🔞 To take the helm, you must be 18.
🗣️ Languages: English and Spanish
Take the helm with no licence required and explore Tenerife’s stunning south-west coast at your own pace. From Marina de Los Gigantes, you set the plan: swim beneath the cliffs, find a quiet cove or sail with La Gomera on the horizon. No skipper, no groups: just your people and the sea.
✨ The experience
The mighty Los Gigantes cliffs look different from the water: walls hundreds of metres high dropping into the Atlantic, turquoise coves and, in the distance, the silhouette of La Gomera. With this unlicensed boat, you decide how long to sail and where to stop. It’s simple and safe, and we give you basic instructions before you set off so you can enjoy with complete peace of mind.
