What to expect

Your private charter departs the Tenerife coast with a crew briefing on what marine species you might encounter and the day's route. Spend your time scanning the horizon and waters for cetacean activity—sightings aren't guaranteed but waters off Tenerife hold regular populations. When whales or dolphins appear, the crew cuts engines and keeps a respectful distance. Between wildlife watches, you'll sail past towering coastal landmarks. At a chosen anchorage, drop anchor for a swim or snorkel session in calm water. Meals arrive on deck—fresh local fare with vegetarian options available—paired with wine, beer or soft drinks. The return journey hugs the coast, giving you one final look at Tenerife's dramatic shoreline.

Good to know

Bring your own snorkelling gear if planning to use it. Whale sightings depend on season and sea conditions—enquire about timing when booking. Public transport reaches the harbour; private transfers aren't included. Children must be with an adult. Digital photos are available for purchase if the crew captures your group.
