Castellón-Gibraltar-Canary Islands crossing by sailboat

2-week crossing from Castellón to the island of Gran Canaria, passing through Gibraltar, aboard a sailboat, covering 1110 NM.

The first leg will be direct from the Club Náutico de Castellón to the Línea de la Concepción, sailing for 3 consecutive days and a total of 400 NM. Here we will spend two days visiting the Rock of Gibraltar: its streets, its mountain, we will go up by cable car, we will see its monkeys, the Cueva de San Miguel and the Grutas de los Milatares.

We will then head towards the island of Gran Canaria, crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, passing by Cape Spartel and sailing for 6 more days and another 710 NM, making a total of 1110 NM.

It will be a trip around the Mediterranean and a good part of the Atlantic, doing coastal navigation. We will sleep while sailing and the Captain will cook you things you have never tried before.

We are waiting for you!

Jaime is an expert navigator who knows how to adapt to the level of each person and thus transmit what he knows. He is flexible when it comes to making plans, schedules and so on, so the trip was very pleasant and instructive. On top of that, he takes care of the provisions and cooks some first-class dishes!

The experience couldn't have been better. Jaime is a very experienced person, a great communicator, with good conversation, and he also explains things wonderfully. The boat is super comfortable, he cooks very well, and he goes out of his way to make sure you are comfortable and learn as much as possible! Without a doubt, highly recommended. I will repeat!

I spent an extraordinary weekend with Jaime at Shams. I was looking for a safe experience (I think this part is sometimes undervalued), enjoyable and educational, not only have I found this, but I have also enjoyed good food and conversation. A 10 for Jaime. I will repeat!!
