Atlantic Sailing Crossing from Gran Canaria to the Caribbean …

Come and enjoy ocean sailing on a beautiful, strong and robust sailboat fully equipped to take on high seas voyages.

During the trip you will learn the concepts necessary to implement safe and well-planned ocean navigation.

We will depart from the port of Gran Canaria heading south for 7 days towards the Cape Verde archipelago, where we will stay for 5 days to visit the islands.

We will then set sail from Cape Verde heading west across the Atlantic Ocean to reach the island of the Dominican Republic (Samaná) in about 20-25 days of sailing. When we arrive in the Dominican Republic, you can spend a few days on board the sailboat until your return flight leaves (5 additional days from arrival, approximately).

In total, the duration of the activity would be approximately 42 days.

You can also do it in sections, that is, only from Gran Canaria to Cape Verde or only from Cape Verde to the Dominican Republic. Both sections can also be found on Sailwiz:
- From Gran Canaria to Cape Verde.
- From Cape Verde to the Dominican Republic.

Plan

We set sail from the port of Gran Canaria at 10:00 a.m.

We look for the descending current until we hook the northwest winds that help us descend to the latitude of the Cape Verde archipelago, specifically to the Island of Sal. This navigation will last about 7 days and during them you will learn the concepts of ocean navigation.

The ship will stay for 5 days in the Cape Verde archipelago for sightseeing.

After that, we will set sail towards the Dominican Republic (Samaná) for a journey of about 20-25 days across the Atlantic Ocean.

We will arrive in Samaná and have another 5 days to visit the island before taking the return flight approximately a month and a half after leaving the Canary Islands.
