A private fishing charter in Tenerife means a fully rigged sport-fishing boat, a captain who works these waters daily, and nobody else's lines in the water. Four hours is enough for bottom fishing and light trolling along the coast; the 8-hour trip reaches the marlin grounds in the deep channel between Tenerife and La Gomera. Prices are per boat (usually 4–6 anglers), which makes a full day surprisingly reasonable when split. Tell us your date, group size and target species — we match you with an available licensed charter and you pay the captain directly.

Who it's for (and who it isn't)
For experienced anglers chasing marlin or tuna, and for groups of friends or families who want a private boat day with a purpose — kids can bottom-fish within 20 minutes of the harbour while adults troll. Split between 4–6 people, the per-person cost beats most shared big-game boats elsewhere in Europe. Not the right pick if you just want to try fishing once on a budget — a shared deep-sea trip at €40–90 per person will do that honestly well.
Honest tips before you book
- Blue marlin season runs roughly May to October; tuna are around most of the year.
- 8 hours doubles your realistic shot at billfish — the deep grounds are 60–90 minutes out.
- Ask about the boat's policy: most crews release billfish and let you keep table fish.
- Split a 4-hour charter between 4–6 friends and it costs less per head than many shared boats.
