Lanzarote: Fast Blast, Super Speed Boat adventure at top speed

Hold on tight, this is a short ride with serious speed. The Lanzarote Fast Blast packs 20 minutes of sharp turns, slides, music, and coastal views into a compact outing from Puerto del Carmen. I like the 40-knot pace and the small groups, which can make the ride feel more personal. I also like that the captain checks in with you during the run, rather than treating everyone as cargo.

The main catch is simple: 20 minutes goes by quickly, especially once you factor in boarding and getting settled. This is not a sightseeing cruise or a slow trip along the shore. It is a powered-up thrill ride, and waves can leave you soaking wet. If you have back trouble, are pregnant, are over 70, or are bringing a child under 10, this activity is not suitable.

Key points before you book

• The boat can reach more than 40 knots, so expect speed, spray, sudden turns, and plenty of wind.
• The ride starts and finishes at H2O Sports Lanzarote at the entrance to the port in Puerto del Carmen.
• Groups are limited to 12 people, although smaller groups may get more attention from the captain.
• Music, spins, and glides make this feel more like an amusement ride on the sea than a standard boat trip.
• You may get soaked, especially when the boat hits waves at speed, so wear beachwear.
• The experience lasts only 20 minutes, making it easy to fit into a day around Puerto del Carmen.

What the Fast Blast actually feels like

This is Lanzarote by speedboat, not by sightseeing vessel. You board a fast boat, put on a life jacket, and head out from Puerto del Carmen for a concentrated burst of motion. The captain takes you along the coast, then adds the sharp turns and gliding movements that give the ride its name.

At more than 40 knots, the wind becomes part of the experience. You feel the boat accelerate, the spray rise, and the hull react to the water. The ride is built around excitement, so you should expect screams, laughter, and a fair amount of gripping the seat or rail.

Music adds to the ride’s party-like feel. That can be fun if you want an energetic break from beach time. It may not suit you if you hoped for a quiet look at the coast or a chance to hear a guide explain what you are seeing.

The most useful way to think about this outing is as a short, high-energy attraction. You are not paying for a long cruise or a detailed coastal tour. You are paying for acceleration, turns, spray, and a memorable 20 minutes on the water.

Meeting the boat at Puerto del Carmen

The meeting point is H2O Sports Lanzarote at the entrance to the port. Look opposite the Cepsa gas station for the booth marked H2O Sports Lanzarote. Staff will be waiting there to direct you.

This location matters because the activity does not include transportation. You need to make your own way to the port, and the ride returns to the same place. That makes it easy to combine with time in Puerto del Carmen, but you should allow enough time to find the booth before your booked starting time.

The activity has several starting times, but the exact schedule depends on availability. Check the available slots before planning lunch, a beach visit, or another excursion around it. Since the ride itself is only 20 minutes, a small delay in finding the meeting point could take up a large part of your experience.

Wear beachwear from the start. The supplied information does not list changing facilities, towels, or drinks, so do not count on those being provided. Bring only what you are comfortable taking on a water-based activity, and keep the practical side simple.

The departure from H2O Sports Lanzarote

Once you meet the staff, you board the speedboat at the same port area. A captain operates the boat, and a life jacket is included. Insurance is also included, which gives the activity a basic level of cover without asking you to arrange those essentials yourself.

The group limit is 12 people. That is small enough to avoid the feel of a large sightseeing boat, though the actual number on your departure can vary. Some outings may have only a few people aboard. A smaller group can mean more room and a captain who can pay closer attention to how everyone is handling the ride.

The ride is not described as a long safety briefing or an instructional boating session. You should listen carefully to the captain’s directions before setting off, especially because the boat will make sudden movements. If you feel uncomfortable at any point, speak up. A useful detail from the experience is that the captain checks in during the ride, which is especially welcome when the boat is moving hard and fast.

Coastline views with a 40-knot rush

The route follows the coast from Puerto del Carmen. You get views of Lanzarote from the water, but the main focus remains the speedboat itself. At full pace, the coastline becomes part of the scenery rushing past rather than something you study at leisure.

The ride includes fast spins and glides. These movements create the biggest thrills, but they also explain why the activity has age and health restrictions. A boat moving through waves at high speed can put force through your body, particularly during sharp turns or landings after a bump.

The water conditions will affect the feel of the ride. One especially useful point is that waves may leave you completely wet when the captain takes the boat into them. That is not a minor possibility to ignore. Wear swimwear or other beachwear, and accept that your clothes, hair, and shoes may get splashed.

I would not book this as a way to stay dry and polished before dinner. I would book it when getting wet is part of the fun. The combination of wind, spray, speed, and music creates a lively outing, but it is not gentle.

Why the small group can make a difference

A maximum of 12 people gives the Fast Blast a friendlier feel than a large commercial boat ride. You are less likely to feel lost in a crowd, and the captain can keep an eye on the group more easily.

The experience can feel even more personal when only a few people book a departure. On one outing, there were just two people aboard, and the captain was able to have a lot of fun with the ride while checking that everything was fine. That kind of attention is a real advantage for a thrill activity.

It also means the ride can respond better to the people on board, within the limits of safety and conditions. If you are nervous, a captain who checks in is reassuring. If you want maximum excitement, a tiny group can make the ride feel less routine.

Still, do not assume every departure will have only two people. The stated capacity is up to 12, and the size depends on bookings. If a small group matters to you, ask H2O Sports Lanzarote about the departure when you arrive or before booking.

A family activity, with important limits

The experience is promoted as fun for the whole family, but the restrictions narrow that phrase. Children under 10 cannot take part. Pregnant women, people with back problems, and people over 70 should not book it.

Those limits make sense for a boat that reaches more than 40 knots and performs sharp turns. This is not a calm family cruise where every age and mobility level can join. You need to be comfortable with rapid motion and the chance of getting thrown around by waves.

For families with older children, the ride may be a good shared activity if everyone enjoys speed. For a mixed-age group, it may work better for eligible family members to take the ride while others enjoy the port or nearby coast. Do not pressure a reluctant member of your group. The boat is designed to be thrilling, and that same quality can make it unpleasant for someone who dislikes sudden motion.

The ride also suits couples, friends, and solo visitors who want a quick burst of action without giving up half a day. Its short duration is useful if you are fitting several activities into your schedule.

What is included, and what you still need

Your booking includes the speedboat, captain, life jacket, and insurance. Those are the core parts of the activity, so you do not need to arrange a boat or safety equipment separately.

Beverages are not included. Gratuity is not included either, so any tip is your choice and should be based on the service you receive. Transportation is also not included, which means you need to reach the port on your own.

Beachwear is the only stated item to bring, but it is the sensible choice. You might also prefer to bring a towel and a change of clothes, though these are not listed as supplied items. Since the experience can leave you soaked, a dry layer could be useful afterward. Keep that suggestion practical rather than assuming the operator has storage or changing space.

The live guide languages are English, French, and Spanish. That gives you a good chance of receiving instructions in a language you understand, but the activity remains strongly physical. Even with a guide, most of the 20 minutes will be spent feeling the boat move rather than listening to a long explanation.

Is 20 minutes enough value?

There is no price provided here, so I cannot judge the exact deal without seeing your booking date and fare. The better question is what you expect from the money. If you want a full coastal outing, 20 minutes will feel brief. If you want a compact adrenaline activity between other plans, the short format can be a strength.

You are paying for the boat’s speed and the captain’s handling, not for extensive time on the water. The 40-knot runs, spins, glides, and waves pack a lot into a short period. That makes the Fast Blast more comparable to a fairground thrill ride than to a standard boat excursion.

Small groups also add value. You are not simply standing on a crowded vessel waiting for something to happen. The captain actively controls the pace and checks on the people aboard. The experience can feel especially worthwhile when your departure has only a few participants.

I would compare the price with other short activities in Puerto del Carmen, but I would not compare it directly with a half-day boat trip. They serve different purposes. One gives you time and scenery. This one gives you concentrated motion.

Booking flexibility and practical planning

You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. The reserve-now, pay-later option lets you hold a place without paying immediately, which is useful when your plans are still moving around.

Check availability for the exact starting times before you book. The activity ends back at H2O Sports Lanzarote, so you can plan from the same port area afterward. That makes the ride easy to pair with time in Puerto del Carmen, but do not create a tight schedule if you need to change clothes or travel elsewhere.

The experience provider is WAVERIDER RIB EXPERIENCE SL. The activity is operated with a captain, and the stated languages are English, French, and Spanish. The essentials, including insurance and a life jacket, are included in the booking.

Who should book the Fast Blast?

I would recommend it to you if you like fast rides, do not mind spray, and want something exciting that takes very little time. It is a strong choice for a couple or small group looking for a burst of fun near Puerto del Carmen.

It also works well for people who want a water activity without committing to a full day. You get coastal views, music, speed, and the chance to laugh at your own startled reaction when the boat hits a wave.

I would skip it if you want a calm cruise, dislike sudden turns, or need a dry and quiet activity. I would also skip it if you have back problems, are pregnant, are over 70, or are traveling with a child under 10. The restrictions are firm and fit the physical nature of the ride.

Should you book this Lanzarote speedboat ride?

Book it if your idea of a good time includes 40-knot speed, sharp turns, music, wind, and the possibility of getting drenched. The small-group format and attentive captain add a personal touch, while the 20-minute length makes it easy to fit into a Puerto del Carmen day.

Skip it if you are hoping to admire the coast slowly or want a longer outing for your money. This is a short, forceful thrill ride. For the right person, that focus is exactly the appeal.
