Romantic sunset cruise
About this experience
An evening on the water instead of another hotel dinner. You leave Puerto Colón with the sun already low and return once it has dropped below the horizon. There are no more than 12 people aboard, so this is a calm sail rather than a party boat.
What you do on this cruise
The boat leaves the harbour in Costa Adeje at around 18:30 or 19:00, depending on the month, and heads along the south coast. The whole trip lasts 2.5 to 3 hours, because its length is set by sunset, and that shifts through the year.
On the way you see the island’s beaches and cliffs from the water, in light that changes colour every few minutes at this hour. It is the best moment of the day for photos from the deck, because the sun comes in at an angle rather than straight into the lens.
There are snacks and drinks for everyone aboard. Along the way you may see dolphins leaping clear of the water, or pilot whales, permanent residents of the seas around Tenerife. In the summer season the trip also includes a stop in a cove where you can cool off and swim.
Who this is for (and who it is not)
It works well for an anniversary, a birthday, or simply an evening for two with nothing to organise. It also suits families: children up to 10 get a discount, and a gentle evening sail is easier on them than a long day in the sun.
If you want whale watching as the main event, or a full dinner served on board, this is not it. This trip is about the evening and the light, not a list of activities.
Practical information
You sail from Puerto Colón, the largest marina in the heart of Costa Adeje. The exact time for your date and the meeting point are sent in a separate email within 24 hours of booking.
It gets cooler on the water once the sun is down, so a jumper is not overkill. Cancellation is free up to 72 hours before the start with a 100% refund. Under-18s sail with an accompanying adult, and the operator may offer extras on the day, such as photos, paid separately.
If you are booking around a particular occasion, write to us and we will check which date falls best for the sunset.

FAQ
The boat leaves at around 18:30 or 19:00 depending on the month, because the departure is timed around sunset. We send the exact time for your date in a separate email after booking, along with the meeting point at Puerto Colón harbour.
The trip lasts two and a half to three hours. The exact length depends on the month and on what time the sun goes down, so a summer sailing tends to run longer than a winter one. You depart from and return to Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje.
Yes, but only in the summer season. Then the boat stops in a cove where you can cool off and swim. Outside the season the cruise runs without a swim stop, so a swimsuit is mainly useful during the summer months.
Yes. There are no more than twelve people on board and the sail is calm and shorter than a full-day trip. Children up to the age of ten get a discount. Under-18s travel with an accompanying adult, and it is worth packing a jumper for them.
Yes. Snacks and drinks are prepared for all guests on board and served during the cruise. It is a light bite rather than a full dinner, so if you are sailing at mealtime it is worth eating something beforehand.
