Boat hire in Puerto Colón

Puerto Colón is the Costa Adeje marina, in the municipality of Adeje, between La Pinta and Fañabé beaches, and Tenerife's whale-watching harbour: the boats to see the pilot whales and dolphins in the channel with La Gomera, 3 miles off the coast, leave from here. Its 7 rental companies, 6 within 500 m of the marina, offer skippered yachts, a catamaran, no-licence boats and jet skis; the top-rated has more than 60 reviews. Adeje, 1 km away, adds 34 companies and Arona (Los Cristianos), 3 km, 8; Las Galletas, 11 km, 11. From Puerto Colón you sail to the Los Gigantes cliffs to the north, about 12 miles, or to La Gomera, 20.

You can sail all year, with peaks in summer and at Christmas. The south-west coast is sheltered from the trade wind by the Teide and is the calmest on Tenerife; the channel with La Gomera has wind and sea in the afternoon.
