Sail through the Canary Islands on a Tall Ship: Tenerife

Set sail on a circular journey between Tenerife and La Gomera on this historic tall ship. Driven by the steady trade winds, this ocean adventure lets you discover the Canary Islands from a unique perspective, embracing the traditional pace of a classic tall ship.

Along the way, you can fully immerse yourself in shipboard routines—from raising the sails to taking a turn at the wheel—or simply soak in the peaceful flow of the Atlantic passage.

La Gomera is famous for its dramatic ravines, lush greenery, and coastal hamlets. Take time to wander its scenic hiking paths, admire its volcanic terrain, and embrace the tranquil charm that makes it distinct from its larger neighbors.

Once back on deck, unwind as you watch the shores drift by, or scale the rigging for an unforgettable view over the open ocean. Your journey concludes in Tenerife, where pleasant weather and striking landscapes await your return to land.

This schooner was once the flagship of the Portuguese cod fishing fleet. Built in 1937, in the same year as her sister ship Creoula, she was designed to fish the Newfoundland Banks and rich fishing waters of Arctic Greenland. She often carries the small rowing and sailing dories that would have set out from the mother ship to fish for cod, so you can continue her fishing tradition from small boats or from her huge wooden decks.

A great experience. A debt to the crew, who has been kind and very attentive. Captain Joao, a great professional. Hi, it would make sense to navigate both of them. The vaixell, impeccable. The menjar, molt bo. And it feels like it's like a house. Navigation with winds of 45 knots is fair and safe.
