Why a Private Yacht in Tenerife Is the Best Way to Spend the Day

If you’re heading to Tenerife and not doing a boat day, you’re doing it wrong. This was hands-down one of the best things we booked abroad — super relaxing, low-key fancy, and way more private than any boat tour we’ve done before.

Here’s exactly why this one hits different:

You Board from a Chill Marina (No Crowds, No Chaos)

The boat leaves from Las Galletas — way more local and peaceful than the usual touristy ports. It felt like a hidden spot only people in-the-know use. You hop on, kick your shoes off, and boom — you're on a private yacht with your friends, sailing straight into a perfect day.

Dolphins and Whales Are Just… There

We legit didn’t expect this part, but within 20 minutes we were watching dolphins and even saw a whale. The captain slowed down so we could get close, take photos, and just sit in silence watching them do their thing. It was wild.

The Vibes = Sun, Snorkel, and Your Own Lunch Set-Up

After cruising and spotting sea life, they anchored in a quiet bay where we swam, snorkeled, and tanned on the front of the boat. Meanwhile, the sailor was setting up lunch — actual food, not “here’s a sandwich and a Coke” energy. It felt like we were living someone else’s life.

Glass of wine. Full sun. Good music. You get it.

The Cliffs and Caves Are Next-Level

On the way back, you sail past these massive cliffs near Los Cristianos. You get super close, and they even pull into a cave if the water’s calm enough. 


Final TakeIf you’re doing Tenerife, lock this in. It’s not just a boat day — it’s dolphins, snorkeling, food, drinks, and that abroad-flex energy all wrapped into one. Probably the most peaceful and still somehow iconic day of the trip.
