Located 200 miles off the coast of Africa, Tenerife is an angler’s paradise. The deep Atlantic waters are home to a range of monster fish. It’s no surprise, then, that deep sea and big game fishing in Tenerife is so popular. A way of life for the locals and an exciting sport for tourists, it’s truly a part of the culture.
What to Expect
When you think of the Canaries, your mind probably drifts to golden beaches and resort hotels. You wouldn’t be wrong, but Tenerife offers far more. Head beyond the noisy beaches to the heart of the ocean and enter a world you didn’t know existed.
With nothing around you for miles, you’ll be at peace with the ocean. Until, bang! You’ll hear the reels kick into action and you’ll have to respond quickly to make sure the fish doesn’t get away.
Big game fishing in Tenerife is not for the faint-hearted. Expect monster fish biting at the end of your line. These waters attract Marlin, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and many more coveted species, so get ready for the fight of your lifetime.
Marlin are so determined to get off your line, that they’ll even leap out of the water. Tuna, on the other hand, will dive deep to try to get away. Both will require patience and skill, before eventually relying on sheer strength to hook ‘em aboard.
You’ll have the support of a professional crew and a purpose-built offshore sportfishing vessel. Make use of the trolling lines and lures, to troll, before settling into a fighting chair to steady yourself against your monster target!
When to Come
To target the widest variety, come during summer. Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Albacore and Yellowfin Tuna will all rub shoulders to give you the maximum chance of landing that prized catch.
How to Prepare
Everything you need for a productive day will be waiting for you on board your Tenerife deep sea fishing charter. Some boats may even provide lunch! Bring sunscreen, swimsuits, and a towel, and settle in for an incredible day out.
If you have children, check the captain’s policy as some charters may have age restrictions for offshore trips. Other than that, you’re good to go!
Where else could you battle it out with so many monster fish within a few miles from shore? If you’re on the island, book a fishing trip to make the most of the productive waters!
