1 week Canary Islands sailing trip on a monohull with a maximum of 6 guests on board.
The starting and destination port for our Canary Islands trips is the Marina del Sur in Las Galletas on Tenerife.
Depending on the wind and weather, our cruise destinations are La Gomera, El Hiero, La Palma or Gran Canaria.
Sailors hungry for wind will get their money's worth here. The Canary Islands are a demanding sailing area and the wind can reach 25-30 knots. The waves can also be tough and can reach 2-3 metres or more.
If you're expecting a leisurely stroll around the bay, you're definitely in the wrong place. This is a demanding deep-sea cruise.
In the sailing area around Tenerife we find some inviting ports. Our starting point and destination port is Las Galletas in the southeast of the island, the former fishing village is not far from the south airport and offers a nice promenade with some bars and restaurants. A supermarket is also within walking distance.
If the weather is good and visibility is good, we can admire the 3715 m high Teide from the boat after we set sail.
At 3715 msn, the Pico del Teide is the highest elevation on Tenerife and also the highest mountain on Spanish territory and, at 7500 m above the seabed, the third highest island volcano in the world.
From our starting point in Tenerife, we can reach La Gomera in just a few hours, as the distance is about 30 nm. Between Tenerife and La Gomera we also have the opportunity to observe the whales that live there.
La Gomera, the second smallest of the Canary Islands, with its wild, romantic landscapes, including a rainforest in the middle of the island and the constant veil of mist that surrounds the island, has something mystical about it.
The entire island can be easily explored by bus or rental car. Valle Gran Rey, also known as a hippie enclave, has a special charm. In front of Puerto de Vueltas on Agaga beach we find one of the few anchorages in the Canaries. From here you can also go on an island exploration tour with a rental car or admire the sunset drumming and the fire show of the hippies in the evening. Some cult bars and restaurants invite you to feast.
La Palma and El Hierro are also very impressive islands that we can easily reach on a week-long cruise. On La Palma you also have the opportunity to explore the island with a rental car and drive up the 2426 m high Roque de los Muchachos. From there, if the visibility is good, you can see Tenerife with the Teide and also La Gomera and El Hiero.
The Canary Islands' location on the edge of the trade wind belt is ideal for sailing. That's why the wind here usually blows from the northeast. But BE CAREFUL: the wind can get pretty strong between the islands.
The Canary Islands, with their mild climate all year round, enjoy an excellent reputation as a year-round holiday destination. In the winter months, temperatures are actually constantly just over 20°C. In wind-protected corners, it can quickly reach 24-15°C. There are very few rainy days here.
The sun shines on average 8 – 10 hours per day.
water temperature Ø 19-23°C
