About
We offer a variety of ʻGenuineʻ fishing excursions from a half day 4 hour, or a full day 7 hour trip. On all trips we do a mixture of Game Fish Trolling & Bottom Fishing, approximately half time trolling and half time bottom fishing, depending on what is fishing the best at the time, we use a variety of artificial and dead bait lures on best quality PENN and SHIMANO tackle when trolling for Tunas, Marlin, Wahoo, Dorado, Amberjacks, Barracuda etc, depending on what is in season at the time. The bottom fishing we sometimes do 'Drift Fishingʻ but mostly at anchor, over a specific mark, either the edge of a shelf, or on a line of rock and sand or basically anywhere we see fish showing up on the fish finder screen directly under the boat, it is very precise and effective. We use a mixture of baits, whole fresh caught dead baits on the heavy tackle for Big bottom feeding Flatfish, Snappers, Morays, Amberjacks etc and any big sea bed scavenger species that often take a big bait. Also we use lighter tackle for small to medium fish, and catch the fresh baits for the big rods, like Mackerel,Boga, Herring etc and other good eating fish like Snapper, Sea Bream, Amberjacks, Sea Perch, Trigger fish etc using baited hooks, feathers, artificial baits, just off the sea bed bottom. We practice ‘Catch & Release’ on most fish and any protected species accidentally caught are returned back to the water alive, all Game Billfish like Blue Marlin, White Marlin & Spearfish are always released. We also offer 'Private Charters' and 'Specialist trips' at discounted prices where you can decide want you want to target, we will always advise you as to what is fishing best at the time, as we also want a productive trip. The British owners of the boat and their crew are all fishing enthusiasts with many years experience who know these waters like the back of their hand. We cater for the serious fishermen and are also very willing to teach the novice, set up all the tackle and bait and give any advice and help if needed. Run by Father & Son, Mick and Jack, the Crested Wave has a very well known and respected reputation as a Genuine Fishing excursion. If you are an experienced fisherman you will know nothing is guaranteed when it comes to fishing, but believe us, no boat crew tries harder than the Crested Wave team. We do guarantee you will be very well looked after by the 3 of us, and pride ourselves on our customer service, that is why we are in the top of the reviews and have many regular repeat customers, and is probably the most well known fishing charter boat in Tenerife. Everything is included in the price, no hidden charges! All equipment, tackle, 2 rods each, bait, cold soft drinks, water and beers (food on the 7 hour trip). Full toilet facilities and shade around the whole boat if required. Reservations are normally necessary a few days in advance, but you can always check with us at short notice in case of any cancellations.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great days fishing on board Crested Wave 2.Booked full day on my own. Caught a good size Wahoo in the morning whilst collecting live bait out at sea off a fisherman and a wahoo showed itself.Not missing an opportunity Jack quickly put a live bait and put me on it.Everyone on board had a great day catching another wahoo and lots of tuna.Great boat and crew and an amazing experience.

It was unbelievable. We are a family of 5, all first-timers. They showed us the ropes and we all caught barracudas using live mackerel as bait, which we also caught beforehand. We even caught a yellowfin tuna, which they let us keep! Would absolutely recommend it to anyone, it was a blast!

Crested Wave Tenerife Fishing were amazing with my boys today. 1st time fishing & the team were so patient with them.
Really good & helpful from the initial booking to the end of the trip.
The team we're really hands on with them & helped them whilst being there for the other fishers too! Their Patience was fantastic. Nothing seemed too much trouble
we've all had a brilliant day & I'd highly recommend. We'll definatly be using crested wave again, they went above & beyond for everyone 🐟🐠🎣

Booked a 7 hour fishing trip with Crested Wave on my holiday in Tenerife. It was a great fishing experience, everyone on board caught at least one fish. It was also a very nice way to see the island from the ocean.

Another great day on the Crested Wave (first time on the new boat). More room and even more comfortable.
Good fishing once again with Jack continually looking for the best spots and stayed out longer than usual as the fishing was good down at Los Gigantes.
Everybody caught fish.and what made it even better was the great bunch of other anglers on board.
Can’t rate the crew or the experience they provide highly enough.

Hi, I would like to book a 4 hour AM trip for me and my wife as a spectator for end of November - can this be done online and what are the prices? Thanks
David S

Hi,
Yes this can be done and off the top of my head it’s roughly €60 for a half day and it’s a bit cheaper if your only a spectator. If you could I would really advise you do a full 8hr day as you get to cover trolling and bottom fishing. The Created Wave team will really look after you and they work their socks off to get you fish. Tight lines and good luck

Hi, how many people (tourist) are on rhe boat? What is the price for 2 adult + 2 kid (7,8years).
Mick W
Los Cristianos, Spain19 contributions
Sorry it has taken so long, I missed your Question, please excuse me !
We have licence for 12 clients on the boat but the maximum we can fish comfortably is 10.
We sail with a minimum of 4 to cover the running costs, and and average number is
7 or 8 fishers.
Everybody has a rod each full time for the trolling fishing and the bottom fishing.
We do not have adult and child prices as such, it's either fishing or spectating.
Full day 7 hour fisher is 110€ spectator 55€
Half day 4 hour fisher is 65€ spectator 33€
That being said, we sometimes let the young kids pay as a spectator but when we are doing the bottom fishing we sometimes give them a light tackle rod to help catch the 'Live Bait' fish, if they are under the boat that we then use on the bigger rods.
Also no problem with sharing the rods between you all.
Apologies again for the slow reply, but I have been away from the internet for some time !!!
Kind Regards

Do you need experience to be the fisher person? I am thinking of going with my boyfriend who has done a lot of fishing off Ireland, fishing small sharks etc. is there a criteria you need to fill to be classed as the fisher?

No, the crew are really helpful. A young lad of about 9 hooked the marlin. You will be fine.
Was wondering how many people you allow on board at one time?
Mick W
Los Cristianos, Spain19 contributions
Hello Jack,
We have a big boat and can comfortably take 10 but will go out with a minimum of 4, just to cover the expenses, and in that 10 we have room for a couple of spectators not fishing, so on average I would say we have around 6 to 7 anglers.
I am actually licensed for 12 passengers and 2 crew, but I prefer to always have 3 crew to give a better service. so if there is an extra spectator we sometimes accommodate them.
If you go to my website via the link on this tripadvisor page you will see a contact form where you can send me a message and I will email you back with more specific details,
Regards
Mick

Can you sell the fish you catch or do you have to release them or give them away for nothing?
Mick W
Los Cristianos, Spain19 contributions
No, we are not a commercial boat and are not allowed to sell the fish.
Most of the catch is released anyway but we will take some fish for eating and the customers on the boat are more than welcome to take fish for themselves for eating, as there are a lot of self catering apartments here where people have cooking facilities.
As long as the fish is of legal size and not a protected species, that's fine
