The Biosfera Jet slips away from Puerto del Carmen marina and the island’s black-lava silhouette falls astern as salt air and wind press against your face. Glassy bays, jagged cliffs and volcanic ridgelines pass by in quick succession while crew scan the horizon for dorsal fins — the Atlantic here is alive and always moving.

Bring sun protection
Canary sun is strong even on cloudy days — pack high-SPF sunscreen, a hat and UV-protective clothing for the deck and swim breaks.
Prepare for movement
The Biosfera Jet is a fast boat; if you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding and sit midship for a steadier ride.
Wear water-friendly shoes
Boarding can be slippery — lightweight, grippy water shoes make getting on and off the boat safer and more comfortable.

Rentals may be available but familiar equipment fits better — mask, snorkel and fins improve your swim time and comfort in the Atlantic.
