Overview

Experience Tenerife's coastline in complete privacy aboard the elegant Galatea Sailing Yacht. Unlike larger boat excursions, this exclusive private charter is reserved entirely for you and your guests, allowing you to enjoy a relaxed sailing experience at your own pace with a professional skipper and crew dedicated solely to your group.

Departing from Puerto Colón, your charter sails into the protected waters between Tenerife and La Gomera, one of Europe’s best locations for whale and dolphin watching. Home to resident pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins throughout the year, these waters offer an excellent opportunity to observe marine wildlife in its natural habitat. As a Blue Flag (Barco Azul) certified operator, Galatea follows strict conservation guidelines to ensure every encounter is carried out responsibly and respectfully.

As you continue your cruise, the yacht anchors in a beautiful bay where you can swim in the crystal-clear Atlantic Ocean or snorkel amongst Tenerife’s colourful marine life. While you relax on deck, the crew will serve freshly prepared food together with an open bar, allowing you to enjoy premium refreshments while taking in spectacular views of Tenerife’s coastline.

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, honeymoon or simply looking for a luxurious day at sea with family or friends, the Galatea Private Whale & Dolphin Sailing Charter offers one of the most exclusive and memorable boat experiences available in Tenerife.
