I have used Gavin Glen Fishing Tenerife
times over the years, going out with my two younger boys and my dad, and we honestly couldn’t recommend Gavin enough!
Both of my boys absolutely loved going out fishing with Gavin and it’s something they’ve always looked forward to. He is so friendly, patient and welcoming, and really made the trips enjoyable for everyone. It’s been lovely seeing the boys’ excitement and creating such great memories together as a family.
Gavin is brilliant at what he does and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you step aboard. Whether you’re experienced or completely new to fishing, he makes sure everyone has a fantastic time.
We’ve had some amazing days out over the years and wouldn’t hesitate to go with Gavin again. I would highly recommend Gavin to anyone visiting Tenerife.
My kids can’t wait to come back again next year and they go fishing again.

AWFUL HOST, He ruined the trip for us all! Please read
He was an AWFUL host, absolutely NO social skills, takes you out without saying a word for 2 hours then once we still had no fish after 2 hours just sat watching him do it, I politely asked what’s the next steps to be met with attitude and told to be patient making all 6 people on board uncomfortable the rest of the journey. All he did was talk about his bad reviews and how he does all the work then go on to slag off hard working people in a factory saying he works harder but he’s glad he’s not one of those people. Awful experience and to think he charged me 88 euros. Please, please, please if you do this find someone that still has passion and knows how to entertain guests that are paying hard earns money! And he likes to shove tubes up the fished bum, he says it helps them deflate but once they reterned back into the sea, they were lifeless and chat GpT said there wasn’t even a need to do this.

Amazing fishing trip
This fishing trip was great. The person on the boat was very friendly and speaks English and Spanish very well. He was very experienced in fishing and has a very neat and tidy boat. Would definitely recommend if you are in Tenerife 👍

Bad communication, between app and tour provider
Arranged a fishing trip with pickup and drop off. With furia based in Las gallettas Tenerife.Using the get your guide app, pick up location, timings were sent via the app which was a 3 minute walk from my accommodation. Arrived 15 minute's early for a 1200 hrs pick up with details of vehicle make and colour. No sign of vehicle at 1200 hrs, waited an extra 30 minutes still no vehicle, returned to my accommodation. Contacted get your guide app explained the problem. £95 pounds out of pocket,recent reply 20% voucher on my next trip valid for two years. Not impressed

Amazing fishing trip
What an incredible experience! The whole trip was amazing from start to finish. The atmosphere was full of good vibes, and Gavin is an incredibly experienced fisherman who made the day both fun and unforgettable. I even caught a 20kg stingray, which was honestly one of the best experiences of my life! I learned a lot, had a fantastic time, and would definitely do this trip again. Highly recommended! 🎣🙌

The fishing gods were not with us.
I went out with my brother and a friend and a price was negotiated for a small party of 3.. I really enjoyed it even though we caught very little, We told Gavin we liked to catch things like red snapper and wahoo and were not really interested in big game fish. We met Gavin and his son Gavin Glen at the marina and set off at 0900. We went north up bthe coast to a reef just offshore where we were planning to catch the baitfish for the amberjack/red snapper wahoo we would have liked to catch. Gavin had just set up a tank and pump for this livebait but we only caught one and it died. However we did catch some lovely fish on the reef. They were some sort of wrasse and beautiful colours. One was blue and gold and another was jet black. They were not livebait. We also caught some parrot/puffer fish that were very small and not bait fish. For our final hour we went bottom fishin g for ray and dogfish. We did catch an eagle ray but pulling something up from 70 metres is not exciting.
It is a nice boat and the new engine ws being run in so we did not go anywhere at high speed.
We are all in our seventies and the other two in our party are very fit but I am the oldest at 75 nd getting unsteady on my feet. I was very impressed the way Gavin and his son made sure I boarded and disembarked safely. There was a nice toilet on board and beer if you wanted it. Gavin said it was unfortunate that the baitfish had not turned up and the species we fancied catching might have been caught on frozen squid. We still had a really good day. and Gavin and his son looked after us.

Awesome charter experience!
Awesome charter! My husband took our 10 year old son and he has so much fun. Captain Gavin was very courteous. They caught so many different fish. Highly recommend.
