If you’re dreaming of a special evening in Tenerife, this Private Luxury Yacht Sunset Cruise might just be the highlight of your trip. For around $867 per group (up to 10 people), you’ll cruise out from Puerto Colon Marina aboard a sleek Beneteau Antares 42 yacht, enjoy champagne and snacks, and watch one of the world’s most spectacular sunsets. It’s a tailored experience designed for couples celebrating proposals, families marking birthdays, or anyone seeking a memorable afternoon on the water.
What we love most about this experience are two things: first, the stunning views of Tenerife’s coastline, which seem to glow as the sun dips lower; second, the personalized touches like champagne, snacks, and the chance for dolphin watching. It’s a well-balanced mix of relaxation and adventure that feels exclusive without being overly formal.
One thing to consider is that the cruise lasts about 2 hours, so if you’re looking for a longer or more active day on the water (like snorkeling or paddleboarding beyond the included equipment), you might need to look at their longer options. This tour is ideal for those who want a scenic, intimate experience with a touch of luxury—perfect for celebrating something special or just indulging in a peaceful escape.

Setting the Scene: From Puerto Colon to the Open Sea
The journey begins at Puerto Colon Marina, a well-equipped and lively harbor that feels both accessible and inviting. Arriving about 15 minutes early is recommended to ensure a smooth start. The yacht, a sleek Beneteau Antares 42, is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate your group of up to 10, with plenty of room to stretch out or gather together for those unforgettable sunset moments.
Once on board, you’re greeted by an experienced captain and crew who seem genuinely dedicated to making your experience unique. From the start, you can feel the anticipation build as you prepare to leave the busy harbor behind and head out into calmer waters.
The Journey Out: Coastal Views and Marine Life
As the yacht sets sail, the real magic begins. We loved the way the coastline of Tenerife unfolds before us—cliffs, beaches, and lush greenery all framed by a clear, blue sky. The trip includes opportunities for dolphin watching, so keep your eyes peeled—several reviewers have happily reported spotting these playful marine mammals, sometimes even a turtle or two.
The crew provides complimentary drinks and snacks, which include freshly prepared tapas, fruits, and a selection of beverages—wine, beer, or soft drinks. It’s a relaxed vibe, perfect for unwinding and soaking in the scenery. The music system adds a cheerful touch without overpowering the natural soundscape of waves and seagulls.
Sunset Spectacle: Capturing Tenerife’s Golden Hour
Perhaps the highlight of the cruise is watching the sun set over Tenerife’s coast. You’ll get a front-row seat from the deck, where you can sit back with a glass of champagne and marvel at the changing colors of the sky. Several reviews praise this moment as “one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world,” and it’s easy to see why.
The crew can also arrange for special touches—flowers, cakes, or even dinner—if you want to turn this into a celebration. It’s perfect for proposals, anniversaries, or just a romantic escape. The tranquil setting combined with the stunning views makes it a truly memorable experience.
