Zodiac RIB Charter TenerifePrivate Hire from Costa Adeje

Zodiac style boat charter in Tenerife: a private RIB on the south coast

This Zodiac style boat charter in Tenerife is a self-drive-feel RIB trip run by a private captain from Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje. The boat is a 7.45 metre rigid-inflatable with a 200 HP engine, with room for up to 8 guests. You can book the whole boat privately, join a shorter shared trip, or take the evening sunset run. Soft drinks and snorkelling gear are on board, and the captain handles the helm so you can relax.

What the trip is like

The RIB is fast and stable, which makes it easy to reach quiet coves for a swim and snorkel along the coast. A Bluetooth stereo is on board, so you can play your own music. Dolphins and turtles are sometimes seen from the boat, though the trip does not go looking for them. Rentals run daily from 2 to 8 hours with departure times you choose when you book.

The three trip options

A private charter takes up to 8 guests for between 2 and 8 hours, and sandwiches are included from the fourth hour onward. The shared trip is a 3-hour excursion with a limited number of spots, which works well if you want to meet other people on the water. The sunset trip runs from 19:00 to 21:00 for golden-hour views off the coast.

What's included and what to bring

Every trip comes with a private captain, soft drinks, snorkelling equipment, life jackets, GPS navigation and the Bluetooth stereo. Bring swimwear, sunscreen and a phone or camera. There is public paid parking near the departure point, so arrive a little early to settle in.

Booking and cancellation

You choose your departure time during booking, and confirmation is instant. Private charters can be cancelled free up to 96 hours before departure, and shared trips up to 48 hours before. Later cancellations or no-shows forfeit the deposit. If the trip is called off for poor sea conditions or too few participants, you can reschedule or take a full refund.
