Preguntas frecuentes para canary Islands holidays

  • 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.

  • 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.
