Where We Fish in South Tenerife

Where fishing trips in South Tenerife depart from and how to reach the boat from Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos, Las Galletas or Los Gigantes. Puerto Colón marina explained.

Almost every trip we run leaves from Puerto Colón, the marina on the Costa Adeje seafront. What changes by location is not the fishing — it is how you get to the pontoon and how much of your morning the transfer costs you.

The Departure Point

  • [Puerto Colón marina](/locations/fishing-puerto-colon/) — where the fleet berths, how boarding works, and where to park.

Fishing from Where You Are Staying

  • [Costa Adeje](/fishing-costa-adeje/) — closest to the marina; from parts of the resort it is a walk.
  • [Playa de las Américas](/locations/fishing-playa-las-americas/) — a few minutes down the seafront, walkable from the northern end.
  • [Los Cristianos](/fishing-los-cristianos/) — a short taxi along the coast, and the busiest base for visitors in the south.
  • [Las Galletas](/fishing-las-galletas/) — quieter, more local, and a slightly longer transfer.
  • [Los Gigantes](/fishing-los-gigantes/) — the cliffs and the deep water beneath them, further west along the coast.

Why the South Coast

Tenerife's 3,700-metre volcanic peak blocks the north-east trade winds, and the coastline from Los Cristianos through Costa Adeje sits in its lee. The result is a sheltered corridor that stays fishable on most days of the year while the north of the island is rough. Add the shelf dropping past 2,000 metres within a few miles of the harbour mouth, and deep-water fishing starts twenty minutes after the lines come off the cleats.

Whichever base you are staying at, confirm the departure marina and meeting time when you book — it can vary by boat and by date. Then choose the format: fishing tours compares them, and our fleet shows the boats.

FAQ

Which marina do trips leave from?

Puerto Colón in almost all cases. If your trip departs from elsewhere we will tell you when you book, not on the morning.

How far is Puerto Colón from my hotel?

From Costa Adeje it is typically a short walk or a few minutes by taxi; from Los Cristianos or Las Galletas, a short drive. Build in a margin — the coast road is busier at peak times.

Can I fish from the shore instead?

Shore and rock fishing exist along this coast, but that is a different activity from a guided boat trip and not something we operate. The fishing rules and licence guide explains where the requirements differ.

Is there parking at the marina?

There is parking in and around Puerto Colón, but availability and cost vary by season and time of day — check current options locally rather than assuming, and arrive with time in hand.
