Sea entertainment perfectly complements the "land" excursion program. Tourists are offered to take a ride on all kinds of watercraft and take a look at local whales (albeit small ones, but guaranteed throughout the year), take part in deep-sea fishing, look under the water, even if you have never dived before. However, you can have a wonderful time, just sitting with a fishing rod on the beach.
Pleasure craft ports (marinas) are concentrated on the south and west coast of Tenerife. There is another marina in the town of San Juan between Las Americas and Los Gigantes; it is interesting in many ways, and we will go on a professional fishing trip from the same place.

In the period November-February in the north of the island neither sea trips nor fishing on boats are practiced due to the restless ocean, and the exit on ships takes place in the south and south-west of the island. From March to October, calm is established in the north of the island, and due to the presence of many untouched places by fishermen, you can fish with an excellent catch.
Las Americas and Costa Adeje
The port of pleasure boats in Las Americas / Costa Adeje is named after Columbus Puerto Colon and is located in the middle of the resort. This is the largest marina in the south of the island. Here and fishing, and a good selection of sea excursions, and yachts of all sizes for hire, and diving. Yes, and just nice to walk.
Los Cristianos
Ferries to other islands depart from the port in Los Cristianos. Also here offer fishing and boat trips. The range is less than in Las Americas.
Los Gigantes
Fishing, boat trips to the rocks and Mask Bay on small vessels, excellent diving.
Las Galletas
Diving. In addition to diving there is nothing to do.
Golf del Sur
New Marina San Miguel in the town of Golf del Sur (Urbanizacion Golf del Sur) is notable for a submarine. Fishing and walking are also present, but the choice is quite small.
The port of Puerto Colon in Las Americas / Costa Adeje is the center of marine entertainment in Tenerife. Tourists from Los Cristianos should first look at the offers in their port. Well, the rest of the marina is of purely local value.
There are two ways to spend your time in Tenerife with a fishing rod in your hands: catch fish from the shore or from the boat. The first option involves a small expenditure on the rod and gear. Everything you need to buy on the spot, although someone brings with them.
Many fish from the reservoirs right on the beaches of Las Americas. But it is better to go just north of Puerto de la Cruz in the direction of Garachico and Los Gigantes and leave the rocks on the wild coast. It is close, but much more interesting.
The second way is to go to experience unpredictable fishing happiness in the open ocean. Most often, tourists buy group fishing, i.e. besides you, there are others on the ship who wish to catch something. All necessary issue.
It looks like this. Fishermen in the amount of 4-8 people cast lots, who will be the first to vyvovyvat trophy. Either each is assigned its own rod. Artificial baits are cast, and the boat plows along the coastal spaces waiting for a bite. Such, by the way, may not happen at all in a few hours of fishing, but if the bite happens, then there is a chance to catch something really worthwhile - from 30 to 400 kg. Your catch may be tuna or blue marlin (sailfish).
If it was not possible to pick up anything by trolling, then it makes sense to leave the boats from the boat. The fish comes across a small, but the catch is guaranteed.
You can rent a boat exclusively for your loved ones and offer your captain your vision of the fishing process. For example, do not spin around an elusive place and more actively change the disposition. Let him have to burn a little diesel.
In general, the success of fishing is 90% dependent on the consciousness of the captain, his professionalism and motivation. If you fish where it is not in principle, then the result will be appropriate. When choosing a boat, preference should be given to those who have been in business for years.
When ordering group fishing, we can recommend the best boats of Tenerife.
Although among women there are big lovers of fishing, this entertainment is mainly focused on men. And Tenerife, as is known, is an island for a family holiday. Therefore, there are options to combine fishing in the ocean with sea walks and swimming.
We are talking about "universal" yachts. In contrast to the ascetic fishing boats, there are several cabins for recreation and a deck for sunbathing.
In the end, everyone is happy.
The table below shows the most favorable time for catching some species of fish. Worst of all is fishing in the summer months, but even here there is a “magic wand” in the form of sharks and year-round stingrays with barracudas, plus the prospect of catching marlin.

Formally, you need a license for fishing. But no one pays attention to tourists with fishing rods, therefore this is superfluous. It is impossible to fish in the ports: torn fishing line tends to be wound on the propellers.
If you catch on the float tackle, then the float is put big. Otherwise, just do not notice a bite among the waves. Catching on a donk is more effective and throwing further. Weights at the end of the line, then a few hooks on the leashes at different depths. Bite is fixed by the characteristic blows. Even modest-sized sea fish is strong and the bait is strong.
Sea dragon
Most of the fish that can catch you are quite edible. Caution must be observed with fish without the usual scales and exotic appearance: among them are poisonous. First of all, these are hedgehog fish and backsports.
But the most dirty local fish is the sea dragon or scorpion. In Spanish it is called aranya. The bottom dweller is 15-25 cm in length with a big head,
