A fantastic private trip - Our Captain for the day, Maxi, was amazing! Made us feel very welcome and was a great host to out family of 4 adults (parents and grandparents) and 2 children (aged 8 and 6). Took us out to find pilot whales before swimming in a secluded bay. After swimming in crystal clear water with lots of fish we leisurely sailed back to harbour. Amazing from beginning to end.

Great family experience! - A fantastic experience for the whole family. Captain Gui was outstanding. It led us to find the pilot whales, which were very close to us for a long time. Besides, he gave us a lot of information about whale life, which made the experience more enriching. The rest of the morning: bath in a cove, snorkeling, food and drink, all great. We finish with a sparkling toast to finish off a great morning. To remember!

Unforgettable wedding day - We had our 26th birthday on 24.06.2024. They wanted to celebrate this anniversary in a special way. We booked a 6-hour private trip. Just the two of us and the skipper. We were not disappointed! On the contrary. Initially there were a few problems with the Tripadvisor platform, but Paul the owner of Tenerife Sailing Charters was able to absolutely dispel all fears and worries by phone very professionally and kindly. At the specified meeting point we were greeted extremely punctually and courteously by Paul and his skipper Guy and guided onto the boat. Right at the beginning there were fresh fruits of high quality and a welcome drink. Guy the captain is very friendly and has briefed us first easily understandable. Then it started and it became an unforgettable experience! We saw several pilot whale schools only at arm's length from the boat and Guy always took great care to turn off the engine early enough and let the boat just glide. We only sailed a long distance, which was a fantastic, relaxing experience. Guy guided us through the day very well, informatively and interestingly with his expertise, his good humor and many stories about the island, facts about the sea creatures in and on the water, always attentively asking if we were okay, not that we were still getting seasick. The snacks and food were very good, prepared by Paul himself, which was certainly a lot of work considering the amount and quality. We were also allowed to admire a sea turtle in its element, twice, again because Guy is very experienced and has approached sufficiently quietly not to disturb it unnecessarily. Guy also managed to sail pretty much out of the way of the larger gatherings of other boats, so it was also absolutely stress-free, relaxing and a really luxurious experience for my wife and me. We were absolutely thrilled with this beautiful afternoon and are already considering this trip possibly next year to our 27th. Wedding anniversary to repeat with this company.

Excellent Sailing Tour with Awesome Captain Dani!! - The best part were the whales and dolphins and the super knowledgeable and thoughtful Captain Dani! I forgot my water bottle on the boat and he ran it over to the taxi to catch me before I left. The tour included info about the area and the beautiful animals we were looking at. Super nice people very comfortable atmosphere. Captain Dani put up the sails halfway through and it was a pleasant change. We even got to stop fora swim! Excellent tour!!

Magical day on the water. - Wonderful day out to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Guy, our caption for the day, was the incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the environment and sailing. We felt like friends at the end of the trip! On the day we sailed there was a significant onshore breeze so we couldn’t anchor or swim, but more than made up for by the whale and dolphin sightings and the conversation. Thoroughly recommended. Especially for those who enjoy what Tenerife has to offer.

Incredible family boat trip - This was our 3rd time with this company. Every time the service and experience has been incredible hence using them repeatedly. The new boat has taken it to a new high level not that there was anything wrong with the previous boat but the new one was a real treat. Will be using next time in Tenerife (next year) and more than likely time and time again.

Outstanding experience - Having booked with Paul previously we knew what to expect from our morning trip. However our expectations were exceeded yet again. This is a family run business who truly put customer satisfaction first. From the Dolphins and incredible Whales to the amazing views we had a non stop adventure that thrilled and amazed. Thank you to you and your staff for helping us make such great memories.

Faultless - My wife and I were picked up from our apartment and driven by the owner, Paul, to a lovely harbour. We were met by Paul’s wife and introduced to our captain,Jose. A glass of bubbly later and we were on board a yacht and heading out to sea. Within 20 minutes we saw some dolphins and a short time later, the first of several Pilot Whales. It was wonderful to be so close to these elegant mammals. We stopped for lunch and a swim in a small cove before heading back to the harbour. All drinks and lunch were included but to be honest, we were too busy enjoying the experience to pile into the well stocked fridge! Paul ran us back to hotel and it was the perfect way to spend a Friday morning. I can’t recommend this charter highly enough. And no, I don’t work for Paul...

Wildlife was beautiful. - We enjoyed the trip and saw dolphins, pilot whales and a turtle. The turtle had fishing line and netting caught around its neck. We managed to free the turtle from the debris which was brilliant. We hope the turtle will live a long life now. The sea is very choppy and two of my family became sea sick. This did spoil the trip for them. I would recommend this trip but I would like to recommend to the company running the trip to ensure that the guests are told where to find life jackets and first aid kit. It was somewhat alarming that the captain did not know where the first aid kit was.
