The Rodfather is where it all begun back in 2012, our reliable fishing machine. The result of our passion and determination for quality fishing in every sense.

We love what we do and we fish at a tournament style pace during every single trip. We run the boat hard, fish hard, and work hard. All while maintaining a positive and friendly atmosphere, teaching you and giving you all the information along the way, making you be part of our Rodfather family and crew. Our reputation means everything and we are dedicated to showing every group how exciting sport fishing can really be. We punch it to where we need to go and use whatever techniques necessary to put you on the fish

We have fine tuned every technique and mixed top of the line equipment with an experienced multilingual crew. This allows us to catch fish by doing what's necessary, not convenient.

Don't let our tournament style approach intimidate you, we also like to fish with light tackle and make the most elusive gamefish a reasonable target for even the most inexperienced anglers. Your safety, comfort, and enjoyment are our only priorities

Proof of our hard work and reputation is that we have won the 2026 Offshore World Championship 2026 as well as several national championships. We are also proud to be the only charter company in the Canary Islands sponsored by some of the world's leading fishing and yachting brands, such as Simrad, Mustad and Höwk.

This means you will always find the latest and best electronics, tackle and gear on board our boats.

We are located on the SW side of Tenerife, one of the best fishing grounds on the island and also one of the most spectacular landscapes in Tenerife.

There are less expensive charters online but you won't find a more experienced crew, well kept boats, positive atmosphere and our unmatched customer service.

'This is an offer you can't refuse '

All of our crew members speak fluent English, German, French and Italian.

Had a great day out with the Rodfather, caught my personal best Wahoo within 30 mins was about 30lb,then went on to catch a few Barracuda for bait to catch Amberjack… Well what can i say it was crazy one of the hardest fighting fish i have ever caught amberjack around about 50kg💪🏻😮😮!! The crew were fantastic told me exactly what they were going to do and what was happening and what to do. I will more as likely be back again.. 🎣🎣😊😊

A fun afternoon
Half Day Trip – Private (PM) on June 21, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

I booked this fishing trip for myself and my 2 children having no fishing experience. My children are 10 and 13 years old, the crew were really patient and helpful with them. they asked us whst we’d like to fish for and we all agreed that we’d rather have more fish than 1 massive one. .So we went to a few different spots catching all kinds of species. then we spent the last 45 min trawling for tuna and marlin. spotting whales dolphins and a huge turtle was the icing on the cake for us. If you’re considering booking with kids with no experience id definitely give this crew a try we had a really good afternoon.

Reported catch:
Great Barracuda

500lb blue marlin
Half Day Trip – Private (PM) on May 26, 2026 • 2 adults

This is my 2nd time on this boat , took my dad this time. we were given options and advice of fishing but we opted to risk it and go for the risky marlin. 3 hours in and we hit lucky. was on the seat for 33 mins reeling in what captain lubin discribed as being a possible 550 lb blue marling . with a 10-20% chance of catching one we had a bit of luck and i caught a once in a lifetime fish . havi guiding me all the way when the fish was on . A great team , a great boat and a great fish. will definately be back again
