If your main reason for a private boat trip in Tenerife is to see whales and dolphins, this is the one. The Atlantic Star carries the official valaiden katselulupa (the yellow flag with the blue boat logo), so it is fully authorized and respectful of the animals. Friendly crew, fair price, and your group only.
Club Canary is the only agency that lets you add a money-back guarantee on this boat. No whales or dolphins? You get your money back, or a free rebooking. No hotel, tour operator or big site dares to offer that.
This is the private boat Club Canary would book ourselves. Reserve with a small deposit, pay the rest on the day.

Info
Everything you need to know before your private whale and dolphin watching trip on the Atlantic Star. It leaves from Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje. This is one of the few private boats in Tenerife with an official whale watching license. And it is the only one where you can add the Club Canary whale watching guarantee.
The Whale Watching Guarantee, How It Works
Yes, it is real, and it counts for dolphins too. The whales you normally see are pilot whales. Sometimes, if you are lucky, sperm whales or other species. Please remember, this is not a zoo. A sighting can be a group close to the boat, or simply fins breaking the surface. The crew cannot make whales jump on command. What we can promise is that this is one of the best places in the world to see them.
If you book the guarantee and the crew confirms there were no sightings, Club Canary refunds your trip cost in full, minus the insurance fee and any optional upgrades.
3 tunnin matka: full refund, except the 120€ fee.
6-hour trip: full refund, except the 170€ fee.
9-hour trip: full refund, except the 200€ fee.
No hotel, tour operator or other booking site takes that risk. Club Canary does. Full terms are in the Policy tile.
Käytännön tietoja matkaasi varten
Lähdöt: 09:30, 12:30 and 15:30. Choose 3, 6 or 9 hours.
Ryhmän koko: Up to 10 guests, your group only. The sweet spot is around 6 to 8, so everyone has room to lie down.
Liput ja maksaminen Show your Club Canary ticket on your phone or printed. A small deposit secures your booking. The balance is paid on the day, preferably in cash to the crew.
Mitä tuoda: Swimwear, a towel and sunscreen. Shoes are stored safely, the deck is barefoot.
Kyydissä Soft cushions, shaded seating, a changing room and a toilet.
Kielet: The crew is multilingual and happy to help.
Tupakointi: Only in the designated area at the back.
Oletko taipuvainen merisairauteen?
Eat something light before boarding, and skip alcohol and dairy beforehand. A travel sickness tablet 30 minutes before departure helps a lot. On board, sit at the back where there is the least movement. The boat stays close to the coast, so most people are completely fine.
Departure Point In Puerto Colón, Costa Adeje
Kokoontumispaikka: Puerto Colón, Gate 0, in front of the Yubari sushi restaurant.
Arrival: Be there 15 minutes before departure. Your crew will meet you.
Pysäköinti: Available at the port, around 1.20€ per hour.
More Than 10 Guests Or A Big Celebration?
We arrange larger groups and special events too. Contact us at events@clubcanary.com.

FAQ
The questions people ask us most about a private whale and dolphin watching trip on the Atlantic Star. Still unsure about something? Chat with our local team on WhatsApp ja autamme nopeasti.
Mikä on paras yksityinen veneretki Teneriffalla perheille?
Atlantic Star on yksi Teneriffan parhaista yksityisistä veneretkistä perheille. Matka on rauhallinen ja rento, eikä kyseessä ole missään nimessä meluisa juhlavene. Lapset yleensä rakastavat sitä. Aluksella on tilaa liikkua, uintipysähdys virkistymiseen sekä ystävällinen miehistö, joka huolehtii siitä, että kaikki ovat tyytyväisiä. Koska kyseessä on yksityisretki, vanhemmat voivat rentoutua täysin.
Rehellisesti sanottuna: jos budjettisi on suuri ja haluat puhdasta ylellisyyttä, meillä on tarjolla myös korkeamman hintaluokan jahteja. Mutta keskitason hintaluokassa, jossa koko veneen hinta alkaa noin 500€:sta, tämä on paras yksityismatka perheille. Upea kokemus, kohtuullinen hinta, eikä tarvitse maksaa liikaa.
Onko Teneriffalla yksityisvene, jolla on takuu valaiden bongaukseen?
Kyllä, ja Atlantic Star on ainoa vaihtoehto. Kun varaat matkan koodilla Club Canary, voit lisätä valinnaisen rahat takaisin -takuun. Ei valaita tai delfiinejä? Saat rahasi takaisin tai voit varata matkan uudelleen ilmaiseksi. Hinta on 120€ 3 tunnilta, 170€ 6 tunnilta ja 200€ 9 tunnilta. Mikään hotelli tai suuri matkailusivusto ei uskalla tarjota tällaista.
Kuinka monta henkilöä mahtuu yksityiskoneeseen Atlantic Star?
Enintään 10 vierasta, ja koko vene on teidän. Se on mukava 10 hengelle, mutta se ei ole valtava vene. Paras viihtyvyys on noin 6–8 hengelle, jotta kaikilla on tilaa maata ja rentoutua. Onko teitä yli 10? Ottakaa meihin yhteyttä, niin järjestämme jotain.
Sopiiiko yksityinen Atlantic Star-tapahtuma pariskunnille tai kosintaan?
Täysin yksityisenä se sopii täydellisesti pariskunnille, vuosipäiville ja syntymäpäiville. Sitä varataan jopa kihloihin. Lisää samppanja ja kakku, ja miehistö auttaa tekemään hetkestä erityisen. Jotain erityisen romanttista varten kysy meiltä yksityinen auringonlaskun retki.
Näemmekö todella valaita tai delfiinejä?
Todennäköisesti kyllä. Pilottivalaat elävät näillä vesillä ympäri vuoden, ja myös delfiinejä näkyy usein. Luonnossa mikään ei ole 100% varmaa, ja juuri siksi voit lisätä valinnaisen rahat takaisin -takuun. Jos niiden näkeminen on sinulle tärkeää, lisää takuu ja rentoudu.
Onko purjehtiminen pelottavaa? Kääntyykö vene ympäri?
Ei, älä huoli. Tämä on rauhallinen, mukava matka, ei urheilullinen purjehdushaaste. Vene kulkee pääasiassa moottorilla eikä kallistu kyljelleen. Et tarvitse lainkaan purjehduskokemusta. Miehistö nostaa purjeen usein vain mukavan tunteen vuoksi. Haluatko kunnon purjehdusta huviksesi? Kysy vain tilauksesi lisätiedoissa.
Pitäisikö meidän valita 3, 6 vai 9 tuntia?
3 tunnin retki on suosituin. Siinä on runsaasti aikaa etsiä valaita ja delfiinejä sekä nauttia uinti- ja snorkkelitauosta Puerto Colón:n lähellä. Valitse 6 tunnin retki, jos haluat purjehtia edelleen Los Gigantes:n kallioille. Valitse 9 tunnin retki koko päiväksi, jolloin pääset myös Masca:hen, ja saat pidemmät tauot sekä aikaa kunnolliseen purjehtimiseen.
Yksi tärkeä asia: valitse haluamasi kellonajat jo varausta tehdessäsi. Et voi lisätä ylimääräisiä tunteja paikan päällä eikä maksaa niitä aluksella. Atlantic Star on erittäin suosittu vene, jolla järjestetään myös tavallisia jaettuja retkiä, joten seuraavaa vuoroa odottaa jo uusia vieraita. Jos arvelet, että saatat tarvita enemmän aikaa, varaa pidempi vaihtoehto heti alusta alkaen.
Onko yksityinen venematka turvallinen lapsille?
Yes. The deck has side protection, and on a private trip you are always right next to your children. The real risk of a fall is very small. The boat stays calm and does not lean over, so it feels safe and easy. Most kids have a brilliant time.
What food and drinks are included, and can we add more?
Fresh sandwiches and snacks are included, plus unlimited drinks: water, soft drinks, white wine, beer, sangria and cava. Gluten-free options on request. Want to make it special? You can pre-order pizza, sushi, paella, a birthday cake or Moët champagne, ordered fresh before departure.
How far in advance should we book the private trip?
Book as early as you can. This boat also runs shared trips daily, so private days fill up fast. Last-minute requests (less than 14 days) depend on availability. Our online calendar is not always fully up to date, so for a close date, lähetä meille ensin viesti numeroon WhatsApp to check.
Where does the private Atlantic Star leave from?
From Gate 0 at Puerto Colón, in Costa Adeje, in front of the Yubari sushi restaurant. It is a short walk or quick taxi from Costa Adeje and Playa de las Américas. There is parking at the port, around 1.20€ per hour, and your crew meets you at the gate.
Why does Club Canary recommend this private boat?
Honestly? Because we book it ourselves. When our own friends and family visit Tenerife, our founder Roy and the team rent the Atlantic Star privately and head out together. It is comfortable, personal, family-friendly, and the only private boat with the optional money-back guarantee. If whales are your priority, this is the one.
Varaatko viime tingassa tai näyttääkö päivä täynnä? Tarkista aina ensin todellinen saatavuus meiltä, voimme usein silti järjestää sinulle ajan.

If adverse weather or an unexpected event changes the trip, the guarantee may not apply. We will discuss alternatives with you.

Atlantic Star, Your Private Whale & Dolphin Boat In Tenerife
Want a private boat trip in Tenerife to see whales and dolphins? In a relaxed way, with just your own group? This is the one Club Canary would book ourselves. The Atlantic Star is a comfortable sailing yacht for up to 10 vierasta. It leaves from Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje. No strangers, no crowds. Just your people, the ocean, and the marine life.
It is also the only private boat in Tenerife where you can add an optional money-back whale watching guarantee. So when marine life is your priority, this is the private boat Club Canary recommends first.
📸 "Lying down, taking photos, nobody photobombing me." When the whole boat is yours, you shoot your family, your partner and the views. No strangers in the frame.
What A Private Whale And Dolphin Watching Trip Looks Like
Here is how a private day on the Atlantic Star flows. At your pace, not a timetable.
Relax Your Way, It Is Your Boat
Sail out along the Costa Adeje coast on soft cushions. Sunbathe, nap, chat, or just watch the water. There is no fixed program. So you take it slow while the crew looks for whales and dolphins.
Hyvä tietää: the boat takes up to 10 guests. It is comfortable for 10, but it is not a huge boat. The sweet spot is around 6 to 8, so everyone has room to lie down.
Spot The Whales And Dolphins
The Atlantic Star heads for the waters between Tenerife and La Gomera. Pilot whales live here all year round. Dolphins show up often too. From the boat you usually see fins and backs breaking the surface, sometimes very close.
How they look from the deck. You often come a little closer than this.
Below is how the pilot whales look up close. You will not see them underwater on the trip. We added this so you know what these beautiful animals are like. They travel in family groups, sometimes 20 or more together.
Hyvä tietää: pilot whales are not very big, so guests sometimes think they are dolphins. If you are very lucky, you might even spot sperm whales.
Ruoka ja juoma sisältyvät hintaan
Fresh sandwiches and snacks are always included. So are unlimited drinks: water, soft drinks, white wine, beer, sangria and cava. Gluten-free options on request. Eat during the swim break, or earlier, whenever suits you.
Fresh sandwiches and snacks, included on every trip.
Want To Celebrate? Add Special Extras
Making it a celebration? You can pre-order extras that come fresh from a local restaurant. Choose pizza, sushi or paella. Add a birthday cake or Moët champagne to toast on board. These are ordered before departure. Just add them when booking or in your order note.
Hyvä tietää: the sushi, pizza and paella are restaurant-fresh and ordered ahead, not made on the boat. So quality stays high.
What Is The Best Private Boat Trip In Tenerife For Families?
The Atlantic Star is one of the best private boat trips in Tenerife for families. It is calm, private and relaxed. It is never a loud party boat. Kids usually love it. There is space to move, a swim stop to cool off, and a friendly crew that makes them feel part of the adventure.
Safe with kids. The deck has side protection. On a private trip you are always right next to your children. The real risk of a fall is very small.
Private means relaxed. No strangers and no fixed crowd schedule. So little ones can just be themselves, and parents can actually relax. This makes it a great family private whale watching trip.
Great For Couples, Birthdays And Special Occasions
Because the Atlantic Star is fully private, it is perfect for couples too. Think anniversaries, birthdays and romantic days out. It is even booked for marriage proposals. Add champagne and a cake, and the crew helps make the moment special. For an extra-romantic option, ask us about a yksityinen auringonlaskun retki.
Is There A Private Boat In Tenerife With A Whale Watching Guarantee?
Yes, and the Atlantic Star is the only one. Booked through Club Canary, you can add an optional money-back guarantee on your sighting. No whales or dolphins? You get your money back on the trip cost (minus the insurance fee), or a free rebooking. No hotel, tour operator or big site dares to offer this. Club Canary does, because the chance of spotting marine life here is so high.
Optional add-on. 120€ for the 3-hour trip. 170€ for 6 hours. 200€ for 9 hours.
Covers whales or dolphins. Seeing at least one of the two counts. A fin within 30 meters is a successful sighting. Full terms are in the Policy tile above.
Relaxed Sailing, Not Extreme, And Easy For Everyone
Worried It Is Hardcore Sailing? Do Not Be.
This is a calm, comfortable trip. It is not a sporty sailing challenge. The boat mostly runs on the motor and does not tip over on its side. You need zero sailing experience. The crew often puts the sail up just for the nice adventure feeling, not for active sailing.
Want real sailing for the fun of it? That is possible too. Just mention it in your order note. Otherwise, simply relax and enjoy.
Choose Your Trip Length: 3, 6 Or 9 Hours
3 Hours, The Most Popular
You sail out toward the channel between Tenerife and La Gomera, where the pilot whales usually are. After spotting the animals, the boat anchors at a beautiful bay called El Puertito for a swim and snorkel break. Then back to Puerto Colón. Perfect for 3 hours, and the same route the shared trips follow.
6 tuntia
Everything above, plus time to sail on to Los Gigantes, the famous cliffs. Stop for a break there, then cruise back. A lot more time on the water.
9 Hours
The full day. Reach Los Gigantes and Masca, enjoy longer swimming and snorkeling breaks, and extended whale and dolphin watching. There is even time for some proper sailing if you want it.
Do not need the whole boat? You can also join a shared small-group trip on the Atlantic Star (max 10 guests), from 60€ per person.

💬 Club Canary:n rehellinen mielipide
Real talk: this is a boat we book ourselves. When our own friends or family visit Tenerife, our founder Roy and many of the team rent the Atlantic Star privately and head out together. That is how much we rate it.
If you love nature and want an easy, private day to spot whales and dolphins, this is the one. Comfortable, personal and family-friendly. It is also the only private boat with the optional money-back guarantee.
If whales are your priority, this is the private trip Club Canary would book.
