Båt- och yachtuthyrning Kanarieöarna

These are the private trips: the whole boat exclusively for your group, with a professional local captain, and you are back on land in time for dinner and a real bed. Every island also has shared boat trips for whale and dolphin watching, linked on each card. The difference with Club Canary? Years of building the best established private boat partners on each island, so the boat that shows up is the boat you dreamed of.

Let us answer the question we get every week: can you rent a boat without a captain in the Canary Islands and sail off on your own, like in Greece or Croatia? In practice, no. And we would rather explain why than let you waste days searching.

Havet är annorlunda här. Grekland, Kroatien och Turkiet har lugna, skyddade hav med korta avstånd mellan öarna. Kanarieöarna ligger i det öppna Atlanten. Vind och vågor är en del av vardagen, avstånden mellan öarna är betydande och förhållandena förändras snabbt. Dagsturer här är världsklass. Nätter vid ankring mellan öarna är vanligtvis mycket mindre romantiska än på bilderna i broschyrerna.

Ekonomin är annorlunda också. Harbour spots in the tourist areas are expensive, so the boats based here are built to earn: daily trips, sometimes three or four per day in summer. Every boat already has a professional captain on the payroll, and owners want that captain on board for every charter so the boat comes back ready for tomorrow. The result: skippered charters everywhere, bareboat almost nowhere.

Och en liten varning. Vissa internationella båtuthyrningsplattformar visar dig gärna sidor som "båtuthyrning Kanarieöarna" och tar emot din förfrågan. Försök att filtrera på båtar utan kapten och se hur lite som faktiskt finns kvar. Vi föredrar att tala sanning från början.

During and after COVID, something changed. Travellers suddenly wanted boats just for their own group, even small groups, and almost nobody on the islands offered that properly. Club Canary built the first real private boat trip selection in Tenerife, and it took off. Today plenty of websites copy the concept, which is fine, ideas spread. But the logistics, the fleet relationships and the daily experience took years to build, and that part does not copy so easily.

This is what we now arrange all the time: private trips for birthdays and proposals, wedding charters, company outings on the water, 50th celebrations with catering, bartenders, live music, jet skis alongside the boat, and stag and hen weekends with the boat in the middle of it. We know which boat fits which group, which captain fits which vibe, and which restaurant should be waiting when you step off. Have a look at the Teneriffa privat båtsamling för att se nivån.

Flerdagarscharter över öarna existerar, men endast som en lyxprodukt med full besättning, och det är precis så de bör göras här. Två alternativ som vi personligen står bakom, båda med start från Teneriffa:

Vill du starta en flerdagars charter från en annan ö? Tekniskt sett möjligt, men båten måste resa från Teneriffa först, vilket medför en betydande kostnad. Vi kommer alltid att tala om det verkliga priset för dig innan du bestämmer dig.

Here is the plot twist: there is one type of boat that visits all the Canary Islands, sleeps like a hotel and handles the Atlantic without spilling your drink. A cruise ship. The islands are now one of Europe's favourite cruise destinations, with routes that connect Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma and Madeira in one comfortable week. For a couple or a family who wants every island without packing a bag six times, it beats any yacht we can offer.

The catch? The excursions sold on board are often overpriced and chosen for the ship, not for you. That is where we come in. Club Canary already runs shore excursions for cruise passengers in every Canary port: private tours and small groups, timed to your ship, one local team on WhatsApp for the whole trip. Our cruise port guide tells you honestly what fits a 5, 7 or 9 hour call in each port, and what to skip.

Coming in 2027: you will be able to book the cruise itself through us as well, under a sister brand, with the excursions already matched to your route. Ask us now and we put you on the list.
