Luxury Catamaran Cruise with Brunch and Unlimited Drinks
A Tenerife catamaran cruise with brunch is already a good idea. Add live commentary about marine life and a route past iconic coastal spots like Las Galletas and Los Cristianos, and you’ve got an easy half-day plan that feels just a bit special.
I love the way this trip blends comfort with actual sea time. I especially like the Balinese-style beds for relaxing in the sun, and the unlimited beer and soft drinks that keep things simple.
One thing to keep in mind: this is a whale-and-coast cruising experience where the brunch is designed to be light for the sea, and timing can shift based on navigation and wildlife activity. If you’re expecting a full-on hot restaurant meal served perfectly on schedule, you may feel let down.
Key highlights to zero in on
- Balinese beds on a 5-star catamaran for real relaxation, not just sitting on a bench
- Unlimited drinks: beer, soft drinks, and water, so you can pace yourself
- Live commentary about islands and marine life along the way
- A Canarian brunch made with local, 100% Canarian foods
- Coastal route views: Las Galletas, Punta Rasca Lighthouse, Diego Hernández Beach, Los Cristianos cliffs
- A fixed time window of about 3 hours, so you plan your day around it
Luxury Catamaran Cruise on Tenerife, from Las Galletas to Los Cristianos

This is the kind of Tenerife outing that works even if you do not want a big sightseeing day. You’re on a 5-star catamaran, cruising the south coast, with the goal of spotting marine life and enjoying the shoreline from the water.
The meeting point is Marina del Sur in Las Galletas, and the ride loops back to the same spot in the afternoon. Along the way, you’ll pass sights like Punta Rasca Lighthouse and Diego Hernández Beach, then head toward the dramatic Los Cristianos cliffs before returning.
The overall feel is relaxed. This is not a get-off-and-walk-everywhere tour, and that matters when the sun is up and your feet would rather be doing something else.

Price, Time, and What You Get for About 3 Hours
At $72.59 per person for roughly 3 hours, you’re paying for three things: a premium catamaran setting, food and drinks, and the chance to enjoy Tenerife from a marine perspective.
Here’s the value logic. Unlimited drinks plus a brunch means you’re not constantly budgeting in small chunks on the day. And the ship itself is part of what you’re buying. People who liked it usually talk about the boat being clean, comfortable, and genuinely “luxury,” not just decorated.
Still, consider that it’s a short cruise. You’re not out for a whole afternoon plus dinner. You’ll want to treat it like a planned sea outing, not like a substitute for a full day on the island.
Meeting Point and Pickup: Easy, but Be on Time

The start point is Five Star Boat Trip Catamaran, Marina del Sur, Pantalán 3, 38631 Las Galletas, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The activity ends back at the meeting point.
If you booked pickup, you should arrive early at your designated pickup point. The rule is simple: wait 10 minutes before the scheduled pickup time, and drivers will not wait more than 5 minutes after.
Practical tip: write down your pickup details exactly as shown at booking, and bring them up on your phone. One small mismatch can turn your trip from smooth to stressful in five minutes flat.
Also note: it’s described as near public transportation. That’s useful if pickup changes last minute or you want a low-risk Plan B.
On Board Comfort: Beds, Unlimited Drinks, and the VIP Choice

What makes this trip feel premium is how you can actually lounge. The experience mentions Balinese beds on board, which gives you a real chance to settle in and enjoy the breeze rather than constantly searching for a decent viewing angle.
Drinks are unlimited beer, soft drinks, and water. That’s a big deal for comfort and value because you are not waiting in line for a top-up every few minutes. It also lets you decide your own pace. You can keep it light, or go steady, and still feel like the trip is built around you relaxing.
Now, about the VIP option. One review mentioned paying an extra €30 per person for a bed that included a towel and one drink. Another common VIP theme is the clear separation between normal and VIP areas, including priority steps on board and being served food first.
Here’s the consideration: VIP does not automatically mean better sun. One person noted the VIP beds did not have a sunroof, and in some cases that could feel worse than sitting in the middle where more shade might exist. So if you hate direct sun, factor that into your choice.

Brunch That Works with Sea Time: Canarian Food, Kept Simple

The brunch is described as inspired by local culture and made with local, 100% Canarian foods. For a cruise, that usually means food that can handle movement and won’t have you feeling heavy while you’re floating.
In practice, expectations vary. Some people said the food was delicious and good quality, and they liked how drinks flowed. Others felt the brunch was basic or not as advertised, and one issue was the food arriving cold with a long wait.
So what should you do? If you’re the type who needs a hot, multi-course meal to be happy, adjust your mindset. This is a light brunch paired with sea time, not a stand-alone dining experience.
If timing matters to you, you’ll also want patience. When marine life is active, the ship’s route and speed can change, and that can affect how and when food is served. Plan for a gentle rhythm, not a rigid one.
The Coastal Route You’ll Actually See from the Water

This is where the cruise earns its keep. The route is built around specific coastal viewpoints, so you’re not just heading out randomly and hoping for good views.
You can expect to cruise past:
- Las Galletas, where the trip starts and you get an immediate feel for the south coast
- Punta Rasca Lighthouse, a recognizable marker for the area
- Diego Hernández Beach, giving you a look at the shoreline from a different angle
- Los Cristianos cliffs, where the coast looks more dramatic from the sea
A bonus here is the narration. The experience includes live commentary about the islands and marine life, so you can connect what you’re seeing with context, rather than watching quietly and guessing.
And yes, the main “big moment” is marine life spotting. This outing is designed with whales and dolphins in mind, but sightings are never guaranteed. The route and pace are described as determined by where marine life is found and sea conditions on the day.
Swimming and Relaxing Time: How to Make the Most of It

The itinerary style is straightforward: you cruise, you lounge, you listen to commentary, and you get a window to cool off. The experience specifically notes that you can take a dip in the ocean or relax on board after brunch.
That matters because catamarans are breezy and sunlit, and you want a way to reset. If you’re visiting in warm months, a quick swim can turn the cruise from pleasant to genuinely memorable.
Practical tips based on what’s implied by the boat setting:
- Bring swimwear you’re comfortable using in a sea setting. Rinse and dry as best you can, but do not expect a spa setup.
- Pack reef-safe habits if you use sunscreen. The data doesn’t say anything about marine protection rules, so follow local guidance once you arrive.
- Wear footwear with decent grip. One review mentioned the boat could be slippery, which makes sense on a deck with spray.
If you go into this expecting calm, easy boarding and zero motion, you might be disappointed. If you go in expecting a sea day with sun and water, you’re set.
Who This Trip Fits Best, and Who Should Think Twice

This is a strong pick for you if:
- you want a short, premium experience without a long transfer day
- you like wildlife-style cruising where the real payoff is spotting marine life
- you care about comfort, including lounge-friendly beds and a clean, well-run boat
- you want food and drinks handled so you can focus on the views
It may be less ideal if:
- you need food to arrive hot and exactly on time, every time. The brunch is meant to be simple for sea time, and timing can vary
- you are very sensitive to crowding. A review mentioned it could feel overcrowded, even with VIP separation
- you are bothered by slippery surfaces. If you do not like wet decks, plan footwear and take your time moving around
If you’re celebrating something (anniversary, birthday, just “we survived work this week”), the cruise style works. Several highlights in the feedback focus on the crew being welcoming and the day feeling special.
Should You Book This Tenerife Catamaran Cruise with Brunch and Unlimited Drinks?

Yes, you should book it if your top priority is a comfortable sea outing with unlimited drinks, Canarian brunch, and the chance to see whales and dolphins. The overall ratings are high (about 4.7), and the booking activity happens about 20 days in advance on average, which usually signals steady demand.
You might skip it if you want a guaranteed, strictly scheduled dining experience. This trip is built around cruising conditions and marine life activity, so go for the ocean first, the brunch second.
If you do book, I’d plan your expectations like this: treat the food as part of the fun, not the main event. Bring sunscreen, plan for a bit of deck movement, and keep your phone ready for the moment the horizon turns into something you can’t ignore.
