Atlantic Waves is a small sailing company in Puerto Colón, Costa Adeje, in the south-west of Tenerife. We take guests out on sailing yachts to see the pilot whales and dolphins that live off this coast — in small groups of no more than 11, or privately on a yacht reserved just for them.
Who we are
Our team has been sailing and watching whales off Tenerife for more than 20 years. We know where the pods feed, how the wind and the sea change through the day, and how to approach the animals calmly so that they stay relaxed — and so do our guests.
Atlantic Waves is a brand of Atlantic Yacht Charter S.L. (CIF B13977053). Our booking office is at Puerto Colón marina.

Licensed and responsible
Mizendoha, Lina Siete, Madoudou and IVO hold the Barco Azul licence and the permit to enter the whale-watching area. On every trip we follow the Canary Islands rules: a slow approach, a safe distance and a limited time with each group of animals. We never chase, feed or touch them.
What matters to us
Small groups. Never more than 11 guests, so everyone gets a place at the rail and time to talk to the crew.
Honest information. We tell you what you are likely to see — pilot whales on almost every trip, dolphins on about half — and never promise what nature cannot.
Everyone on board. Children of all ages, vegan and gluten-free food, and an accessible yacht for wheelchair users. Read more on our accessibility page.
Celebrations. Proposals, birthdays and hen parties on a private yacht, decorated and planned with you.
