My fiancée and I have been on catamaran trips on holiday before, but few have been quite as chilled out and enjoyable as the one we went on in Gran Canaria with Exclusive Boat Trips.
We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel by minivan, and the whole day seemed casual but well organised. A limit of 19(ish) passengers on the catamaran meant there was plenty of space to move around, sightsee and sunbathe without tripping over people, and there were plenty of options to swim, paddleboard or go on other excursions if you wanted to.
We were served free sangria or beer, with other options available at a reasonable price, as well as a choice of tuna or chicken for lunch, with Canarian potatoes and salad, all of which were delicious.
This boat tour costs a little more than some others, but that is repaid many times over by a professional, personal service and a relaxed, fun and fulfilling day on the ocean.
P.S. My fiancée accidentally left her bag in the minivan on the way back, and one of the boat crew personally drove it round to our hotel on his way home. Brilliant service.
