The Canary Islands consist of seven large inhabited islands (La Palma, El Hierro, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, La Gomera, Gran Canaria and Tenerife) and a few more small islands near Lanzarote.

The beauty of the islands comes from its volcanic origin. According to legend, they are the peaks of Atlantis. The steep cliffs, green slopes, palm trees, cacti, white villages and the nice temperature make this sailing area quite different from our northern sailing area. The Western Isles (Ell Hierro, La Palma and la Gomera) are green with black lava beaches, while the eastern islands (Fuerteventura and Lanzarote) are dry with wide beaches covered with Sahara sand.

The Canary Islands are ideal to explore with a sailing yacht, due to its many islands. All islands now have marinas. Some islands/ports lie further apart, but fortunately, because of its length the Cherokee is a fast and comfortable cruiser. Therefore al islands can be reached in a day trip. Our sailing voyages are a nice balance between travelling, culture and relaxation. We’ll be in a harbor or anchor every night.

On our ‘category C’ sailing holidays there will also be time for sightseeing. This means that the vessel will stay a day in a harbor and if you like, you can explore the island for example.

In general, the wind comes from the North East. This wind can accelerate spectacularly in certain places and turn 180 degrees in other places, due to land influence. If you would like to sail with us around the Canary Islands, you don’t have to worry about anything, since the skipper knows the sailing area. You don’t need sailing experience.

We will regularly have to carry out a sailing maneuver. The sailing enthusiast can help us, but nothing is mandatory, after all it is your holiday, you can simply enjoy and relax.
