in Corralejo without a car.

The outing lasts about four hours. That is long enough to feel like a proper boat trip without taking over your whole day. You can pair it with a morning on the beach or leave the rest of the afternoon open for Corralejo.

The boat offers different places to sit, including areas for relaxing and drying off after swimming. Positive accounts describe a clean catamaran and an attentive crew. Nico is specifically praised for helping with activities, explaining the surroundings, and keeping drinks available.

Still, keep your expectations in check. This is not necessarily a full afternoon of sailing under open canvas. Some departures have traveled by motor, even when the wind was suitable. One account said the sail was not used because the mainsail was damaged, while another criticized the amount of time spent anchored rather than sailing.

That is important if your dream is to spend four hours gliding along the coast. The more reliable description is a catamaran cruise with a long swimming and activity stop, not a dedicated sailing lesson or continuous sailing voyage.

The View Toward Lobos Island

The main stop is in the waters around Isla de Lobos, just off the coast of Fuerteventura. The boat anchors for about an hour and a half, giving you time to swim, snorkel, kayak, and use a stand-up paddleboard.

You do not get to step ashore. Disembarking on Lobos Island is not authorized, so the island remains a backdrop rather than a walking destination. If you want to hike Lobos or explore its beaches on foot, you need a separate boat service or excursion that permits landing.

From the water, the appeal is simple. You get a different view of Fuerteventura’s coast, with the island setting a clear destination for the cruise. The surroundings also provide a pleasant place to pause, especially on a calm, sunny day.

The stop is best understood as an active swimming break. You might spend part of the time floating, then switch to a kayak or paddleboard. If you prefer to stay dry, the catamaran offers space to sit, sunbathe, and watch the activity around you.

One criticism is that the boat may anchor among other vessels, which can reduce the feeling of privacy and limit the view. The experience is not sold as a remote expedition. Around Lobos, you may share the water with other boats, especially when conditions are good.

Snorkeling, Kayaking, and Paddleboarding

The included equipment gives this trip much of its value. You do not need to arrange separate rentals for snorkeling gear, a kayak, or a stand-up paddleboard. The crew can help you get started, which is useful if you have never tried one of the activities.

Snorkeling is likely the simplest choice. You can enter the water, look around below the surface, and return to the boat when you are ready. The available information does not promise particular marine life or underwater sights, so it is wise to treat snorkeling as a pleasant chance to see the clear water rather than a guaranteed wildlife encounter.

Kayaking offers a more active way to view the cove. A paddleboard gives you another option if you want to test your balance or simply move away from the boat for a short time. The crew is described as helpful and attentive, which should make the equipment easier to use.

The activities also make the trip suitable for mixed groups. One person can swim, another can paddle, and someone else can remain on deck with a drink. Families, couples, solo customers, and friends can all find their own pace.

There are limits. A one-star account complained that the trip stopped for more than three hours after only a short period of sailing. That description conflicts with the stated hour and a half anchorage, but it points to a useful planning detail: the tour’s heart is the stationary water stop. Choose it for time in and around the sea, not for constant movement.

Paella, Fruit, and Drinks on Deck

Lunch is included, and the usual meal is paella followed by fresh fruit. Several positive accounts praise the food, with one describing the paella as delicious and another highlighting the meal alongside the view.

The drinks package includes wine, beer, water, and soft drinks throughout the trip. That can add real value at a price of $84.33 per person, especially since you are also getting the boat ride and water equipment. A small digestif has even been offered at the end on at least one departure, though you should not treat that as a guaranteed inclusion.

The meal is served aboard the catamaran, not at a restaurant. That means simple portions and casual service. One very positive account describes the food as part of an especially enjoyable afternoon, while a French-language account found the paella portions too small. Both reactions are possible depending on appetite and expectations.

Dietary needs require care. A guest who did not eat fish or meat reported receiving salad and bread rather than a proper alternative. The supplied information does not promise vegetarian, vegan, or allergy-friendly substitutions. If you have dietary restrictions, contact Tour2b before booking and ask for a clear answer. Do not assume that mentioning it casually will result in a full replacement meal.

Drinks are served in small plastic cups, according to one unhappy account. That is not unusual on a moving boat, but it may feel less polished if you are expecting a luxury yachting service. I would view the refreshments as convenient and generous rather than high-end.

Is the Boat Really Limited to 12 People?

This is the most important issue to clarify. The experience is promoted as a catamaran trip capped at 12 participants, and several positive accounts praise the comfort of having only 12 people aboard. That smaller number gives you more room to sit, move around, and use the equipment without a long wait.

At the same time, the formal additional information gives a maximum of 21 participants. That is a major difference. A boat with 12 people can feel personal, while a boat with 21 can feel noticeably busier, especially when everyone wants to eat, swim, or collect equipment at the same time.

The safest approach is to ask the operator directly before paying: What is the confirmed group size for this departure? You should also confirm the exact meeting point, since one Spanish-language account described confusion about where the boat was located and had to ask several questions.

If the 12-person limit is confirmed, the price looks stronger. If the group may reach 21, compare it with other Corralejo boat trips and decide how much personal space matters to you.

What the $84.33 Price Delivers

At $84.33 per person, this is not the cheapest way to see the water around Fuerteventura. The price includes a four-hour outing, lunch, fresh fruit, drinks, snorkeling equipment, a kayak, and a stand-up paddleboard. You are paying for a package rather than a basic ferry ride.

The value is best when you use the inclusions. If you plan to swim, snorkel, paddle, and eat aboard the boat, the price is easier to justify. The drinks also reduce the need to carry your own supplies, and the four-hour length gives the trip enough time to feel worthwhile.

The value falls if you mainly want a scenic sailing cruise. The boat may use its motor instead of sails, and you may spend much of the outing anchored near other boats. You also cannot land on Lobos Island, so the trip does not replace a walking visit.

The most accurate label is an all-inclusive water activity session with a coastal cruise. That is a good deal for an active afternoon, but less compelling for someone seeking polished luxury or serious sailing.

Who Will Enjoy This Most?

I would recommend this trip to you if you want a relaxed way to combine several activities. You can swim, snorkel, kayak, paddleboard, eat lunch, and enjoy drinks without arranging each part yourself.

It also suits couples and families who prefer a simple schedule. The crew is described as welcoming and entertaining, and the available activities let people choose different levels of effort. One person can paddle while another stays on deck.

Solo customers can fit in well too, particularly if you enjoy joining a small group for a shared activity. The social side of a catamaran is part of the appeal.

You may want another excursion if you need a special diet, strongly prefer a quiet boat, or care most about sailing under wind power. You should also reconsider if walking on Lobos Island is essential to your plans.

Weather, Cancellation, and Practical Details

The experience depends on good weather. If poor conditions cause cancellation, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. The same applies if the minimum number of participants is not reached.

For your own cancellation, you can receive a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside that window are not accepted for a refund.

Confirmation is provided at booking, and the tour is offered in English. Most people can participate, but the supplied information does not give detailed accessibility guidance. If you have mobility needs or concerns about boarding a catamaran, ask the operator before booking.

The experience ends back at the same marina meeting point. Since transfers are not included, plan your route to Muelle Deportivo in Corralejo and leave enough time to locate the boat.

Should You Book the Lobos Catamaran Experience?

Book it if you want a four-hour, activity-filled boat outing with lunch and drinks included. The water sports, friendly crew, clean boat, and simple all-in-one format earn this experience its strong overall rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 25 ratings.

Before booking, confirm three things: the actual group size, whether the sails will be used, and what food is available for your diet. Those answers will tell you if the trip matches your expectations.

My verdict is positive but practical. This is a good choice for swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking, and a casual paella lunch near Lobos Island. It is not the right choice if you expect a private yacht, guaranteed sailing, a quiet anchorage, or time ashore on the island.
