The 4 boat hire companies in Arona
Hiring a boat in Arona
Arona is the municipality of Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas and Las Galletas, in the south of Tenerife, and its rental fleet is split between the Los Cristianos harbour, with 8 companies (one advertising no-licence boats and one skippered hire), and Las Galletas, with Marina del Sur and 11 companies, which has its own page. Costa Adeje, 4 km away, adds 34 more. From Los Cristianos, the La Gomera ferry port, you head out to the strip of sea with resident pilot whales, between here and Los Gigantes, and along the Adeje coast to the west or Las Galletas and the Rasca lighthouse to the east.
You can sail all year, with peaks in summer and at Christmas, in the lee of the trade winds. The scheduled whale-watching boats leave from Los Cristianos harbour and have more demand than rental.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a licence to rent a boat in Arona?
Not for a motorboat up to 5 metres and 15 hp, in daylight and near the coast: one Los Cristianos company advertises them. Yachts, sailing boats and the crossing to La Gomera need an ICC or Spanish licence, or a skipper.
How much does a boat cost in Arona?
A no-licence motorboat, €120–250 a day; a RIB with licence, €250–650; a motor yacht with skipper from €900; a catamaran from Las Galletas, €1,000–2,500. Indicative high-season ranges; fuel and deposit are extra.
Where do boats leave from?
From the Los Cristianos harbour, fishing, leisure and ferry, with 3 companies within 500 m, or from Marina del Sur in Las Galletas, 8 km away in the same municipality.
Can I see pilot whales from Los Cristianos?
Yes, they live all year 3 miles off the coast between Los Cristianos and Los Gigantes; the scheduled boats go out several times a day with permits, and skippered charters know the pods.
Are there boat trips in Arona?
Yes, and plenty: whale-watching and coast cruises with fixed departures from Los Cristianos, the busiest excursion harbour on the island with Puerto Colón. They are listed under the boat trips category.
