2 Hour Private Sunset Cruise on Luxury Motor Boat with Drinks
The best part of this Tenerife outing is the privacy. Your group has the entire luxury motorboat for two hours, so the sunset feels more like a private celebration than a standard boat trip. From Puerto Colón Marina, you cruise along the coast with champagne, snacks, fruit, and drinks already covered.
I like two things right away: unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks keep the evening simple, and Jose and Juan add a personal touch that suits birthdays, proposals, or a quiet night for two. The main drawback is the price if only two people book, since the $921.15 charge is per group rather than per person.
Key points to know before you book

- Private boat for up to 10: You share the motorboat only with your own group.
- Two hours from Puerto Colón Marina: The cruise starts and ends at Av. de Colón, 5, in Costa Adeje.
- Sunset drinks are included: You receive champagne, snacks, fruit, light refreshments, and unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks.
- Jose and Juan lead the outing: Their warm, attentive service is a major part of the experience.
- Good for celebrations: Dinner, cakes, and flowers can be arranged by request.
- Weather matters: Poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund.
Setting out from Puerto Colón Marina

You meet the crew at Av. de Colón, 5, in Costa Adeje, at Puerto Colón Marina. The experience ends at the same meeting point, so you do not need to arrange a separate return from another harbor.
This is a useful setup if you are staying near Costa Adeje or already spending time around the marina. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so you need to make your own way there. The meeting point is near public transportation, which helps, but the booking does not include a transfer service.
Once aboard, the evening begins with a cruise along Tenerife’s coast. The boat itself is part of the occasion. You can sit back, feel the wind, and watch the shoreline from the water rather than from a crowded road or a restaurant terrace.
The supplied information does not give a detailed route or promise specific coastal landmarks. That is worth keeping in mind. This is best understood as a relaxed sunset cruise with coastal views, not a tightly scheduled sightseeing tour with a long list of named stops.

Two hours built around the sunset

The cruise lasts about two hours, with the sunset as its natural centerpiece. Timing will matter because the best light depends on the date and the season, but the trip is designed around reaching the water in time for the evening view.
You will have time to enjoy the coast, look for marine life, eat small bites, and settle into the boat without rushing from one activity to the next. The pace sounds intentionally easy. This is an evening for sitting, talking, drinking, and taking in the view.
The two-hour length is also practical. It is long enough to feel like a proper outing, but short enough to fit into a wider Tenerife holiday. You can make it the main event of an evening without giving up an entire day.
The tradeoff is that two hours can pass quickly, especially if your group wants a long meal, extended swimming time, or a large amount of sightseeing. The supplied details do not promise swimming, snorkeling, or a full dinner. The focus is the cruise, sunset, drinks, and light food.
Champagne, snacks, and drinks without the bar bill

The included food and drink give this trip much of its value. You receive a glass of champagne, light refreshments, snacks, fruit, unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks.
That arrangement removes one common worry on a private boat trip: watching the drinks menu while the clock runs. You can settle into the evening knowing that the main refreshments are included rather than added one by one.
The food is light rather than a full meal. Think of it as something to nibble while cruising, not a replacement for dinner. If you want a more substantial celebration, dinner can be arranged on request. Cakes and flowers are also available if you are planning a birthday, proposal, anniversary, or another special event.
Vegetarian food is available, but you need to advise the operator when booking. This is a small detail with real value. Do not wait until boarding if someone in your group has a dietary need.
One booking for two people included two bottles of bubbly, but the standard listed inclusion is a glass of champagne. If the amount of champagne matters to your plans, confirm the arrangement with Tenerife Sailing Charters before you go.
What Jose and Juan add to the evening

Jose and Juan are named as the crew for this experience, and their manner is one of its strongest features. The available comments repeatedly point to friendly, attentive service and a personal approach.
That matters more on a private cruise than it does on a large group boat. With only your own party aboard, the crew can help shape the tone of the evening. You might want a calm ride with space for conversation, or you may be celebrating and looking for a more festive mood.
The crew is also described as attentive and good at making the outing feel special. One private cruise for two was noted for its personal touch, with the captain handling the experience in a polished way. Another birthday outing centered on the excellent sunset and the crew’s effort to keep the occasion enjoyable.
The information does not identify which crew member is the captain on every departure, so you should not assume Jose or Juan will fill the same role each time. Still, their names are useful to know, particularly if you are arranging a special occasion and want to discuss plans before boarding.

Why the private format changes the value

The cost is $921.15 per group of up to 10 people. For a full group, that works out to about $92 per person before any extra arrangements. At that size, the price becomes much easier to justify because you are paying for a private boat, crew, two hours on the water, sunset views, champagne, food, and unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks.
For two people, the calculation is very different. The same price comes to more than $460 per person. That is a serious splurge, even with the private setting and drinks included.
Still, a couple may find the privacy worth paying for if the cruise is tied to a proposal, birthday, anniversary, or once-in-a-holiday celebration. You are not simply buying two seats on a boat. You are reserving the whole setting for your own evening.
For larger families and groups of friends, the private format is the strongest value point. Everyone can share the cost, and nobody in your party is separated from the experience by strangers. You also avoid the uncertainty of a large group boat, where the atmosphere depends on the other passengers.
The price does not include hotel transport, souvenir photos, dinner, cakes, or flowers. Those extras can raise the total, so decide in advance how much of the celebration you want built into the booking.
The sunset and the Tenerife coast

The main visual reward is the view from the water. Tenerife’s coast looks different from a moving boat than it does from shore, and the cruise gives you changing views as the motorboat travels out from the marina.
You can expect the evening to build toward sunset rather than begin with a fixed sightseeing stop. The boat provides a broad outlook over the coast, with time to relax and take pictures. You may also have the chance to see marine life, though no particular species or sighting is guaranteed.
The sunset is weather dependent. Cloud cover, wind, and sea conditions can change the look and feel of the outing. The operator requires good weather and will offer a different date or a full refund if poor weather forces cancellation.
That policy is useful, but it also means you should keep some flexibility in your schedule. If this is the central event of a proposal or birthday, having a backup evening makes sense.
Best occasions for this private cruise

This is a strong match for a group that wants a polished evening without planning every detail. A couple can use it for a private celebration, while a family or group of friends can split the price and enjoy the boat together.
The experience is especially suited to:
- A proposal with champagne and optional flowers
- A birthday with optional cake
- An anniversary or romantic evening
- A small group celebration
- A holiday treat when you want something more private than a bar
The cruise may be less suitable if your main goal is a full meal, a long swim, or a detailed marine-life excursion. The supplied information emphasizes snacks and fruit, not dinner as a standard inclusion. It also does not promise a particular wildlife route or a set of famous coastal stops.
You should also think about your group’s tolerance for the sea. The information says most people can participate, but it does not provide specific advice for seasickness or mobility needs. Service animals are allowed. If anyone in your group has a concern, ask the operator before booking.
Practical details that can save you trouble

Confirmation is provided at booking, and the experience is offered in English. The tour is private, so only your group takes part.
You need to arrive at the listed meeting point in Costa Adeje. Since hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, allow time to reach Puerto Colón Marina by your own transport or public transportation.
Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. Changes made within 24 hours are not accepted, and a late cancellation is not refunded. Since the cruise depends on good weather, the operator provides a different date or a full refund if weather conditions cause the cancellation.
Book ahead if the date matters. The experience is booked, on average, nine days before departure, which suggests that popular sunset times and celebration dates may not remain open until the last minute.
Who should book it
I would choose this cruise if privacy matters more to you than getting the lowest possible price. The boat, drinks, sunset, and personal crew service create a special evening, particularly when you share the cost among several people.
I would also choose it for a proposal or birthday because dinner, cake, and flowers can be arranged. Those additions let you turn a simple cruise into a planned event without organizing every part yourself.
For a couple on a tight budget, the price may feel steep. A shared sunset boat or a meal overlooking the coast could cost less, though neither would give you the same private setting.
For groups of up to 10, the numbers make more sense. You get a private boat and a generous drinks package without paying separate bar prices throughout the trip. Just remember that the standard food offering is light, and the meeting point is your responsibility.
Should you book this Tenerife sunset cruise?
Book it if you want a private, polished evening on the water and are happy to pay for the setting. Jose and Juan bring warm, attentive service, while the included drinks and snacks make the night easy to enjoy.
The decision is less clear for only two people because the full group price becomes expensive. In that case, book when the occasion itself matters more than strict value. For a larger group, a birthday, or a proposal, this two-hour cruise has a much stronger case.
