White Tenerife
White Tenerife works out of berths 6 and 8 at Marina Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje, with a fleet of five vessels: the catamaran White Paradise, the sailing yachts White Sea I and White Sea II, the catamaran Abrazo and the speedboat Demon. The programme covers dolphin and whale watching, chill-out sailing trips, the run to Masca Bay and private nautical charters, all on advance booking.
The company sails whenever the wind allows and has fitted electric batteries and automated engines to cut its carbon footprint. Its boats carry the blue flag that authorises cetacean watching, and the firm belongs to the World Cetacean Alliance, has signed the Carta de Turismo de Tenerife and forms part of Tenerife Select.
Every vessel holds its own navigation permit and civil liability insurance, and the crew are qualified professionals. White Paradise is the largest boat and takes larger groups; the White Sea sailing yachts and the catamaran Abrazo work with small numbers, and the speedboat Demon is kept for short outings and tailor-made charters.
One of its trips is the 3- or 5-hour eco-catamaran outing from pontoon 8 to watch and listen to cetaceans: depending on sea conditions you may see bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales, and underwater sound equipment lets you hear their calls. Food and drinks on board and a swimming stop are included; the 5-hour trip reaches the Los Gigantes cliffs and anchors in Masca bay. The skipper speaks Spanish and English, arrive 15 minutes early, and the boat is not wheelchair accessible.
