Sailing into the sunset on a catamaran is the ideal thing to do for romantic couples in Gran Canaria. If you want a piece of the action, you’d be better off going on a daytrip on a catamaran so that you can take a dip, try out some snorkelling or party hard. You could crank up the speed a little on a speed boat trip in Gran Canaria or go down under and see what’s lurking underneath in the “Golden Shark” submarine, which is based in the harbour in the pretty city of Mogán. If you want to see more of the island, you are welcome to sail around the coast.
