A day on the water, with real play built in. This Gulliver Fun Yacht trip turns Tenerife’s coast into a floating activity park, with a waterslide and multiple ways to get in the water during a tight 3.5 hours. You’re not just watching the sea—you’re using it.

Two things I really like: the range of included watersports (slide, SUP, kayak, water bike, snorkelling gear, and an underwater scooter) means kids and adults can pick their own pace. And I love that food and drinks come along for the ride—Canarian-style lunch plus unlimited soft drinks, beer, wine, and cava.

One heads-up: if wind is strong, the crew may need to adjust what you can do in the water that day. It’s not a deal-breaker, but plan for some weather reality.

Key highlights worth your attention

• Waterslide + underwater scooter + snorkeling gear in one package, so you’re not hunting for activities later
• Up to 12 guests on a private group size that keeps the deck from feeling crowded
• Canarian lunch and unlimited drinks that make the time on board feel like a proper meal, not a snack stop
• A crew that runs the safety basics so you can go from briefing to water play smoothly
• Stops around Los Cristianos, Palm-Mar, and Playa de las Vistas for both sightseeing and swim time
• Music onboard (you can play your own vibe) that adds to the party-on-a-boat feel

Gulliver Fun Yacht: the “why this works” version

If you’re the type who wants your vacation to include movement, this kind of yacht outing is a smart use of time. A 3.5-hour window is long enough to get a proper dose of sea time, yet short enough that you’re not dragging everyone back when they still want to play.

The Gulliver is a 20-meter yacht built for family fun. It’s described as a bit older, but what matters on a trip like this is flow: getting people into the water when equipment is ready, serving food without turning the whole day into a wait, and keeping everyone organized when multiple activities are happening at once.

The real value is that this isn’t a “stand and look” cruise. It’s a do-stuff trip. The waterslide and the underwater scooter are the big attention grabbers, but you also get practical options like kayaking and snorkeling gear, so you’re not limited to just one type of fun.

Where you meet and how boarding usually feels

You meet in Puerto Colón, Gate 13. The vibe here is casual but efficient—think: get your group together, get oriented, and then settle in quickly so you can start the fun while everyone still has energy.

From there, the outing focuses on cruising along the coast and building in activity time. The deck setup makes it easy to rotate between lounging and going hands-on with the equipment.

Practical tip: arrive with your beach towel and sunscreen ready. You’ll move fast once the safety routine and water prep begin, and it’s easier if you’re not scrambling for essentials.

Los Cristianos: the break and the sightseeing rhythm

On this trip, Los Cristianos is part of the story. You’ll get a pause that feels like a breather—plus photo stops and sightseeing as you go along the coast. There’s also guided-style elements built into the cruising time, so even if you’re not doing water play nonstop, you’re not stuck staring at the horizon.

This is also where the mood becomes clear: the crew is managing a schedule that includes both watching the scenery and getting people moving. If you have kids, this “in-between” time is helpful. It gives them a chance to reset, grab snacks, and gear up again when the water activities are ready.

One thing to note: the day’s pace can change based on conditions. Stronger wind can mean less time in the most equipment-heavy activities. The upside is that the crew’s job is to keep the plan flexible rather than simply canceling.

Palm-Mar’s Aquatic Cave area: a scenic stop with swim energy

The yacht route includes a visit around Palm-Mar’s Aquatic Cave area. Even if you’re more excited about the watersports than the scenery, this stop matters because it’s part of why the trip feels like more than just “out and back.”

What to expect here is a mix of cruising and time tied to the water theme of the day. This is also the kind of spot where people naturally shift into snorkel mode and think about what gear they want next.

If you like underwater time, keep in mind that the schedule often works best when you don’t over-plan your personal sequence. Pick one “big” activity you really want first (like the underwater scooter or slide), then use the rest of the time to try something gentler like snorkeling gear or a kayak.

Playa de las Vistas: where the water play really happens

The trip also stops at Playa de las Vistas, and this is where the action energy concentrates. This is where you’ll spend time using the water equipment—snorkelling gear for exploring the surface world, and the underwater scooter for a more guided, hands-on way to see what’s under you.

This is also the best place to take advantage of the waterslide. It’s the activity that turns the deck into a kid-and-adult mix of cheers, laps, and waiting for your turn.

If you’re traveling as a family, this stop is ideal for splitting by interest:

• Kids often go straight for the slide.
• Older kids and confident swimmers may prefer snorkeling and the underwater scooter.
• Anyone who wants a slower pace can pick kayaking or SUP.

All-inclusive on board: food and drinks that actually help

The lunch is included, and that alone removes one of the biggest headaches of yacht days: you don’t need to think about where to eat. The meal is Canarian-style and comes with vegetarian rice, roast chicken, potatoes, salad, bread, plus snacks.

Is it gourmet? No. But the way it’s described makes it clear it’s more than just a token lunch. One review calls out that the rice stood out, and the general take is that food is basic but fine—the kind of meal that fills you up without slowing down the schedule.

Drinks are also included as unlimited:

• Water
• Coca Cola and Fanta
• Lemon/orange soda
• Beer
• White wine
• Cava

This is a big part of the value for adults. You get a “treat day” feeling without counting drinks. And for kids, the soft drink options keep them happy while adults do a round or two of relaxing.

Watersports menu: how to choose without missing your favorite

The headline here is variety. You get access to waterslide, water bike, SUP, kayak, snorkelling equipment, and the underwater scooter. That matters because different people enjoy water differently—some want speed, some want calm, and some just want to feel like they’re exploring.

Here’s how I’d plan it if you want to maximize smiles:

Start with the slide or underwater scooter

These are the “peak excitement” activities. Getting them early helps because everyone’s still warmed up, confident, and ready to go.

Then do one calm activity

A kayak or snorkeling session is a great reset. You’ll get a different kind of fun—less motion, more time to look around.

Use SUP if you want something active but not purely thrill

SUP is listed with a 1.5-hour block, which tells me there’s real time allocated rather than a quick try-and-finish. If your group has at least one strong paddler, SUP can become the activity that everyone talks about afterward.

Add a water bike if the group wants speed

A water bike is often the middle ground between “gentle” and “adrenaline,” depending on how brave your crew feels.

One more practical note: you’ll get a safety briefing before water time. It’s not just formalities. It helps you use the equipment correctly so you waste less time figuring things out while the best weather window is happening.

Crew and service: why organization changes the whole day

A yacht outing lives or dies on the crew’s ability to keep things smooth. On this trip, the service is professional, and that shows in the basics: drinks arrive quickly once you’re settled, and the crew explains how the activities work in a clear way.

There’s also a “we’ll work with you” element. In one case, wind conditions meant water activities like the slide couldn’t happen as planned. The crew still tried to take the group out to see what they could do, and then rearranged the trip for another day when it became clear the water play wouldn’t work safely.

That flexibility is a big deal for families. You don’t want a company that shrugs at weather. You want a crew that tries, then adjusts.

Price and value: how the math works for small groups

The price is listed as $1,048 per group up to 12 for 3.5 hours. That’s a private-group setup, not a seat on a crowded party boat.

Value-wise, here’s the key: you’re paying for (1) the yacht and professional crew, (2) the included lunch, and (3) a wide menu of watersports with equipment. If you were to buy that separately—snorkel gear rentals, a guided SUP or kayak session, and a slide-and-aquatic setup—you’d likely spend much more for less variety.

For families, the biggest win is predictable spending. You also get adult drinks included, which can make the trip feel like a full “day out” instead of a short activity you need to supplement with dinner later.

The one caution: deck space for sunbathing can feel tight for the full 12 if you all want lounge time at once. If you’ll be at or near capacity, I’d recommend prioritizing shade breaks and water time over expecting lots of wide-open lounging.

Who this trip is perfect for (and who should think twice)

This is a great fit if:

• You’re traveling with kids or teenagers who want hands-on activities
• You want a mix of calm and thrill: slide, snorkelling, underwater scooter, kayak, SUP
• Your group wants a private vibe, not a big public boat
• You care about included meals and drinks so the day stays easy

Consider skipping or choosing another format if:

• You want a quiet cruise with minimal commotion
• Your group hates getting wet or doing active water time
• You’re very sensitive to weather changes and can’t be flexible about timing

The good news: the trip is short enough that even a “less ideal weather” version still feels like a proper experience, because the crew can shift what they can run safely.

Practical tips to make your day smoother

A few small prep moves pay off:

• Bring a hat, sunscreen, and a beach towel.
• Wear swimwear you’re comfortable leaving on for the water activities.
• Plan to do your most wanted activity first (slide or underwater scooter), because the weather window can tighten.
• If you have swimmers and non-swimmers in the same group, pick a “calm” option for half the people so the whole group doesn’t feel stuck waiting.

Also, bring the mindset of rotating. This isn’t one activity for three hours—it’s a schedule with multiple turn-taking moments.

And if you’re the kind of group that likes music, having a speaker onboard helps the mood. It turns the yacht into a mini party without feeling forced.

Should you book the private yacht trip from Puerto Colón?

I’d book this if you want a short, family-friendly Tenerife water day where the fun is built in and you don’t have to manage logistics at every step. The included watersports, the included lunch, and the unlimited drinks are the big reasons it feels like real value—especially for groups up to 12.

Book it particularly if your group includes kids who will actually use the equipment. The slide and underwater scooter are the kind of activities that make the day feel special fast.

Skip it if your dream trip is quiet sailing or you know you won’t handle any weather changes. Wind can affect what’s possible, and while the crew works to adjust, you’ll still need to be realistic about sea conditions.

If you’re traveling during a time when you can stay flexible, this is one of the easier ways to buy your way into a genuinely active, crowd-free experience.
