Forty knots feels like flying. This fast blast ride in Lanzarote is built for full-on speed, quick twists, and coastal views that flash by in about 20 minutes.

I especially like the combo of a super speedboat run at speed plus the small-group setup (up to 12), which makes the whole experience feel more hands-on than big-boat tourism. The captain and live guide experience also matters here, since you’re not just sitting there you’re moving. One heads-up: this is not a gentle cruise, and the waves can leave you pretty wet.

Quick hits before you go

• 40 knots energy: expect fast turns and glides, not a slow sightseeing run
• Small groups up to 12: you get more personal attention in the boat
• From Puerto del Carmen: a straightforward start and finish at H2O Sports Lanzarote
• Wind-in-your-face ride: hold on and enjoy the full speed feeling
• Not for everyone: children under 10, pregnant women, people with back problems, and those over 70 aren’t recommended

What the 20-minute Fast Blast ride feels like at 40 knots

This is a short, intense water session. You’re on the water for about 20 minutes, and during that time the goal is simple: speed, turns, and the kind of motion that makes you forget your watch. You’ll cruise along Lanzarote’s coastline at up to 40 knots, then cut back and forth in fast spins and glides that keep the adrenaline high.

The best way I can describe it is like this: it’s not “look at the scenery” time first. It’s “hang on, breathe, and enjoy the ride” time first. You do get views of the coast as you fly past, but the main event is the feel of the boat carving through water. If you love speed rides on land, you’ll probably love this even more because you’re getting the wind in your hair the whole time.

Also, the ride is designed to be fun for the whole family group that qualifies. It’s loud, playful, and animated, with music and big coastal visuals as the backdrop. Just remember: if you’re hoping for a calm, photo-only outing, this isn’t that.

Getting to H2O Sports Lanzarote in Puerto del Carmen

Plan to meet right where the action starts: H2O Sports Lanzarote. The meeting point is at the entrance of the port, opposite the Cepsa gas station, with a booth and staff waiting to help you.

This is a good setup if you like clear directions. There’s no long shuttle or hidden maze once you’re in the port area. You show up, find the booth labeled H2O Sports Lanzarote, and you’re lined up for the boat.

Wear beachwear. You’ll thank yourself once the wind picks up and the water starts behaving like water (especially if the sea has chop). Transportation isn’t included, so you’ll need to sort your own way to the port area ahead of time.

Safety gear and small-group energy on a RIB speedboat

You’re provided a life jacket, and you go with a captain plus live guide support on the experience. That combination is reassuring: the captain handles the boat in real time, and the guide keeps things organized and communicative while you’re out there.

Small group size is a big deal on a speedboat. With up to 12 people, the boat feels more flexible. When there are fewer people on board, you often get a more interactive vibe, and it’s easier for the captain to check in and adjust how the ride feels for the group.

The ride also includes insurance. That doesn’t mean you should ignore common sense, but it does add a level of comfort when you’re choosing something fast and watery.

Stop 1: H2O Sports Lanzarote starting area and what happens before you go

Stop 1 is your launch moment: H2O Sports Lanzarote. This is where you’ll get set up for the ride and where the group gathers before heading out.

Because it’s a live-guided activity with English, French, and Spanish available, you’re not left guessing what’s going on. The guide helps you line up and get ready, so you can focus on the important part: getting into position, getting your balance, and mentally preparing for speed.

If you’re the kind of person who likes to ask questions, this is also your window. Ask about anything that affects you personally, especially if you’re on the edge of the age guidance or you’re unsure how your body handles quick motion.

The ride along Lanzarote: spins, glides, and getting wet

Once the boat is moving, the experience shifts fast from waiting to action. You head out for a high-energy run from Puerto del Carmen along the coast. The ride is built around exhilarating twists and slides at full speed, with music and fast-changing coastal views.

The key phrase here is full speed. That means you don’t just go forward—you turn. And when you turn fast on water, the boat’s angle and speed change what your body feels. Expect stronger wind, sudden motion shifts, and the reality that waves can splash over the edge.

One of the most useful pieces of practical info from the experience is this: if there are waves, you can end up soaking wet. You shouldn’t treat it like a dry-day activity. The best attitude is to plan for water to reach you and wear beachwear you don’t mind getting damp.

If you’re worried about looking ridiculous, don’t be. It’s a speed ride. Everyone’s holding on, everyone’s reacting, and that’s half the fun.

Also, don’t fight the wind. Face into it, brace yourself, and let the movement do what it does. The people who enjoy this most are the ones who commit mentally to being on a fast ride, not trying to stay perfectly still.

Stop 2: Returning to H2O Sports Lanzarote after the adrenaline rush

Stop 2 is back at the same place: H2O Sports Lanzarote. The return feels quick because the total experience is only about 20 minutes. In other words, you don’t spend your day waiting around for a long wrap-up—you go out, ride hard, and come back.

This is a practical benefit. You can fit it into a Lanzarote day without losing half your schedule. The ride ends where it started, which keeps the whole thing simple and reduces extra transfers.

If you’ve got plans after, you can usually transition quickly—just give yourself a moment to dry off and reset. The wind and water can linger on you longer than you’d expect.

Who this super fast speedboat is best for

This one is for people who want speed and don’t mind motion. It’s also for families within the age guidance, since it’s described as a fun experience for the whole family group that qualifies.

The activity isn’t suitable for:

• Children under 10 years
• Pregnant women
• People with back problems
• People over 70 years

That list matters. If any of those categories apply to you, skip this style of ride. Fast turns and rapid motion aren’t where you want to test your limits.

If you are in a good health range and you enjoy adrenaline, this is a strong match. It’s also a good choice if you’re traveling with friends and want a shared moment that feels like an event, not a checkbox. With small groups, you’ll have a better chance of feeling like part of the ride rather than just a number in a bigger operation.

Value check: what you get for a short, high-speed ride

Even without a price listed here, you can judge value by what’s included and how long you actually spend doing the real activity.

Included:

• Speedboat
• Life jacket
• Captain
• Insurance

Not included:

• Beverages
• Gratuity
• Transportation

For a 20-minute speed-focused outing, the included items are exactly what you want: you’re paying for the boat time, the captain, and the safety basics. Insurance is a helpful extra when you’re choosing an adrenaline experience.

The part you’ll want to plan for is simple: bring water or arrange beverages elsewhere if you need them after, and think about how you’ll handle gratuity based on your own style. Transportation is on you too, so build that into your schedule.

The short duration can be either a positive or a drawback depending on your expectations. If you want a big-sightseeing day, you might feel it’s too brief. If you want a fast adrenaline hit with a clear start and finish, it’s a very efficient use of time.

Tips to make your Fast Blast smoother

You only have one real job during the ride: hold on. The boat moves quickly, and the fun comes from the speed and the turns, so treat stability as your priority.

Here are a few practical ways to set yourself up:

• Wear beachwear you’re okay getting wet. Waves can splash you, especially when the sea is active.
• If you’re sensitive to motion, consider whether you’re comfortable with quick twists. This is not a slow cruise.
• Go in mentally ready for wind. Your hair, sunglasses, and general comfort may get affected by the speed.
• Keep your expectations aligned with the timing. It’s about 20 minutes of action, not hours of cruising.

One more helpful note: with smaller groups, the captain and guide may be more attentive and responsive during the trip. That can make the ride feel smoother and more personal, especially if you have questions once you’re out on the water.

Should you book Lanzarote Fast Blast?

Book it if you want a straightforward, high-adrenaline speedboat experience from Puerto del Carmen and you like the idea of twists, slides, and doing something you’ll remember because it’s intense and fun. The small-group feel, included life jacket and insurance, and the up-to-40-knots speed make it a good value-style choice for people who want action more than commentary.

Skip it if you want calm sightseeing, if you’re in the recommended non-suitable categories (under 10, pregnant, back problems, over 70), or if you’re uncomfortable with rougher water conditions. The wind and possible soaking are real parts of the package.

If you’re on the fence, be honest about one thing: do you want an adrenaline ride where you hold on and react, or do you want a gentle coast cruise? Your answer should decide fast.
