Private Glamorous Speedboat in Tenerife with Snacks & Drinks

The best part of this Tenerife outing is the mix of wildlife watching and private boat time. You head from Puerto Colón into the Atlantic between Tenerife and La Gomera, looking for resident pilot whales and dolphins before stopping at a quiet bay for a swim. I like the freedom of having the boat to your own group, and I like that the 3-hour option includes snacks as well as drinks. The main consideration is the price: $541.85 is good value for 10 people, but less so for a small party.

You can stretch out on the boat’s bedded areas, take photos from the water, or use the diving goggles provided for a closer look below the surface. Captain Adrian has been praised for being friendly and easy to speak with, which matters on a small private charter where the crew shapes much of the day. Snacks and swim time are available only on the 3-hour sailing, so check the duration carefully when booking.

Key points to know before booking

• Pilot whales and dolphins offshore: The route heads into the Atlantic between Tenerife and La Gomera to look for resident marine life.
• Private boat for up to 10 people: Your group does not share the activity with other customers.
• The 3-hour trip offers the full package: You get Canarian snacks, a secluded-bay stop, swimming, and snorkeling.
• Drinks are included: Beer, wine, cava, and soft drinks are served during the sailing.
• Puerto Colón is the start and finish: Meet at Water Sports Tenerife, near public transportation, and return to the same point.
• Weather affects departure: Poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund.

Leaving Puerto Colón on a private speedboat

You meet at Water Sports Tenerife, Calle Colón 6, at Escuela Náutica Puerto Colón in Adeje. The exact meeting time is confirmed after booking, so you need to keep that detail handy rather than simply arriving whenever suits you.

The boat leaves Puerto Colón with only your group aboard. For a family, birthday party, group of friends, or a small celebration, that private setup changes the feel of the outing. You are not trying to find seats beside strangers or fit your plans around another group’s wishes. You can enjoy the boat together and make the most of the short time on the water.

The description presents the boat as glamorous and VIP-style, with bedded areas where you can relax. That does not mean you should expect a full-day yacht charter. This is a roughly three-hour outing, and the value comes from combining several appealing activities in one compact trip: open-water cruising, wildlife spotting, food, drinks, coastal views, and a swim stop.

The boat returns to the same meeting point at the end. Since the tour is near public transportation, you may find it simple to reach from the surrounding resort area, though the provided details do not specify a hotel pickup service. Plan to make your own way to Puerto Colón.

Searching the Atlantic between Tenerife and La Gomera

Once offshore, the boat heads across the Atlantic between Tenerife and La Gomera. This is the wildlife portion of the trip, with the crew looking for resident pilot whales and dolphins.

You should treat this as a wildlife search, not a guaranteed animal sighting. The tour is built around the chance to see marine life in its natural setting, and the presence of animals can never be promised. That said, the route is specifically chosen for the resident pilot whales and dolphins, making it more purposeful than a simple coastal boat ride.

This part also gives you some of the best photo opportunities. You can photograph your group with Tenerife behind you, capture the open sea, and watch for movement around the boat. Keep your camera ready, but do not let it take over the outing. A private charter is most enjoyable when you can put the phone down and pay attention to the water.

The Atlantic can also make the ride feel more active than a calm harbor cruise. If you are sensitive to motion, think carefully about how much open-water time suits you. The supplied information does not give sea conditions or specific motion-sickness advice, so bring anything you normally use for comfort if this is a concern.

The wildlife segment is especially valuable because it gives the trip a sense of place. You are not just being taken out for a drink on a boat. You are moving through the waters between two Canary Islands and looking for animals associated with this part of the Atlantic.

A secluded bay for swimming and snorkeling

After the wildlife search, the boat heads to a small secluded bay. This is where the outing slows down. You can stay aboard, stretch out on the bedded areas, enjoy the sun, or enter the clear Atlantic water for a swim.

Snorkeling is available, and the trip information refers to using diving goggles. The bay gives you a chance to see the water from a different angle, though no specific underwater species or equipment list is provided. You should not book this as a dedicated snorkeling expedition. Think of snorkeling as a pleasant extra during the swim stop.

The secluded setting is a strong part of the experience. A normal beach day in Tenerife can involve finding space on the sand and sharing the water with plenty of other people. Here, you reach the bay by boat and can enjoy the stop with your own group. That privacy is particularly useful if you are celebrating a birthday or organizing a day out with friends.

The swimming stop also helps break up the boat ride. Three hours on a speedboat can feel long if you remain seated the entire time. A swim, a few minutes with the goggles, and some time in the sun give the trip a better rhythm.

You should still check the practical details for your group. The water is described as crystal clear, but the information does not specify a ladder, changing facilities, showers, or the amount of time spent ashore. You will likely be spending the stop from the boat rather than visiting a developed beach, so wear swimwear under your clothes and bring only what you need.

Canarian snacks and drinks aboard the 3-hour sailing

The 3-hour version includes Canarian snacks, served by the crew. The trip information also mentions pizza in connection with one outing, but it does not promise a fixed menu for every departure. If food matters to you, ask what will be served when you book.

The drinks are a major part of the package. You get unlimited beer, wine, cava, and soft drinks during the sailing. This makes the charter easy for a group that wants a social afternoon without arranging separate food and drink purchases.

The vegetarian option is available, but you need to request it at booking. That is a small detail with real value. Do not wait until you board and assume the crew will be able to change the food at short notice.

I like that the food and drinks are included rather than treated as add-ons. You can settle into the boat and enjoy the route instead of keeping track of a running bill. Still, unlimited alcohol is not the same as unlimited drinking without consequences. You will be on a moving boat in the sun, so pace yourself and make water and soft drinks part of the afternoon.

The snacks also make this a more practical choice for a birthday or girls’ day out. One group of five enjoyed drinks, pizza, and time with the goggles during its trip, which gives you a useful idea of how the charter can work socially. The appeal is less formal dining and more relaxed food while the boat moves between stops.

What the private format means for your group

The boat is reserved for your group, with a maximum of 10 people. That is the central reason to compare this outing with a shared whale-watching cruise.

A shared boat may cost less per person, but a private charter gives you control over the social atmosphere. You can celebrate with family or friends without worrying about strangers in your photos. You also get a more personal setting with the crew, and Captain Adrian has been described as hospitable and easy to speak with.

The private format works best when the group is large enough to share the cost. At the listed price of $541.85, a full group of 10 pays about $54.19 per person. A group of five pays about $108.37 per person, while two people would pay the full group price between them. Those figures help explain who gets the strongest value.

For 8 to 10 people, the price can be reasonable given the private boat, drinks, snacks, wildlife search, and swim stop. For a couple or very small group, you may prefer a shared trip unless privacy is the main reason for booking.

The maximum group size is also worth checking against your plans. The activity is private, but it is not a private boat for an unlimited party. If you have more than 10 people, you would need to ask the provider about options rather than assume everyone can board together.

Returning along Tenerife’s coast

After the bay stop, the boat returns along the Tenerife coastline. This final section is less about a scheduled attraction and more about enjoying the views from the water.

The coastal ride gives you a calmer end to the outing after the open Atlantic and swimming stop. You can take more photos, finish a drink, and enjoy the coastline from a viewpoint that is impossible to get from the road.

Because the return is part of the boat trip, you do not need to arrange a second pickup from the bay. The activity ends back at the Puerto Colón meeting point. That simple finish is helpful if you have dinner plans or another activity later in the day, although you should leave some spare time since the duration is approximate.

Who gets the best value from this Tenerife charter?

I would choose this trip for a group that wants several easy pleasures in one outing. It suits friends planning a birthday, a small celebration, or a relaxed day on the water. The private setup, bedded areas, snacks, drinks, and swimming stop make it more social than a wildlife trip built only around spotting animals.

It also suits families, provided children are accompanied by an adult. The private setting can be less stressful than a busy shared boat, especially if your group wants to stay together. Still, the activity includes open-water cruising and swimming, so you should decide if those conditions fit your children before booking.

You will get the most from it if you want a balance of activity and downtime. The wildlife search gives the trip purpose, while the secluded bay lets you relax. If you want a serious marine biology excursion, a long snorkeling session, or a full-day sailing, this 3-hour charter may feel too short.

The experience is offered in English. Confirmation is provided at booking, and the activity is available to most participants. The supplied details do not give a full accessibility description, so ask the provider directly if anyone in your group has mobility or boarding needs.

Timing, weather, and cancellation

The trip is generally about three hours, but the exact meeting time is confirmed after booking. The information also refers to a 2 or 3-hour sailing, while snacks and swim time are specifically limited to the 3-hour option. Make sure your reservation clearly shows the duration you want.

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance are not accepted for a refund, and the cut-off follows local time.

Weather matters here. If poor conditions cancel the sailing, you are offered another date or a full refund. The activity also requires a minimum number of participants, and if that condition is not met, you are offered a different date or experience or a full refund.

The experience is booked through Pindoria Viajes SL. Since it is often reserved around 65 days ahead, I would not leave a popular holiday date until the last minute, especially if your group needs the full 10-person capacity.

Should you book this private Tenerife boat trip?

Book it if you have a group large enough to share the price and want privacy, drinks, a swim stop, and a chance to see pilot whales and dolphins in one outing. The strongest value comes with 8 to 10 people, when the cost per person drops to a more comfortable level.

I would also choose the 3-hour sailing rather than a shorter option if available. That is the version with Canarian snacks, the secluded-bay stop, swimming, and snorkeling. For a birthday or relaxed group celebration, the combination is hard to beat.

Think twice if you are traveling as only one or two people, need a guaranteed wildlife sighting, or want a long snorkeling session. The boat, weather, and wildlife all introduce variables. For the right group, though, this is a polished and easy-going way to spend part of a Tenerife day, with Captain Adrian’s friendly service adding a personal touch.
