Sailing from Los Gigantes: trips and differences

By the SantiagoDelTeide.com editorial team Updated: 2026-10-05 How we make this guide
Third Element Charters sailboat in Los Gigantes

Sailboats leave Los Gigantes marina with different aims: wildlife watching, small-group sailing or swimming along the coast. Third Element, Picarus and Blue Dream offer specific GetYourGuide products. Choose the experience and conditions, rather than the photograph alone.

Which option suits you

Wildlife-watching sail

Third Element and Picarus advertise observation trips. Animals are wild: no operator can promise sightings or approach more closely in exchange for a higher fare.

Swimming and coast

Blue Dream combines sailing, a swim and tapas. Swimming depends on sea conditions; check the exact food and drinks when booking.

Group and space

A sailboat usually feels quieter and carries fewer people than a large vessel, but offers less room to move around.

Before booking

Compare actual duration, capacity, guide language, toilet, shade, water access and bad-weather policy. These linked products advertise departures from Los Gigantes; check the dock in your confirmation.

The crew may alter the route for safety. If you are prone to seasickness, check the forecast and ask about the particular boat.
