Tenerife: Armani Charter with Snacks and Drinks 2-3-6 hours
Imagine cruising along Tenerife’s southern coast on a sleek, private yacht with the wind in your hair and the chance to spot dolphins and whales in their natural habitat. Whether you opt for 2, 3, or 6 hours, this experience offers a luxurious yet relaxed way to see some of the island’s most scenic waters. Starting from Puerto Colon, you’ll hop aboard the Armani, a comfortable mini yacht designed for small groups — making it an ideal adventure for families, couples, or friends traveling together.
We love how this tour combines the thrill of marine wildlife watching with the pleasure of swimming in crystal-clear waters and enjoying some tasty snacks and drinks. The friendly crew adds a personal touch, making sure every guest feels pampered. One of the biggest draws is the possibility of seeing dolphins and whales — a highlight that leaves many travelers utterly captivated. The flexible duration means you can tailor your day to suit your mood, whether that’s a quick escape or a leisurely afternoon on the water.
A potential consideration is that this tour doesn’t include hotel pickup or drop-off, so you’ll need to arrange your own transportation to the meeting point at Pantalan 2. Also, since the weather can influence marine activity, it’s wise to check conditions before you set sail. This experience is particularly well-suited for those who appreciate a mix of comfort, adventure, and natural beauty — perfect for travelers who enjoy wildlife, stunning scenery, and a laid-back atmosphere.

The Starting Point and Setting the Scene
The tour kicks off at Pantalan 2 in Puerto Colon, a popular marina area close to the southern beaches of Tenerife. From here, you’ll board the Armani, a yacht designed for intimacy and ease of movement.
