The starting point

A day at sea, and the only offer is to share the deck with a hundred people

You have a free day and you want to make the most of it: see the dolphins, Go to Los Gigantes, eat at anchor somewhere with transparent water. You search and all that appears are large capacity excursions with closed hours, morning shifts and afternoon shifts.

The underlying problem is not the price, it is the clock. If the group of pilot whales shows up at 12:40 and the boat has to be back at 1:30 because the next shift comes in, it doesn't matter what you're watching: it's over. And if you love anchoring, it doesn't matter either.

There is also a curious asymmetry on this island: it is easy to find a free spot for today, and surprisingly difficult to find an entire boat for a day. The good fleet is busy with weekly charters.

The proposal

A whole boat for a day, with no next turn waiting

The one-day boat rental in Tenerife has two very different versions. One is to get on a large catamaran in Los Cristianos or Puerto Colón with sixty other people, a fixed schedule and a route that repeats three times a day. The other is to have an entire boat for your group, with a professional skipper, and you decide where it goes.

We do the second. A day private charter aboard one of our 14 sailboats and catamarans, with skipper included, departing from Marina del Sur (Las Galletas) or Marina Santa Cruz. You don't need a qualification of any kind: the skipper runs the boat and you decide the plan.

One thing should be said at the outset: our main format is the weekly charter, from Saturday to Saturday. We offer one-day departures in the gaps left by the fleet between charters, so availability is limited and depends a lot on the date. Write to us with the day you have in mind and we will tell you what is available, without detours.

One-day plans

What can be done in one day from Tenerife South

Everything fits in a day of sailing. You choose the route and the skipper adjusts it to the part of that morning.

🐋

Cetaceans in Teno-Rasca

The marine strip between Punta de Teno and Punta de Rasca has a resident population of pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins all year round. From Marina del Sur you can get there in just over an hour by boat, and unlike the tourist boats you go alone.

🏔️

Los Gigantes Cliffs

Walls of up to 600 meters falling plummeting into the sea. It is the most impressive image of the island and can only be seen well from the water. It fits in a full day from the south, with a swimming stop included.

🏝️

Anchoring and swimming on the south coast

If what you are looking for is tranquility: Palm-Mar, the coast of Adeje, Playa Paraíso. Sheltered sea, clean water and no rush. The most requested plan by groups with small children.

🌅

Full day ending at sunset

Morning departure, anchoring for lunch and return with the sunset from the water. In winter the sun sets early, so it fits perfectly into a day without lengthening it.

🎉

Celebrations on board

Birthdays, anniversaries, farewells or a business lunch. The private boat for a day works very well as a setting, and we coordinate catering if you need it.

🤿

Snorkeling and paddle surfing

Several of our boats carry snorkeling and kayaking equipment, and the SUP can be added as an extra. A calm anchorage with the water at 20 °C in January is one of the things that best explains the Canary Islands.

The difference

Private boat or shared excursion

In Tenerife there is a lot of boat excursions on offer, and almost all of them are shared: large boats with 60 to 200 seats that leave from Los Cristianos, Puerto Colón o Los Gigantes with fixed schedule, fixed route and public address system. They cost little per person and for many people they are enough.

A day private charter is something else. The boat belongs to your group: there are no other passengers, there is no imposed schedule and the route is decided on the fly. If the dolphins appear, you stay. If you like anchoring, you don't have to return at 1:00 p.m. because the next shift comes in.

The price per person is higher than on a shared excursion, obviously. But in a group of eight or ten the difference is greatly reduced, and what you get in return is not comparable.

If what you are looking for is a cheap shared outing, we tell you frankly: we don't do it, and there are operators on the island that do it well.

Prices and conditions

How much does a day on a private boat cost in Tenerife

The price of a day trip depends on the boat, the date and the duration. It is quoted at the moment, with no surprises later.

We do not publish a fixed day charter rate because it would be misleading: the availability of a specific day depends on how the fleet is that week, and the price varies greatly between a 38-foot Jeanneau and the Lagoon 46. What we can tell you is what makes up the price, so you know exactly what you are getting paying:

Boat rental for the dayAccording to boat and date
Professional skipperIncluded in day trips
Fuel for the dayAccording to route
CleaningAccording boat
Catering on board (optional)Under consultation
SUP — paddle surf (optional)Under consultation
Nautical qualificationNot necessary

If you are looking for the best price-day ratio, The weekly charter is noticeably cheaper per day: the weekly rate spreads the cost of the boat over seven days.

«I have shared with Ángel Escolar Escuder (ECC Yach Charter) an unforgettable crossing between Mallorca and Tenerife. As captain, he has at all times generated the necessary security and confidence for navigation decisions […]. The boat, the Machango, an excellent catamaran equipped with more comforts and equipment than one would expect, a luxury.»

«I have rented sailboats between 30 and 45 on more than 8 occasions and it is the first time that I would repeat with the same company. The boat was an Oceanis 43 […] it was in very good condition and caused no problems. As for payment, everything has been done in order and with invoices; the deposit managed and returned.»

Frequently asked questions

Rental for one day in Tenerife: frequently asked questions

Can you rent a boat for just one day in Tenerife?

Yes, although with limited availability. Our main format is the weekly charter from Saturday to Saturday, and one-day departures are offered in the gaps left by the fleet between those charters.

That means that the answer depends a lot on the date: in weeks with the full fleet there is little margin, and in others there are several free boats. The quick way to find out is to write to us with the specific day.

Is the pattern included?

Yes. All our one-day outings have professional skipper included in the price. It is not optional: they are cruise boats from 38 to 55 feet and it would not make sense to hand them over for a single day.

The good consequence is that you do not need a nautical qualification of any kind, or previous experience. You get on board and that's it.

How many hours does a day trip last?

A full day normally lasts between six and eight hours, which is what a day lasts in the Canary Islands winter, assuming that it gets dark early. It usually leaves in the morning and returns in the middle of the afternoon.

If you are looking for something shorter—three or four hours, a sunset, a celebration—the formula is hourly rental.

Is it a shared excursion?

No. It is 100% private: the boat belongs to your group for the entire day, and no one but the skipper gets on board.

It is the difference with the excursions that leave from Los Cristianos, Puerto Colón or Los Gigantes, where a large boat is shared with dozens of people, a fixed route and closed hours. Here the route and the times are decided by you.

How many people can go up?

Depends on the boat: the fleet ranges from 6 to 11 seats for overnight navigation. For day trips without sleeping on board, the capacity may be somewhat greater on some boats.

Tell us exactly how many there are when you consult and we will confirm which units fit. It is not advisable to rush the maximum capacity if you are going to spend the entire day on board.

Can you see dolphins and whales on a day trip?

With a high probability. The Teno-Rasca marine strip, on the southwest coast, is home to a resident population of pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins throughout the year, and can be reached from Marina del Sur in just over an hour.

It is never a guarantee—they are wild animals—but it is one of the most consistent sighting areas in Europe. The approach regulations must be respected: minimum distance, reduced speed and not cutting off the group's path. The skipper is in charge of that.

Can you eat on board?

Yes. You can bring your own food and drink – it is the most common and most economical – or ask us to coordinate catering on board, which is quoted separately.

The boats have a full kitchen, refrigerator and kitchenware. An anchor stop for lunch with the boat stopped and the water next to it is, honestly, the best time of the day.

What happens if the day is bad?

The skipper decides with the report in hand. If conditions do not allow the planned route, it is normal to propose a sheltered alternative on the south coast, which is almost always navigable.

If it is not possible to leave directly, the departure is rescheduled to another available day. You never go out with a group on board in conditions that do not touch: it is not worth it for anyone.
