Barco Maora

Barco Maora offers coastal sailing from Playa Blanca on the southern shore of Lanzarote, Canary Islands. From the harbor at C. el Berrugo, 2, 35580 Playa Blanca, Las Palmas, Spain, this compact charter focuses on short, high-impact cruises that showcase Papagayo’s white-sand coves, the lava-carved cliffs of southern Lanzarote and, on extended itineraries, Isla de Lobos and the rugged coastline of Fuerteventura. Climb aboard for a minimum two-hour cruise that concentrates on swimming, snorkeling, and anchored relaxation.

The boat carries up to eight guests plus one crew, making for an intimate outing that feels more like time with friends than a crowded tour. Routes range from a quick route to Papagayo with about 45 minutes of anchoring, to four- and six-hour options that add longer stops at Papagayo and visits to Isla de Lobos and Corralejo in Fuerteventura, often passing the white beacon of Faro Martiño. Water here is famously clear: volcanic rock shelves give way to bays of translucent turquoise and sand pockets where parrotfish, small rays, and occasionally dolphins patrol.

What sets Barco Maora apart is its small-group scale and the flexibility of its stops. The captain can adjust anchoring time to suit swimmers and photographers, and the craft’s sporty layout emphasizes comfort and performance—Deportividad, confort y prestaciones definen nuestra embarcación Maora. Practical details are straightforward: arrive 20 minutes before departure, no footwear is allowed on board, and the experience is not adapted for people with reduced mobility; children under four are not recommended.

Cancellation policy refunds 75% for cancellations made at least 24 hours in advance. Extras include wakeboard and inflatable donut tow options (each 150€) and premium catering and beverage packages available on request. The operator does not list what is included in the base fare, so confirm inclusions when booking through the provided FareHarbor link.

Expect sun, wind on open decks, and brief swims from anchor; bring reef-safe sunscreen and a towel. For visitors staying in Playa Blanca, Barco Maora is an efficient way to see three islands in a day and to understand the geological contrast between Lanzarote’s black-lava shorelines and Fuerteventura’s long sandy beaches. This charter is ideal for small groups who prioritize sea time, clear water swims, and the chance to drop anchor in some of the Canary Islands’ cleanest bays.

On six-hour voyages the boat tracks coastal geology, offering views of lava cliffs, sea caves and rock forms while allowing longer swims and lunch at anchor. Snorkelers should bring masks and fins and consider a waterproof camera; wind can pick up in the afternoon and a light shell or windbreaker is smart. The crew provides local navigation knowledge and safety briefings, helping guests make the most of Canary Island seas safely.
