The Canary Islands are a volcanic archipelago just off the coast of Africa, where black sand beaches, dramatic lava fields, and the towering peak of Mount Teide sit within sailing distance of golden dunes and laurel forests. Each island has its own personality — Tenerife's dramatic landscapes, Lanzarote's otherworldly volcanic terrain shaped by artist César Manrique, Fuerteventura's endless beaches and wind. Mild temperatures and steady trade winds make this one of the few places in the world with genuinely year-round sailing, no matter the season back home.
Our sailing tours in the Canary Islands take advantage of an archipelago where every island feels like a different world — volcanic craters on Lanzarote, black sand beaches on Tenerife, and endless golden dunes on Fuerteventura, often just a short sail apart. Routes mix dramatic coastal cliffs with calm anchorages, occasional dolphin and whale sightings, and small fishing villages where the pace slows right down. Because the climate stays mild year-round, there’s no bad time to explore. With us, you’ll experience the Canaries’ surprising diversity — one volcanic landscape at a time.
Chartering a yacht in the Canary Islands means sailing waters with genuinely mild conditions year-round, with well-equipped marinas across Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and Lanzarote. Choose independent bareboat sailing with a valid license, a fully skippered charter for a relaxed trip between islands, comfortable catamarans for families and groups, or fast motor yachts for covering more coastline in a day. With steady trade winds and dramatically different landscapes just a short sail apart, even a short charter feels like visiting several countries at once. Whatever your experience level, we’ll help you find the right boat for your Canary Islands adventure.
The Canary Islands’ mild year-round climate and steady trade winds make them one of the most reliable places in the world to learn to sail, whatever the season. Our skipper courses follow ISSA standards, leading to an internationally recognized license valid for life. Sheltered bays around Tenerife and Gran Canaria are ideal for beginners building basic boat handling skills, while open channels between islands offer more dynamic conditions for progressing sailors. Training combines online theory with hands-on practice at sea, individually or in small groups, on sailing yachts, catamarans, or motor yachts — with fresh local seafood waiting after each day on the water.

The Canary Islands offer sailing with a strikingly different character on every island. Tenerife brings dramatic volcanic scenery around Mount Teide and lively marinas. Gran Canaria mixes cosmopolitan energy with quiet southern beaches. Lanzarote’s otherworldly black lava landscapes, shaped in part by artist César Manrique, feel unlike anywhere else in Europe. Fuerteventura, further south, is known for its endless golden beaches and some of the best wind conditions in the archipelago. Every island has its own rhythm, and we’ll help you choose the route that fits your trip.
The Canary Islands’ year-round sailing season and dramatic variety take real local knowledge to plan well — and that’s exactly what we bring.
We truly know the Canary Islands' waters. We sail here regularly, understanding the local winds, currents, and the quiet coves that most visitors never find.
Our skippers know the best black sand beach without a crowd, the volcanic viewpoint worth the detour, and the calmest anchorage for watching the sunset. Every trip feels personal, guided by real local knowledge.
With islands as different as they are close together, we plan routes with comfortable distances, the right mix of lively towns and quiet coves, and flexible options if the trade winds shift.
Yes, sailing without a skipper in the Canary Islands requires a valid skipper’s license officially recognized in the country, such as a national license or an ISSA certificate. If you don’t have one yet, you can complete our ISSA training in advance.
Unlike most Mediterranean destinations, the Canary Islands offer good sailing conditions year-round thanks to their mild subtropical climate. Summer brings the warmest water and busiest marinas, while winter months stay comfortable enough for sailing without the crowds — a rare advantage in Europe.
It depends on the specific tour. Typically included are the yacht itself, a charter pack (bed linen, towels, basic cleaning supplies), and standard equipment. Fuel, marina fees, food, and a skipper (if not already included) are usually paid separately — always check the details of your chosen tour.
With islands as different from each other as Lanzarote’s volcanic terrain and Fuerteventura’s endless beaches, seeing every island in one trip isn’t realistic. Most guests focus on two or three neighboring islands rather than the whole archipelago — still enough to feel the incredible variety the Canaries offer.
