Sailing Holidays in Tenerife

Just off the coast of Africa, the Canaries enjoy year round sunshine and Tenerife provides superb sailing holidays all year.

The Canaries are situated close to the northwest coast of Africa off the Western Sahara. With constant north-westerly wind throughout the year, the sailing is exhilarating but yacht charter in the Canaries requires more experience than in the easier Mediterranean destinations.

Starting your yacht charter in Tenerife gives you the chance to visit three of the most untouched islands in the Canaries - La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro, long considered the "world’s end" until the discovery of America.

The Canary Islands are spectacular volcanic mountains but there are plenty of good harbours and marinas. During your sailing holiday keep an eye out for dolphins and pilot whales that play in the bow wave.

Suggested Sailing Itineraries

 DAY 1 : Santa Cruz

Embark at Santa Cruz the capital of Tenerife, about 30 minutes from the airport.

 DAY 2 : San Sebastian (28nm)

San Sebastian on La Gomera was the starting point for Columbus on his first voyage. Overnight in Puerto de Playa Santiago and savor the local Gomera cuisine. The whole island is an unexplored place of wild beauty - go ashore and enjoy the scenery of steep cliffs and beaches, palm groves and the Garajonay National Park, a unique ecological treasure of crystal clear waters and green laurel forests.

 DAY 3 : Puerto De Tazacorte, La Palma (60nm)

The most exotic of the islands formed from a volcanic crater with a coastline of majestically steep cliffs and black volcanic sands. La Palma is called the 'Pretty Isle' by Canary Islanders for its spectacularly lush vegetation, abundant clear waters and floral wealth which are in sharp contrast to the many volcanic forms that are testimony to the island's origins.

 DAY 4 : La Restinga, El Hierro (65nm)

Spectactular scenery above and below the water and the sea is so clear, a paradise for snorkellers and divers. All this, plus the kind and friendly nature of the people, makes a visit to the smallest of the Canary Islands a charming experience.

 DAY 5: Puerto de Valle Gran Reyiseros, La Gomera (45nm)

A very picturesque harbour.

 DAY 6 : Los Gigantes, Tenerife (25nm)

A lively marina with a superb beach.

 DAY 7 : Santa Cruz de Tenerife (14nm)
