Private Boat Tour on Royal Ocean Yacht, Tenerife

About this tour

Explore Tenerife's waters aboard a spacious motor yacht with a crew of two, built for comfort and adventure. This three-hour private charter takes you into waters where whales breach naturally, followed by a snorkelling stop at anchor with full gear provided. You'll cruise past the dramatic Los Cristianos Cliffs—riddled with caves and frequented by dolphins—whilst enjoying lunch, drinks, and the boat's multiple decks. Ideal for couples seeking a sunset escape or groups wanting exclusive ocean time.

What to expect

You'll board a well-appointed yacht crewed by two professionals who handle both service and seamanship. The first hour or so focuses on whale spotting as you motor into deeper waters—sightings are frequent enough that the operator rates them likely. Once the captain identifies a good snorkel site, the yacht drops anchor and you'll enter the water with full equipment. The return leg skirts the Los Cristianos Cliffs, where rocky outcrops and caves create dramatic scenery and occasional dolphin sightings. Food and drinks flow throughout; pace yourself if you're prone to seasickness, though the vessel's size minimises motion.

Good to know

Bring seasickness medication if you're susceptible—the captain won't wait for symptoms to appear. The boat has two bathrooms and air conditioning below deck. Towels and snorkelling kit are provided. Gratuities aren't included. Public transport serves the departure point, and the tour suits all fitness levels.
