4-Hour Small Group Tour

The 4-hour Small Group Tour is our most popular experience — and for good reason. You get four hours on Tenerife's volcanic south coast, a welcome drink, tapas, a swim/snorkel stop and snorkelling gear, all at a fraction of the price of a private hire. Perfect for solo travellers, couples, and groups who enjoy meeting new people on the water.

Private Charter (4 or 8 Hours)

The Private Charter is the right choice when you want the catamaran entirely to yourself. Your group sets the pace and (weather permitting) the route. The 8-hour option gives you more time on the water and a more flexible departure. Ideal for families, celebrations, and groups who value complete privacy — not to be confused with the Premium Escape, which adds a private chef, champagne and a Seabob.

FAQ

Which tour is better for families with children?

Both tours welcome children of all ages. The 4-hour Small Group Tour is great for families who want to keep costs manageable. The Private Charter is ideal if you want complete flexibility — no fixed schedule and the ability to adapt the day to your children's needs.

Can I have tapas on both tours?

Yes. Tapas and drinking water are included on both the 4-hour Small Group Tour and the Private Charter. Hostess Mila serves a selection of fresh tapas on board.

Is the welcome drink included on both?

Yes — all SailTenerife experiences start with a welcome drink on arrival at Marina San Miguel.

What's the difference between the Private Charter and the Premium Escape?

The Private Charter (4h or 8h) has the same standard inclusions as the Small Group Tour, just privately and more flexibly. The Premium Escape adds a private chef, champagne, a Seabob and a full day of curated luxury — see the Premium Escape page for details.
