Tenerife: VIP 3 hour Private Luxury Boat Charter Experience

Imagine cruising along Tenerife’s dramatic coastlines on a sleek, private boat, with a chilled glass of sparkling wine in hand, looking out for dolphins or sea turtles. That’s what you get with this VIP 3-hour private boat experience, offered by Roca Mar Tenerife. Starting in Costa Adeje’s Puerto Colon, this tour promises both relaxation and adventure, blending stunning scenery with the comfort of a luxurious vessel. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want a slice of authentic maritime magic, this experience ticks many boxes.

What we really love about this outing is the personalized service — being the sole focus of the boat and crew means you get to tailor your trip, and enjoy uninterrupted views. Plus, the inclusion of branded drinks and a platter of local delicacies makes it feel like a true taste of Tenerife’s hospitality. On the flip side, the 3-hour duration can feel a tad short if you’re eager to explore every hidden bay or snorkel longer, but that’s a small trade-off for a manageable half-day escape.

This tour is best suited for travelers who prioritize comfort, exclusivity, and photo opportunities. If you’re seeking a memorable, intimate experience with chances to spot marine life and enjoy the volcanic landscapes from the water, this outing delivers.

Starting Point and Setting Sail

Your adventure begins at the Gate at Pantalon 2 in Puerto Colon, the bustling hub in Costa Adeje. The meeting process is straightforward—someone from Roca Mar will greet you, leading you down to your private vessel. From here, the excitement builds as you step aboard your luxurious boat, with comfortable seating and plenty of space for sunbathing or photography.

The Journey Out to Sea

Once on deck, you’ll be handed a chilled glass of bubbles or soft drinks, setting a festive tone. The boat then gently cruises out into the Atlantic Ocean, with the captain keeping a keen eye out for local marine life. We loved the way the captain’s enthusiasm for wildlife added a personal touch—Thomas, one reviewer, called him the “Best Captain ever”—and you’ll likely share the sentiment as you watch for dolphins or sea turtles in the wild.

Marine Life and Scenic Highlights

The main thrill on this tour is the chance to see dolphins and sea turtles in their natural habitat. The open waters around Tenerife are a prime spot for marine life, and the captain’s experience helps maximize your chances of sightings. We appreciated the balance between active wildlife spotting and relaxing cruising — it’s not a high-pressure tour but one that feels authentic and spontaneous.

The boat then heads toward a secluded natural bay, where you’ll have the opportunity to swim and snorkel in crystal-clear waters. The pro snorkel equipment provided makes it easy to explore, and the scenery is truly picture-perfect. The volcanic landscape forms a stunning backdrop, and the calm waters invite you to linger longer. During your time ashore or in the water, the crew prepares a cold meat and cheese platter with local delicacies, enhancing the experience with authentic flavors.
