    Luxury Private Yacht Charter in Tenerife

    This cruise is an ideal opportunity for relaxation in the ocean on a comfortable yacht. Suitable for a romantic date for a couple, and for relaxing with family or friends. This cruise is often booked to celebrate a birthday or a party with family or friends. Compared to a restaurant, celebrating on a yacht is prestigious, unusual and cheaper (do not forget that alcohol and meals are included in the price).

    The program can be changed depending on your preferences. You are the owner of this luxury yacht for the time of charter, and you are to decide where to go and what to do.

    Speed ​​matters! Instead of long and for many dreary transitions, you have the opportunity to spend more time relaxing without sea legs. This is especially important for those who suffer from motion sickness. With our speed, we can choose at our discretion a bay for relaxation, which is important for lovers of wild beaches and those who do not like crowds of boats and people around. Also, the speed provides more opportunities for searching and observing marine life and fishing during the transition.

    And finally, which is very important for those who value comfort, this is a real mini-hotel on the water. Unlike budget sailing yachts, our boat has a lot of space for relaxing and sunbathing for a group of up to 8 people.  The yacht is equipped with a music system with sound output in all areas. For tanning, the platforms on the bow and on the fly deck are equipped with soft mattresses. You do not need to bring your own towels to the yacht – everything you need for a comfortable stay will be offered on the yacht.
