Mile-building trip from Madeira to Tenerife

* Dates: November 22, 2026, 5:00 PM to November 29, 2026, 10:00 AM (7 days)
* Route: Quinta do Lorde (Madeira) – San Miguel de Albona (Tenerife), approx. 280nm
* Cost: €690 per person (plus travel and onboard expenses)
* Requirements: A desire to gain long-distance experience

This sailing trip takes us on a Beneteau 43 from the flower island of Madeira to the volcanic island of Tenerife. On this approximately 280 nautical mile offshore passage, we leave the coasts behind and dive into the blue of the Atlantic. The aim is to gain nautical miles and offshore experience on a classic route between the Macaronesian islands.

Plan

We sail day and night, living to the rhythm of the sea. Life on board is organized by a watch system, in which all participants are actively involved in sailing the ship. Navigation, weather observation, and sail trim are constant tasks. This voyage is for anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge, log sea miles for the SKS/SSS certificate, or simply seek the challenge of a multi-day passage on the open sea.

In November, we are at the beginning of the trade wind season. We can expect steady northeasterly winds that will carry us swiftly southwards. The Canary Current will further assist our journey. The water temperatures are still pleasant, and with a bit of luck, we will be accompanied by dolphins or even whales, which are native to these waters.

Our yacht, a Beneteau 43, is a proven and seaworthy cruising yacht. With its typical layout of multiple cabins and bathrooms, it offers ample comfort for the crew. The yacht is well-equipped for long voyages and features extensive amenities such as Starlink, redundant satellite communication, and Navtex.

A great sailing and water sports school. I obtained my SBF-See, SBF-Binnen/Segel and UBI/SRC here. Friendly, patient trainers who use their experience and skills to get you to the required exam level. Despite the training, there is still plenty of fun and they take the time to respond to special requests/concerns. I would love to come back here to broaden my maritime horizons.

The theory compact course (in my case SBF Inland) is really very good and prepares you ideally for the exam and beyond.
I also really liked the friendly trainers during the practical training sessions. This meant I was able to pass both exams straight away.

Very good preparation for the exam and future sailing experiences. You can see that all the trainers are very passionate about what they do.
There are always reports of experiences and additional theoretical background on all exam-relevant topics, so that you feel very well prepared the first time you are alone on the boat.

I just did my SBF inland sailing/motor here.
Great people, pleasant atmosphere. The teachers are easy-going, but still competent and can show you what is important when sailing.
If you don't feel completely confident with certain maneuvers, just ask. There is no rigid curriculum that has to be followed. You can decide for yourself where you need more practice.
As you gain experience, you will spend some time on board with just other students. This helps you to feel responsible for the boat and the maneuvers and to coordinate with the other students. But don't worry, a boat with a teacher is always nearby if something goes wrong or you have any questions.
