An In-Depth Look at the Experience

What Makes This Private Motorboat Charter Stand Out?

This experience combines the best of luxury and adventure on Tenerife’s waters. The boat itself is a Beneteau Antares 42, a sleek and comfortable vessel well suited for exploring the coast while offering ample space to relax, sunbathe, or socialize. The crew, led by professional captains like Juan, Eduardo, and Paul—who have been praised by guests—are friendly, attentive, and eager to make your trip special.

Why Private Matters

Unlike shared tours, a private charter guarantees exclusivity. You won’t be part of a large crowd, and the experience is tailored to your group’s preferences. Whether you want a laid-back day with plenty of swimming and lounging or an active adventure with paddleboarding and snorkeling, this trip adapts to your mood. You also avoid the typical hustle of crowded excursions, making it ideal for special occasions or just a stress-free day.
