A private charter with the rhythm of the Atlantic
This is not a crowded boat trip or a busy catamaran. It is a private, flexible and carefully designed experience for sailing the Canary Islands with time, comfort and personalised attention.
Departure from Puerto Colón
Your starting point is in Costa Adeje, in south Tenerife, an ideal location for sailing towards La Gomera and planning private routes around the Canary archipelago.
Real privacy for your group
The boat is reserved for you. No other passengers, no rush and a sailing experience designed for families, couples, friends or special trips.
Sailing, marine wildlife and snorkelling
Beyond the inter-island route, your trip may include cetacean watching, hydrophone listening, swimming, snorkelling and anchorages in crystal-clear waters.
Before booking your private charter
What is the difference between a private charter and a private boat trip?
A private boat trip usually focuses on 2, 3 or 6-hour departures along the south coast of Tenerife. A private charter allows for longer sailing trips, inter-island routes, flexible schedules and a more personalised sailing experience.
Where do private charters depart from?
Departures take place from Puerto Colón, in Costa Adeje, south Tenerife. From there, routes can be organised towards La Gomera, the western islands or the eastern islands of the Canary archipelago.
How many people can join the charter?
It depends on the type of trip. The private route to La Gomera is designed for up to 10 guests. Longer inter-island sailing trips may have specific occupancy conditions, so we recommend confirming the number of guests before booking.
Can the private charter route be personalised?
Yes. Routes can be adapted depending on availability, duration, weather and group preferences. Safety, comfort on board and real sea conditions always come first.
Is catering included in the private boat charter?
Yes. Our private sailing trips include premium catering on board with drinks, appetisers and food options depending on the chosen experience. Longer routes can also include lunch options on board or ashore.
Is booking Big Smile the same as hiring a private yacht in Tenerife?
Many guests search for private yacht hire in Tenerife, but Big Smile offers a different experience: a private sailing boat with calmer navigation, a premium atmosphere, a close crew and routes designed to enjoy the Atlantic at a natural pace.
