Premium Yacht Private Charter: Whale & Dolphin Watching in Tenerife

An exclusive three-hour sailing experience on the Atlantic, with resident whales, dolphins, and a private swim stop in crystal-clear waters.


The private whale watching yacht charter Tenerife offers an intimate, fully catered voyage departing from Puerto Colon, designed for groups of up to ten guests seeking a genuine encounter with the resident cetaceans of the Atlantic.

Tenerife is one of the few places in the world where pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins can be observed throughout the year, making every departure a reliable opportunity to witness these animals in their natural environment. The private format means the route, pace, and time spent observing wildlife are shaped entirely by your group.

Beyond the wildlife, the charter includes a dedicated swim stop in a sheltered bay where guests can enter the remarkably clear Atlantic waters. Food and an open selection of drinks are provided throughout, creating a relaxed atmosphere from departure to return.
