Small Group Tour vs. Private Charter in Tenerife

Not sure how long to spend on the water? Here is a clear comparison of our two most popular formats, the 4-hour Small Group Tour and the Private Charter (4 or 8 hours), so you can choose the experience that fits your group best.

SailTenerife offers a 4-hour Small Group Tour (max 12 guests, from €99/adult) and a Private Charter (4h from €1,100 or 8h from €2,200, whole boat exclusive). Both include a welcome drink, tapas, water and snorkelling gear from Marina San Miguel, Tenerife.

4-Hour Small Group Tour

The 4-hour Small Group Tour is our most popular experience. You get four hours on Tenerife's volcanic south coast, a welcome drink, tapas, a swim/snorkel stop and snorkelling gear, all at a fraction of the price of a private hire. Perfect for solo travellers, couples, and groups who enjoy meeting new people on the water.

Private Charter (4 or 8 Hours)

The Private Charter is the right choice when you want the catamaran entirely to yourself. Your group sets the pace and (weather permitting) the route. The 8-hour option gives you more time on the water and a more flexible departure. Ideal for families, celebrations, and groups who value complete privacy. Not to be confused with the Premium Escape, which adds a private chef, champagne and a Seabob.

FAQ

What's the difference between the Small Group Tour and a Private Charter in Tenerife?

The 4-hour Small Group Tour puts you on board with up to 12 other travellers at a fixed departure time, from €99/adult. The Private Charter reserves the entire catamaran (4h from €1,100 or 8h from €2,200) for your group only, with a more flexible schedule. Both include the same welcome drink, tapas, water and snorkelling gear.

Which tour is better for families with children?

Both tours welcome children of all ages. The 4-hour Small Group Tour is great for families who want to keep costs manageable. The Private Charter is ideal if you want complete flexibility: no fixed schedule and the ability to adapt the day to your children's needs.

Can I have tapas on both tours?

Yes. Tapas and drinking water are included on both the 4-hour Small Group Tour and the Private Charter. Hostess Mila serves a selection of fresh tapas on board.

Is the welcome drink included on both?

Yes, all SailTenerife experiences start with a welcome drink on arrival at Marina San Miguel.

What's the difference between the Private Charter and the Premium Escape?

The Private Charter (4h or 8h) has the same standard inclusions as the Small Group Tour, just privately and more flexibly. The Premium Escape adds a private chef, champagne, a Seabob and a full private day. See the Premium Escape page for details.
