This was a fantastic outing for the entire family. Captain Gui was amazing. He helped us find the pilot whales, which were really close to us for quite a while. Plus, he shared a ton of info about whale life, making the experience even more enriching. The rest of the morning included a soak in a cove, snorkeling, food and drinks, all of which were great. We wrapped up with a sparkling toast to cap off a wonderful morning. A day to remember!

We celebrated our 26th birthday on 24.06.2024. We wanted to mark this anniversary in a special way. We booked a 6-hour private trip for just the two of us and the skipper. We were not let down! In fact, there were a few hiccups with the Tripadvisor platform at first, but Paul, the owner of Tenerife Sailing Charters, was able to totally ease our fears and concerns over the phone in a very professional and friendly manner. At the meeting point, Paul and his skipper Guy greeted us right on time and courteously and showed us onto the boat. Right from the start, there were fresh fruits of high quality and a welcome drink. Captain Guy was super friendly and gave us a clear briefing. Then we set off, and it turned into an unforgettable experience! We spotted several schools of pilot whales just an arm's length from the boat, and Guy was careful to turn off the engine early enough to let the boat glide smoothly. We sailed for a long distance, which was a fantastic, relaxing experience. Guy guided us throughout the day with his expertise, good humor, and many stories about the island, sharing facts about the sea creatures in and on the water, always checking in to see if we were okay, making sure we weren't getting seasick. The snacks and meals were very good, prepared by Paul himself, which must have been quite a task given the amount and quality. We even got to see a sea turtle in its natural habitat, twice, thanks to Guy's experience and his quiet approach so as not to disturb it. Guy also managed to steer clear of the larger crowds of boats, making it a stress-free, relaxing, and truly luxurious experience for my wife and me. We were completely thrilled with this beautiful afternoon and are already thinking about repeating this trip next year for our 27th wedding anniversary with this company.

We were a group of 8 and reached out to Paul for the booking, he was super responsive and attentive (even with our late request, he arranged a cake for one of our birthdays the next morning). The return transport was set up via a private car (max 4 passengers), but for larger groups, they cover the round trip taxi or parking costs. Once we got to the port, we were picked up right away on a lovely sailboat with a fantastic selection of tapas and sandwiches plus unlimited drinks. The chances of spotting animals are nearly guaranteed here due to the high density of whales and dolphins, and that rang true for us. Our Captain Dani was very responsive to our needs and sought out the best spots to see them. Highly recommend!

We had a blast on the trip and saw dolphins, pilot whales, and a turtle. The turtle had fishing line and netting stuck around its neck. We managed to free the turtle from the debris, which was brilliant. We hope the turtle will have a long life now. The sea was quite choppy, and two of my family got seasick, which did put a damper on their experience. I'd recommend this trip, but I think the company should make sure guests know where to find life jackets and the first aid kit. It was a bit alarming that the captain didn't know where the first aid kit was.
