Private Boat Trip Tenerife With Atlantic Star
Hire the Atlantic Star sailing yacht exclusively for your own group. Depart from Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje and enjoy whale and dolphin watching, swimming, food, drinks and plenty of time to relax without sharing the boat with strangers.
Booking ahead? Website visitors can try code STARONLINE when booking online for a small extra saving on the online payment.
The Difference Is Simple: The Whole Boat Is Yours
On a shared whale watching trip, you join other guests. On an Atlantic Star private boat trip, the entire sailing yacht is reserved for your group.
That changes the atmosphere completely. You decide who comes aboard. You have more room to relax, take photos, enjoy drinks, celebrate something special or simply spend a quiet day on the ocean.
The Atlantic Star is particularly comfortable for families, couples and groups who want a personal boat trip from Costa Adeje without hiring a large luxury motor yacht.
- Your group only
- Up to 10 guests
- Captain and host included
- Whale and dolphin watching
- Swimming and snorkel equipment
- Food and drinks included
- Optional food and celebration upgrades
Whales, Dolphins And A Boat That Can Legally Look For Them
Atlantic Star is licensed for responsible whale and dolphin watching in Tenerife. That makes it a strong choice if marine life is one of the main reasons you want to rent a private boat.
Resident Pilot Whales
Pilot whales live in the waters between Tenerife and La Gomera throughout the year and are the species most regularly seen.
Dolphins
Several dolphin species visit the south coast too. Their appearance is always a bonus because these are wild animals.
Responsible Watching
The goal is to observe wildlife without chasing, feeding or disturbing it. Swimming with whales and dolphins is not allowed.
Want Extra Peace Of Mind About Seeing Marine Life?
When the Atlantic Star private charter is booked through Club Canary, an optional whale and dolphin sighting guarantee may be available in the booking process.
If seeing whales or dolphins is the main reason for your private boat hire in Tenerife, check the guarantee option and current conditions when booking. The guarantee is provided through Club Canary and is separate from the standard Atlantic Star charter.
3 Hours Or 6 Hours?
Both trips are private. The main difference is how far you want to explore and how much time you want on the ocean.
3 Hour Private Boat Trip
- Whole Atlantic Star for your group
- Up to 10 guests
- Excellent choice for whale and dolphin watching
- Time for swimming when conditions allow
- Food and drinks included
- Ideal for families, couples and smaller celebrations
6 Hour Private Boat Trip
- Whole Atlantic Star for your group
- Up to 10 guests
- More time for wildlife and sailing
- Longer swim and relaxation time
- Possibility to explore farther along Tenerife’s west coast
- A strong option when Los Gigantes is part of the plan
Want an even longer private day? Ask us before booking. Longer arrangements may be possible depending on the date, crew and sailing conditions.
Wildlife Is Never Scripted
The resident pilot whales are the animals you are most likely to see. Dolphins are also regularly encountered. On exceptional days, other species can appear too.
The sperm whale photo beside this text is real, but it should not create the wrong expectation. A sperm whale is a special encounter, not something we promise on every private trip.
That is what makes whale watching real. Nobody controls the ocean. The crew simply uses experience, local knowledge and responsible boating to give you the best opportunity.
Eat, Drink And Make The Trip Yours
Standard food and drinks are included on the private Atlantic Star charter. For a birthday, family celebration or special day, you can upgrade the food and make the trip more personal.
Included
- Sandwiches and snacks
- Water and soft drinks
- Beer
- White wine
- Sangria
- Cava
Optional Extras
- Pizza
- Paella
- Sushi
- Birthday cake
- Champagne
- Special celebration requests
Add special food or celebration wishes while booking whenever possible. This gives the crew enough time to prepare everything before departure.
Families, Couples And Special Occasions
Families
A private boat gives families room to relax together without dealing with a large group of strangers.
Friends And Celebrations
Birthdays, small celebrations and relaxed days with friends work perfectly on a private sailing yacht.
Couples
Couples often book Atlantic Star for anniversaries or a special day together. For the most romantic timing, consider the separate sunset cruise.
Friendly, Personal And Multilingual
Atlantic Star is known for relaxed personal service. Esther hosts many trips and is Dutch. She speaks Dutch, German, English and Spanish.
This is especially useful for Dutch and German families who prefer to ask questions in their own language.
Start Your Trip In Costa Adeje
Atlantic Star departs from Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje, one of the main marinas in the south of Tenerife.
It is easy to reach from Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos. Your booking confirmation contains the exact meeting point and arrival information.
Please arrive with enough time to board calmly. A private charter reserves the boat for your group, but arriving late can still reduce the time available on the ocean.
