If you’re looking for the angling holiday of a lifetime, the Canary Islands is a great bet – and the largest island among them is an even better place to start. Tenerife’s nearshore and offshore waters are sure to make any angler jealous. That’s why we suggest teaming up with a Tenerife fishing charter to make the most of it all.
Your local, experienced crew will provide you with all the fishing gear for your day out, not to mention the knowledge to put you on fish and reel ‘em in. On top of that, some Tenerife fishing charters even offer lunch and drinks, so you could be in for the whole package.
But back to the fishing, and it’s no exaggeration to say that the action is world-class here. The volcanic, rocky bottoms attract a range of impressive fish that grow to big sizes. Think Pandora, Dentex, Rays, Barracuda, and a number of smaller Rockfish, Pufferfish, and Wrasse. These are all fun in their own right but can also be used as bait for the bigger fish out there.
And the fish get seriously big. From oversized Amberjack to Mahi Mahi, and four kinds of Tuna, you’re already in for a treat. Then, there are Billfish, such as Blue and White Marlin and Spearfish, giving you the chance to land that bucket-list catch.
Beginners and families may want to stick to the shallow waters on trips lasting up to 4 hours or so. However, if you’ve got your sea legs ready and want to test your skills and strength, offshore trips can range anywhere from 6 hours to overnight expeditions. Tenerife fishing charters take off from marinas such as Costa Adeje, Las Galletas, and Los Cristianos, so take your pick and set sail for a memorable adventure!
Rules & Regulations
There's some more good news! most charter operators have fishing licences included in the price of your trip. That being said, it's not always the case, so check with your captain before heading out. Other than that, spearfishers will also need a special permit. Again, your charter operator will be able to point you in the right direction.
