We were a group of eight and had an excellent afternoon. Greg and Pascual looked after us beautifully. Good spirits, music, paella, photos for us — and even a sperm whale put on a fine show for us. A thousand thanks, it was one of our loveliest days.

A catamaran day out of Corralejo into the water between Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and Lobos, where whales, dolphins, pilot whales and turtles live, followed by an anchorage off La Concha with snorkelling, kayaks, paddle boards and a seafood paella. €75 per adult, €50 per child aged 2 to 11.
The operator is careful about the wording, and so should anyone reading it be: the trip goes to one of the best areas in the Canaries for observing cetaceans in their natural habitat, because, as it explains, the oceanographic characteristics of the water between the three islands let various kinds of whale and dolphin live there. That is a good reason to go looking. It is not a promise that you will see them, and the operator does not make one.
The second half is the reliable half. After the search, the catamaran motors to Playa de La Concha — famous, the operator says, for its paradise calm and turquoise water, and for changing completely with the tide — and anchors. There you can feed the fish and watch them while snorkelling, take a kayak or a paddle board, or do nothing on deck. A seafood and fish paella is served, and all drinks are included.
Book the morning one if you can. There are two departures, 9:00 and 14:30, and the operator states plainly that the 14:30 sailing is reduced to four hours and finishes at 18:30, because the daylight does not allow more time on the water. The advertised five hours belong to the 9:00 trip.
The boat is a Cata 43, which the operator's own fleet pages give a capacity of twelve and describe as built for fishing and touring. Twelve is a small number for a shared trip of this length — it is the same order as its private charters. The trip is operated by BJ Fishing, and FuerteCharter says so on the page rather than hiding it.
What this trip does not do is land on Lobos: it anchors near the beach. The operator's booking system does not run the Isla de Lobos authorisation step for it, and nothing on its page mentions the permit.
What are the highlights?

“We were a group of eight and had an excellent afternoon. Greg and Pascual looked after us beautifully. Good spirits, music, paella, photos for us — and even a sperm whale put on a fine show for us. A thousand thanks, it was one of our loveliest days.”
“We were delighted with the catamaran trip to Isla de Lobos on Monday 25 May 2026. The person in charge of the trip, Greg (we think that was his name), was charming and very funny. He and his team turned the outing into a great experience, telling us the history of the island and what makes it what it is in a very entertaining way. The rest of the crew, the captain and the zodiac pilot, were also very likeable and did their job perfectly. All in all, a great day out. Highly recommended.”
