After being met at your hotel or meeting point, you will be transferred to the harbor in Corralejo where you will board the Catamaran. While sailing you can help the crew with the sailing or have a go at being the captain at the helm and steer the boat. The boat will anchor off the desert island of Los Lobos, just off the north-east tip of Fuerteventura). At this point, steps are lowered into the water for you to be able to get in and out to swim. There is snorkeling equipment provided for all ages/sizes and a spin around the bay on a jet-ski is included. Lunch is served while you are anchored at Los Lobos. This consists of pasta with a tomato and tuna sauce (tomato and vegetable for those who don't like tuna) cheese, bread and butter and salad. Throughout the sailing there is a free bar and drinks are unlimited. The drinks available on board are red, white and rose wines, beer, coca cola, diet coke, fanta orange, fanta lemon, sprite, still water and sparkling water. Once it's time to set sail back to Fuerteventura, again, you may join in and help the crew or just sit back, relax and let the crew bring drinks to you. On arrival back in Fuerteventura, you will be transferred back to your hotel. This particular boat has been featured on Wish You Were Here, GMTV, Sky Travel channel and recently featured in OK magazine (Kian from Westlife said it was the only way to travel on the sea).
