Kayak and Stand-Up Paddle Hire by the Hour at Puerto Castillo
Hire a kayak or a paddle board straight from the marina at Caleta de Fuste and go out into the sheltered bay on your own: 15 € an hour for a single kayak, 25 € an hour for a double, 15 € an hour for a SUP with board, paddle and a staff member to show you how to start. Available every day of the year.
Fuerteventura, Spain · 1h · €15 per hour for a single kayak or a stand-up paddle board · ES · EN
A quiet harbour, not overcrowded; you can stroll calmly and take in the views. There are several activities on offer and they have a sales point right there. There is also a small area with sea lions.
What is this tour like?
Not every hour on the water needs a guide. Puerto Castillo, the marina at Castillo Caleta de Fuste, hires kayaks and paddle boards by the hour from its own sales point, and the bay it sits in is about as forgiving as Atlantic water gets on this island: reviewers describe it as a harbour with no waves, good for people who are not confident swimmers.
The kayak comes as a single or a double, at 15 € and 25 € for the hour, and the marina describes it simply as a quiet ride around the bay, alone or with company. The stand-up paddle is 15 € an hour and includes the board, the paddle, and a staff member who shows you how to get started — which is the difference between hire and a course, and worth knowing if you have never stood on a board.
Both run every day of the year. This is the low-commitment end of paddling on Fuerteventura: no pick-up to arrange, no fixed departure, no minimum group. If you want a guided route, a snorkelling stop or an open-water crossing, that is a different product on a different part of the island — this one is an hour of your own on flat water.
The 4.3 rating and the review count above belong to Puerto Castillo as a place — the marina with its restaurants, water park and sea lion pool — and not to the kayak hire alone.

Quick questions
What do guests say?
“A quiet harbour, not overcrowded; you can stroll calmly and take in the views. There are several activities on offer and they have a sales point right there. There is also a small area with sea lions.”
“We found the place a bit boring — a nice harbour, no waves, good for non-swimmers, a short jet ski loop of 300 m, a lot of hotels along the coast, it does not look natural. Average. A small, pleasant harbour with a golf course nearby.”
“It was fairly quiet when we visited. More of a place for people looking for watersports activities.”
