Sailing voyage through the Canary Islands: from Tenerife to …

We offer you a week of sailing, crossing the Canary Islands. We will travel from the Island of Tenerife, to the islands of Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.

During this week, we assure you practical training in sailing, in which you will be able to learn and perfect your sailing skills, acquiring new knowledge and sharing the experience with other sailors.

In addition to sailing and learning, we will enjoy this wonderful environment that the Canary Islands offer us.

Going from the westernmost islands, mountainous, with high altitude and lush forests and diversity of landscapes, to the easternmost islands, with desert landscapes, expanses of dunes, and white sand beaches.

We will look for places to anchor and/or ports to spend the night, sailing and getting to know unique places on these Atlantic islands.

Plan

Boarding will be on Saturday on the island of Tenerife starting at 5:00 p.m.

We will spend the first night in port and plan the route for the following days studying the weather together.

The following days we will make crossings of between 30 and 60 miles, crossing the coast of Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, looking for the best shelters to spend the night.

Disembarkation will be the following Saturday morning until 12:00 in Lanzarote.

The Canary Islands offer us an ideal environment to face new situations. Navigation conditions can sometimes be demanding and we have to know how to adapt to the changing conditions of the environment such as the areas of wind acceleration that we find on the islands.

What will you learn?
*Route planning according to the weather.
*Maneuvers.
*Sail trimming.
*Safety and life on board.

It has been a unique experience, we have learned about navigation and visited incredible places that you can only access by boat. An alternative and active vacation to get to know other places and cultures, avoiding tourist sites. The boat was spotless and very comfortable to live in. Aroa and Carlos are very nice, I will repeat
