Rent a boat in Tenerife for whale or dolphin watching, which are mostly found in the waters around Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas, Costa Adeje and Los Gigantes. You will also be able to observe a great variety of sea birds flying over the boat.

The cetaceans of Tenerife are permanent inhabitants of the Canary Islands, so you can see them all year round. Some species are sporadic in their appearance, so it will always be a surprise what kind of cetaceans will appear during the adventure. Marine life watching is a must during your holidays in Tenerife. Our organised tours depart from the most important marinas on the island such as Puerto Colón, Los Cristianos, Los Gigantes or the Marina de Golf del Sur.

Travel with the confidence of going with professional sailors on board safe and fully serviced boats. We take you to explore the coast and get to know the most visited tourist attractions in the sea of Tenerife.

Visit Los Gigantes

If you want to rent a boat for 5-7 hours, you can visit the spectacular Los Gigantes Cliffs, Masca Bay and Barranco Seco. Nautical and adventure tourism is constant in this area. One way to get to Masca Bay is to go down the ravine until you reach the beach, but you will have the opportunity to arrive by boat and devote your energies to enjoying the sea and water sports.

If you are staying in Los Gigantes, you can visit the Cliffs of Los Gigantes on a private boat trip of just 2 hours. But if you are in one of the more remote resorts, you will have to rent a private boat for 6 hours or more to visit the Cliffs of Los Gigantes, its crags, steep cliffs and fascinating Masca Bay.

The price you see, is the price you pay

Almost all the boats you can rent in Tenerife include fuel (diesel), drinks and an experienced skipper. You will know exactly the cost and the price you will pay before you confirm the booking. Most of the food is also included which is usually paella or sandwiches. If you would like a birthday cake or a special meal, you can also order this for an additional cost. Drinks are also included on most yachts.

Transport

Bus Excursions

Most of the private boat trips depart from Puerto Colon or Los Cristianos harbour. Some of the boats we offer here pick you up and drop you off at your hotel. But not all boats include the transfer service, so you must come on your own to the harbour in the south of Tenerife.

If the resort or hotel where you are staying is not listed in the boat rental description, please send us a WhatsApp now to let us know if we can provide you with transport from your address, or inform you how to get to the dock as conveniently as possible. We can also inform you about the costs of using the taxi service from your accommodation. In most hotels in Tenerife it will be sufficient to ask for a taxi at the reception desk. Please note that a 5-seater taxi will cost the same as an 8-seater minibus taxi. Contact us for more information.

Our yachts depart from Puerto Colon in Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos, Los Gigantes, La Marina del Golf del Sur, Las Galletas dock and nearby Puerto Santiago. We also offer the option of hiring a private bus for transport if required (extra cost).  It will also be very easy to get to the Puerto Colon pier if your accommodation is in Playa de las Americas, Playa Fañabe or El Duque.

I hired the atlanca boat as a surprise for my husbands 40th birthday and it was honestly the best day and lots of fun. Easy to book, when we arrived Patrick did the paperwork and explained everything then Fran gave us all the safety information on how to ride the boat. Everything was provided and additional special touches were much appreciated. They were both great, really friendly and put us at ease. We had 3 hours booked and we got the full time, everything excellent. Highly recommended. Thank you

Alquilamos una excursión para ver cetáceos y dar un paseo de 3h. En general la experiencia estuvo bien. Toda la gestión de reserva fue fácil y el trato con Bananapalmbay fue un gusto.
Al llegar al barco tuvimos alguna confusión con lo acordado, pero tras comunicarse la empresa del barco con Bananapalmbay se solucionó y pudimos disfrutar del viaje. Además vimos ballenas piloto.
