Offshore fishing from Gran Canaria is a single decision with a clean answer, because the same operator sells the same six hours in two shapes. Cavalier & Blue Marlin runs the Cavalier and the Blue Marlin out of the Porto Novo harbour at Puerto Rico, 9 am to 3 pm, and you either buy a place or you buy the deck.

Cash only, no deposit. The operator takes no cards — bring the money with you; hotel transfer from the south and the fishing licence are already included in both options.

A place on board — €80

The shared trip is €80 per angler for the full six hours, with a maximum of ten people on board. The detail worth reading twice is about tackle: the operator states there is no fishing rod sharing and gives one, two or three rods to each occupant. On a boat that could otherwise put ten pairs of hands on four rods, that is the difference between fishing and watching.

The whole boat — €750

The private charter is €750 for one to six people, same hours, same water. Above six the operator adds €120 per trip. You set the pace: when to move on, how long to work a mark, whether to come back early.

What does that mean per head?

6€480€750€125
7€560€870€124.29

The private boat never becomes the cheaper option per head. What it buys is a deck without strangers and a schedule that belongs to your group — and at six people, €125 each is the price of that.

What else should you know?

The transfer is free. Hotel transfers in the south of Gran Canaria are included on all trips; the pickup time is confirmed when the booking is accepted, so give us the hotel name.

Bring cash. The operator writes it without ambiguity: payment is in cash only, debit and credit cards are not accepted. The compensation is that no deposit is required to hold the date.

The licence is covered. According to the operator's own site the fishing licence comes with the trip, so there is nothing to arrange in advance beyond your identity document.

Is a catch guaranteed?

No, and nobody sells one. Six hours offshore is six hours of fishing; the boat, the crew and the rods are what you are paying for.

Can non-anglers come along?

The shared trip is sold per angler with a cap of ten people on board, so a companion occupies a paid place. On the private charter the €750 covers one to six people however they divide between fishing and watching.

What else is there on a fishing morning?

Nothing else from the same boat — the trip holds the whole day. If a shorter outing suits better, the boat trips page has two- to four-hour departures from the same harbour.
