Sail in the Canary Islands

Tall Ship sailing is a novel way to enjoy the Canary Islands.

Don’t enjoy just one Canary Island when you can enjoy sailing from one to another. The journey is part of the adventure and you carry your home with you!

The Canaries have some common aspects, warm winters, plenty of sunshine and great sailing, but the differences between the east and west are very pronounced.

The Eastern Islands

Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are the driest of the islands and famous for wind surfing and near desert highlands.

In the Middle is Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria’s climate is quite diverse, due to its central mountain range.

Western Isles

Tenerife is a fascinating island with forests and great walking. Has the highest mountain in Europe Mt Tide and often with a snow capped peak. Always popular with tourists but it is easy to get away from the crowded beach resorts.

Gomera is circular and effectively just one big hill, with all the villages hanging off the edges or squeezed into the valleys.

La Palma is lush with vegetation and near great whale and dolphin spotting areas.

El Hierro, the smallest of the islands and where Columbus set off to discover America. America was not lost it had always been there, Columbus was just the first European to have recorded his voyage there and back.
