Looks like a mini sub, but wouldn't have expected a sub to carry liferafts on deck!

It's in La Restinga harbour in the Canaries.

Just a guess, but perhaps it's a tripper-boat with big glass windows in the sides for looking at underwater wildlife? They like to give the feeling of being in a submarine, hence the shape, but actually making a real submarine is hard so these things don't actually submerge. Passenger-carrying regs probably require the liferafts, which gives further support to this explanation.
