Tenerife Fishing Trip, Quick Facts
Tenerife Fishing Trip, A Real Day At Sea For Everyone
This is a proper 4-hour fishing trip from Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje, and it is for anyone who wants to get out on the water. First time and just curious how it feels? You are very welcome, and the crew shows you everything. Fish often and simply want a good day out? Perfect. Bringing someone who would rather relax than fish? Book them as a spectator. It is a real fishing boat with a serious local crew who have fished this coast for 20+ years, using proper gear, with a genuine shot at big fish. Nothing is staged, and everyone is welcome.
For total beginners, keen anglers, and everyone in between. Come for the experience, and the big fish are the bonus.
Fishing In Tenerife, No Experience Needed
Looking for a real Tenerife fishing trip with a proper crew, proper gear, and a genuine chance of action? This is it, and you do not need any experience. You join a shared trip with other guests who all want the same thing: a fun day on the ocean and a shot at big fish. The local crew give you clear guidance, so a first-timer feels comfortable within minutes, while keen anglers can just get on with it.
It is one of the most-booked fishing excursions in Tenerife on Club Canary, rated 4.7/5 from 75+ reviews. Booking is simple: reserve your spot with a small deposit and pay the rest on the day. Being honest, fishing is fishing: catches happen on most trips, but the ocean is wild, so nothing is ever guaranteed. Some days are wild, some are a lovely sea day and a good story.
Angler Or Spectator, Two Ways To Come
Everyone on board picks one of two tickets, so the whole group can come, even the ones who do not want to fish.
You fish. You get your own rod (conditions allowing), the crew's guidance, and every chance to hook up. Ideal for anyone who wants to actually catch, from total beginners to experienced anglers.
You come along for the ride, relax, take photos and enjoy the day, without fishing. Great for partners, friends, and children under 12. Same boat, same sea, same good time.
Your Fishing Day, Step By Step
How The Trip Runs
- 110 min beforeMeet At Gate 11, Puerto Colón
The crew meets you at Gate 11, near the fuel station, and walks you to the boat. Departures are around 09:00 or 14:00.
- 2OnboardBriefing And Setup
Shoes off, a quick briefing on the boat, safety, and the fishing plan for the day.
- 3Head OutInto Deeper Water
Cruise offshore and start trolling or bottom fishing, switching techniques as the conditions change.
- 4The ActionRods Out, Lines In
Catches happen on most trips, though fish are wild and never guaranteed. When one comes over the side, the whole boat feels it.
- 5About 4 hoursBack To Harbour
Return to Puerto Colón after around four hours at sea, hopefully with a good story and a few photos.
What Can You Catch?
The waters around Tenerife can deliver tuna, marlin, wahoo, mahi-mahi, barracuda, amberjack, grouper, snapper and more. Fish are wild, so nothing is ever guaranteed, but with a strong captain and experienced deckhands, catches happen on most trips. Some days are wild, some days are a nice sea day and a good story, and both make a great day out.
Real catch, real trip: tuna landed on a Tenerife fishing tour with No Limits.
Honest Notes On How Fishing Works
Luck is not shared out evenly. On a shared boat, one rod or one side can get several strikes while another has a quiet spell. That is simply fishing, not something anyone can control, so come as a team and enjoy the moment whoever the fish picks.
When the big fish stay quiet, the crew often switch to bottom fishing for smaller species, which usually means more regular action. A day of smaller fish is still a great day, not every fish has to be a monster.
Dolphins are a lucky surprise, not part of the trip. They are sometimes seen off this coast, but this is a fishing boat, not a dolphin-watching tour, so we never promise them.
A fresh taste on board can happen if the right fish is caught and time and conditions allow, but it depends on the catch and the captain, so treat it as a nice bonus rather than something included.
Sport fishing is real. When a big fish is landed the crew take over the technical part, and retained fish are dispatched quickly. It can look hands-on if you have never fished before, and if that is really not for you, a gentler boat trip may suit you better.
The Boat: No Limits, A 28ft Bertram
We work with No Limits, one of the most respected boats for sport fishing in Tenerife south. You fish from a 28ft Bertram that is fully set up for action, with quality tackle, a toilet on board, and a fridge with drinks. We always aim to place you on No Limits, and if you book early it is usually smooth. For last-minute bookings (under 7 days) it can sell out, and if that happens we will offer another respected local boat so you can still get out fishing.
Fishing Techniques & Gear
The crew use the full range of techniques for deep-sea fishing in Tenerife, from trolling and bottom fishing to light and heavy tackle. Everything is included: rods, reels, bait and guidance, adjusted to the season, the sea and whatever is active that day. You just bring yourself and a bit of patience.
A Fresh Taste On Board
Sometimes, when a smaller tuna is caught and time and conditions allow, the captain may prepare a fresh tasting on board for everyone. It is not guaranteed, and it is more common on our private fishing charters, but it can happen on a shared trip too when the moment is right. On shared trips, taking fish home is not common, mainly because it is not practical for most visitors, and we like to keep it fair for the whole group. Want the flexibility to keep your catch? A private charter is the way.
If conditions allow, the crew may prep a small tuna right on the boat.
Who Is This Fishing Trip For?
Great for you if: you are curious and want to try fishing for the first time, you fish often and just want a good day at sea, or you are bringing family and friends (book the non-fishers as spectators). It is a friendly, mixed group, and the crew help everyone.
Book a private charter instead if: you want your own boat, you want the flexibility to reliably keep your catch, or you need a wheelchair (not possible on board). See our Tenerife private fishing charter. Also good to know: it is a real working boat, so expect bait and fishing smells, and it is not ideal if you get seasick easily.
Same price as booking direct, but easier. Best Price Guarantee, a small deposit to book, fast confirmation, an invoice included, and real local support before and after your trip, every day from 08:00 to 22:00. Club Canary is the official ticket seller, No Limits runs the trip. Rated 4.8/5 from 1,375+ verified reviews.

What makes fishing in Tenerife a unique experience?
Fishing in Tenerife is unique due to its diverse marine life and the expertise of our fishing team, who've been fishing Tenerife’s southwest coast for over 20 years. The blend of adventure and expertise makes it an unforgettable experience.
Is it catch and release on Tenerife fishing trips?
It depends on the type of fish we catch during our Tenerife fishing trip. For instance, if we’re doing bottom fishing and catching smaller fish, it’s generally catch and release. However, for larger fish like tuna and other legal-to-keep species, there’s a big chance to keep the catch, adding excitement to your Tenerife sea fishing adventure.
Can you keep the fish you catch on a Tenerife sport fishing tour?
For tourists, keeping the fish can be challenging—imagine trying to transport a big tuna after a fishing boat tour in Tenerife! For locals, it’s more manageable, and the captain will usually let you know if keeping the fish is an option, depending on the size of the catch and group. We’re a bit careful with this, as it could lead to others in the group feeling left out if one person takes home a big catch while others cannot. Since fishing is a team experience, we aim to keep it fair and enjoyable for everyone. However, if you're set on bringing your catch home, a private Tenerife fishing excursion offers more flexibility. Sometimes, the captain can even freshly prepare the fish on the boat, giving you a unique taste of your catch right on the water!
Booking & Cancellation Policy
Deposit & Payment

- The deposit secures your spot but does not cover late cancellations or no-shows. This is a shared trip, so for privacy or full flexibility, book a private fishing charter.
Cancellation
- Free cancellation up to 48 hours before (groups of 4+: up to 72 hours before).
- Less than 15 hours before: 40% of the total applies (groups of 4+: within 36 hours). No-show or under 5 hours before: 60% applies.

Fishing Rules
- Fishing is skill and luck: catches are common but never guaranteed. Catch-and-release may apply to some species, and the captain's decision on each catch is final.
- On shared trips, taking fish home is uncommon and depends on the day, the catch and the captain. For keeping fish, a private charter is better. Seasickness is not grounds for a refund if the trip runs safely.
Weather & Assistance
- Sea conditions and weather can affect the trip. If a reschedule is needed we contact you as soon as possible, and if that is not possible you get a full refund or credit.
