Boat trips in Tenerife
— choose your experience

Whale and dolphin watching on a sailing boat from Puerto Colón. Small groups of up to 10 guests, premium catering included and a specialist marine biology guide on board. Choose a shared departure or book the whole boat exclusively for your group.

What awaits you on board

This is what it looks like from the sailing boat

There is no easy way to describe what it feels like when a short-finned pilot whale surfaces just a metre from the hull. The silence of the sailing boat, the calm water and the animals moving freely around you. This is not just a tour. It is an experience that changes your perspective.

Groups of up to 10 guests, premium catering on board and a captain with over ten years sailing these waters. Everything you need for a perfect day at sea is already included.

What makes us different

01

Sailing boat, not a motorboat

Sailing is quieter and gentler. Cetaceans come closer and you are less likely to feel seasick. It is one of the most respectful ways to watch marine wildlife in Tenerife.

02

Always 10 guests maximum

Even on shared departures, we never exceed 10 places. That means real space on deck, genuine calm and an experience that has nothing in common with large catamaran tours.

03

Premium catering on every trip

Appetisers, a choice of main course — paella, Iberian cold cuts or sushi — and drinks included. It is not an extra: it is part of the experience from the very beginning.

04

Sightings guaranteed

If we do not spot cetaceans, you can repeat the trip free of charge. With over 10 years sailing these waters, our success rate exceeds 99%. The guarantee exists because we almost never need it.

05

Marine biology guide on board

Every departure includes a specialist who identifies species, explains their behaviour and answers your questions. Find out about the species you may spot in Tenerife before you board.

06

100% responsible tourism

We follow the Canary Islands cetacean watching regulations and the Tenerife Tourism Quality Charter. We respect safe distances, limit the number of vessels in each area and never chase the animals.
