About this experience
There are few better ways to end a day in Gran Canaria than watching the sun go down from the deck of a boat. Because the south-west coast faces the open Atlantic to the west, the sunsets here are spectacular, and from the water you see them without a single building in the way.
The cruise sets off in the hours before sunset and sails along the coast, past volcanic cliffs, hidden coves and rock formations that turn gold and orange as the light drops. This side of the island lies in the lee of the trade winds, so the sea is usually calmer here, which makes for smooth, unhurried sailing.
On board there are drinks, including cava, wine, soft drinks and water, background music to set the mood, and an optional swim stop in calm water before the sun goes down, all looked after by an attentive crew. Because the time of sunset changes through the year, the departure time changes with it: we confirm the exact time when you book, so you are always at sea for the best moment.
It is one of the experiences couples ask for most, and it works just as well for anniversaries, proposals, small celebrations or simply a memorable last evening of your holiday. This is a quote request: tell us your preferred date and group size, and anything special you are planning, and we will send you a proposal. Nothing is charged and nothing is booked until you accept it.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a booking?
Nothing. Sending the form is a quote request, not a booking: there is no charge and no place is held. We reply with a tailored proposal, and only if you accept it do we confirm the date and explain how to pay.
What time does it leave?
It depends on the time of sunset, which changes through the year. We confirm the exact departure time with your quote.
Where do we meet?
We sail from the marina at Puerto de Mogán, in the south-west of Gran Canaria. The exact pontoon goes in your confirmation.
Can children come?
Yes, it is a calm activity suitable for all ages, and there are soft drinks on board. Tell us the children’s ages in your request.
Can we plan a proposal or anniversary?
Yes, it is one of the experiences couples ask for most. Tell us what you have in mind in your request and we will include it in the quote.
How many people can come?
Tell us your group size in the request and we will confirm it in the quote.
What if the weather is bad?
Every trip depends on the sea. If the skipper decides conditions are not safe, we offer you a new date or cancel at no cost: you pay nothing until the day. We let you know by phone as soon as we know, sometimes the same morning.
