Setting Sail on the Afrikat

As someone who has spent countless hours riding the waves and exploring the hidden gems of the Caribbean, I was eager to experience the Afrikat Catamaran cruise along the coast of Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria. The promise of a luxurious catamaran, combined with the allure of the open sea, was too tempting to resist.

Upon arrival at Puerto Base, I was greeted by Duncan, a lively character who instantly set the tone for the day. His infectious energy and warm welcome made everyone feel at ease as we boarded the Afrikat. With a cold drink in hand and the sun shining down, we set sail along the stunning coastline, leaving the bustling port behind.

The catamaran itself was a beauty, offering ample space to relax and soak in the views. As we cruised towards a secluded bay, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of freedom that only the ocean can provide. The gentle sway of the boat and the sound of the waves created a serene atmosphere, perfect for unwinding and enjoying the moment.

Adventure Awaits

Once anchored in the crystal-clear waters, the real fun began. The Afrikat offers a variety of water sports, and I was eager to dive in. As a former professional surfer, the call of the ocean is something I can never resist. I started with a refreshing swim, the cool water a welcome relief from the sun’s heat.

Next up was the donut ride, an exhilarating experience that had me laughing uncontrollably as we sped across the water. The thrill of the ride was matched only by the camaraderie of fellow adventurers, all of us sharing in the joy of the moment. And as a bonus, the speedboat ride was included, adding another layer of excitement to the day.

For those seeking a different kind of thrill, parasailing was also on offer, providing a bird’s-eye view of the stunning coastline. The Afrikat truly caters to all, whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or simply looking to relax and enjoy the scenery.

A Perfect Ending

As the day drew to a close, we were treated to a delicious meal on board, accompanied by a selection of drinks that kept the good vibes flowing. The self-service bar was a hit, with options ranging from sangria to soft drinks, ensuring everyone was well-catered for.

The highlight of the return journey was undoubtedly the surprise performance by Ash, a talented saxophonist who brought the party to life. As the sun began to set, the deck transformed into a dance floor, with everyone joining in the celebration. It was a fitting end to a day filled with laughter, adventure, and new friendships.

Reflecting on the experience, it’s clear why the Afrikat is a standout choice for those visiting Gran Canaria. The combination of luxury, adventure, and genuine hospitality makes it a must-do for anyone seeking a memorable day on the water. Whether you’re a seasoned ocean lover like myself or a first-time explorer, the Afrikat offers something truly special.
