FAQ
Which guide should I read first?
If you are choosing dates, start with the season calendar. If your dates are already fixed, start with target species to see what is realistic in that window.
Do I need a fishing licence in Tenerife?
On a guided or chartered trip the licence is normally the operator's responsibility, so guests typically do not need a personal permit. The rules and licence guide explains where that applies and where it does not.
Are these guides specific to South Tenerife?
Yes. They describe the water we work — the shelf and channel south and west of Puerto Colón. Conditions on the north coast of the island are different, and we do not pretend otherwise.
