Hiring a boat is the ideal way to explore the 400km coastline of Tenerife in Spain. Tenerife is strategically located in the Canary Islands. Because it boasts of favorable trade winds, it is a port that is renowned in the areas of transatlantic travel. Tenerife has many secluded beaches followed by multiple picturesque marinas where you can find the ideal catamaran, sailboat, motor yacht or speedboat of your choice. You can directly contact the owners of the vessels or simply allow a BednBlue travel expert to guide you with some suggestions.
You have plenty of options:
You can book and hire a sailboat or speedboat with a skipper, or without if you own a license, and enjoy a one-day cruise along the unique coastline of Tenerife. With a motor boat you can tour various islands nearby including Lanzarote and Fuerteventura in a short amount of time. With a catamaran you can throw a party, go for a sunset cruise and even go dolphin watching. Finally, you can go island hopping in the Canary islands with a luxury yacht for the most memorable experiences.
Tenerife is the largest of the seven Canary Islands located in the Southwest of Spain. Christopher Columbus came across Tenerife when he was on his expedition to discover the New World. Several competitions, as well as sailing regattas, choose the Canary Islands as one of their stops as it is a place that is perfect for accessing supplies and seek assistance with repairs and maintenance. If you are looking to have a break from sailing you can go to the Teide National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also the national park that is most visited in Europe and boasts of lush forests. Right from La Esperanza’s lava plains to the lunar volcanic rock formations (Roques de García), this area is a very biodiverse place. Here you can star-gaze in the night or tour a winery. Lastly, Punta de Teno Peninsula is another must-visit place. It is located about 10 kilometres from Buenavista and is a rugged, rocky headland. It is the western point of the island and it is for those who are looking for a quiet time without too many people around. You can watch the active lighthouse sitting on the rocks or just take in the breathtaking views of La Gomera, La Palma, and the Teno Mountains from the bay. However, do look at the weather forecast before you set forth on this adventure as the roads close down in case of bad weather. Once you are ready for your yacht trip in Tenerife and have selected your favorite boat, you have an exciting trip ahead of you where you will get to experience a top vacation in Spain.
By renting a catamaran, sailboat, motor yacht or speedboat in Tenerife, you would ideally start your journey at Santa Cruz, which is the capital of Tenerife and is located 30 minutes away from the airport. Move to San Sebastian early the next morning which is situated on La Gomera and it was where Columbus began his first voyage. At Puerto de Playa Santiago, get acquainted with the local Gomera cuisine. This island is mostly unexplored when it comes to wild beauty. On the shore, you can view the gorgeous scenery of steep cliffs, beaches, and palm groves. The Garajonay National Park is another must-visit place here, as it houses clear waters and lush green forests. Puerta De Tazacorte, situated in La Palma, is another unmissable location. It is an island that was created because of a volcanic crater, and its coastline boasts of gloriously steep cliffs as well as black volcanic sands. La Palma is known as the 'Pretty Isle' by Canary Islanders as it is home to lush vegetation, clear waters as well as amazing flora, although its origin is traced back to volcanic forms. In La Restinga, situated in El Hierro, the scenery is spectacular above and below the water and hence, is ideal for snorkelers. Moreover, this is the smallest among the Canary Islands, and the residents are warm and cordial. When here, it would be a mistake not to visit Puerto de Valle Gran Reyiseros, in La Gomera, which is a gorgeous harbour. Next, Los Gigantes on Tenerife is popular for its lively marina and beautiful beach. When visiting Tenerife island, make sure that Las Galletas is your boat charter location, which will allow you to spend your day on the nearby beach. Here, there are several sites that would be perfect for snorkelling and diving from the deck of your catamaran, including Palm Mar and Yellow Mountain.
The southern part of the island must be your next part of the journey where you can go island-hopping in the Canary Islands for a week. At Parque Nacional del Teide, you can either hike amidst nature before sailing north to find Santa Cruz de Tenerife- your home for the night. Explore Santa Cruz de Tenerife the next morning, as it has a lot to offer, including beautiful architecture, interesting museums, and overwhelming nature. Inland is ideal for spending your afternoon, particularly San Cristóbal de la Laguna, which is listed by UNESCO. You may be interested in sailing east to reach the Gran Canaria, which is a moor situated in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Spend a day in Las Palmas, as it offers historic architecture and scenic views. Visit the 16th-century cathedral for a cathartic experience before learning something in one of its many museums. You can also visit Las Canteras Beach if you want to dive or snorkel. Inland, you will find breathtaking landscapes situated in the Canary Gardens. However, hiking here will take up the entire day. But any of the amazing restaurants in Las Palmas, including Deliciosa Marta or Que Leche, will be a great respite after a tiring day. Other ideas for your day-day to charter experiences include finding your way to the island of Fuerteventura where you can anchor in Morro Jable, situated in the south. There are several white-sand beaches in Fuerteventura, which are calm and isolated. As the sand around Fuerteventura stretches for several miles, you will find a calm spot somewhere. Upon sailing further north, you can anchor at the port of Corralejo, which is a good spot for lunch. The fishing village of Corralejo boasts of a scenic seashore promenade, many beautiful beaches, as well as scrumptious food. The island of Lanzarote, situated nearby, has several natural landscapes that are protected under UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. You can anchor at Puerto del Carmen, where you must check out its white-sand beach before eating at a seafront restaurant. You can continue sailing in the southern direction, along the eastern coast of Fuerteventura, and anchor close to Betancuria, popular for its historical value along with its beautiful architecture. Las Palmas and Las Galletas are other options where you can enjoy nature at the most beautiful seas in the world. In fact, you can watch whales and dolphins as well. The ecosystem at Tenerife is known to be one of the richest. There are several unspoiled bays along the way where you can swim or watch whales and dolphins. In fact, there are more than 29 species in the Canary Islands.
A private boat rental in Costa Adeje is also a great option for sailing enthusiasts. Regardless of your destination, you will be met with amazing scenic views, volcanic cliffs, and spectacular beaches. If you want to watch pilot whales and bottle-nose dolphins we recommend you to hire a professional skipper since they know the area very well. The secluded black-sand beach at the Port of Armenime is the ideal spot for snorkelling and diving. Under the hidden Masca cove, take a swim and compare it to the waters of the golden beach near Los Cristianos. You should also coast around the Los Gigantes to be blown away by its massive cliffs. Situated about 100 kilometres west of Morocco, this island is especially known for its warm weather, and as it is subject to strong trade winds off the Atlantic, this is a great region to surf and windsurf as the dormant volcano- Mt. Teide- is situated in the middle to offer a unique landscape. In fact, this is the highest peak in Spain, as it is about 4,000 meters high and is known to be the third-highest volcano in the world. It offers three different lookout points to enjoy diverse views of Tenerife. This is the perfect place to watch a sunrise as it results in the looming shadow of the mountain across the island. Overall, you have many things to do in Tenerife and a boat charter is the way where you can access many hidden gems in the Atlantic Sea. Your itinerary can be crafted to your liking, take the chance to go for an experience of a lifetime with the many boats the BednBlue platform offers.
