Detailed description

Rent a boat on Tenerife without license needed and drive by yourself

Tenerife is certainly not the typical island for license-free boat rentals, but it is still possible to rent a small boat on Tenerife without a license. With Puerto Colón you got the right harbour on the southwest coast for this activity. An experienced and professional team awaits you here. Enjoy a day at sea with relaxed swimming breaks, the sun as your companion and a journey at your own pace. The small motorboat with the economical engine is perfect for private boat trips along the coast. Whether for a small group or the family - up to 5 people can come on board.

For those who rent a licence-free boat for the first time on Tenerife: the Atlantic Ocean is less soft than, for example, the Mediterranean and water sports enthusiasts know about the occasional swell around the island. Besides a well-founded briefing at the boat rental in Puerto Colón, there is always a weather forecast and route suggestions, which are manageable for skippers without a licence. They orientate themselves by a map and after the briefing they can operate all displays of the boat.

For boats without a licence on Tenerife, the general rule is that you may sail near the coast. Depending on the rental period, there is enough time for a boat tour to Los Gigantes / Masca. If the weather is fine, you can have a look at the impressive steep cliff. In southern direction the free stretch reaches up to the Red Mountains (Montaña Roja), passing the cliffs of Los Cristianos and the wonderful beaches. The motorboat, which does not require a licence, has a bathing ladder for easy access and exit during the bathing breaks. There are small sunbathing areas at the stern and bow. In addition to the obligatory safety equipment, you will find portable coolers and snorkel masks on board. A deposit is paid at the boat rental before the start. The boat rental includes the final cleaning, 10 L. petrol and a fully comprehensive insurance (with 150 Euro excess).
