From Tenerife to Madeira – Offshore sailing on the Atlantic Ocean

This is a top-rated activity! 30 people have viewed it today.

When winter reigns in the north, we sail in warmer latitudes. From Tenerife to Madeira

We sail between the Canary Islands or from there up to Madeira. We enjoy the days and nights on the Atlantic Ocean with pleasant temperatures, plenty of water, and a feeling of freedom. We start in the sunny Canary Islands (Tenerife) and enjoy a few days of bluewater sailing on the open Atlantic.

The trip combines offshore sailing with arrival in the unique landscape of Madeira.

The sailing yacht is ideally equipped for this and can be wonderfully steered over the Atlantic waves; even for beginners it is a great experience, and experienced sailors will certainly learn a lot.

Plan

Period: March 5, 2027, 5:00 PM to March 14, 2027, 10:00 AM (9 days)
Start: San Miguel, Tenerife
Destination: Quinta do Lorde, Madeira

On board, we sail using a watch system, and everyone is actively involved. Navigation, weather observation, and sailing maneuvers are carried out by the respective watch. 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. This trip is suitable for anyone who wants to gain their first offshore sailing experience, log nautical miles, or deepen their practical knowledge.

In March, the climate around the Canary Islands and Madeira is like an eternal spring. The trade winds and their associated wave system are challenging, so the exact sailing plan depends on the prevailing conditions.

Sailing takes place on a 43-foot Beneteau Oceanis. The yacht has three double cabins and one cabin with bunk beds, providing ample space and comfort for several days at sea. Final cleaning and linen washing are handled by 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.
