Passion for the sea
Our ship
After years of sailing and bringing the sea and its life closer to our clients, we decided to build the Spirit of the Sea.
This catamaran, created with our experience and passion as a base, was designed exclusively for this activity.
We prioritize safety, the comfort of our passengers and the purpose of the vessel.
The two hulls of the Spirit of the Sea are glass-enclosed galleries, allowing you to observe the cetaceans underwater. Often, you will see them playing, feeding and swimming, showing their curiosity towards us.
Whale and dolphin watching in Gran Canaria
The sea, dolphins, whales... are our passion, and sharing it with our clients is our greatest motivation.
On board the Spirit of the Sea, you will witness everything from small spotted dolphins to majestic 100-foot whales, along with pilot whales, beaked whales and other amazing marine inhabitants.
