Costa Adeje: Private Yacht Trip with Watersports and Slides

Imagine spending a few hours on a spacious, well-equipped yacht along the stunning coastline of Tenerife, enjoying snorkelling, a waterslide, and a delicious, all-inclusive meal. For about $1,000 per group (up to 12 people), this 3.5-hour private yacht experience offers a perfect mix of fun, relaxation, and family-friendly activities. Departing from Puerto Colon, the Gulliver yacht glides you past scenic spots like the Acuatic Cave of PalmMar and Playa de las Vistas, making it a compact but comprehensive adventure.

What we particularly love about this trip is the blend of adventure and comfort—with water activities like the underwater scooter and paddleboarding, plus the chance to spot dolphins and marine wildlife. Another highlight is the all-inclusive food and drinks, which means you won’t need to worry about bringing your own supplies or rushing back ashore for snacks.

On the flip side, a potential consideration is the yacht’s age—while it’s a bit older, it’s clearly maintained well and offers a cozy, intimate setting perfect for families or small groups. The experience is best suited for those who enjoy watersports, scenic views, and relaxed sailing, especially if you’re traveling with kids or eager to indulge in fun water-based activities.

An In-Depth Look at the Yacht Experience

The Gulliver yacht, measuring approximately 20 meters long, is a sturdy vessel that might show a bit of its age but offers ample space and comfort for everyone onboard. Its departure point, Puerto Colon, is conveniently located, making it easy for travelers to meet up without extra fuss. We appreciate that this yacht now sails exclusively from Puerto Colon, which simplifies logistics and helps maintain a consistent experience.

The Itinerary and Stops

Your day begins at Tenerife Boats, where you’ll meet the crew. The first stop is Los Cristianos, a lively area perfect for a quick break, some photos, or a gentle walk. Here, the boat halts for about 1.5 hours, giving you enough time to relax, paddle, snorkel, or snap pictures of the coastline. According to reviews, this stop is also a highlight, with travelers mentioning dolphin sightings and the opportunity to enjoy water activities in calm, inviting waters.

The second part of the trip takes you past scenic spots en route back to Tenerife Boats. During this cruise, you’ll have the chance to savor the views of the coast and perhaps catch glimpses of local wildlife like dolphins or seabirds, adding a touch of magic to your day.

Water Sports and Fun on Board

The true selling point here is the array of water-based activities included. We loved the way the itinerary emphasizes not just sightseeing but active play—an underwater scooter, paddleboards, kayaks, water bikes, and the ever-popular waterslide. For families especially, these features make the trip a hit. As one guest shared, “The water slide was amazing and the water bike also contributed to everyone’s amusement,” which perfectly captures the joy of this experience.

Snorkelling gear is provided, allowing you to explore the seabed at your own pace, while the underwater scooter adds a dash of adventure. These activities are designed to be accessible yet exciting, making this a memorable experience regardless of your age or skill level.

Food, Drinks, and Relaxation

A significant advantage of this tour is the all-inclusive culinary experience. Expect a Canarian lunch featuring vegetarian rice, roast chicken, potatoes, salad, and bread—adequate for fueling your water activities and sightseeing. The drinks selection includes water, sodas, beers, white wine, and cava, which keeps everyone refreshed without the need to purchase anything extra.

Guests have praised the quality of the food and drinks, describing them as “very good” and adding to the relaxed, carefree atmosphere onboard. The emphasis on food and drinks ensures you won’t go hungry or thirsty during your time at sea, making it an especially good choice for families or groups who prefer a hassle-free adventure.

Considerations and Recommendations

While the yacht is slightly older, most guests find it perfectly suitable, especially given the comfort and the friendly crew. If you’re sensitive to boat age or prefer newer vessels, this is something to keep in mind. Also, note that the trip duration is just 3.5 hours—ideal for a half-day outing, but not if you’re looking for a full-day adventure.
