Sailing between the Canary Islands is a unique way to discover these beautiful islands and experience their natural and cultural diversity. It is a sailing holiday you will never forget.
We gather at the marina located on the southern part of Tenerife. It is close to Tenerife South Airport (TFS / Reina Sofia). Once everyone is gathered, we do the grocery shopping for the entire trip, familiarize ourselves with the boat, and get both it and ourselves ready. We have a safety briefing before setting off.
We plan the route based on wind conditions and the crew’s preferences. The sailing will mostly consist of day routes with some longer legs. Once everyone is accustomed to being on board, we may do a night sail to give us the opportunity to visit more islands. Sailing by moonlight under a star-filled sky, possibly with some bioluminescence, is a must-experience. Additionally, if we see whales and dolphins, we will come home with many memories.
If you are more experienced in sailing, you might appreciate when we hoist larger sails such as the Gennaker of 320 sqm or gain experience navigating in acceleration zones.
Sailing between the Canary Islands is an adventure that offers a variety of experiences and challenges. The islands have a subtropical climate with warm temperatures year-round. All the islands have good beaches and excellent opportunities for hiking. On La Gomera, we plan to rent bikes with transportation up the old volcano, so we can enjoy the view at our leisure.
