From Baiona, located in the Vigo estuary, Rias Baixas, Galicia, NW Spain, we will sail to the Canary Islands. Specifically, our goal is perhaps the most beautiful of all the islands: the island of Lanzarote.
Day by day, the temperature will rise, as we enter the trade winds. These will start pushing us from strength to strength and the temperature will rise... taking away layers of shelter until we reach eternal Canarian spring.
The arrival to the Canary Islands archipelago is overwhelming. Geologically they are spectacular, brimming with exotic colors and always warm under the sun. Probably the most charming and diverse archipelago in the Spanish Atlantic fulfills all its subtropical promises. Pearl of the Atlantic, island of eternal spring... the Canary Islands deserve all kinds of superlative adjectives.
The voyage takes place aboard our large, safe, solid and easy-to-navigate 22-meter steel Ketch. On board we will board a maximum of 8 passengers, each with their own single bed. In the living room, a large multipurpose day area where we teach meteorology classes, meals are served and a cozy room in our spare time.
The crew consists of an experienced captain and a first officer, both bilingual (English and Spanish at least), so that there is always a person in charge on duty.
On board we will teach (to all those who dare) the profession of the sailor, with the possibility of certifying your knowledge with titles such as RYA Competent Crew, RYA Watch Leader and RYA essential Navigation & Seamaship. In addition, there will be the possibility of making the necessary miles for the RYA Yacht Master and PPER qualifications.
This is a voyage for active travelers, we sail the boat together. We teach you everything you need to know along the way, from safety, life on board, navigation, etc., to steering the ship.
Prior coastal and night sailing experience is required.
Naturally, there will also be plenty of time to relax, read a book and have stimulating conversations with fellow travelers.
During the night we will have a guard regime. This way, we can continue sailing 24 hours a day and everyone on board the ship will have enough time to rest, eat and sleep. Nights at sea are magical; due to the complete lack of light pollution, you're not just stargazing: you can see the entire Milky Way in front of you.
Arriving in port after a long sea voyage is an unparalleled experience and a first impression on each crew member's personal ocean voyages.
