Select participants and date
The catamaran slips away from Corralejo’s marina with the same calm patience of a tide waiting to be read. Onboard—no more than twenty people—passengers trade the clatter of the quay for the low thrum of hulls cutting wind and the fresh, mineral smell of Atlantic spray. Within minutes the coastline of Fuerteventura collapses into a low line of sand dunes and white buildings; ahead, Isla de Lobos rises like a dark coin of volcanic rock, its cliffs daring the sea to push closer.

Adventure Tips
Arrive early
Be at Muelle Deportivo 30 minutes before departure to check in and secure a good spot on deck.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before boarding to protect the local marine reserve and avoid reapplying in the water.
Pack motion-sickness remedies
Windier afternoons can roll the boat—if you’re prone to seasickness, take prophylactics before leaving port.
Secure footwear
Water shoes help on ladders and slippery decks and protect against rocky landings if using kayaks close to shore.
