Playa de las Américas has no fishing harbour of its own. Boats serving this stretch of coast run from Puerto Colón, a few minutes north along the seafront — close enough that a fishing morning does not eat your whole day.
Getting to the Boat
From most of Playa de las Américas the marina is a short taxi ride, and from the northern end — around Torviscas and the Costa Adeje boundary — it is walkable. Allow more time than the map suggests at peak hours; the coast road is busy through the middle of the day.
Confirm your exact meeting point and time with the crew when you book. It varies by vessel and by trip.
Which Trip Suits You
- [Shared trip, from €85](/fishing-tours/shared-trips/) — you book a seat rather than the boat. Best for solo travellers, couples and anyone testing whether they enjoy it.
- [Private charter, from €490](/fishing-tours/private-charter/) — the whole vessel for your group, four hours or full day. Families with children usually prefer this: the pace bends to you.
- [Full day, from €1,000](/fishing/big-game/) — the only realistic format if blue marlin or serious tuna is the point.
If you are still deciding, private vs group lays out the trade honestly.
What You Can Expect to Catch
The shelf drops past 1,000 m within minutes of leaving the harbour, which is why a half-day from here reaches real fishing water. Realistic on a 4-hour trip: tuna, bonito, dorado, barracuda. Marlin is a full-day proposition, and we will tell you that before you book rather than after.
Staying Elsewhere in the South?
The same boats serve the whole coast — see Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos, Las Galletas and Los Gigantes, or the locations overview for how the marinas connect.
FAQ
Do fishing trips depart from Playa de las Américas itself?
No. Boats for this part of the coast leave from Puerto Colón marina, a short taxi ride or walk from most of the resort.
How far is Puerto Colón from Playa de las Américas?
A few minutes by taxi from the centre of the resort, walkable from the northern end. Build in a margin at busy times of day.
Is a fishing trip suitable for kids staying in the resort?
Often yes, on a 4-hour private charter where the crew can adapt the pace. See our guide to fishing with kids.
Can I fish from the beach in Playa de las Américas?
It is not productive ground and the beaches are busy. If you want to fish from land, read our shore fishing guide — and note that you need your own licence for it.
