About

Galatea Sailing invites guests to experience Tenerife’s turquoise waters aboard a classic sailboat that blends comfort, adventure, and a passion for marine conservation. With a crew of over twenty years, the team—speaking Spanish, English, and French—whispers stories of the islands while steering a small vessel that can accommodate up to seven people. Passengers are treated to an open‑bar experience, freshly sliced sandwiches, and a daily menu that blends local flavors with the pleasures of the sea. Whether the charter is organised as a group excursion or a private affair, each journey features extensive whale, dolphin, and turtle sightings plus optional swimming stops in secluded coves. Beyond the wildlife, the trip offers the unforgettable sight of pilot whales surfacing to splash beside the boat, playful dolphins leaping in sync with the waves, and the occasional glimpse of sea turtles feeding at a quiet cove. The sunrise horizon and sunset over the Atlantic provide endless photo opportunities while the calm deck allows passengers to relax in a relaxed setting. Every voyage is guided by a licensed “Blue Boat” and driven by sustainability, ensuring sea‑life is respected while guests enjoy the natural beauty. The itineraries cater to a wide range of passengers from families seeking a gentle adventure with kids, to solo travelers and couples craving a serene afternoon on the water. When it comes to reservations, bookings are handled directly through the official website, giving customers a simple online experience. For any questions, patrons can contact the company via phone, email or through their official social media channels.
