Hiring a yacht in Tenerife with Océans Evasion
The largest island in the Canary archipelago, Tenerife, has a large quantity of black and white sand beaches for you to visit, such as Playa de la Tejita, as well as being a hotspot for water sports, such as windsurfing and kitesurfing. The beautiful coasts and landscapes make Tenerife a major boating destination and the plethora of areas to hike means that you will never be lost for things to do. If you want to extend your adventure even more, you can also visit the other Canary Islands: La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro. Each of these is an autonomous community with its own character and a wide range of hidden coves just waiting to be discovered. All of the Canary Islands also have a long sailing season, with idyllic weather conditions throughout the year, making a yacht charter in Tenerife all the more enticing.
During your yacht hire in Tenerife, you should be sure to not only explore the surrounding Atlantic Ocean, but also pay a visit to Mount Teide, the third highest volcano in the world, and Tenerife’s highest peak. One thing is for sure, a boat hire in Tenerife is always going to be a spectacular holiday experience full of fun memories that last forever.
What is the price of a yacht hire in Tenerife?
There are many factors that contribute to the cost of a yacht hire such as the type of boat, the number of people on board, the seasonality, and the duration of your trip. The price is also likely to increase if you add extra amenities such as cooking, cleaning, and activities. In general, the prices are as follows:
A RIB for 10 people is around £445 per day all year round.
A motorboat for five people is £350 per day throughout the year.
A sailboat for 12 people is around £2,639 per week throughout the year.

What kind of yacht should I charter?
Choosing a type of yacht can be a hard decision, but with such great variety, we can help you find your perfect match! If you are planning on visiting Tenerife for a few days and just want to hire a yacht for a day or two, people typically charter RIBs and motorboats! However, if you are looking to hire a yacht for around a week or more, people tend to choose sailboats and catamarans as they can be more spacious. This being said, the choice is yours! Explore your options to see what is right for you.
What is the best time to visit Tenerife?
Tenerife experiences a subtropical oceanic climate, which means that it is warm and sunny for most of the year. However, there are northeast trade winds that make the northern side of the island more humid. If you want to experience the true heat, then you should visit Tenerife during the summer where the temperatures can reach 30 degrees Celsius. Our only suggestion is to avoid months such as October and February when the island experiences higher chances of rain.
Should you hire a yacht with or without a skipper?
So, you’ve decided that you want to charter a yacht in Tenerife but don’t know whether you want to rent with or without a skipper. While it is absolutely your choice, we believe that setting sail with a skipper is an unforgettable experience and well worth the extra expense. Your skipper is likely to be a local sailor who will know all of the best hidden secrets of the island and can create an itinerary that will appeal to everyone travelling. Moreover, if you charter a yacht with a skipper, they will take care of the technical aspects of sailing the boat as well as potentially teach you more about sailing, if that’s what you want. If you have no desire to learn how to sail and simply want a relaxing holiday on the waves, no problem! Simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the sensation of the wind rushing through your hair and the waves gently lapping against the side of the boat.
