If you’re dreaming of spending a few hours at sea, surrounded by the stunning coastline of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, this 3.5-hour fishing adventure offers a perfect balance of excitement and relaxation. For $91 per person, you’ll join a small group—up to seven people—on a well-equipped boat, led by an experienced captain, with the hope of catching everything from marlin and tuna to barracudas and sharks. This trip promises more than just fishing; it’s a chance to enjoy beautiful coastal views, marine wildlife, and a laid-back day on the water.
What we love most about this experience is the personalized approach—small groups mean plenty of individual attention—and the variety of fishing techniques available, from trolling to bottom-fishing, which keeps the experience lively. Plus, the chance to stop in cozy bays for a swim adds a refreshing touch. On the flip side, if you’re expecting to make a big haul or to fish with intense competition, keep your expectations realistic—sometimes the sea just doesn’t cooperate.
This trip is perfect for families, friends, or solo travelers who want a taste of authentic deep-sea fishing without the hefty price tag. It’s especially suitable for those interested in marine life and coastal scenery, as reviewers highlight both the professional guides and the stunning views.
