Catamaran Tour Tenerife

A catamaran tour in Tenerife is the middle option between a small kayak and a party boat: a wide, steady deck, drinks and a swim. I compared three, from $39 to $72, and they cover whales and dolphins, snorkelling and a sunset. For every other kind of boat I compared, my guide to boat tours in Tenerife has the full list. Prices are in US dollars, checked in October 2026, and the booking links are affiliate links, as I explain on my about page.

My pick is the Eden catamaran at $39: 2 to 3 hours from Puerto Colón, rated 4.7 from 4,247 reviews, with free drinks. For the evening, the Monte Cristo at $72 adds tapas and a hotel transfer. For snorkelling, the Kalima Kat at $51 includes the gear.

Tenerife Catamaran Trips

Tenerife catamaran trips differ mostly in what they add to the sail. The Eden catamaran is a wildlife trip first: the crew look for pilot whales and dolphins 2 or 3 miles off the coast, the price includes free drinks, and the 3-hour option adds a swim and snorkelling stop. It meets at Pier 4 in Puerto Colón, where you look for the boat named Eden Catamaran. Reviewers say the crew explained things patiently and played music on board.

It is also on my page on whale watching in Tenerife, where I compare it with three other wildlife boats. I put it here too because it is a catamaran with free drinks, which is the combination people look for when they search for a catamaran trip.

Tenerife Catamaran Trip

A Tenerife catamaran trip with snorkelling is the Kalima Kat from Coover Canarias. It costs $51 for 3 hours and is rated 4.4 from 342 reviews. It leaves from Puerto Colón, and the listing says the sail passes the beaches of Fañabe and Torviscas, with Mount Teide in the view, before a cove at Veril Beach for snorkelling. The price includes snacks, beer, soft drinks and water, a solarium, a captain and a deckhand, and pickup and drop-off.

Reviewers like the smaller feel. One wrote that they saw dolphins, turtles and a hammerhead shark swimming at the surface, and another said it suits anyone who wants a relaxing trip with fewer people and no partying. The rating is lower than Eden’s, so I’d rank it second for most people and first if you want to snorkel on a catamaran.

Catamaran Tenerife Costa Adeje

Costa Adeje catamarans leave from Puerto Colón, and both Eden and Coover Canarias use it. The harbour is about 1.5 kilometres from the Siam Park coordinates in a straight line, by my calculation from the place data, so the water park and the pier are on the same stretch. Puerto Los Cristianos is 3.8 kilometres south-east, which is why a hotel pickup matters when you are not staying right on the harbour.

If you are comparing a catamaran in Tenerife with a motorboat, the main difference is the deck: you can walk around and lie on the net or solarium, and the ride is steadier. That matters for children and for guests who worry about seasickness, though no listing in my data promises that nobody gets ill. The Travelin’ Lady is a yacht rather than a catamaran, so it sits on the dolphin watching page.

Tenerife Catamaran Cruise

The Monte Cristo sunset catamaran is the one I’d call a cruise. It costs $72 for 3 hours, is rated 4.7 from 969 reviews and includes a hotel transfer, a buffet of local tapas, fruit and sweets, unlimited alcoholic and soft drinks and three crew. The listing promises Atlantic views, a chance to watch whales and dolphins and a Tenerife sunset. Reviewers mention whales close to the boat, good music and a boat that wasn’t too busy.

The complaint to know about is the food: one reviewer said most of it was gone by the time they came back from swimming. I’d eat early in the trip. The listing gives no meeting point in my data, so the confirmation matters. It is the dearest of the three, but the only one that includes food and a transfer.

Choosing the Month for a Sunset Catamaran

Sunset times in Tenerife change by almost three hours over the year, so the same 3-hour sunset catamaran can end in daylight or well after dark. The table below is my calculation from the sunrise-sunset.org service for the Los Cristianos coordinates, shown as local clock time (Atlantic/Canary, with daylight saving time) for the 15th of each month. In mid-June the sun sets at 9:06 PM, and in mid-December at 6:14 PM. Canary Islands clocks go back on the last Sunday of October, which is 25 October 2026. You can check any date with the NOAA solar calculator.

Month	Sunset (mid-month)	Month	Sunset (mid-month)
January	6:34 PM	July	9:06 PM
February	6:58 PM	August	8:46 PM
March	7:16 PM	September	8:13 PM
April	8:33 PM	October	7:39 PM
May	8:50 PM	November	6:15 PM
June	9:06 PM	December	6:14 PM

The Monte Cristo listing doesn’t give its departure times in my data, so these figures do not tell you when it sails; they tell you when to expect the light to change. Check the start time on the booking page for your date, and think about whether you want the swim before or after the sun goes down.

Booking a Tenerife Catamaran

When you book a catamaran in Tenerife, the thing to check is what you are paying for on top of the sail. Eden gives you free drinks and wildlife, Coover Canarias gives you a cove and snorkelling gear, and Monte Cristo gives you food and a transfer. At $39, $51 and $72, a Tenerife catamaran trip is a good value if you use what is included.

I’d also check the boat’s size and who it suits. The Coover Canarias listing excludes wheelchair users, and none of the three listings in my data says how many guests the catamaran carries, so ask if a crowded deck would bother you. The quieter catamaran trips in Tenerife are reviewed as smaller-group experiences, but the Eden and Monte Cristo reviewers also called their trips friendly and not too busy.

Which Catamaran I’d Book

My short answer for a catamaran in Tenerife is the $39 Eden catamaran, because 4,247 reviewers rate it 4.7 and it includes free drinks. Here is how I’d decide:

• Best all-round: the $39 Eden catamaran, 2 to 3 hours.
• Snorkelling: the $51 Kalima Kat, 3 hours, gear included.
• Evening: the $72 Monte Cristo, 3 hours, tapas and unlimited drinks.
• A party instead: see the party boats in Tenerife.
• Private: see boat rental in Tenerife for a skippered yacht.

Before you book a Tenerife catamaran, check the pier, the departure time for your date and the cancellation text, which is free up to 24 hours on all three. Choose a trip above and use the booking links to see availability, or see everything in Tenerife boat tours. If you want a guided swim in a reserve instead, see snorkelling in Tenerife.
