High altitude crossing from the Canary Islands to Madeira and …

This plan includes a high altitude crossing of about 300 nautical miles, in which we will cross from the island of Lanzarote to Madeira.

It is a crossing through the waters of the Atlantic Ocean that can last about 3 days / 2 nights of continuous navigation, in which watches are carried out among the crew. You actively participate, getting involved in the navigation plan, review of the weather, sailing, safety, night navigation, and planning of the entire navigation.

Within the days that you are on board, we will cross the days when we have a more favorable forecast and the other days, we will dedicate them to sailing along the coast of Lanzarote or Madeira and getting to know these islands.

Plan

This is an example of a program that will depend on the final weather forecast that we have during those days:

Day 1. Boarding day. We will study the weather to define the navigation plan for the following days.
Day 2. Navigation along the coast of Lanzarote.
Day 3 - 5. High altitude navigation from Lanzarote to Madeira.
Day 6. Day to rest at the anchorage / port where we are. We can look for some anchorage in the south of the island of Madeira, such as Caniçao or visit the Desertas Islands.
Day 7. Coastal navigation through Madeira to the cliffs of the Sao Lorenço Lighthouse. You can take an excursion to the lighthouse.
Day 8. Coastal navigation to the port of Funchal.
Day 9. Day to visit the island of Maderia by land.
Day 10. Disembarkation day in Funchal.

It was a great experience sailing with Carlos y Aroa and I would would strongly reccomend sailing with them. I felt very welcome safe and comfortable throughout the holiday and nothing was too much trouble. When not sailing we enjoyed hiking and other events that we all enjoyed. The Azores are fantastic too.

Great combination of sailing and discovering what some of the Azores islands have to offer in a very relaxed way. Carlos and Aroa are the perfect hosts, eager to share their home and their passion for the sea and the planet at all times. I enjoyed every single minute, and look forward to their next sailing proposals.
