Frequent questions
  • When is the best time for a sailing trip in the Canary Islands?
    The Canary Islands are suitable for sailing year-round. October to April are particularly pleasant, thanks to the mild climate and steady trade winds. Temperatures then usually range between 20°C and 26°C, rarely dropping below 18°C at night – ideal for comfortable sailing without extreme heat.
  • What routes are offered for sailing in the Canary Islands?
    Popular routes lead between Tenerife, La Gomera, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria, combined with island hopping or mileage trips.
  • Is sailing in the Canary Islands challenging or also suitable for beginners?
    The Canary Islands offer varied but manageable conditions. The coastal areas around Tenerife, La Gomera, or Lanzarote are ideal for beginners, while longer island crossings are somewhat more challenging and exciting for experienced sailors.
  • Are the winds in the Canary Islands the same all year round?
    The trade winds blow from the northeast year-round. In winter they are stronger – for a sporty sailing experience – and in summer they are calmer – ideal for leisurely cruises and beginners.

Sailing trip through the islands of Lanzarote, La Graciosa and Fuerteventura
It has been an amazing experience! We have two children, and we have really enjoyed sailing, anchoring, waking up baths, beautiful snorkeling, paddle surfing, fishing, dolphins and sharing all this with Aroa and Carlos, who have taught us, be careful and exquisitely cooked. Eager to repeat!

Sailing trip through the islands of Lanzarote, La Graciosa and Fuerteventura
GREAT EXPERIENCE
I have been 10 days with Carlos and Aroa in August 2021, in Lanzarote sailing. It has been a great experience! Apart from the fact that we have sailed a lot with a great wind and a good sea, I have to emphasize how nice they are both.
They have done everything possible so that the 6 of us who were on board were as comfortable as possible. They have a very good vibe and are very pleasant and friendly. I have also loved the practically organic food that they have been making, with a lot of salads and local vegetables and fruits. A great success!
And above all we have felt super safe, they are great professionals, both Carlos as skipper and Aroa, they sail great, they know what they do and you feel very comfortable and safe with them! The boat is very good, it sails wonderfully, it is a safe boat, with all kinds of comforts and spacious, that fits everything.
Lanzarote is a beautiful island, with incredible beaches with very few people and sometimes semi wild and super clear water. We have also gone to Isla de la Graciosa, which is beautiful and Isla de Lobos, which is ideal and wild.
It has been a great experience that I recommend to everyone! If I can I will sail with them again and I recommend it to everyone who likes the sea and sailing !! Thanks for everything Carlos and Aroa !! And congratulations for making this sailing experience in Lanzarote so pleasant!

Sailing trip through the Western Canary Islands
You will hardly find a better balance between sailing with two experienced skippers (willing to let you learn from them) and mountain, gastronomic and cultural visits once on land :-)
Thank you very much for the days we have spent together. I will definitely repeat.

A week on a sailboat around the Canary Islands from Lanzarote
It was our first trip and it has been an unforgettable experience. Israel and Nahna are magnificent people who have made us feel at home on their cozy boat. Israel transmits great knowledge and confidence, and we have learned a lot about navigation. We will follow their trail to continue sailing on the sailboat!

  • Where to go on vacation in the Canary Islands?

    If you are planning your vacation in the Canary Islands and do not know which island to choose, we will help you and you can even visit several places by boat in the Canary Islands. The best destinations for your holidays in the Canary Islands by boat are:

    1. Tenerife

    The island of Tenerife is the largest of all the Canary Islands. Tenerife stands out for having beaches of fine white sand. In addition, we can also see a good amount of vegetation. During your vacation in the Canary Islands aboard a sailboat, you can observe the great mountains, like the famous Teide mountain.

    Tenerife is the ideal island for sailors who love nature and who also seek to disconnect from day-to-day.


    2. Gran Canaria

    A mild climate throughout the year and the freedom to get on a boat to go through every corner and feel that you can make the most of these vacation days.

    The island is a Biosphere Reserve and the truth is that it has all the ballots to be. It is said to be a natural open-air museum and the culprits of this are the parks, reserves, landscapes, massifs, and ravines that completely cover it. If you love nature, these are the names you have to know: Tamadaba, Pilancones, Nublo, Doramas, Inagua, Maspalomas or Barranco Oscuro among many others.

    Sailwiz has the best boats so you can enjoy your holiday in the Canary Islands.
