Seven people, one sailboat, the whole afternoon to yourselves

You get a private sailboat for up to seven people in Tenerife South, with a crew that speaks three languages and knows the local waters. Lunch and snorkeling gear are included; you choose the stops and the pace. The boat is small enough to feel intimate and large enough to bring everyone who matters, which is what makes a day on the water feel like your own instead of a tour.

The Experience

What draws you to a private charter instead of a crowded boat tour? Maybe it's the thought of choosing where to stop, or the quiet of having the crew's attention, or just the relief of not sharing a deck with forty strangers. Galatea Sailing operates out of Tenerife South with boats that hold a maximum of seven passengers — small enough that you're not managing a group, large enough that you can bring the people who matter. The crew has over twenty years navigating these waters, from the Canary Islands down to Africa and across the Mediterranean, and they speak English, Spanish and Italian, so there's no fumbling through translations when you want to ask about a route or a stop.

You decide what the day looks like. Some people want to sail to a quiet cove for snorkeling — the gear is provided, so you don't pack it — and then anchor for lunch while the crew prepares food onboard. Others use the time for a sunset sail, or to mark an anniversary away from the noise of the resort. The boat works for honeymoons, birthdays, business trips, or just a day when you want the sea without the crowds. Because the group stays small, the crew can adapt: if you want to linger at one spot, you linger; if the wind shifts and a different route makes sense, that becomes the plan. Lunch and snacks are included, which means you're not hunting for a restaurant or eating what a buffet line offers.

The boat is wheelchair accessible, and the crew will work with families traveling with infants or small children — they understand the logistics of a day on the water with young kids. All fitness levels are welcome; you're on a sailboat, not hiking, so the physical demand is whatever you make it. If you want to customize the itinerary for a special event or have questions about what a particular day might include, you contact the crew directly and they build it around what you're after.

What’s included

Your day includes lunch and snacks prepared onboard, snorkeling equipment for the group, and the crew's full attention to customize the route and stops around what you want. The boat holds a maximum of 7 passengers, so the experience stays intimate and the crew can adapt the plan if conditions or your preferences shift during the day.

Is this one for you?Book this if you want a day on the water in Tenerife South without the logistics of arranging transport, food, and snorkeling gear separately, and without sharing the boat with a crowd — the small group size and included lunch mean you're free to relax instead of manage.
