What to consider?

​

Clothing:

​

  • T-shirt or long-sleeve shirt made of lightweight fabric that provides sun protection.

  • Shorts or lightweight trousers.

  • Shoes that offer stability on a wet deck.

  • Thin waterproof jacket. The wind and splashes on the water can create a chill, especially in the morning or evening.

  • Waterproof bag to protect personal items like your phone and wallet.

  • A towel can be useful for drying your hands or if water splashes on you.

​

Sun Protection:

​

  • Wide-brimmed hat to protect your face and head from the sun.

  • Polarized sunglasses will also help you see the water surface better.

  • Sunscreen with a high SPF, as the sun in Tenerife is strong even in winter.

​

Reservation:

​

  • You should arrive at the port at least 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time.

  • Fishing trips are very popular in Tenerife, and it’s recommended to book them several days in advance.
