Yacht Charter in the Canary Islands
Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote
The Canary ISlands form an archipelago made up by seven main islands located in the atlantic ocean near the tropic of cancer in front of the african coast of western sahara
The Canaries today consist of seven islands divided into two areas. The province of Las Palmas brings together the major island of Gran Canaria and the lesser ones of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. The province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife encompasses Tenerife and its satelite islands of la Gomera. La Palma and Hierro. Within the archipelago there is a variety so extreme that it is easiest to refer to it as a mini-continent.
The isles share an eternal spring climate but they differ dramatically amongst each other. Exploring the Canaries you move from sub-tropical vegetation to volcanic semi-deserts, from verdant cliffs and gorges to sand dunes by the sea shore.
The seven main islands of the Canary Islands are well spaced out so that it is only a day's sail between most of them. The logical route for most yachts arriving from the north is to visit Lanzarote and Fuerteventura first before sailing to Gran Canaria, then Tenerife, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Palma.
Canary Islands climate
Despite its position close to the tropics, the Canaries are not too hot in summer, 21-29°C, pleasantly warm in winter, 15-20°C cruising ground. The frequency of gales is low and the islands are not affected by hurricanes. In the trade wind belt, the prevailing wind is north-easterly.
