A sea cruise with champagne can be simple—and this one is. You get a small shared charter vibe, a real food-and-drink setup, and an on-the-water break with snorkeling gear plus fun extras like sea scooters. One thing to plan for: it runs on open water, so wind and weather can change how smooth it feels.

I especially love the careful start: a quick safety talk, clear boat setup, and a welcome drink right at Puerto Colón—champagne for adults, fruit juice for kids. Then there’s the Playa del Duque stop, with tapas and free-flow drinks while you choose how active you want to be. The main consideration is timing: you’ll have a set 3-hour window, so you’ll want to arrive ready to enjoy rather than linger.

Small team energy matters here. Captains and crew are named and active—Juan and Michelle come up often, and Raul and Maxi are also credited for friendly service. With a maximum of 10 people and a restroom onboard, it’s built for comfort, not crowded chaos.

Key highlights at a glance

• Champagne welcome + all-inclusive drinks for adults (wine, beer, soft drinks, and bottled water)
• Tenerife water play with snorkeling equipment, paddle boards, and sea scooters
• Playa del Duque stop with time to swim, snack, and relax on deck (about 2 hours 40 minutes)
• Small-group limit of 10 for a more personal feel than big catamarans
• Crew who keep it friendly and moving, with Juan and Michelle repeatedly mentioned by name
• Good-weather dependent, with a fallback date or full refund if canceled for weather

Puerto Colón pickup and the small-group start you’ll feel right away

This cruise begins at Puerto Colón, pantalan 2 in Costa Adeje. If you choose pickup, you’ll be asked to wait outside your hotel reception, and staff will meet you at the agreed time. You’ll also be able to use a mobile ticket, and confirmation happens at booking.

What I like about this kind of setup is how quickly you get oriented. You’re not stuck hunting down a company desk or guessing where to go. With a maximum of 10 people onboard, the whole thing stays calmer—more space to move around and less time waiting for someone else.

It’s a shared charter, so you’re not getting a private yacht. But that’s also where the value comes from: you’re still getting a “nice boat” feel with a proper drink and snack plan, without paying private-boat prices.

Champagne, safety briefing, and settling in on board

Right when you board, the welcome is part of the experience. Adults get complimentary champagne, and children get fruit juice. There’s a short safety presentation before departure, plus a quick overview of the boat and how to use the facilities.

Practical comfort details matter on a short cruise. This one has a restroom onboard, which saves you from awkward timing. And because the group stays small, the crew can actually help if you’re figuring out gear or just trying to find your spot.

Also, this is in English, so you won’t be relying on gestures if you want to ask how the scooters or snorkeling equipment work. Service animals are allowed, and the activity is listed as suitable for most people—which is helpful if you’re traveling with mixed ages.

Playa del Duque: the main stop for tapas, swimming, and sea scooters

The heart of the trip is the Playa del Duque stop. Expect about 2 hours 40 minutes there, which is long enough to do something active, then switch gears and relax without feeling rushed.

Before you settle in, you’ll start with a glass of champagne as the captain steers toward scenic spots. Then it’s go-time for water activities. You have access to snorkeling equipment, paddle boards, and sea scooters. The gear is included, and the whole point is choice: you can be in the water for a while, then return to the deck when you want a breather.

On deck, the food setup is also part of the fun. You’ll get Spanish tapas including tortilla Española, jamón, cheese, fresh fruit, plus baguette-style snacks. And the drinks are all-inclusive: champagne, wine, beer, soft drinks, and bottled water.

Two small realities to keep in mind. First, water temperature varies by season; in cooler months the sea can feel chilly, so don’t assume it’ll feel like pool water. Second, the windy/cloudy factor can happen—one captain (Juan) was praised for keeping the mood light even when weather wasn’t perfect. In other words: the experience doesn’t fall apart, but your comfort at the waterline can.

What you might see out on the water

One of the joys of a cruise like this is the “we’re out there, so anything can happen” feeling. The sightings people mention include turtles, flying fish, dolphins, and even a hammerhead shark.

Now, keep it practical: marine life is never guaranteed. But you can still set a simple expectation—you’re in the right kind of coastal waters for chances at wildlife sightings, and you’ll have enough time in the middle of the cruise to look around.

If you’re snorkeling or using the paddle boards, you’ll also naturally spend more time watching from the water. That increases your odds of noticing something interesting close by—especially if you pause and scan slowly instead of rushing to the next activity.

The crew vibe: named staff who make it feel easy

This cruise doesn’t hide behind generic service language. Crew names come up—Juan and Michelle are repeatedly mentioned for making the day feel welcoming and for taking good care of both kids and adults. Raul and Maxi are also praised for friendly service and for keeping the food-and-drink flow going.

What you should care about is the practical effect: smooth pickup and transfer, quick communication, and a sense that the crew is paying attention. Even when weather is windy, the goal is to keep things enjoyable rather than tense. You can also pick up on a “we’re actually involved” tone—Juan is specifically noted for joining in with the group, which adds to the shared feel.

For families, this can matter more than you’d expect. One mention included space for a small child and a kid-friendly atmosphere. If you’re traveling with little ones, having staff who manage boarding, gear, and pacing makes the difference between stressful and fun.

Included extras that turn champagne cruise into real value

It’s easy for “luxury yacht + tapas” to sound like a label. Here, the value is in the list of what you truly get:

• Snacks Spanish tapas: tortilla Española, jamón, cheese, fresh fruit, plus baguette-style items
• Alcoholic beverages: champagne, wine, beer
• Soft drinks: soda/pop
• Bottled water
• Snorkeling equipment, so you don’t have to bring your own
• Paddle boards for a laid-back swim day
• Sea scooters for more speed and a more “wow” factor
• Restroom onboard

That’s a lot to bundle into a short 3-hour experience. And because it’s shared with a small group, you’re more likely to have time and space to use the activity gear rather than queue for it.

The only thing not included is tips. That’s normal for many tours, but it’s worth thinking about so you’re not surprised at the end.

Price reality: what $102.80 buys you here

At $102.80 per person, you’re paying for more than a boat ride. You’re buying an itinerary that stacks three things into one block:

1) a welcome drink (champagne for adults),

2) a full snack-and-drink setup (tapas plus all-inclusive drinks), and

3) included water gear (snorkel equipment, paddle boards, sea scooters).

That combination matters because it reduces your “extra spending” during the trip. If you’d otherwise pay separately for equipment rental, drinks, and a food stop, this often works out better than cobbling it together on your own—especially for a short, targeted outing.

One tradeoff: because it’s shared, you won’t get private-control timing. If you want total autonomy—your own music, your own pace, and your own swim spot choices—this may not be the right fit. But if you want a well-run “treat day” with a small crowd, it hits a strong balance.

Who this cruise fits best (and who might prefer something else)

This is a great match if you want a quick escape with real comforts. It suits couples, friends, and families who like being on the water but don’t want to over-plan.

It’s also a strong pick if you’re curious about trying sea scooters or snorkeling but don’t want to bring equipment or figure out how it all works. Included gear plus a small group makes that less intimidating.

Where you might rethink: if you’re sensitive to wind or open-water motion, or if your ideal day is “stand on land and sightsee for hours.” This experience is about water time first, sightseeing second.

And if you’re planning around weather, keep in mind this activity requires good weather. If the day is canceled for weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.

A quick packing checklist that matches the day

I’d pack like you’re going to swim plus snack on a boat. Plan for sun protection, and bring swim gear if you have it. If you’re snorkeling, you can use your own items if you prefer, but equipment is included.

Also think about layers. Coastal wind can cool you off even when the sun is bright. A light layer makes it easier to switch between deck relaxing and getting in the water.

Finally, have your phone ready. You’ll want to keep track of the meeting time, and having your mobile ticket accessible helps your day run smoothly.

Should you book this champagne and tapas yacht cruise in Tenerife?

If you want a short, high-comfort way to enjoy Tenerife’s coast, I’d say yes—especially because the day is structured for fun. Champagne and all-inclusive drinks reduce decision fatigue. Tapas feel like a real meal without turning it into a long sit-down. And the included water activities—snorkeling equipment, paddle boards, and sea scooters—make it more than just a pretty ride.

The biggest reason to book is the combo of small-group scale and lots included. With a maximum of 10 people, you’re less likely to feel rushed, and the crew can actually help when you want to try something new.

If you only want land sightseeing, or you need guaranteed calm seas, you might prefer a different style of tour. But if you’re game for open water and want a treat-day with a crew that keeps the mood friendly, this one deserves a spot on your list.
