A private yacht charter is the flagship Tenerife experience: your own motor yacht, a captain who knows every cove between Costa Adeje and Los Gigantes, and a day built around you — whale watching in the channel, anchoring under the cliffs, lunch and drinks on board. Half-day charters (3–4h) start around €800–1,200 and full days €1,500–2,500 depending on the yacht size, usually for 8–12 guests — split between a group, it compares surprisingly well with per-person excursion prices. We match you with a licensed charter operator and you pay them directly.

Who it's for (and who it isn't)
Families celebrating something, groups of 6–12 friends, proposals and honeymoons — any occasion where privacy matters. Split between 10 guests, a full day lands at €150–250 per person for an experience no shared boat can match. If you just want whales on a budget, the shared €25–45 trips do that honestly; the yacht is about the whole day being yours.
Honest tips before you book
- Per-yacht pricing means bigger groups get better value — fill the boat.
- The full-day Los Gigantes route is the one people talk about for years.
- Tell the operator about occasions — crews routinely handle proposals and birthdays discreetly.
- Book early for July–September: the good yachts sell out weeks ahead in high season.
