Unforgettable 3-Hour Fishing Adventure from Playa Blanca’s Shores

Read the full experience

Situated off the southern coast of Lanzarote, near Playa Blanca in the Canary Islands, this three-hour fishing expedition offers a captivating way to explore some of the region’s most scenic marine environments. The trip sets sail from either Puerto Calero or Marina Rubicón, right on the doorstep of the Ajaches Natural Park—a volcanic landscape marked by rugged cliffs and arid beauty—as well as the sun-drenched Papagayo beaches, known for their golden sands and crystal-clear waters. This locally guided fishing tour is designed for small groups, with a maximum of 10 participants, ensuring a personal and engaging experience aboard a well-equipped fishing boat captained by an experienced local. Depending on the day and sea conditions, guests have the option to troll for pelagic species cruising near the surface or drop lines for bottom fishing targeting reef-dwelling fish. Both methods provide chances to hook a variety of catches while surrounded by the stunning natural backdrop of Lanzarote’s southern coast. One of the trip’s most enchanting features is the frequent appearance of playful dolphins that often accompany the boat, adding a special dimension to the day’s adventure and perfect photo moments. From the sea, participants enjoy sweeping views of the Ajaches Natural Park’s dramatic volcanic ridges—formed from ancient lava flows—and the pristine beaches of Papagayo, untouched by development and maintained under environmental protections. The boat comes fully equipped with fishing gear, snacks, and a knowledgeable captain who shares insights about local marine life and conservation efforts that help protect these waters. Although the vessel is not wheelchair accessible, ambulatory guests are welcome, and the crew is happy to accommodate guests with special needs when contacted in advance. This trip is perfect for visitors seeking a half-day escape blending active outdoor recreation with nature watching. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a curious beginner, the friendly atmosphere and expert guidance create a memorable fishing experience framed by some of the Canary Islands’ most impressive coastal scenery. Bring along swimwear, sunscreen, a hat, and a towel to stay comfortable on deck and enjoy opportunities to swim or chill on the boat. Booking requires arriving 10 minutes before departure, with flexible cancellation policies. Note that glass containers are prohibited onboard for safety reasons, and children must be accompanied by an adult to enjoy this adventure responsibly.
