The White Heaven is a private motor yacht with a captain, reserved exclusively for up to 11 passengers and available as a 3-, 4- or 5-hour programme. It is intended for those who want to spend a comfortable time on the ocean with their own group and without other passengers. This experience provides complete privacy and a more relaxed atmosphere, while the route and stopping point are always determined by the captain and the current weather and ocean conditions.
The modern Fjord 38 Xpress motor yacht is equipped with two 350-hp engines and an elegant teak deck. It offers a faster and more intimate cruising experience than larger excursion boats carrying many passengers. Each booking is for the entire motor yacht, so the price is not per person but for the whole group of up to 11 people.
During the cruise, the views may include Tenerife's coastline and, in clear weather, Mount Teide and La Gomera. Visibility, the route and the bays that can be visited may vary depending on the weather, waves and harbour conditions, so a specific route or particular sight cannot be guaranteed.
The programme includes a swimming and snorkelling stop in a suitable bay. The provider supplies the snorkelling equipment, but entering the water is not compulsory: anyone who prefers to relax may remain on the motor yacht. The time available for water activities depends on the selected duration, the route and the current conditions.
The charter also includes food and drinks. Spanish paella or canapés are served, while the selection of drinks includes water, soft drinks, beer, white wine and sparkling white wine. Food allergies, food intolerances or special dietary requirements must be reported before booking; an alternative menu cannot be guaranteed without prior confirmation.
The 3-hour option is the shortest, combining the cruise, relaxation on deck and the swimming stop within a tighter schedule. The 4-hour charter offers a more balanced option, while the 5-hour version provides the most time on the ocean. A longer booking means more time available, but does not in itself guarantee a longer route or a specific destination.
The White Heaven is primarily a private yacht experience, rather than a classic whale and dolphin watching trip. Spotting wildlife, reaching Los Gigantes or visiting any particular bay are not guaranteed parts of the programme. It is a good choice for couples, families, groups of friends and smaller celebrations if privacy and comfortable time on board are more important than a fixed sightseeing or wildlife watching route.
