Renting a catamaran in Fuerteventura is one of the most exclusive and exciting ways to discover the island from a unique perspective: the sea. But before you rush to make a booking, it is important to know a few key details that will make the difference between a simple boat trip and a truly premium experience.

If you are thinking of surprising your partner, celebrating a special event or simply treating yourself to a different kind of day sailing around the south of Fuerteventura, this is for you.

Why choose a catamaran?

Catamarans offer comfort, stability and space, making them the best option for groups, celebrations or private outings. Some of their advantages over other boats:

  • Greater stability.
  • Different areas: roof, shade, bathroom, relaxation areas.
  • Space to move around freely, socialise or lie in the sun.
  • Quiet engine and smooth sailing, our captains can even hoist the sail if the weather permits.
  • Modern appearance and a sense of affordable luxury.

What should you consider before renting one?

1. The type of experience you want

Are you looking for a quiet outing with your partner? A party with friends? A private event with food and music?
First, define your objective. Based on that, choose the most suitable type of boat and duration.

🔗 Example: Magic Deluxe is perfect for VIP experiences and exclusive celebrations with on-board catering.

2. The number of people

There are catamarans for small groups (10-12 people) and others for events with more than 40 passengers. Make sure that the boat you choose complies with the authorised capacity, and confirm whether you want to book it privately or share it with other groups.

3. The duration of the rental

The most common options are:

  • Half day (4 hours).
  • Full day (6-8 hours).
  • Hourly rental for specific events (after-work gatherings, sunset parties, etc.).

Think about the plan: do you want to go for drinks after work? See dolphins? Toast at sunset? Each activity requires its own time.

4. Services included

Before booking, check what is included in the rental. In our case, we offer fixed excursions that include certain services for a perfect experience:

Service *Non-customised packsIncluded? (Depends on each excursion)
Drinks (water, beer, wine, soft drinks, cava, etc.)
Appetisers or local food✅ / ❌ not included in Magic Dolphin

Transport from accommodation✅ / included depending on the area
Professional crew included
Personalised decoration (weddings, events, etc.)✅ / optional

📌 Tip: always check if there are any extras that incur additional costs (photographer, DJ, special champagne, etc.).

5. The itinerary

The itineraries usually depart from Morro Jable or Puerto de Jandía, in the south of the island. From there, you will explore beautiful waters and beaches, areas where you can spot cetaceans and wonderful calm waters where you can swim.

Ask if you can customise the route or if the skipper chooses the most suitable one depending on the sea conditions that day.
