Afternoon Cruise – No Alarm Clock Needed!

Only available from June to October.

Slow Mornings, Sunny Afternoons & Unforgettable Moments at Sea

You’re on holiday. Why set an alarm?

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast, take your time over a morning coffee, have a wander or simply relax by the pool. There’s no need to rush, because your Afrikat adventure begins in the afternoon!

Our Afternoon Cruise is all about making the most of Gran Canaria’s beautiful long summer days. Think warm sunshine, spectacular coastal scenery, refreshing drinks and plenty of time to relax, laugh and enjoy life aboard our beautiful motorised catamaran.

Whether you’re joining us with family, friends or someone special, it’s the perfect way to turn an ordinary holiday afternoon into a wonderful memory.

And there’s even more to look forward to on Tuesdays and Fridays, when our resident saxophonist, Ash Sax, joins us with live music on board!

Your Afternoon, Your Afrikat Experience

Step aboard Afrikat at Puerto Base in Puerto Rico, where our friendly crew will be waiting to welcome you.

Leave the busy resort behind as we cruise along Gran Canaria’s spectacular southwest coastline, discovering golden beaches, hidden coves and dramatic volcanic cliffs from a completely different perspective.

Enjoy the beautiful views as we pass the picturesque fishing village of Puerto de Mogán, affectionately known as Little Venice, before continuing towards the sheltered bay of El Perchel.

There’s no rushing, no busy timetable to worry about and certainly no early morning start.

Just the Atlantic Ocean, the Canarian sunshine and the freedom to enjoy your afternoon exactly as you please.

Live Saxophone with Ash – Tuesdays & Fridays

There’s something very special about live music on the ocean.

Every Tuesday and Friday afternoon, our resident saxophonist Ash Sax brings her wonderful music and personality aboard Afrikat.

Imagine relaxing with a refreshing drink, enjoying the coastal views and listening to the beautiful sound of live saxophone drifting across the Atlantic.

Whether you’re spending time with friends, enjoying a romantic afternoon or simply soaking up the holiday atmosphere, Ash adds that extra touch of magic to your experience.

It’s sunshine, music and good company — the Afrikat way!

Swim, Explore or Simply Relax

When we reach the calm waters of El Perchel, we drop anchor and the afternoon is yours to enjoy.

Take a refreshing dip in the clear Atlantic waters, discover the marine life beneath the surface or simply enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Feeling adventurous? Add a little excitement with our optional watersports, including thrilling donut rides, jet skis, parasailing and speedboat adventures with our captain.

These activities are available at special discounted rates for Afrikat guests.

Or perhaps you’ve already had a busy morning and your perfect afternoon involves doing absolutely nothing!

Find your favourite spot on our comfortable sun cushions, stretch out, soak up the sunshine and enjoy the gentle movement of the catamaran.

There’s no right or wrong way to enjoy Afrikat. It’s your holiday, after all!

Delicious Food, Refreshing Drinks & Good Company

A relaxing afternoon at sea deserves something delicious to enjoy.

Our friendly crew will prepare and serve a light meal on board, leaving you free to enjoy every moment.

Throughout your cruise, you’ll also have a choice of drinks, including sangria, beer, soft drinks, juice, coffee and water.

And because we care about protecting the beautiful Atlantic Ocean, every guest receives a reusable Afrikat souvenir drinking cup to enjoy on board and take home.

It’s a little reminder of a lovely afternoon spent with us.

The Afrikat Welcome

The beautiful coastline and relaxed atmosphere are only part of what makes Afrikat special.

Our friendly three-person crew are here to make sure you feel welcome, comfortable and looked after from the moment you step aboard.

Whether you’re joining us as a couple, with family or friends, or celebrating something special, we want you to feel at home.
