Disappointed - My original booking was changed the day before as work needs to be done on the Galatea. I was moved to the Nomado instead and it was described as an... read more 'upgrade'.
The yacht was uncomfortable to say the least.We saw very little wildlife which I know is not guaranteed. There was a promise of sandwiches and drinks for everyone! This comprised of one small sandwich for each person and one drink. Not value for money in my opinion. If this was an upgrade it sorely disappointed
The perfect day! - We had the BEST day with Diego! My family of 4 plus our two friends made the trek to the southern tip of Tenerife after arriving the same morning on... read more a cruise ship in Santa Cruz. Our cruise ship moved the departure time up an hour, but everyone accommodated us and let us do the excursion an hour early. We saw a mom and calf pilot whales, dolphins showing out doing flips, flying fish, and a huge sea turtle that surfaced right by the boat. It was a perfectly sunny and warm day with yummy snacks and wine. Unforgettable experience!
Fabulous Experience - Had the most amazing few hours onboard Galatea! From the moment we met Patrick, we felt super welcome. Thank you to Juan, our Captain, for an unforgettable experience. His knowledge... read more of the water was second to none and his humour had us all laughing - he made the experience amazing! We were lucky enough to see Turtles and Whales and stopped for a picnic and a swim in a beautiful cove. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!
Sailing with an Irish twist - Wonderful sailing experience with a funny Irish captain, who knows his trade and keeps you entertained during his trips. Definitely recommended if you don’t want to go on crowded tours... read more that are also offered nearby. We saw whales, went snorkelling, enjoined some snacks and had an overall good time!
Fabulous Dolphin & Whale experience - Absolutely fabulous, whales, dolphins - the dolphins swam with our boat, just 4 of us on board and such an amazing experience! Thank you our skipper Diego
Best experience of all time - Had the best time on this sail boat. Patrick is a great captain, very informative and was able to answer all our questions. We had lots of fun and laughed... read more the whole time with him. Seeing the pilot whales in their natural habitat was beautiful and we would definitely book with Patrick again

Brilliant day out highly recommended it👍

I tried many trips in Tenerife. Jose Ramon is simply the best you can get. He is very discrete, explains everything there is to know and answers all your questions. He really takes good care of all his passengers and makes the nicest sandwiches. For me only Galatea!
We saw the whale, was a great day out!

Everything❣I had a lovely day& and a very nice & helpfull skipper👍who made us a picknic🥤🍺👌.
We saw the whale, was a great day out!

Unforgettable experience at Galatea! José Ramón is concerned at all times that all passengers enjoy. Cruise on a fully equipped sailboat, ideal for small groups, making the trip intimate and relaxed. We have seen … almost brushed !!! pilot whales, we have snorkelled, bathed in a beautiful cove, had a great lunch and enjoyed the stories of the skipper. It leaves a good taste in your mouth. The people of Cordoba greet you !!!

It has been fantastic, very relaxing, a wonderful journey, in the company of the best captain of these seas. At all times he has been very attentive to his passengers. Regards José Ramón !!! from your Cordovan friends.

We highly recommend this boat trip. We had many to choose from, but chose this due to the intimacy of having less people and a more tailored package.
We couldn’t fault our experience! Thank you Ramon.

We had an amazing experience with Jose Ramon, he was very knowledgable and made sure he looked after each person on the boat
Our sailboat is one of the few in Tenerife with this distinction, that certificate that this company fight for a sustainable development. We believe that its possible (and essential) to enjoy our sea respecting the environment. We are “Blue boat”, it is, we are authorized for certain observation by the Canary Islands Government, Directorate General of Planning and Tourism Promotion.
