200sm island hopping in the Canary Islands

Varied sections between coastal sailing and open sea make this trip ideal for mile collectors and sailors who want to deepen their experience in offshore sailing.

Our November mileage cruise takes us from San Miguel via the verdant Canary Islands of La Gomera and La Palma to Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Along the way, we'll accumulate around 200 nautical miles on a modern Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 389, ideally suited to challenging Atlantic conditions.

Plan

Tour details:
- Date: 14.11.2025, 17:00 to 22.11.2025, 10:00 (9 days)
- Route: San Miguel – La Gomera – La Palma – Santa Cruz, approx. 200 nm
- Cost: 690 € per person (plus arrival & departure and on-board cash)
- Requirements: Basic sailing knowledge is an advantage, team spirit and enjoyment of active sailing

Daily life on board is characterized by active participation: We sail in watch systems, practice night sailing, work with weather routing and navigation, and deepen our knowledge of seamanship. Both beginners with some experience and advanced sailors will find this an ideal opportunity to gain practical experience and assume responsibility on board.

In November, we can expect steady northeast trade winds in the Canary Islands, making for sporty sailing. Temperatures are pleasantly around 20 degrees Celsius, and the water is still warm. Currents and jet effects between the islands demand active sailing and precise navigation. With a bit of luck, we might encounter dolphins or pilot whales, which are native to these waters.
Our yacht, the Sun Odyssey 389, features three cabins, six berths plus a saloon, a bathroom, and modern sailing equipment. An autopilot, plotter in the cockpit, bow thruster, and modern sails (renewed in 2024) ensure safety and comfort. The comfortable saloon and deck offer ample space for the crew.

A great sailing and water sports school. I obtained my SBF-See, SBF-Binnen/Segel and UBI/SRC here. Friendly, patient trainers who use their experience and skills to get you to the required exam level. Despite the training, there is still plenty of fun and they take the time to respond to special requests/concerns. I would love to come back here to broaden my maritime horizons.

The theory compact course (in my case SBF Inland) is really very good and prepares you ideally for the exam and beyond.
I also really liked the friendly trainers during the practical training sessions. This meant I was able to pass both exams straight away.

Very good preparation for the exam and future sailing experiences. You can see that all the trainers are very passionate about what they do.
There are always reports of experiences and additional theoretical background on all exam-relevant topics, so that you feel very well prepared the first time you are alone on the boat.

I just did my SBF inland sailing/motor here.
Great people, pleasant atmosphere. The teachers are easy-going, but still competent and can show you what is important when sailing.
If you don't feel completely confident with certain maneuvers, just ask. There is no rigid curriculum that has to be followed. You can decide for yourself where you need more practice.
As you gain experience, you will spend some time on board with just other students. This helps you to feel responsible for the boat and the maneuvers and to coordinate with the other students. But don't worry, a boat with a teacher is always nearby if something goes wrong or you have any questions.
