Canary Island Charter Cruising

Private Charter Yacht Vacation in Canary Islands

The Spanish Canary Islands, located off the coast of West Africa, are an astonishingly well-kept sailing secret. A mild year round climate with a varied and beautiful backdrop, the seven islands of the Canaries offer a spectacular cruising ground with close proximity to each other. Despite the close proximity, each island has their own unique character and abounds with outdoor activities.
