Boat & Marine Rentals in Tenerife

There is no better way to experience Tenerife's dramatic volcanic coastline than from the deck of your own chartered vessel. The waters between Tenerife and La Gomera are home to one of the world's largest resident populations of pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins, making boat rental one of the island's most sought-after experiences. Departing from the modern marinas at Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje, Los Gigantes, and Santa Cruz, you can choose from a range of vessels to suit your group and budget. Skippered motor yachts offer luxury day trips along the southwestern coast with stops for swimming in secluded coves. Self-drive motorboats — available with a basic boating licence — let you chart your own course. Sailing enthusiasts can rent catamarans and sailboats for multi-day voyages, island-hopping to La Gomera or El Hierro. The Los Gigantes cliffs, rising 600 metres straight from the ocean, are a highlight of any western coast charter. Anchor beneath these towering basalt walls and snorkel in waters so clear you can see 30 metres to the seabed. On the south coast, cruise past the golden beaches of Playa del Duque and Playa de Fañabé, stopping to swim with sea turtles near Palm-Mar. Most charter companies based at Puerto Colón and Los Cristianos harbour include fuel, safety equipment, snorkelling gear, and onboard refreshments. Half-day, full-day, and sunset cruise options are available, with private charters for up to 12 guests being particularly popular for birthdays, proposals, and family celebrations.
