The boat eases out of Puerto Colón and the island drops into a lower horizon. Salt and diesel mix in the air, the Atlantic spitting small whitecaps against the hull as the captain trims speed to punch through a swell; you feel the current already testing the lines.

The boat eases out of Puerto Colón and the island drops into a lower horizon. Salt and diesel mix in the air, the Atlantic spitting small whitecaps against the hull as the captain trims speed to punch through a swell; you feel the current already testing the lines.
Tenerife’s waters are shaped by volcanic slopes that fall steep and sudden into deep ocean, which concentrates pelagic species close to shore. Local fishing has long been part of island life — a practical culture born of trade, migration and a reliance on the sea. On this four‑hour charter Captain Gavin brings 25 years of local knowledge: how thermoclines change with the season, where tuna stack against underwater canyons, and when a marlin will bite at dawn.
You fish from a 25' offshore sportfisher built for speed and utility — outriggers, live bait tank, downriggers and a fighting chair make the trip hands‑on and instructive. Expect a working boat rather than a luxury yacht: this is about catching, learning, and reading the ocean.
Practicalities: departures from Puerto Colón, all gear and licenses are provided, and snacks and bottled water are included. Morning trips usually offer calmer seas and better light; bring sun protection, non‑slip shoes and motion‑sickness remedies if you’re prone. The trip accommodates up to six guests and is suitable for beginners and experienced anglers alike, though it demands moderate fitness and mobility for hauling and standing.
Leave with a clearer sense of Tenerife’s marine life, a few new techniques, and possibly your personal best on the line.
