If there’s one thing not to miss when you’re in the Canaries, it’s Marlin fishing in Tenerife. Leave the crowded beaches behind and head to the deep waters of the Atlantic to battle it out with one of the world’s most-loved big game fish!
What to Expect
It doesn’t get more serious than fishing for Marlin. Luckily, Tenerife is home to Blue and White Marlin, giving you double the chance to target this famed creature. Renowned all over the world for their propensity to fight, they’ll even leap out of the water to get off the end of your line! These fish will test your skills and strength to the limit.
Aboard a huge offshore sportfishing boat, you’ll have everything you need for a productive day out. The crew will set up the trolling lines, so you can sit back and enjoy the stunning surroundings as you head to sea. Don’t get too comfortable, though – the minute you hear the reels screech, it’s time to spring into action.
One of the beauties of fishing out of Tenerife is that you can get to the deep water within minutes, making it possible to catch a Marlin on even a half day trip. Whether on a shared or private charter, you’ll get to target these beauties for as much time as you have to spend!
When to Go
Summer is the best time to go hunting for Marlin. These migratory creatures make their way past the west coast of Africa and through the Canaries between May and September. White Marlin is the first to arrive, with Blue Marlin hot on their heels, before retreating together as the weather cools down.
How to Prepare
You’ll be heading to the deep, choppy waters when Marlin fishing in Tenerife, so make sure to have your sea legs ready before going. Fishing these waters is not for the faint-hearted, so you’ll also want some experience with a rod and reel in your hands. Check with the captain if children are allowed, as some rules may vary, and away you go!
Make the most of your Tenerife holiday with a Marlin fishing trip and head home with an enviable story to tell for the rest of your life!
