From Lanzarote to Madeira – Offshore sailing on the Atlantic …

From Lanzarote to Madeira – eight days on the Atlantic Ocean

From the Canary Islands to Madeira: On this sailing trip, we leave Lanzarote behind and set course for the flower island. Several days on the open sea make this tour a true Atlantic experience.

This sailing trip takes us from Tenerife across the Atlantic to the flower island of Madeira. We cover a considerable distance on the open sea.

The trip combines the experience of a real deep-sea passage with arrival in the unique landscape of Madeira.

Plan

On board, we sail on a watch system – even at night. Everyone is part of the crew and is involved in navigation, weather observation, sailing maneuvers, and ship handling according to their experience. This leaves plenty of time to find your own rhythm at sea, experience the starry sky, and, with a bit of luck, observe dolphins or whales.

Sailing experience is helpful, but not required. More important are team spirit, reliability, and a willingness to actively participate in life on board. The trip is suitable for anyone who wants to gain their first offshore sailing experience and log nautical miles, or deepen their practical knowledge.

In February, the climate around the Canary Islands and Madeira is usually mild to pleasantly warm. However, wind, waves, and weather can be challenging on the open Atlantic. Therefore, the exact sailing plan depends on the current conditions.

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.
